I have three email address, all bellsouth.net domains. If I go to the AT&T Yahoo site I can login to all three addresses without a problem. Therefore I know I have a good password and the accounts are not locked.

Last fall I lost access to all three email accounts via Thunderbird. AT&T support told me I had to establish a secure 16 character password and convert to from POP3 to IMAP servers (this proved untrue as POP3 still works). After much effort I converted all three addresses to IMAP and regained access. A few months ago one of the three address suddenly would not login via Thunderbird. AT&T technical support proved no help resolving this problem even after hours of telephone time. I can still reliably log into this account via AT&Ts Yahoo site but not via an email client like Thunderbird or OE Express. On both clients I tried both POP3 and IMAP logins, and although both work for the other two accounts, nothing works for the one problem account. Thunderbird gives the following message when I try to log in "Login to server imap.mail.att.net with username xxxxxx@bellsouth.net failed.". I used both the original password that works with Yahoo and the 16 character secure password, with the same result. I also checked the settings multiple times.

I tried everything I can think of without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Every time I open Tbird a separate window is opening with the heading "one account all of google" and asking me to sign into google. I have absolutely no interest in signing into google even tho I do have an email address at gmail that I don't use.

Please tell me how to stop this window from opening up. HELP!!!!!

Hello. I have managed to get to the pgp menu while in a Thunderbird message,but am not sure when it comes to using pgp. Is there a step by step article here for being able to integrate,and setup pgp,and send to 1 or more contacts? Thankyou.

I'm new to Thunderbird and am testing it to use a UNIFIED inbox view with 5 or 6 different personal email accounts.

I have just set up two existing IMAP Gmail accounts and want to know why I have very slow progress showing at the bottom left of the screen (over a fast connection) of downloading over 1000 emails. As I understand it, IMAP does not download the email (unless this is just the headers?) it reads it off the server.

I am concerned about bloating my local hard drive with local inbox files as my Gmail accounts are huge.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have been experiencing on and off problems with the outgoing e-mail. It says it failed to log in my account. With all of my accounts.

Nothing changed as far of the settings go, I triple checked them even with my provider. The problem seems to be in Thunderbird. If I use another e-mail program I don't have any problems. Also tried after disabling all of the add-ons but same problem.

Is this a bug?

Love to hear how we can fix this.

Hello,

 When receiving a message, Thunderbird considers a line containing "--" to be a signature start mark and automatically removes all following lines (instead of quoting it) when editing the reply. 

I want to disable this behavior. (The content of my (reply) message is my responsibility, I dislike automation on my authoring. ;-) )

So, how to configure this?

Regards.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for my e-mail manager. I have AOL and Yahoo mail accounts that I manage via Thunderbird. The new security requirements from Yahoo and AOL require me to remove my e-mail accounts from Thunderbird and add them back into Thunderbird. After I add the accounts to Thunderbird, the system then has me login to the Yahoo mail account. I am getting an error message that says my browser (in my case, Firefox) is not allowing cookies. I have changed all of the Privacy and Security settings that should allow cookies (according to Mozilla Help) and am still unsuccessful. I am at a loss on what I am supposed to do to allow cookies.

After update to 78.3.2 there is more white space between the list of messages in the folder view (and more white space between folders in the folder tree view). This is very annoying - I just bought a bigger screen to see more, and now it is consumed to show white space. I need to have more compact view in both the folder tree and the message list. There seems to be no customization option for that -please help!?

Hello, I receive two messages repeatedly, on my Orange address. This is not the case if I use Orange mail, only with thunderbird. For the first, I put a filter that removes it, but it doesn't work with the second. This repetition saturates my messaging and prevents me from receiving other messages.

Bonjour, Je reçois deux messages de façon répétitive, sur mon adresse Orange. Ce n'est pas le cas si j'utilise Orange mail, seulement avec thunderbird. Pour le premier, j'ai mis un filtre qui le supprime, mais ça ne marche pas avec le second. Cette répétition sature ma messagerie et m'empêche de recevoir les autres messages.

I routinely use Thunderbird to access my three gmail accounts. Google have recently introduced two-step verification on one of these accounts - after I put in my password it sends a message to my mobile asking me to verify my identity. I am now unable to get in to this account via Thunderbird, presumably because Thunderbird can't handle the extra login step. It says I need an "application-specific password". I have no problems with my other two gmail accounts - though if Google introduce two-step verification on these I'll presumably not be able to get into them via Thudnerbird either. As far as i know I'm using the latest version of Thunderbird - I certainly get auomatic updates.

Can anybody help? John

Hi, I am using Thunderbird 91.5.0 and Firefox 96.0 on Windows 10 19042.1415.

When Firefox is not already running and I click on a link in an eamil received in Thunderbird. Firefox opens but not the URL pointed to. Any action in the Firefox window will not work. In task mananger I can see that 3-4 Firefox instances are open plus a background process with Firefox. When I "kill" all instances of Firefox in the task manager. Open Firefox from the windows probgram bar and click on a link in the email it works ok.
