I have tried to change the account settings for my hotmail emails, but for STMP settings Oauth2 was not listed as an available option. Please advise. I am able to access hotmail emails on an Android tablet, but need to reset Thunderbird on my laptop.

Hi Guys, I wonder if you can help . I have had Monzilla Thunderbird App for some while , primarily used for email, and access to my email account with Microsoft and has always been a bit of a pain to say the least. That I fear is because it was never set up properly by myself in the first place.

However, at the moment I can't receive any email from my PC ......."bards@btconnect.com " unless I sign in via a webpage. However, access via my smartphone using supplied Outlook email app, no problem.

So I am hopeful that you guys can help me sort out my PC access once and for all.

The current problem has arisen after receiving a forced donation / subscription page from Mozilla having made my donation I still do not have access to my email and folders.

Brief history: i. Originally PC access to account via Monzilla working fine, (donations made at intervals to Monzilla). ii. Microsoft then changed security systems and servers and with current setup at the time I couldn't get access to email incoming or outgoing ( problem with Imap / PoP3 servers). iii. Fix provided by Monzilla with new account denoted as .... bards@btconnect.com (OWL) whatever OWL stands for I do not know, (annual subscription required). iv. Even with the use of this get around , I still had problems sending mail this I believe was a problem down to default passwords and old server settings. (confliction between default settings and original account settings and use of OWL ? ). v. As mentioned above the current problem has arisen after receiving a forced donation / subscription page from Mozilla having made my donation I still do not have access to my email. problem with server settings again. Don't know what's going on ? and I am thoroughly confused and would appreciate some help getting things back on track. Just in case I have some difficulty accessing this platform and this forum / help page it would be much appreciated if any help could also be sent to the following email addresses bards@btonnect.com and grahambardo@hotmail.co.uk Many thanks

I have to use MSN now for my email server since your software no longer works!!! I can't send anything through your software now that you "upgraded" your TB software without my permission. Not sure why, but MSN is now saying that Outlook won't work with TB. So, good luck with that.

I've been a faithful Thunderbird user since the beginning - and continue to use Thunderbird with our company's Microsoft365 deployment

until Monday of this week -- when suddenly I find that my credentials are being refused.

The symptoms

• XXX: Connected to outlook.office365.com
• nothing in the activity viewer
• no email coming in

I've read and tried all the fixes proposed in the article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202 (restarting thunderbird after each step, naturally)

• have authorized Thunderbird to our Microsoft365 tenant
• created and tried registering with a new thunderbird profile
• have set my security settings to 'accept all cookies'
• have used the config editor to remove 'oauth2.issuer' and 'oauth2.scope' values
• I've checked that my account in Microsoft365 has IMAP and Authenticated SMTP enabled

So, since Monday, I've been living in hell, trying to pretend that the Microsoft Outlook app for macOS is useable, but it's practically debilitating to be forced to use that piece of software.

Can somebody please point me to another possible set of steps that I can use to try and diagnose this?

I absolutely hate myself for having to ask for help on this, but I'm at my wit's end...

Hi there! I am using Thunderbird with an Outlook e-mail account. Due to the slowness and cumbersomeness of the syncing with the Outlook IMAP server I have deleted my IMAP account and created a POP3 account. Now all is well except for one thing: I have two Drafts folders. One of them is named Drafts - Local Folders, the other Drafts - OUTLOOK - Local Folders. They are both sub-folders of my Drafts folders. I am almost certain that the second one is a leftover from my deleted IMAP account. I have found some discussions and “solutions” of this issue online but none of them seem to fit my situation, and the instructions in them do not reflect what happens on my screen. Any assistance you may care to provide will be very much appreciated.

As of version 115.0 for 64bit, I am unable to send emails to Outlook.com. An error occurs saying:

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to the Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again.

There are no issues sending emails to Outlook.com using a different mail client.

Using IMAP to outlook.office365.com and I've stopped getting new mail. I can send mail but not receive. It just times out after a couple of minutes. Any help is appreciated. Settings match microsoft's server names etc. Steve

I have connected my wifes outlook acc. and my Gmail acc. without issue, one on each of the user profiles, but with the 3rd my Outlook acc, I keep getting the "Unable to log in at server..." error. The Name/email/password are all correct. I have tried connecting my 3rd email account (+New/Existing Mail Account) as the 2nd account on different profiles but I get the same error trying to connect my Outlook acc.. I have verified that Thunderbird is configured to accept cookies. Is there some issue with having 2 outlook accounts linked to the same instance of Thunderbird?? (I hope not!! - that would be a complete deal-breaker!) Is there anything else I can try? Many thanks

I have several Outlook.com e-mail addresses in TB 115. Every time I start TB, I get the popup window to send a notification to my Microsoft Authenticator mobile app and authenticate the access. I get the popup for each account I have.

This happened when i installed v115 over the previous version. I still get the authentication popups after deleting my profile and re-entering my accounts from scratch.

All of my outlook.com accounts are passwordless and no longer have an app password associated with them.

Right then, about a week ago Thunderbird updated from 115.2.2 to 115.2.3.

I use TB to manage my Gmail, Hotmail and business emails. Has worked well, until this new update.

I began immediately receiving a pop-up regarding my Hotmail account. Sometimes the pop-up flashes for a few seconds, other times it stays on the screen.

https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access&login_hint=XXXX%40hotmail.com

• The XXXX is my email name removed.

The pop-up is mostly blank except for a text box at the very top with a long string of characters. Above that it states, 'Enter credentials for XXXX@hotmail.com at Outlook.Office365.com'. I can't figure out if it wants me to enter the string of characters somewhere on Outlook or if I am supposed to copy something from Outlook and paste it into the text box. Moreover, I cannot seem to find anything online to assist.

The problem is emails from Outlook are not downloading to TB. My last downloaded email was on 11.09.23 and there are new messages in my Outlook.

Ideas?

Hi,

I updated Thunderbird to the latest 115 version this morning, and a strange microsoftonline.com authentication pop up has been showing up since then every time Thunderbird checks if there's new email from hotmail.com. How do I get rid of this pop up window?

Thanks, Tang

I'm a *long-time* TB user and have recently upgraded to 115.0 (BuildID: 20230711125218) on Linux (Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). I have multiple accounts configured to use the unified folders inbox. When in that unified inbox, if I delete an email, it stays in the message list instead of disappearing, although the focus changes (the message entry line was highlighted in blue background with white text, and is now in black text on a gray background). The message pane shows the next message as it should. If i click on the message list entry line for the deleted email, nothing happens in the message pane (it still shows the next email), although the focus does come back to the message list entry line. This does not appear to happen when I am in the inboxes of my individual email accounts, but only happens in the unified folder. When I return to the unified folder inbox from the individual account inbox, the deleted message is gone. Thanks for any help.

Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection: STARTTLS Authentication: OAuth2

A browser looking window opens up with a long URL in it (https://login.microsoftonline.com/common/oauth2/v2.0/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3A%2F%2Foutlook.office365.com%2FSMTP.Send+offline_access&login_hint=xxxxxxxx%40hotmail.com) the windows is just blank and the dialog box for sending opens. The browser window shuts and the sending dialog box just sits there.

It ends up timing out saying it can't connect to the smtp server. I cannot send any e-mails at all. Please help or advise. Thank you!
