For a few weeks I have had a new problem on my new Windows 11 Lenovo laptop, and also on my wife's older Dell laptop. We have been using Thunderbird for years without major problems. I loaded the latest version of Thunderbird on my new laptop and it seemed to work ok at first. Now I have a problem with intermittent failure to send normal emails on Thunderbird. My wife has noticed the same problem on her laptop Windows 11. I asked iPrimus support (who are supposed to support Hotkey) but they say it is not their problem but Thunderbird's. We RECEIVE emails ok, and sometimes pressing SEND will work immediately, sometimes on the second press, and sometimes not at all. This generates a message "-- Unable to authenticate Outgoing Server (SMTP), smtp.hotkey.net.au -- Check password and verify authentification method in Account settings/Outgoing server SMTP" We both use Trend virus protection.

Account name: mail.hotkey.net.au Outgoing Server: smtp.hotkey.net.au Server Settings: Server name pop.hotkey.net.au

Hi I wish to have Firefox 125.0.2 and 124.02 'separate instances', not different profiles...

I already have 125.0.2 installed with various Profiles.

I found a 'few' links and they were quite 'cloudy' and also since Firefox (now) does not have the 'ask you WHERE to' install... I vaguely remember years ago, it was possible.

I do not mid doing tweaking, I also already have backups of profiles, just in case!

Thank you in advance M

PS it seems Mozilla does not want us to install multiple instances (perception)!

Thunderbird 115.10.1 64 bit on windows 11. 24.4.2024.

Question: How I can access shared folders in Thunderbird?

Office 365 business. I can access admin portal etc:

portal.office.com/adminportal

And also I can go to Exchange admin portal via this. So, in my opinion I can use all deep settings also.

Office 365 licenses (full) for name.lastname@company.fi. Portal show "Office 365 business standard".

I create also shared folders. Today shared folders found from "Teams groups". Log in to portal.office.com/adminportal, "Teams-Groups", and then "Shared mailboxes".

My conf: Office 365 business standard found name.lastname@company.fi. ("john.smith@company.fi", "alice.brown@company.fi" as example.)

Shared mailboxes sharebox1, sharebox2, so, it is possible receive email sharebox1@company.fi, sharebox2@company.fi etc. (in real life share box names are bookkeeperteam@company.fi, orders@company.fi, helpdesk@company.fi etc etc.)

CONFIGURATION IS FULLY WORKING. It is, in Outlook it is possible receive and send emails, shared folders with messages are available etc.

------ 

HOW I can add shared folders to Thunderbird? Clean install tested.

1. LIcenced mailboxes work properly in Thunderbird. Tested.

name.lastname@company.fi:

Server: outlook.office365.com, port 993 Username: name.lastname@company.fi Connection security: SSL/TSL Auth: OAuth2

And smtp: smtp.office365.com, 587, starttls, oauth, name.lastname@company.fi.

This configuration work properly, and it is possible receive and send email from Thunderbird.

SHARED FOLDERS

It is not possible add shared folders.

Server: outlook.office365.com, 993 Username: name.lastname@company.fi/sharebox1 (where name.lastname is real working account name, just same as in position 1- working account. Also this sharebox1 work in outlook.) Connection security: SSL/TSL (no difference is it this or stattsl) Auth: OAuth2

(I am sorry, all my systems are native language, so I must translate---)

OK: Now I try use this shared folder. It is visible in Thunderbird. But immediately thunderbird open Browser and ask password: "name.lastname/sharebox1", wrtite password. Now I put same pw as in this account (name.lastname..). "Password wrong." I try empty password. I try account password.

SO: HOW to add shared mailbox in Thunderbird? This information "name.lastname/sharebox" not work. Is it any other method? Or any Exchange setting modification make this?

After updating Thunderbird to 115.5.2 I receive an error when I check (get) messages of my gmail account : 'The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and size......'. However, the messages do come in and so the error turns out false. since the authorization (OAUTH2) credentials are accepted.

I have my server settings check messages from startup; every 5min; automatically download new messages. That works fine. Again only when I goto "Get Messages" the error shows up.

What is wrong here and ho do I fix this? Thank you

This question was asked by someone else in November 2023 but never sign answer. When I click on a link to an address Mozilla should open my Google maps and put that address in automatically. Instead it goes to the Play store to download Google but since I already have it installed I click continue and it opens up Google maps but no address. How do I fix this or is this a glitch in Mozilla?

I have 4 different email accounts, all managed by IONOS. These have all been set up under thunderbird OK. But when I send an email from 1 of these email accounts I always have to enter my password for that a/c. With all the other accounts, this is not necessary. I do not use Thunderbird or Firefox password managers. I assume that I must have made an error in setting up the outgoing details when setting up that particular account in Thunderbird, but I cannot find a way of checking if that is the case.

Starting with my bank's web site, my user name/password is being challenged. I can't bank. Elsewhere, where my desk top has always been recognized, I'm now forced to log in each time...and I receive an email that a new device has just logged into my account. All of this suspiciously coincides with a recent browser update. On my bank feedback it's showing as Firefox "125"...when all previous logins were recorded as Firefox "124". Help!

I have had a few emails that did not show up in the inbox listing, so the message count at the top indicated more messages than were listed. Doing a search showed them, and by moving them from the search results to another folder, and then re-searching and moving them back, caused most of them to appear. But not all - I still have a message count of 20, but only 19 listed, see photo 1. Photo 2 shows the hidden email (from Barry Chandler). So the email is there, it's just not visible!

Routing the Nekobox proxy through AdGuard does not work in Firefox for Android. In Nekobox, it looks like the packet is sent and connected, but in whatsmyipadress, the original IP address is displayed. I put the local host address and port number for Nekobox in http.proxy in about:config and restarted, but the original IP address is still displayed.

I am a Salesforce (improveit! 360) user, exclusively browsing with Firefox for over 12 years without any problems. The most recent Firefox update 125.0.2 (64-bit) has caused an issue with my staff calendar. I have reached out to improveit! 360 they are a force.com developer and they will not help, said the error is caused by Firefox interpreting the code. I have figured out a work around to get the calendar to load correctly for a short term solution. Below is a screenshot of the error, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance in advance. Since I updated my browser, I've encountered some issues when trying to maximize the virtual screen in my tv. I use a Mac and connect the screen to a web TV to watch YouTube in my big tv. However, when I click to maximize the window, the connection becomes unstable, and the virtual screen disappears every time I click the YouTube icon to do this. This problem never occurred before. I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue. Please let me know if you require any additional information from me.

When choosing biometrics for 2-factor authentication, sometimes Firefox will only prompt for a physical hardware key, and Touch ID does not work. Support for built-in biometrics is inconsistent.

For reference, I am using Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1 with an ARM processor.

in my 'podcasts' folder I have ~2 pages of folders of the type feeds.json-xxx.corrupt where xxx is some number, see attached image.

With the intention to re-subscribe to my feeds later, I have deleted all other folders in my podcasts folder. Trying to simply delete the feeds.json-xxx.corrupt folders did not work. How can I get rid of them?

(I am using the portable version of thunderbird)

I'm on a Mac running Monterey 12.7.4. I've been using Firefox for years with no issues. All of a sudden Firefox can't load any websites. Message: "We can’t connect to the server at www.XXX.ca." But Safari loads all websites with no problems. I can't figure this out.
