I access Thunderbird through AOL. I have a completely separate yahoo email account which I do not access with Thunderbird. Do I need to do anything with respect to the new "authorization protocol known as OAuth2 with PKCE"?

1. Some messages come to my mobile devices but not to my Mac. 2. I watch a message down load but it doesn't end up in my inbox or junk folder. 3. Junk folder says there are 14 messages in it, but when I open it, it's empty. 4. Yes, I'm up to date with Thunderbird. Also, the Mac is up to date. Problem began before latest updates. I have shut down the Mac. I have quit the Thunderbird application. No improvement. 5. I use Comcast for my ISP.

Since the 26th of Feb. my thunderbird stopped downloading emails from any of my GMail accounts. I've accessed the email and i have a bunch of new emails there but for some reason they are not transferred to thunderbird anymore. I'm think i've installed a new thunderbird version around that time but im not really sure if that was the cause.

Also, no error message appears. it just says no new emails.

Already cleared the login details and logged again, still same issue. I'm using pop connection.

So here is the issue, I understand the security has been changed to OAuth2, and both the inbound and outbound settings are such. But Thunderbird wants me to log in, OKAY, it will send me the screen with my email account, but will not change after clicking "Next" to allow me to enter the password, regardless of how long I wait. If I click a second time I get the message " Edge: Too many requests"

What needs to be done?

147.0.1 (64-bit) Recent problems on my Gmail account led to a reload of Tb. It appears to be faulty again. Obvious issue is return replies not finding the usual address for sending, then not saving the sent email but it shows in the InBox, Any ideas?

First-time round I though the problem was Gmail - hotmail and my ionos webmail seemed OK

MS CoPilot ran a significant "tweak this" process over a couple of days but it was ineffective so remove and replace was applied. It was a hassle but seemed to work, but today problems are reappearing.

A Reply-to does not find the reply address but conncocts one - basically the "From" address. The resulting email does not have the usual header nor any space to insert text. The sent reply does not end up in Sent but does sit in Inbox

I am a club secretary. I want to send a small (under 100KB) Word document, as an attachment, to my committee mailing list of 7 people, which includes myself. I cannot get Thunderbird to do this. I can send the same attachment to just myself (or just my wife) but it seems that when I put multiple addresses, either as a mailing list or individually entered, the email isn't received by anyone. There is always a copy in my sent folder. I am getting very frustrated by this and would appreciate some help. Many thanks, Alan

today, when I clicked on the Thunderbird icon (on my desktop PC), instead of my usual window popping up, an odd looking window came up instead that asked to sign into my account using my username, email address or mobile number. But when I tried (several times), none of them were recognised and now I can't access any of my emails because now when I try I get a message that says "Edge: Too many requests" ... this is followed by a pop-up window (bottom right), that says, "Authentication Failure while connecting to server imap.aol.com. This in turn is followed by another Crash Report window (attached screenshot).

I tried uninstalling Thunderbird, deleting cookies, etc, then reinstalling ... but no change.

I received an IMAP email as normal, from an email address that I often write with. What I always do: the IMAP inbox is forwarded move on arrival to the local inbox. It had an attachment, and I downloaded that as normal. Then after 5 minutes I wanted to start work on the reply to the message in the local inbox and ... the message was gone. Nowhere to be found. Not in the IMAP inbox (of course), not in junk, not in trash. I looked in the on-line IMAP account, and there the message was present as normal.

Then I searched for the email and there it shows: in "Inbox". And I see one strange thing that I never saw: column Message threads says: "This subthread is ignored". So that is the problem. Probably I hit accidentally some key (k ?) and this caused the "kill".

Now how to un-ignore it? There is this Help page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ignore-threads and it says: "To un-ignore a thread that has been marked ignored, select a message in the thread, right-click on it and again select Ignore Thread. ". But right-clicking the email (in the search results) shows NO such option.

What can I do? Thanks!

Because gmail is removing support for "Check mail from other accounts", I'm thinking of switching to Thunderbird. The current size of my 18-yo gmail account is 62GB. But gmail is in the cloud, and profiles are on the device. Assuming Thunderbird profiles would have a similar size, this would be a nibble on my desktop, reasonable on my 1TB laptop, but half my total storage on my android Pixel 7. Can I limit my mobile's profile to the previous year or two of email? Are there other solutions? Thanks.
