Mt T/B was working ok, then for no apparent reason I can not get my emails nor sent them. It tells me to go to configuration settings. When I get to settings and look for passwords. and view passwords, my main email address is not there; others are, along with their passwords

meine abgespeicherten passwörter werden bei jedem neuen windows-update gelöscht. in firefox wie auch in thunderbird. ich muss dann beim senden sowie beim empfangen in thunderbird die passwörter für alle email-accounts neu eingeben und abspeichern. dann funktioniert es einwandfrei bis zum nächsten windows-update. das geht bereits seit c. 3 monaten so. davor wurden die passwörter bei den updates nie gelöscht. was ist passiert?

I have been setting up a PC with Thunderbird for my mother. I want to move her off a "Messaging Company" email to an Outlook email address. Currently I have 3 email accounts on her PC: - Messaging Company - Outlook - Gmail (loaded for testing and because she has an Android phone) Messaging Company and Gmail seem to behave just fine, both for sending and receiving. Outlook seems to work fine for receiving email. For sending, it works when I clear the credentials and set them up again. This only seems to last for a while, and it's as if Thunderbird forgets the SEND credentials. I'm not sure if this is after a reboot or some other cause. I have walked through all of the relevant advice on OAuth2, STARTTLS, etc. I don't think it is a configuration issue at this level because I can send for a while. It seems to be something to do with retaining the credentials. Any help would be appreciated - if I can't get this going, then I may have to move here to the Gmail account but I have my own reasons for wanting to use Outlook.

Hello there,

With one of the email addresses I am montoring on Thunderbird I experience an unusual difficulty.

There are times, I get to see a pop-up window that the login failed, and being prompted to enter the password again.

I've learned that in those instances I need to remove the password from the password list in thunderbird, restart my laptop, and in opening the thunderbird dashboard re-enter the password, and then it's fixed.

Today, however I keep repeating this procedure time and time again, but this time it doesn't fix the issue, and this pop-up message keeps popping up, each time enter the new password.

Is there anyone who can help me resolve this issue ? ...

That would be great, because since the login fails, I am unable to receive any incoming mails of, nor send any from that account in thunderbird.

Kind regards, Christiaano

I cannot get passwords to automatically saved ever since I tried to install 1Password. I also use Apple Passwords. Now nothing works, even though I stopped using 1Password and Apple passwords.

hi, i'm trying to view my saved passwords as i used to be able to but now it asks for a sign in! user name and password! i don't know what this refers to as i never had to sign in to view passwords. i need to get them for a new computer i just bought! i need those passwords. please help! thanks for your consideration. peace, James Glynn

For the past several months the saved passwords, for my Comcast account, have had to be reset. When viewed the password vault still shows the old but correct password. It happens after a restart required for a Windows Update. I put in a dummy password, reboot, put the original password, reboot and I'm back and working as it was in the past.

Isn't password manager suppose to save the password until changed or deleted? It had in the past!

At some point, I was issued Auto-generated passwords, but they were not saved even though I believe I have things set up to do so. Other passwords are also not saved. I cannot update my 2015 Mac's OS above Monterrey. Please advise.

Thunderbird is regularly (at least once a week at random times) forgetting all my passwords. I have tried all the suggestions I can find (deleting various system files etc) and nothing changes. The passwords work for several days, but eventually when I start Thunderbird it has lost all my passwords. This is something that started about two or three months ago; before that, I never had a problem.

P.S. Yes, I select "use password manager" (or whatever it's called) every time I have to put in the passwords.

I have 3 email accounts which i unified. when log in I get prompted to enter password for all three accounts which I do, then I get prompted again to enter the password to all Password Manager to save my passwords which I do not want and therefore I uncheck it for all three; I then get prompted again for all three which I enter password, then I get imap login error on my main account which I click cancel a few times before it goes away,

I use Thunderbird portable. How do I fix this issue. it should be that one enters the password for each account once not three to four times. I do not want to use Password Manager to Save my accounts.

Also if ever I have to change password how do I do that? thank for your help.

I have the portable version, download from portable apps website.

Since changing my gmail accounts settings in thunderbird under Synchronization and storage so as not to store a local copy of emails. Thunderbird, after a while, is no longer able to authenticate to imap.gmail.com. If i delete the associated oauth2 saved passwords, restart and regrant access. Thunderbird is ok for a couple of hours but then fails again later. Thunderbird ran fine for a couple of days before i changed the synchronization settings.

Any ideas on how to eliminate this annoyance?
