Hi,

I'm trying to add another account to my Thunderbird client (already have 2, a IMAP account, and a Hotmail/Live/Outlook), but i keep getting the error "Exchange auth error" and no possible way to manually configure the server or anything, despite the mail server not being an exchange server. Following this, it just freezes the view, although i can close the popup by pressing escape.

is this a bug in the most current version of Thunderbird, or am i doing something wrong?

I am currently using Thunderbird v 140.3.0esr.

I had recently started getting a pop up message for my yahoo a/c. The message goes ' Enter credentials for email on imap.mail.yahoo.com' and below it was a message 'too many attempts' it does not let me enter any information. If I copy the address in the message header into a browser it only brings me back to the pop up. It only pops up for this particular email account and not for any other ones installed.

I have tried changing the password through settings which hasn't made any difference. I can go into my account through a web browser which does not show any problems with external accounts.

I tried deleting the whole account line in password manager but this had again made no difference and I still got the pop up. I then deleted the whole account to re-install it again but it is failing to re-install as it gets stuck looking for the configuration settings and goes no further.

I have tried re-installing off line and it immediately finds the settings but I can't go any further as I need to be on line and to do that I therefore have to cancel the application.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Regards JL

Hi all, I have a client who uses Thunderbird and wants to close his orange.fr email address, but has thousands of emails he needs to be able to continue to refer to / archive. I advised to move all the emails from the IMAP server/inbox folder, to a Local folder in Thunderbird. Having done this, I tried to remove the account, did NOT check the box “Remove Message Data” and (wrongly assumed) there would still be a way for him to see his orange.fr emails in a local folder somewhere, but they all disappeared. I’ve tried to trace the path for the local folder but can’t see a way to see them once the account is removed. Can any suggest the best way to GUARANTEE that he can close his orange.fr email account and still retain his old emails? I’m guessing that if he closes the account but doesn’t remove it from Thunderbird, the account will retain the local folders but will be unable to connect to the orange.fr email address. I suppose that would be a solution but I’m guessing Thunderbird will throw a connection error every time it opens? is there a neater way? We would prefer to avoid trying to export them to another mail client.

Any suggestions / advice greatfully received. I’m just nervous that he doesn’t lose access to his old emails after closing his orange.fr email account. TIA Russ

When I enter the verification code I received over email, it says "Bad request: Something went wrong. Please close this tab and try again."

There's no bad requests in the Network tab under web developer tools.

TBird keeps asking permission to connect to a gmail account I no longer use and is supposed to be deleted by Google. I keep selecting Deny but it continues. I have a new gmail account I've been using for over a month and this just started. I deleted every reference I can find to the old account but all to no avail. Suggestions welcomed.

I have recently updated my PC and I have re-installed Thunderbird. However, Thunderbird will not allow more than 2 GMail accounts to be set-up. I get Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username pr password. It is a gmail account, so the system automatically recognizes it. I have made double and triple sure that the user email and password is correct. I have even made my password smaller to ensure it is not the length of my password that Thunderbird has a problem with. Furthermore I have made sure that the outgoing server label is also unique. Despite all that, I am still unable to add a third Gmail account. Can you please help

I am using Thunderbird 140.0.1 (64-bit) for Windows and with this update there is a new account windows sety up. When adding a new account it only asks me for the email address and when I press continue it I get a blue circle going round and round and no progress. In previous versions I would input the email and password and this would work.

I can't add an account. When I try to add an account, I get an error message: can't access property "cleanup", this[#configVerifier] is undefined The version of Thunderbird is 140.0.1esr (64-bit).
