We had 3 e-mail accounts in Thunderbird with the domain name sbcglobal.net. We've had these for years. They stopped working about a month ago. We can't install these in Thunderbird. It hangs up when in comes to check the password. The password is exactly the same as the one at AT&T. We love using Thunderbird because all e-mails are in one place. Hope you can help.

Also, I get an error message whenever I try to send an email, saying it could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server secure219.inmotionhosting.com failed. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator. I don't think the problem is with inmotionhosting because my husband can send email from his computer. I suspect the problem is with my Thunderbird setup.

I have a question. I have different address books for different groups. I have Friends, Members and Executive Committee. I have some members that need to be in both. I know I can just add them in each address book but I do have other address books and this is just a example. Is there anything in the Config Editor to add each person to different address books in the users profile? Thank you very much for your help.

How do I filter and search for dates in an MBOX on Thunderbird? The search seems to only go through email accounts and not Local MBOX files.

FYI I am using the extension ImportExportTools NG to open the MBOX file. And this picture shows that I can Sort by Date, either newest or oldest first but that's not what I want. I want to filter to a specific range between 2 dates or search for all emails from a specific date. How I can do this?

I have 3 calendars in my Lightning calendar interface. Two are stored locally, one is labeled "Home", the other is "Recurring". I also have a Google calendar named "Shared". I can create and save events into any of these calendars and I can move events between calendars using the context-click "Edit". But if I receive an invite in email, when I accept it I am offered only the choice of "Home" and "Recurring". I cannot save it to "Shared". When I open the event, I am not offered a choice of calendar. I believe in the past I could accept invites into the "Shared" google calendar, but I might be wrong about that.

On some sites, some Chinese characters will display as completely blank. It's only some characters, and it's only on some sites. I know one would be inclined to say the site just doesn't have correct settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case because this issue only appears on Firefox (Chrome doesn't have this issue for the same sites). (Sometimes even on the same site it will be inconsistent whether it displays... Like the Google search results will display Chinese fine, but the text typed into search bar itself will display incorrectly.) The font it displays in also appears to be inconsistent, but I don't mind that as much.

I've tried changing the default font to both Microsoft YaHei and SimSun - neither changed anything regarding my problem.

I've seen other people with similar problems be recommended to figure out what fonts are being used via inspect element, but I haven't found any example providing what exactly you're to do after you've found that information out. However, if it helps, I did that and found out the fonts being used were MS Gothic, SimSun, and Yu Gothic, though I don't know which one is causing which issue, or what I'd do about it even if I did know.

Here's an image as an example - as you can see, some characters are fine, some display in a different font than the others, and some don't display at all. I would very much appreciate advice on what to do from here.

iCloud has stopped signing in on the Firefox browser for Windows. I contacted Apple Support and they told me that this is an issue on Firefox's part, and told me to try signing in the next morning and they guarantee it'll work. It did not. In fact, it has been over a week, and it still does not work.

When I enter my Apple ID and Password, the website gives me an error "Failed to verify your identity. Try again." The website does NOT send me to the 2fa screen, yet it still sends a 2fa code to my iPad nonetheless.

As Apple has said this is an issue on Firefox's part, I am posting this here. Attached is a screenshot of the error.

Firefox is used on Windows 11 Enterprise. There is a firefox.cfg in the installation directory (and an autoconfig.js in the ./defaults/pref sub-directory). Everything works fine when a pref(...); entry is written to the firefox.cfg. However, we want the firefox.cfg to call the pref(...); entries from a global_config.js which is saved on the machines public directory.

Therefore, the firefox.cfg says:

// free line lockPref("autoadmin.global_config_url","file:///C:/Users/Public/.../global_config.js");

But firefox does not load whatever prefs are written to the global_config.js. There probably is problems with the formatting of the file path (file:///C:/Users/Public/.../global_config.js). What would the correct formatting look like? Unfortunately, Mozilla´s support guide only includes an example code for a firefox.cfg which calls a global_config.js via http:, but not via file:.
