Hello I need help. When I automatically add an MS work account as Exchange, I can send emails but not receive them. However, when I select IMAP, I can receive emails but not send them (I get a message that logging in to the server using my username failed). My private MS account is configured correctly by default, and everything works fine (at first place).

ver 140.0.1esr x64

Hi all.

Previously, when moving to a new computer (Windows 11) with Thunderbird, I would install a new instance of Thunderbird on the new computer and run it once. This created the default Thunderbird profile in the Profiles directory. I would then copy the contents of the existing Thunderbird profile into the new one. This allowed Thunderbird to be fully operational with all accounts and filters working, requiring no further setup.

In version 140, I have followed the same process. While I do see all of the email accounts, they are not functioning.

Any advice on how to do a migration with Thunderbird 140 version?

The next day I started the computer, started firefox and logged into a website and noticed Firefox password didn't seem to be working. I went to Settings / Privacy/ Security / Passwords and all my passwords were missing . How I get the passwords back

Help!

I'm getting constant pop-up notifications for an event on my Gmail calendar, and I can't dismiss or snooze them. I tried deleting the event via my iPhone calendar, where the event was originally created.

It's driving me crazy. I just switched to Thunderbird from Outlook, and I'm ready to abort mission. I can't use Thunderbird if it is going to send me reminders for orphaned or corrupted calendar events I can't dismiss constantly.

Please help!

Here is the error message:

Error Code: MODIFICATION_FAILED

Status Code: 2,147,500,037, null

Server Replied with 400 If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view.

After Windows crashed, I installed a new system and logged into Firefox using my account. But all my history, passwords, bookmarks were erased. I also went to my phone and everything was gone. I didn't erase anything myself. Is there any way to restore the previous state of the account? Are there any backups on the Firefox Sync server?

I have visual issues and cannot read thin text. I am trying to set up a Windows machine where it defaults to thin text. Yes, both Windows and Thunderbird allow users to increase font size and scaling, but I don't have enough screen size. It's much more helpful to increase font weight, and only somewhat increase some font sizes.

I already have /* Global UI font */

• { font-family: Andika !important; }
• { font-size: 12pt !important; }
• {font-weight: bolder !important;}

Which makes the message list good and bold, and

1. threadTree tr[data-properties~="unread"] {

color: red !important; }

Which distinguishes unread messages.

But for whatever reason, the fix doesn't extend to the messages or the settings page.

I have a windows 11 desktop and Thunderbird 140.0.1 (64-bit) loaded. I have two email accounts. One is an AOL account and works perfectly on Thunderbird. The second account is Gmail which was working fine but at the end of May it stopped working on Thunderbird, usually with a timeout error message. I ended up deleting the account and tried to add it back into Thunderbird. When I try it won't add it. Thunderbird spends 3-4 minutes checking password and then gives me an error message that the configuration, password, or email must be wrong (see picture). But the email and password are correct and work every day. The configuration is IMAP, SSL and has the correct goggle addresses and ports. I have tried both OAuth2 and Normal password but still get the same issue. I have deleted the Gmail saved passwords, will allow cookies and my Gmail account allows IMAP. Help Please!

My copy of Thunderbird seems to be suffering from an email hijacking problem that seems to have be creating message reception delays. Has anyone else happened to have that problem or knows how to get rid of it?

I had to do an OS reset on my Dell Inspiron 17 3000. This deleted all my data files. A computer repair shop used Recuvr to recover my lost data. All of the recovered files (not just the Firefox files) are in a single folder on my desktop. I would like to know how to import them to the newly installed Firefox. Thank you very much.

Hi, I am having trouble with multiple logins being saved on site login pages. Where I have entered the wrong email, I can find these in passwords and delete them, no problem.

The way logins are saved in other cases is inconsistent. For example, some sites are saving the same login with multiple dates - why? These are not available in saved passwords to delete. This doesn't happen on every site and needs to be disabled. Other sites are saving logins for other unrelated pages. I have one page that gives me a dropdown for login to three other sites. These sites are not linked or associated with each other in any way and again, can't be found in password to delete.

The only advice I have found is to use the down arrow to select the login and press delete but this does not work anywhere. I have deleted history, disabled fill usernames and passwords automatically. History, cookies and data is set to clear every time Firefox is closed.

Driving me nuts...........................

For years, Firefox has been my default browser, but I am at wits end with Firefox not working with SO MANY websites.

Usually, it just hangs up and doesn't connect, or it gets stuck on one page and will not advance to the next. At this point, I'm ready to demote Firefox and my Chrome my default browser. In fact, I'm sending this message from the website opened in Chrome because it would not open in Firefox.

I'm using a Mac mini running MacOS Sequoia 15.5, but this has been happing with all of the last versions of MacOS.

As I said, it's been years, but I no longer have the patience to deal with Firefox. I wish Mozilla could fix it, but it doesn't seem likely after all this time.

For some time I have been having problems with moving or copying messages between folders in TB - I am on the esr channel and have just moved from 128.12 to 140.1 but nothing changed until I saw in a post on this forum that repairing the folder could make a difference. I have tried the repair folder option and it mostly works but not always - for example I couldn't copy or move messages from a sub-folder on one email account to a sub-sub-folder on another. It finally worked when I moved the messages to the folder above the one I wanted, and then moved them down, which was very time-consuming. And now it is once more refusing to copy a single message to a folder on another account.

Something that may not be helping is the fact that I am trying to copy messages to a new account, which has weirdly placed itself right at the bottom of the navigation list, below Local Folders and a news-server.

All the messages seem present and correct on my mailserver, where the recalcitrant folder is neatly in its alphabetical order.

Does TB just get bored? Does its memory clog up? Should I clear 'recent history' (whatever that is?)

Hoping someone can shed some light on what has been a very frustrating process of trial and error.

And PS when will we see 'Manually Move Folders' in the esr channel? I am now on 140 and thought that would have it...

As per the subject - all of a sudden in my replies, I see machine language above the text of the original email I am replying to?

I have checked and unchecked Message Body options - but the machine language remains in the reply.

That machine language is not seen by the reply recipient, but is distracting to me as I type that reply above the original message

Note too that my reply is in 'normal' text above the machine language of the original message - so I can send normally

Just got a mac mini 4. during setup/install, which was done with Time Machine, I changed the name of my home folder and computer to reflect the new mac mini. Now firefox won't load any websites, new or ones I already had open. Where do I go to make changes in firefox to indicate the new names? Thanks in advance for any help. Allan

I can open Firefox but ...

If the site opens it has limited functionality.

For example: Yahoo finance opens. The home page seems mostly functional but when I open mail it opens to priority and thin when I try to access "all" it won't work.

Another example: I can open my Barchart account but when I try ton lode my portfolios they will not. Just get the spinning wheel.

Tried a bank account. Website downloaded but when I put the username and password in it wouldn't load just got the endless spinning wheel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
