So, recently my keys expired, and I extended the expiry data via Kleopatra, a nice interface that comes with the GPG4Win suite - and I exported those keys out to the keys.openpgp.org keyservers. When I search for those keys at openpgp.org, they have the proper, updated expiry dates - and they show as that in Kleopatra - but when I see those keys (and all the exact same imported third-party public keys I've pulled into Kleopatra), they have the old expiry dates, and I cannot sign or encrypt emails. It's quite annoying.

What gives?

Also, what keyserver does Thunderbird use?!?

as of Jan 2 2024 all mail goes to spam/junk. windows 10, TB version 115.6.0 (64bit) using IMAP. as long as my laptop is not on the network mail is in the in box (looking at it on my phone through K-9) No filtering is done at the server. reset training data as soon as my laptop comes on thunderbird moves mail to spam. Junk, move messages in not checked, set as read is not marked at the account level enable adaptive is not checked.

-=-

system was restared. This did stop the mail being marked as junk, but it still moves the messages.

Not sure where else to look!!! now I have to view all new messages in the spam folder.

I have noticed that if I use File>Empty Trash with TB 102.0, the Trash folder initially appears to be empty. However, if I close Thunderbird and open it again, the messages I thought I had deleted still appear in the Trash folder. In order to empty the Trash folder, I have to open the Trash folder and delete each message to avoid this problem.

Hello,

Recently, I started getting "Add Security Exception" on two computers accessing the same email account CALDAV calendar and contacts. The location shown is "mail.purplepapyrus.com:2080" and cites an outdated certificate. If you remove the port :2080 and request to get the certificate, it finds an up to date certification. It will not add an exception either through this window, or via the certificate manager. I have removed all CALDAV calendar and contacts from Thunderbird, removed the old certificate via the manager, and yet it comes back the next time I start Thunderbird. I have completely removed Thunderbird on the one the computers and reinstalled. Still happening. Oh, I should point out I am still sending and receiving emails, just the calendar and contacts that are not syncing/working.

Perplexed!

Hello: Last time before today when I sent email was 23Oct 21! What fixed it was setting the outgoing server settings to "Authentication method: Password transmitted insecurely,and Connection security: none. I got a pop-up asking for my password,and my email was sent normally. My reason for posting this is to ask if this outgoing server setting is safe to use. I haven't tried this solution before,as I am very security conscious. I am attaching a pic of the settings. Thanks!

Hello,

I have been experimenting with OpenPGP and S/MIME to see what fits best for my use case and decided to go with my S/MIME certificate. It works fine, I de-selected the PGP settings and removed the key, but for new emails, it still defaults to selecting PGP for digital signing, etc. Because no key is present it just does nothing. I need to manually click that button and choose S/MIME every time. `

Is there no way to have S/MIME as the default for new messages?

I have attached how the new email window looks by default and my end-to-end encryption settings. I would greatly appreciate any helpful directions on where to change the default. I searched through settings and online but found nothing about this.

Thanks! Paul

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird for years to collect all emails in one place with out issue. In the last few days authentication has started failing. It started on one gmail account prompting for a password. When I enter the password it is rejected. A second GMail account is now doing the same and one of my Yahoo accounts is now doing it too.

I can still access the accounts on my phone using Oauth2.

Nothing I have tried fixes it. I am in danger of losing access to all my of my email accounts on windows.

What is going wrong?

It seems to me something changed recently in Thunderbird that results in my receiving this message instead of being able to download my email:

Sending of password for user dave@dianeanddave.net did not succeed. Mail server mail.dianeanddave.net responded: Authentication failed. My Thunderbird logins are in the first attached png file. My email server is Hostgator and my accounts are shown in the second attached png file.

I can still see my email on Hostgator webmail by logging in to CPanel and choosing the dave@dianeanddave.net account. Using Thunderbird's Troubleshoot Mode provides no further information.

I need the convenience of my Thunderbird access restored.

What should be my next step?

I have installed latest version of Thunderbird and all works as it should but 2 things seem wrong and not sure if bug, incorrect setting or just not allowed:

1 When I send encrypted email to myself it is automatically unencrypted and readable. I would prefer that any encrypted email I receive forces me to enter my private password every time. Can I configure this? 2 I would like to set Tbird to automatically encrypt all emails to an address I have the public key for. however It looks as if I can only set 'encrypt all' or 'don't encrypt' which means I need to manually select for each email or have to set as 'encrypt all' and then get message for almost all recipients that they don't have public key etc.

Advice appreciated.

Just noticed this happening>

I have 3 emails addresses being utilized on my 1 Thunderbird setup.

When I try and send from any address but the original one I set up I get this message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <davet102@roadrunner.com> sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I understand what it is saying. I just do not know where to fix it. I have gone into the outgoing SMTP settings and my original email address is in there. How do I set it up so that the other email addresses can send from their email addresses?

I have Thunderbird set up with two email accounts. Until today I han problems with outgoing or incoming email and had saved passwords. All worked fine. Then I had to change my internet modem and somewhere along the line my incoming password for one of the two email accounts got deleted. No idea how. So I went into Settings and deleted all saved passwords. After that I sent a test email for both accounts and was able to re-save my passwords. But when I "Get Email" for either account, nothing happens. No email arrives (there are new emails on both accounts if I check via webmail). But I also am never prompted to save a password for incoming email (mail.comcast.net) for either account.

Why isn't Thunderbird prompting me to save the incoming password, and how can I manually enter a password? I'm baffled and at wit's end.

Thank you!

I have Thunderbird 115.8.0 installed on my MacBook Pro with two email accounts, Yahoo and Gmail. I have set up the Tools/Message Filters/Block Filters as well. When I first launch Thunderbird all the spam shows up in my inbox, and just sits there. What I have to do is go to Tools/Message Filters at which point I'm asked to select an account. I select Yahoo (my primary account) and then "Run Filters" before anything actually happens. Then if I go back to my inbox, the spam emails start disappearing. It seems that Thunderbird does not remember the "Yahoo" selection in filters in between launches. Is there a setting I am missing, or is this just the product of having two different email accounts? Thank you.

When I started TB 102.5.0 today it prompted me to enter a password for my newsgroup account. I had set up to access mozilla.news.org NNTP items a few years ago and this is the first time I've been prompted to enter a password. I thought they must have made a change requiring us to use the new Firefox account for this but I can't find any way in Account Settings to do this. The option to "Manage Newsgroups" no longer appears on the main TB page and clicking on Account Settings for my Mozilla News configuration does not show any option to specify a password. I see options setting up a new NEWSGROUP account. A search found a few folks talking about this but they mentioned clicking the now missing "manage newsgroups".

Is mozilla.news.org still supported?

I am trying to set up the calendar in Thunderbird for my mother. She uses a google calendar and it is working fine on the old computer.

However, on the new one, it lets me get as far as trying to select a calendar to subscribe to be the list is blank.

In trying to troubleshoot, I tried setting up my own calendar on a different computer and the same is happening.

Mother's is a Windows 11 and mine is a Windows 10.

In troubleshooting I came across a post that suggested that I open the dev console and by golly there is an error there.

The same error appears on both accounts/computers. [Exception... " �invalid_request��� You can't sign in to this app because it doesn't comply with Google's OAuth 2.0 policy for keeping apps secure.

Where is/how do you set the calendar to use OAuth 2.0?

Email works fine is already set to OAuth 2. The calendar on the old computer works fine. Before the "choose account" window opens, it does seem that google trys to open a pop-up to enter the password, but the window closes and the "choose calendar" window that is blank open. Is this a bug? Can it be fixed?

I have three accounts with sign/encrypt certificates. Prior to the update just now, they worked fine, and have for several years. Now after the update, when I try to send an email I get an error message: Sending of the message failed. Unable to sign message. Please check that the certificates specified in Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings for this mail account are valid and trusted for mail.

I get these messages in all three accounts with certificates. I checked the settings, and the certificates are correct.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

When I try to send an e-mail I get a message that says that the client host rejected it and tells me to enable SSL in my client. This just began today (June 30). However my Thunderbird settings indicate that my connection security is SSL/TLS. What more do I need to do to enable SSL and be able again to send e-mails? My e-mail provider is frontier.com

After a Windows 10 update, I find my pop3 server password has disappeared and I can no longer download e-mail to Thunderbird. I can't see any way to restore it. I can still send mail as the smtp password is present. All other settings seem OK. I can access my mail through the browser, but I want Thunderbird to download the messages.

This is an ongoing problem and it has been around for years. I know it existed in 102 and also now in 115. That is that despite the Junk Settings being set to "Delete them" under the checked statement "When I mark messages as junk", they do not ever get deleted. I have to manually delete items marked as junk, which is mostly accurate. So in my inbox, I just see a multitude of items marked as junk each morning until I re-sort by junk status instead of date and then easily delete them and then go back to sort by date.

Google has disabled POP access in Thunderbird. Specifically they have removed the option to allow "Less Secure Apps" from downloading emails using POP access. They define "Less Secure" as apps requiring only a username and password. Currently (as of June 2022) Thunderbird can not download Gmail emails using POP.

Just FYI I will gladly give up Gmail and keep Thunderbird. I believe the only workaround is to have Gmail forward all emails to another, more friendly, email provider until I am able to convert all my contacts.

Thanks!

I want to connect one of my Gmail account using OAuth2 and I face a blank page after accessing the Google connection page and entering my email address. It only happens on this account.

I have no issues to connect other Gmail accounts, and I tested 4 of them. Is there a way to know where does the issue come from and/or how to solve this? I already applied everything advised in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20, to no avail.
