Hi, I've received the email below from Microsoft today.

I have 15 email accounts linked to Thunderbird mail and use up to 5 of them daily. Sometimes 'instant' communications on one or more of my accounts can be important.

Will Thunderbird mail still function in the same way from 16th September?

I apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else. I searched but could not find it.

"The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods."

Any help to fix this would be much appreciated

I have tried restarting both firefox and my computer, disabled all extensions and started firefox in safe mode. When I try to right click on a firefox window from the taskbar it just disappears.

I have my computer connected to my TV so often when I open it up some windows will be on my TV which is behind my desk so its a pain to move them back without this function.

When I reply with Thunderbird to an email from the IO list (of which I'm a member), the name of the individual sender of the email appears in the TO: field. How do get T-Bird to put in the LIST name? Thanks.

Hi, I recently updated T-bird to 128.1 and find it no longer allows my address book contacts to be exported to my Windows pc desktop in .csv format. It only allows 'import' from my pc desktop. Could you please check on this latest upgrade and advise how I might be able to do this on this 128.1 version? Thanks much, Reba C

Clicked on a link provided by Windows 11 where Windows was trying to send me to the Microsoft Store. Got this error:

Your PC doesn't have an app that can open this link. Try looking for a compatible app in the Microsoft Store.

Firefox is installed and and the default browser. Don't have any idea why or what to do. Can someone help?

TBird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) and Windows 11

Using Tbird with an imap server and gmail email, calendar and contacts.

Not having any problems with email or the calendar but contacts do not seem to be synching. I have only just noticed this and it appears to be since the Nebula 128 update

I tried Add CardDAV Address book but I get the following the "All address books for the specified account have already been added" message. (Screen capture attached.)

I have seen some responses that imply it should all be automatic. What am I missing?

Thanks all

Good morning, On 20/07 I noticed that Thunderbird duplicated all the defects. The option to remove duplicates does not work - no duplicates found. How can I fix this?

Hello. How can I post HTML code snippets in support.mozilla.org questions ? All HTML code is rendered and none of the usual markdown (``` etc.) works.

When I double click on the star next to a senders name in the header area to add them to my address book it pops up a small "Edit Contact" window. I select the address book I want the new address to go into and click "Edit Details". I enter the relevant info and click "OK". The new addresses always go into my Personal Addresses book instead of the book I selected in the original "Edit Contact" window. This is in Thunderbird 24.4.0. Tried it on 2 different PC's with the same result. One machine is Windows XP, the other is Windows 7. Any ideas?
