I received an email saying that I had to sign in in order to keep my account. I did not click on the link provided since I thought it might be a scam. Was this a valid email? If so, is signing in now meet the requirement to keep my account?

I am using MacOS 10.13, Thunderbird 115.15.16ESR: my Hotmail worked until 15 May 2025 and then it would not download new emails. Screenshots are available if you want me to post them. I got an error message: "authentication failure while connecting to server outlook.office365.com". I updated Thunderbird to the latest for my OS: 115.18.0ESR. Still no new emails. I deleted my email account on Thunderbird and tried to reinstate it. Now I get an error message when trying to set up the account: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I tested my password by logging into my Microsoft account with it on my browser. I can also login to my email using Firefox, but I want my Thunderbird email client to work again.

The configuration I am using is: I use my normal hotmail password in the password field. I also set up a new App Password with Microsoft and tried that without success. With the 115.18 update there is a new field: Your login. I just put my hotmail email address in here. incoming: outlook.office365.com, port 993, SSL/TLS, Oauth2 
outgoing: smtp.office365.com, port 587, STARTTLS, Oauth2 (I have also tried: smtp-mail.outlook.com)

I enabled 2-step authentication with Microsoft in my Microsoft account more than a year ago. Interestingly, I don't get a prompt on my iPhone Microsoft Authentication App when I select Done when trying to set up the hotmail account on Thunderbird.

Please help. I am desperate, and I have wasted a lot of time on this without success. Cheers

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.

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

At some stage, one of my Imap Inbox email accounts & its sub-folder have moved to the bottom of the list - under all other folders (Sent/Junk, etc). The Sent sub-folders for this email account are in the correct place. I have tried all solutions that I have found: Subscribing; unchecking only show subscribed; playing with the settings on the webmail server, reinstalling, etc & I still can't get it back to the top, where it's supposed to be. I have attached a screenshot as it was & how it now is (worse) after updating my OS to the latest. Does anybody have a solution for this scenario?

Problem:

You remove an account like Google from Thunderbird, but Thunderbird continues to repeatedly show a pop-up to log into that account (in my case Google). I've noticed it even freezes the Thunderbird UI on startup.

I have two computers on which I use Thunderbird. I have never been able to successfully copy my email filters from one machine to the other, no matter what method I employ. It seems that this should be at least part and parcel of copying my profile to the new computer, but I find I have to rewrite the filters yet again. Please assist.

Certainly! Here's the English version of the message, clearly and professionally written for reporting an issue with Smart DM in ManyChat:

📩 Smart DM Issue Report – ManyChat

Hello, I hope you're doing well.

I'm currently experiencing an issue with the Smart Direct Message (Smart DM) feature in ManyChat.

Issue Description:

Direct messages sent via flows are not being delivered to some users, or they are significantly delayed.

In some cases, the message status shows as “Sent”, but the recipient never receives the message.

All flows and Instagram integration settings have been correctly configured, yet the issue persists.

Troubleshooting steps already taken:

Verified Instagram and Facebook Page connections

Confirmed that necessary permissions for messaging are enabled

Checked flow logic and timing settings

Ensured account has not exceeded messaging limits or violated policies

Since Smart DM is a key part of our user engagement strategy, I would greatly appreciate any help or insight into what might be causing this issue — whether it’s related to account limitations, platform bugs, or API constraints.

Looking forward to your support.

Thank you,

I'm setting up a gmail workspace account. I know that imap is enabled and that authentication should work through oauth2. That's what I configure and TB confirms that it can connect to the account during creation widget.

I click continue, and a new window opens which contains a site from Google asking if I confirm that TB can access my account. I click on allow, and the content in that popup disappears, but the popup remains open. Just with a blank screen.

I've tried several times. Cookies and JavaScript are allowed and enabled.

What else could be wrong here?

Dear LinkedIn Team,

I hope this message finds you well. My LinkedIn account, which holds a significant number of connections and followers, has been unexpectedly restricted. Unfortunately, I’m currently unable to log in and verify my identity due to challenges with OTP delivery and account access.

This situation is impacting my business activities and professional engagement on the platform. I would be truly grateful for your prompt assistance in helping me resolve this issue and regain access to my account.

Thank you for your support.

Warm regards, Abdi
