New computer setup. Fresh install of windows 10 and the latest TB.

Turning primary password on like I always have, its now telling me I need to use my windows password as my primary. Who really sat down and thought this through and thought this was a good idea and then coded it into the platform? How do I use whatever password I want and get rid of this asinine default behavior.

Hi TB community. Recently the company my website sat on, got sold. Since then I am receiving emails, but cannot send them. I think my passwords in Thunderbird and the SMTP no longer match and this is the problem (see attached message). But I'm no techy, so I can't be sure I'm right. Any advice you can offer will be great!!!

Trying to set up My outlook email account in Thunderbird. Enter the correct info (User and password) and get incorrect password when I am 1000% sure I am entering the correct password but because there is no way to make any manual changes because Mozilla thinks they have everything set correctly, when they don't, I can't add the account. The manual evidently only works if the password is correct?? I can set the account up obviously in Outlook both on PC and both Outlook and Mail app on the IPhone using the same password but not Thunderbird??

You have already solved my problem. I followed the menu to my accounts and while it showed me how to see the passwords it did not tell me how to edit them which was when I searched how to edit passwords Thunderbird explained how I had to hold control and click on the account and as shown the menu appeared. After that I hit the thumbs up and then was sent to this page after I signed into my mozzilla account and asked me ask a question but as I said you have already solved my problem. Thanks for the help

Thunderbird not saving hotmail/outlook logins (keeps spamming all the time)

Hi. so microsoft has been SPAMMING and THREATENING me for months now that soon i won't be able to use microsoft accounts with "old" login. i guess they refer to app passwords. i just now updated thunderbird and it automatically changed all microsoft accounts to oauth2 and then it pops up a new window asking me to login.

so first time i logged into all of my microsoft accounts via thunderbird's pop-up window, it asked on every account if i want to allow thunderbird to do this and that, i clicked ALLOW. all seemed good, but then i restarted thunderbird and then it asked me to login AGAIN for all microsoft accounts. i manage over 20 accounts and this is seriously frikking annoying logging into all of them all the time. i have 2-way auth enabled with codes, so i have to keep copy-pasting those codes aswell.

why doesn't thunderbird remember the logins? even now as i'm writing this message, thunderbird popped up the login AGAIN, i didn't even restart it. wtf? why is it doing that? is there some setting or what is the issue here? why doesn't it remember the logins?

NOTE: i have custom windows 10, there MIGHT be some permission issues somewhere, but i have no idea where. thunderbird saves data just fine for other emails, such as gmail and yahoo for example. it's just microsoft accounts that no longer work. ALSO THEY USED TO WORK with app password, but on 16th this month microshit stops supporting "old" login methods, so they require oauth2 and thunderbird doesn't seem to be able to remember the logins.

can someone help? what is the issue? how to fix it? thanks.

'Hello, I had to change my Google password. Immediately after the change, I was and am still unable to sed or receive mails, receiving the message : "Authentication failed when connecting to imap.gmail.com server". I am asked repetitively to allow Mozilla to access my Google account, because giving my consent is useless. Do you have a solution ?
