Hello, For many years I have used Thunderbird, but since update to v148, I have recieved an "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.aol.com" + "connection to server pop.gmail.com timed out". All the passwords, imap in & out settings are correct, the antivirus/firewall is not blocking. The AOL page pops up for access but does not accept the passwords. I have as of now lost all my emails. I appreciate the security improvements which, sadly, are necessary, but will there be an update to correct this soon.

I am trying to re-install Thunderbird on my wife's old Gateway desktop. I downloaded version 115.18.0 and tried to install it, but get a message saying it can't be installed because my OS is 32 bit. I thought the SuperNova would work for both 64 and 32 bit OS platforms. (It does work on my Toshiba laptop, which is a 64 bit Win 7 machine.) If this version of Thunderbird will not work, what about the last version that will. It was installed years ago. Thanks, Peter

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead
Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to na.nikken.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
What can you do about it?
Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself.
The site is ok when I open on another window and even on Google which I don't like.

I have current TBird in use but it is configured for use only on present PC (employer restriction). Is it possible to set Tbird to automatically forward all incoming emails to its inbox to a new account on gmail (not yet created, for temporary use on a laptop while I am in other countries) ? Really value all advice you can give me. I'm not a computer wizard!

Greetings,
For some reason, my TB client has a conflict with my ISP provider with TB and my personal Yahoo account. When I try to authenticate my personal Yahoo account, the authentication box pops up in TB, but it points to my ISP Yahoo account with the login instead of my private Yahoo account login. I have deleted my ISP Yahoo account. Everything was fine last year; now, today, I can't authenticate my private Yahoo account in the Authentication box (screenshot below). It's not giving my personal Yahoo account security. It's giving my ISP provider login, it's Rogers.
Any clues as to why?
Regards, Marko

So I have a couple of accounts that do this and not on others (Same domain and server) When the messages come through they are doubled like they are on a thread, but the same exact message. All settings in Thunderbird and the server email config are the same for all addresses,. I have three out of ten that do this for some odd reason.

I received this message: Unable to connect
The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

When I click on an e-edition link for a newspaper in gmail, the link doesn't direct to the correct site in Firefox. When I use Safari, and click on the e-edition link for the newspaper, the link works as it should and goes to the correct page. I would like to have the link work on the Firefox browser. Any suggestions. I think there might be some sort of security thing/action which is misdirecitng the link. In the past, this problem happened with other sites.
Thank you,

Can get(POP3), but can not send emails to a newly created personal outlook.com account.
the following error occurs when trying to send mail: Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) . Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)
all my setting are correct per thunderbird and microsoft:
(smtp-mail.outlook.com, port 587, STARTTLS, OAUTH2, xxxxx@outlook.com)
thunderbird error log file contains the following: . . . mailnews.smtp: S: 535 5.7.139 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Mailbox. Visit https://aka.ms/smtp_auth_disabled for more information. [CH5P220CA0005.NAMP220.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM 2026-02-28T23:29:21.878Z 08DE7703D4D1982A]

Based on my understanding its seems thunderbird is using SMTP AUTH instead of OAUTH2 as required for newer personal outlook.com accounts. Is my assessment correct? If so, is there a fix?

All of a sudden (after a recent update I suppose) every time I start to type anything in the "search" in the middle of my "home" screen, the curser jumps to the address space in the toolbar. I hate that! I want to continue to use search in the middle of the screen as I have for years since I started using browsers. I've tried looking at the setting for "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.improvesearch.handoffToAwesomebar" and it is set to "false" as was recommended in another post some years ago. What do I have to do to revert back to the way it was before this change was forced on me?
