I am trying to convert from Chrome to Firefox. Everything is going well with my main account, but on my school account, I can't receive emails from out of my school district. Is there any way that I can make an account without email verification?

I just swapped to a new PC and logged into my Firefox account but it keeps disconnecting me and says account is disconnected and I need to re login to connect. I re login and the issue continues again and again. Any ideas?

I have a new computer and I want to transfer everything in Thunderbird on my old computer to my new one. I did an export, transferred the zip file to the new computer and imported it. All my email accounts showed up which was great. However when I go to my calendar none of the events are shown. Both computers are running Linux. Aren't calendar events exported too?

Thunderbird updated today to 128.2.3esr and suddenly I have to log in to my Google account, which doesn't work: I get an 404 error when I try to set up my account (which has been working flawlessly for months). I'm on Windows 11.

I have 3 e-mail accounts and the third one I added is the one I set as default. For some reason the first two show together in the unified folder, but the third is separate on it's own. How do I get all three in the unified folder?

Please 🙏 I am tired of the same thing nothing changes I will get control over my podcast and Cash app pay pal and they take it right back I truly know who's doing this where do I start

I have been unable to sign in to google accounts on 3rd party websites for a while now. I'm using firefox develloper edition. i do not have this issue with normal firefox

every time i try to sign in i get redirected to https://support.google.com/accounts/a.../32050?hl=en

Heres some of the things i tried:

• Clear cache and cookies
• "repair" Firefox from the uninstaller
• Reinstall Firefox

To be honest it is quite a bit annoying and i cannot find a solution thanks in advance for any help

Hi, When installing my Yahoo account in F-bird, I chose the option to keep copies of the messages on the server when downloading them to my local folders. But all my message folders on the yahoo server appear to be empty after I copied them to my local folders. Can this be undone? I'm using other email programs on my mobiles and it's crucial for me that I can access all my folders from mobile and desktop devices. Is there a way to keep them on the yahoo server AND have them synchronized with my local folders? Your help is very much appreciated! Kind regards, Pat

Problem: newly added account disappears when TB is closed. Thunderbird on this PC (Dell Latitude 6540) has held a Verizon account for years. The "new" account is a different, equally old Verizon account kept on TB in an identical PC I no longer use. When added to TB on the present PC it tests and works fine until TB is closed. Repeated numerous times. Having read thread # 1286437 I did what follows , to no avail: 1. tried TB in troubleshoot mode; 2. tried in Windows safe mode; 3. cleared startup cache; 4. drastically pruned old emails; 5. looked up profile folder under troubleshooting info. Folder qxxxxxxd ( size 1.18 GB before adding new account) holds one folder tree, one directory tree, but NO prefs.js file. Instead, twenty-two prefs-xx.js files from 1 to 22; removed all to a thumb drive except prefs-1.js which I dared not rename as prefs.js; 6. found two profile folders, both labeled default. One is the above holding 1.18 GB, the other holds 685 MB (probably harmless and related to an old university account no longer extant). I copied both profile folders to a thumb drive. Note: profile folder qxxxxxxd is clearly engaged in what I am attempting. When TB is open with the added new account working -- which is the case as I am writing --, profile folder size increases from 1.18 to 1.20 GB and the number of folders increases by one (under "Mail" the list of pop.verizon-xx.net sub-folders increases from 17 to 18). Please advise on what to do next; I am 86 and no software geek, but can follow instructions... Thanks --Paul

My live.com accounts are no longer syncing as of 10/01/24. I tried changing the authenication method to 0auth2 as suggested and restarted my computer. Now instead of getting the notice that my password for my live accounts in incorrect, I get a message from thunderbird saying "The IMAP server imap-mail.outlook.com does not support the selected authentication method. How can I fix this? I tried changing my passwords to these 2 accounts and reentereing into thunderbird but to no avail.

Earlier I logged in to Firefox to pose a question. Checking email, I had a notice from Mozilla that my account was used to sign in: Firefox on Windows 10 / United States (estimated) / Thursday, Oct 23, 2025.

Does Firefox think I'm using Win 10??? I checked my computer and it verifies that I am running Win 11 with all updates.

Call me confused. Or is this a non-issue? I ask because I'm trying to get into a member website and after I login, it takes me to a page that is for new signers ... not an existing member. Has happened several times.

Thanks,

Ron

Is there a way to preempt the initial download when connecting an IMAP account initially?

Presuming you plan to make "Keep messages in all folders for this account..." UNchecked, I've found I can only go into settings as soon as possible after connecting the IMAP account to cut off the automatic start of downloads for local email copies. I then search for the email files locally (am configured for maildir) and manually delete.

Not the end of the world, but seems a bit janky. Is there a way you're supposed to be able to set synchronization settings BEFORE Tb starts syncing?

Thanks.
