Hi, I've received the email below from Microsoft today.

I have 15 email accounts linked to Thunderbird mail and use up to 5 of them daily. Sometimes 'instant' communications on one or more of my accounts can be important.

Will Thunderbird mail still function in the same way from 16th September?

I apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else. I searched but could not find it.

"The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods."

I've installed Nightly the same way I have for years on my latest Fedora 33 install—i.e., download tarball, extract into /opt, set appropriate chmod and chown, make .desktop file, etc.—but certain videos certain videos on certain sites refuse to play. A Fedora discussion discussion led me to think it's how Fedora 33 may sandbox apps; I haven't yet had any hits on solutions in the Fedora groups, so I thought I'd ask here, since I can't be the only one with this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

Created several email mailing lists. Stored them in the Personal Address Book (PAB). I'm sorry, but Thunderbird doesn't seem to work like any other email client. How do I address an email using one of those mailing lists in the PAB. Tried typing the whole name of the mailing list in the To: field. Didn't work. I'm not entirely stupid but it doesn't make sense to me.

How come FF translates sites in tiny, irrelevant languages like Bulgarian, but not from major languages like Chinese and Arabic?!?

I wish I could dump Edge, but this FF deficit forces me to keep Edge on my computer...

After updating Thunderbird, Verizon server no longer recognizes my password, so authentication keeps failing. I can neither send nor receive email. Account settings are correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

Using Thunderbird only one week, and it's outstanding, until today. Now, when I *write or *reply to an e-mail, my screen is totally filled, covering up important parts of my screen. How can I stop this from happening, i.e. NEVER go to full screen when doing e-mail???? Thank you in advance.

Since the installation of Thunderbird 60.3. (09.11.) attached word files are corrupted. I cannot open the attached word file after receiving a copy of my mail. All servers from companies refuse my mail alltogether. I deleted already the mimeTypes.rdf file, but no solution. The previous version Thunderbird 52 on my second MacBook works absolutely fine as also on this Retina Book until the 09.11. The problem occurs with all my mail accounts under Thunderbird 60.3. I attach files to show the problem.

Best regards Martin Gehlen

After the transfer, when I open Thunderbird on Ubuntu, one account and all the folders appear. But the other account is empty (just an empty Inbox,...).

The move was done copying the Thunderbird "profile folder" from one machine to another. Then as a second try (after deleting all the files on the target machine from the other attempt) with Tools->Import/Export->Export Profile method.

The folders exist in the exported folders "D:\Local-D\Thunderbird eMail\2019-01-28_Mov2Tarus\7rkcx2ly.default-20190128-1418\ExternalMailFolders\Settings"

I have been using Thunderbird for many years and there may be a problem with that. The reason I say that is there is a file "compatibility.ini".

I have searched for most of today trying to find a solution, but nothing I tried works.

Both eMail accounts are Pop Mail Server. Source machine is Win7, target machine is Ubuntu 18.

Can you help?

Hi,I have 4 email address & my Default Email is ismda3@westvic.com.au(on SMTP) Regardless which email I TRY to REply to.I receive the Samr Message See attachment I am getting very desperate Thanks Darryl

I imported my Yahoo contacts into Thunderbird. All my keywords were in the "Notes" field in Yahoo. After importing into Thunderbird, all these ended up in the "Other" field.

When I go into the search tool, it lists all searchable fields. "Other" is not included. Is there any way to search "Other"? Or is there a way to import the contacts in a way that lands the Yahoo "Notes" into a searchable field?

Thanks!

With the latest version of Firefox the menu, etc. have a font size that is TOO SMALL. There are many Mozilla posts about this problem.

My wife cannot read them. I can barely read them. If this is not fixed soon, we will switch to another browser.

Can the Firefox code writers fix this?

short version: using: Thunderbird 38.3.0 mail is : sympatico isp: bell Windows7 64 bit

can't send email no matter how I change settings - I have done every imaginable configuration, filling in fields differently - I have done all that Mozilla suggests - firewall/virus on and off - new passwords - contacted isp which made things worse as they "don't support thunderbird" - I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried to revert to old Thunderbird (but was too dumb to figure that one out), switched ports, gone through mozilla support and knowledge base - half the problem is I don't understand what it's asking me to do. It has taken me days just to figure out how to 'sign up' for help - I could only see the sign in area and just finally now, after days, managed to set up my mozilla account. After a week of this and about 30 hours in, I have been willing to pay tech support, only to find out that Thunderbird has no third party tech or phone support - my ISP however, who will not assist, said they can help if I subscribe to a third party service for a monthly fee. For obvious reasons, I'd rather not. I have added my screen shot of the current settings - but believe me, I've switched them all around many times. Thank you in advance for any advice, and apologies in advance for my ignorance in figuring out something that is quite likely simple.

long version: I use thunderbird because it's closest to Outlook which I was used to, but didn't come on Windows7. A week ago my boss required we have a Gmail account. I already have two that I set up just to take the names, both of which I added into my thunderbird no problem so I could see them without going online. This new one I set up is for work only - I added it to Thunderbird like I did the others ( I think) and all of a sudden my sympatico account was gone - I didn't even realize except that when I checked email on my ipad, there was no mail and I finally figured out everything I sent off my desktop was going through this new gmail account and my normal sympatico email was gone. I deleted the gmail from my Thunderbird and tried to put sympatico profile back on - days doing this - it was at the bottom - couldn't get it to the default, etc... Finally got it back and then couldn't send or receive - called my ISP - got new passwords - could receive but not send - isp Tech said it was their end. 24 hours later it worked - but only for the night - spent two more days with three techs and they all said it was how Thunderbird was set up and not their problem. I have gone through all the knowledge bases I can wrap my head around, called isp again today to ask if they're blocking my port (which the Mozilla help said to do)- of course they said no and laughed at me. I fear they have done something so I can't send email. They kept telling my I shouldn't be using Thunderbird.

I would be so grateful if someone could help me and understand my limited knowledge. Although, the information I've gleaned over the past week is immense!

Thank you in advance - and know that I really did look at so many other forums and help areas - it's just all a blur.

The behavior began with fifteen to twenty crash messages appearing. After which the browser would stop responding and be unable to reach out to the internet.

Network connectivity was confirmed as I was able to access my VPN and corporate teams.

I submitted as many crash reports as I could. Eventually the crash reporter ceased to function. The message is:

Firefox had a problem and crashed. Unfortunately, the crash reporter is unable to submit a report for this crash.

Details: expected value at line 1 column 1

Only a full reboot of the machine restored functionality but only temporarily. It returns after being put into sleep mode.

Running firefox in safe mode does not restore functionality. The behavior persists.

I am fully up to date according to firefox.

I am running a Lenovo Thinkpad Windows 11.
