My company uses Google for our email accounts with our own domain. Last year they forced everyone to stop using non-Gmail apps on mobile devices for security and as a side effect of that, they turned off IMAP access which was never mentioned in the change. I assume they did this for our entire domain in Google. I asked for this to be re-enabled and provided some arguments for how using a mail client like Thunderbird was superior and much more efficient than webmail (ugh). As with any large organization, they refused

While opening and updating Thunderbird this week to see if there is something new I was able to do a web-login to my work account and that worked. This sets up the security to a 3rd party app in the Google account but not sure how this is used. I can still not connect via IMAP and only IMAP/POP are options in Thunderbird still. The question I had is there another option for Thunderbird to somehow use a web-based connection perhaps as a proxy via webmail to allow access from Thunderbird? Also what is the 3rd party security connection in the Google account with Thunderbird used for since it is still only showing IMAP/POP connection methods?

Thanks, Greg

Hi, I have two Thunderbird accounts and have just added a third. I can't receive any new emails on the third account, nor can I drag and drop emails from one account into the new one. I'm using Windows 10. I have not had any problems before this. I have tried deleting the new account and then reinstalling it, with the same problem.

Is it possible to use Thunderbird's export function to export emails sent/received between two dates on my desktop and then import that onto the work laptop? I need to update work's new laptop and only need to do it between two dates.

Hi,

I changed my Google account password, but now find I get the below error screen when I try to reauthenticate the thunderbird android app to use it to handle my Gmail account.

Bonjour J'ai un compte Thunderbird depuis longtemps et il a disparu, certainement une mauvaise manipulation de ma part. Cela fait un mois que j'essaie de remettre Thunderbird en marche et rien ne va (malgré un don). Je ne suis pas très doué. Pouvez vous me dépanner ? Merci d'avance.

Thunderbird shows me a Google login box for an account (@sidly.org) that I don't have in Thunderbird. I had one, used it, but removed all its details from the incoming and outgoing mail server settings. Nowhere in Thunderbird is there any more information about this account (@sidly.org) and the window still appears. Uninstalling and reinstalling has not helped. I would be grateful if you could point out where I can EFFECTIVELY remove this account information and why it still appears.

Hello,

For 2 of my Yahoo DE e-mail accounts, I cannot go further when setting up. When I click on "I am not a robot" (reCaptcha), I get this kind of error message telling me that some API settings are invalid. This doesn't happen on other accounts of other providers. Thanks for your help. Best regards.
