I have been having all my email transferred from Yahoo mail for more than a decade, it used to be Frontier net, and i didnt want to change my email, and i havent, so i transfered it on 3 devices because i am very used to the thunderbird format. It still works on my android phone and my HP laptop, but thunderbird will not allow me to sign in to yahoo mail on my PC which is what we use the most for our email, for some reason yahoo made some changes and required a new sign in so i did that on the other 2 devices, however, when the sign in box from yahoo pops up on our PC it always says " OOPS something went wrong" and i called yahoo and they verified it was not them. Which leaves Thunderbird to fix the problem. Please address this as i still Do Not want to change my email address or the Thunderbird Mail which we are used to. Some things are okay just as they are, so i would like some help from your end. Thank you, Richard Sessums.

// File: Thunderbird.js (Optimized Version) // Executes Thunderbird from a USB drive using the local USB profile path.

var Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

// Returns the drive letter or directory where this script is executed var USB = Shell.CurrentDirectory;

// Ensure the path ends with a backslash if it doesn't have one if (USB.charAt(USB.length - 1) !== "\\") {

   USB += "\\";

}

var ThunderbirdVersion = "07";

// Construct absolute paths to the executable and the profile var PathToExe = '"' + USB + "Thunderbird\\" + ThunderbirdVersion + "\\Programme\\thunderbird.exe" + '"'; var ProfilePath = '"' + USB + "Thunderbird\\" + ThunderbirdVersion + "\\Profile" + '"';

// Combine the executable path with the portable profile switch var Command = PathToExe + " -profile " + ProfilePath;

// Run the application (0 hidden window state, false to not wait for execution to finish) Shell.Run(Command, 1, false); Shell.RunThunderbird.js

Hello,

There is apparently a bug in the latest release of Thunderbird, which has broken the callbacks for Yahoo! IMAP email using OAuth. Potentially, it may actually be a problem with Yahoo!, and how https://api.login.yahoo.com is attempting to reopen Thunderbird after logging in, as the process has changed. I've already reverted back to the ESR Thunderbird channel once, but on a recent update the issue was reintroduced. Screenshots are included.

Thanks for any assistance.

I'm being notified that I have to give a password for a mail from an unknown sender. Giving my Mozilla password doesn't help. How do I solve this because it is a recurring request which is very annoying .

When I download my mail from the server, my system sends a password to verify who is downloading the mail. Where, on my end, is the password located. I have forgotten what it was and want to also access my account from my phone. Need to know what it is, not change it. Thanks Charlie TB 38.5

hello thunderbird, having problem accessing my emails, keep showing pop-up box requesting password. i am the only person accessing my email, therefore i dont wish to use password. is there a way i can use my email without the use primary password? thankyou mick

Trying to get my laptop PC (Windows) Thunderbird to accept change in gmail password. Laptop shows blown-up (Thunderbird, I assume?) screen asking me to click on "allow" button. No such button is visible: presumably it is off-screen? I've tried everything mentioned on internet to deal with this, and nothing works. Thunderbird + gmail worked perfectly on that Dell laptop until I changed the gmail password (using my desktop PC). Any suggestions would be appreciated. E.g., should I take the laptop to BestBuy or another service point? Or am I overlooking something? THANKS, Fred

I have successfully added five ntlworld.com email accounts in Thunderbird but my two personal ones keep coming up with Authentication error. Each time the screen shows the details of the account found automatically so the information is coming from somewhere.

Advice I gratefully received was to Disable the account hub in Settings / General, then add the account from New Account, and use an application specific password assigned via your email provider.

Virginmedia no longer seems to acknowledge ntlworld accounts but says they are talktalk. However, talktalk says they do not hold the accounts.

I do not understand how I can disable the account hub in Settings when it has not loaded.

I cannot understand why two of the accounts do not load.

I have tried reinstalling the account automatically and manually no matter which way I do it it just comes up awaiting authorization then just hangs there? I have doubled checked all the settings, imap.mail.yahoo.com 993 OAuth. smtp.mail.yahoo.com OAuth 465 SSL/TLS I have done everything that I can find so am I missing something? Chris

Had to reinstall Thunderbird on my old Mac after wiping it (accidentally! :() and it won't let me log in--Says probably wrong configuration, username or password. Old computer logs in fine! Any help most most appreciated THANK YOU!!!!!

Thunderbird has stopped downloading mail from the outlook account for my prime account, but my secondary account also outlook is OK. It kept asking to sign into my account then directed me to a web page to sign in for outlook, but it would only let sign into the 2nd account. I have tried uninstalling Thunderbird and re-installed it but still have the same problem.

My password automatically enters my account in my computer. It also works on my laptop. No problem. I have not needed to know the password since it goes automatically to my site. I have used the email site for many, many years & it continues to work well. However I want to put the site also on my phone. Going to settings on my computer, the password that is shown does not work when I enter it on my phone? I am not computer savvy but would like to have the site on my phone. I don't know why the settings password doesn't work? Please help. Thanks so much.

I use 2 different gmail accounts for different purposes. I get mail for AccountA via IMAP on Thunderbird, no problem, and have for years. For over a year now I've been unable to collect mail for my second-string address, AccountB, on Thunderbird, and have had to get it in the browser.

I've finally decided to do something about this. I removed AccountB from Thunderbird & set it up again. I'm using the exact same settings (in Thunderbird and in Gmail) that I do for AccountA, the only difference is the password. I've double-checked the password, too. But when I try to connect, I get a pop-up:

titled: Enter credentials for AccountB@gmail.com on imap.gmail.com [a very long URL which I've copied & saved] page from Google:

400. That's an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know.

Thanks a heap, guys!

Is this problem coming from Thunderbird, or from Google? What do I do now?

Thanks,

メールソフトをアウトルックからサンダーバードへ移行したく、サンダーバードのアプリはダウンロードしましたが、 サインインに失敗なのか？認証できなく困っています。受信サーバーはIMAPですが、サンダーバード ではPOP3とでてきたので、手動でIMAPにかえてもみましたが、とにかく認証しないのです。 どうしたらよいか教えていただきたいです。

I need help. How do I troubleshoot TBird asking for a password that disappears when I go into troubleshooting mode? In other words, I can enter anything in for the password, or dismiss/close the pop up box, and nothing is effected by it. I still get all me email for all accounts. The only thing at the top of the box is a user name (pmruzicka). At this point, I have deleted the accounts that used that user name, including all info for the outgoing servers (even tho this password request pops up at TBird start). I have Disabled ALL extensions one at a time and the pop up still happens. I have set TBird to default them,e - pop up still there. I have unchecked the hardware acceleration box - pop up still there. I have no clue what else I could do at this point. I do NOT have a Primary password set. Can someone please help me figure this out? Getting tired of having to click off that pw box every time I start TBird. Thanks. Also, this has been happening through the last few updates of TBird.
