if tb checks emails, they're not downloaded & i keep receiving sound pretending there's email.. until i click on "Get messages" button.

if ur having a nap or sleeping at night, it's harassment, forcing ppl to wake up.

This should be fixed as a bug of Tb.

I go through the process of signing into Firefox Sync, it sends the confirmation e-mail and i copy paste the code in, then it takes me to the mozilla accounts page and shows me all the data about my account, but when i click on sync under settings, it says "account disconnected" if i click "sign in" the process repeats with the end result being "account disconnected"

Today I changed the password on one of my gmail accounts. I edited the password in Settings in 3 places: imap, smpt and oauth. Next time I started Thunderbird I got a gmail authentication pop-up. Se first screenshot. The email address was shown correctly. When I clicked Next, I got the failure message. See second screenshot. I rebooted and tried many times with same result.

I have several other gmail accounts on this same Thunderbird client and they continue to work correctly. I know my password is correct because I can access this email account both directly on gmail and also on another computer where I set up Thunderbird just to test for this problem.

Any idea what is going on and how to fix it?

Hi. so microsoft has been SPAMMING and THREATENING me for months now that soon i won't be able to use microsoft accounts with "old" login. i guess they refer to app passwords. i just now updated thunderbird and it automatically changed all microsoft accounts to oauth2 and then it pops up a new window asking me to login.

so first time i logged into all of my microsoft accounts via thunderbird's pop-up window, it asked on every account if i want to allow thunderbird to do this and that, i clicked ALLOW. all seemed good, but then i restarted thunderbird and then it asked me to login AGAIN for all microsoft accounts. i manage over 20 accounts and this is seriously frikking annoying logging into all of them all the time. i have 2-way auth enabled with codes, so i have to keep copy-pasting those codes aswell.

why doesn't thunderbird remember the logins? even now as i'm writing this message, thunderbird popped up the login AGAIN, i didn't even restart it. wtf? why is it doing that? is there some setting or what is the issue here? why doesn't it remember the logins?

NOTE: i have custom windows 10, there MIGHT be some permission issues somewhere, but i have no idea where. thunderbird saves data just fine for other emails, such as gmail and yahoo for example. it's just microsoft accounts that no longer work. ALSO THEY USED TO WORK with app password, but on 16th this month microshit stops supporting "old" login methods, so they require oauth2 and thunderbird doesn't seem to be able to remember the logins.

can someone help? what is the issue? how to fix it? thanks.

Using Thunderbird 128.2.0 . I have changed to Microsoft 2 part authentication, i appear to have done everything required to make Thunderbird work, however I am unable to send or receive any emails from hotmail.

The message on screen is Hotmail Host contacted sending login information....

Then nothing. If I go to Hotmail account the emails are there.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've been using Thunderbird for several years now without any issues, and I currently have the latest version installed. I typically have multiple email accounts logged in. Recently, I tried adding a Gmail account, but it wouldn’t log in, showing the error: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

I’ve tried the usual fixes like closing and reopening Thunderbird, clearing cache files, and even searching online for solutions. Based on what I found, I’ve tried turning off VPN/antivirus, changing the default browser, clearing browser data, and, finally, uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird after removing all my email accounts.

Now, I’m unable to log in to any of my accounts, which were working fine before. Can anyone guide me on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

I accidentally deleted a login username and password in my password list. Is there a way to recover that password?

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Would you like to explain to me why the Dashlane Extension will either not load or will load after several minutes? Rather a catch 22 isn't it. You want my password to raise this issue; but, you will not give me access to my password vault. It used to work just fine. What did you change?

Also telling that Mozilla holds the keys to the realm but have zero interest in providing direct support.

I've had Thunderbird for years, 20+ maybe. I opened my email the other day and it prompted me for my password, which it NEVER does. I put it in, which is how I'm typing to you now, and it WILL NOT accept it. A 1014 error pops up. I've tried all the things suggested on line to no avail. Why did it suddenly stop working? Eric

Microsoft are again complaining about normal password login.

Today I have updated to Version 128.2.0esr (64-bit)

I have set outgoing server to StartTLS and OAuth2 and it is fine.

When i set OAuth2 in server settings and try to retrieve mail i get "Host contacted, sending login............" and it sticks at that point with no error messages from Thunderbird or Microsoft.

If i revert to "Normal Password" it is fine.

When microsoft first complained i turned on two step authorisation and the used their option (cannot remember what it was called now) to create a login password/key for thunderbird so that it would still work for "Normal Password" setting

How do we get round Microsoft's obstacles???>

Good afternoon,

Each time I load Thunderbird, I am prompted to enter the password for two email accounts, namely: 'president@crcc.com.au', 'secretary@crcc.com.au'. How do I fix this, please?

Jeg har problemer med login på microsofts server, så jeg sender en kopi af mailen fra dem. Hilsen Karlo Kristensen, pindsvinekrattet@hotmail.com

Den 16. september 2024 vil apps, der bruger mindre sikker logon-teknologi, ikke længere kunne få adgang til din mail.

Sikkerheden for dine oplysninger har meget høj prioritet for Microsoft. For at hjælpe med at holde din konto sikker vil Microsoft ikke længere understøtte brugen af mail- og kalenderapps fra tredjepart, som beder om at logge på med kun brugernavnet og adgangskoden for din Microsoft-konto. For at holde dig mere sikker skal du bruge en mail- eller kalenderapp, som understøtter Microsofts moderne godkendelsesmetoder. Hvis du ikke foretager dig noget, vil dine mailapps fra tredjepart ikke længere kunne få adgang til din Outlook.com-, Hotmail- eller Live.com-mailadresse fra den 16. september 2024.

Hvad skal du gøre?

Hvis du modtager denne mail, bruger du i øjeblikket en mail- eller kalenderapp, der bruger en mindre sikker godkendelsesmetode til at oprette forbindelse til din Outlook.com-mailkonto. Du skal opgradere din mail- og kalenderapp fra tredjepart til en version, der understøtter moderne godkendelsesmetoder.

Microsoft tilbyder gratis versioner af Outlook til dine pc'er, Macs, iOS- og Android-enheder, som nemt kan downloades og forbindes til din mailkonto. Når du bruger en opdateret version af en Outlook-app, kan du være sikker på, at du opretter forbindelse på den mest sikre måde.

Hvordan kan du konfigurere din Gmail, Apple Mail eller andre mailapps fra tredjepart?

Forskelle ikke-Microsoft-apps vil have deres egne trin til at oprette forbindelse til din Outlook.com-mailkonto ved hjælp af moderne godkendelsesmetoder. Se vores hjælpeartikel – Moderne godkendelsesmetoder er nu påkrævet for fortsat at synkronisere Outlook-mail i ikke-Microsoft-mailapps. Det kan dog være nødvendigt at kontakte udvikleren af disse apps for at få vejledning. I mange tilfælde kan du konfigurere den pågældende app til at bruge moderne godkendelsesmetoder ved blot at fjerne din konto og tilføje den igen med den nyeste version af appen.

Good afternoon,

I have read in an article a statement that Primary Password encrypts all saved logins, therefore it is safer and recommended to use it. Well, I observed that it does not really matter if the password is set for the contents of logins.json, it does not change. What exactly is encrypted by Primary Password and how does it improve security?

I also tried to set the same password for different websites (I used a different mail tho) and the output in logins.json is different, which is even more confusing to me.

The output itself is kind of strange, the first part of it seems to be the same for almost all entries and looks like that: MEoEEPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEwFAYIKoZIhvcNAwc.

When I login to my Virgin Mobile Canada account (at https://www.virginplus.ca/myAccount/logon-smart.do), it displays the error:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Size of a request header field exceeds server limit. The URL for the error message starts with https://www.ges.bell.ca/siteminderagent/SmMakeCookie.ccc?SMSESSION=

After getting the error, when I got back to https://myaccount.virginplus.ca/, I find that I am logged in. Also, I do not get this error with Edge.

Cheers,
