I still have not been able to connect to gmail with Thunderbird. I have researched and checked all I could find. Following is the connection info: Imap, SSL/TLS, OAuth2, 993 Smtp, SSL/TLS, OAuth2, 465 javascript true cookies allowed When it starts up the Google account screen comes up and I am able to enter the email address and password and allow Thunderbird to access gmail. After this nothing more happens. No passwords get asked for and no passwords get saved in Thunderbird's in Thunderbird's cache. When I delete the account and reenter it a message comes up, "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." Any idea how I can get this working?

Hi,

I updated Thunderbird to the latest 115 version this morning, and a strange microsoftonline.com authentication pop up has been showing up since then every time Thunderbird checks if there's new email from hotmail.com. How do I get rid of this pop up window?

Thanks, Tang

TB 115 and Outlook accounts (oAuth) need authentication every startup

I have several Outlook.com e-mail addresses in TB 115. Every time I start TB, I get the popup window to send a notification to my Microsoft Authenticator mobile app and authenticate the access. I get the popup for each account I have.

This happened when i installed v115 over the previous version. I still get the authentication popups after deleting my profile and re-entering my accounts from scratch.

All of my outlook.com accounts are passwordless and no longer have an app password associated with them.

I am not receiving my hotmail.com email now after this latest update to 115.2.2. This is a real problem, I get a popup window about Microsoft not being able to sign me in...? What the heck have you done to me with this update. I want to go back to my previous version, but I can never find any info on how to do that and I am not positive what version I had before this Supernova edition.

I updated my gmail password. As result, Mozilla is unable to download my email. I get the following message:

O comando STAT não teve êxito. Erro ao obter o número e o tamanho da mensagem. O servidor de email pop.gmail.com respondeu: [AUTH] Invalid credentials. (the STAT command was not successful. Error upon obtaining the number and size of the message. The email server pop.gmail.com replied [AUTH] Invalid credentials).

I have spent the whole day trying to resolve this problem, without success. I am not a professional computer person, just computer user. All help appreciated

Thunderbird cannot get Google approval via oauth

I install Thunderbird. I define my GMaul account I get a screen from Google that says "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account null dougcantreademail@gmail.com This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to: and I get three heading labels. I open the labels.

More info Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail Click for more information More info See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts Click for more information More info See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar Click for more information By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can change this and other Account Permissions at any time.

I open each and say OK to each. The OK doesn't change or enable anything and that means I cannot get Google approval for Thunderbird to get mail from my e-mail account.

Something has to be fixed but I have no idea what and I'm very sure there is nothing I can do to fix the problem. There is no overall "OK" or "Agree" or some such button.

As far as I can see, this is between your product and Google. Either you are calling up a bad page or Google is screwed up and they need to hear it from YOU.

Until this gets fixed, I cannot use Thunderbird.

As of December 1st 2023, one of my gmail accounts in thunderbird stopped working. Every time I check messages, I get the Oauth prompts to allow thunderbird access to the gmail account, I click through without error messages, and I can see the rights were granted to Thunderbird in my account, but Thunderbird is unable to connect. If I check saved passwords, I see it has not saved an OAuth password.

Things I have done: (1) Verified everything in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20 (2) Verified that IMAP was enabled on the gmail account (3) Checked the settings against my other gmail accounts which are all working, I don't see any difference. (And this account was working up until December 1st, along with all my other ones which are still working)

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?
