Thunderbird Community Forum

E-mail stopped working. T-bird doesn't respond to "send e-mail" to address book. Something to do with an invalid information and encryption. T-Bird worked fine yesterday. This is a very recent development. Help. Thank you.

Thunderbird worked fine until a few hours ago when, all of sudden, my outlook accounts popped up for re-authentication. The problem is the authentication page is now empty/blank. I checked the forums and ensured all the settings were okay (it was working anyway). This is for my personal email accounts, not company's.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm happy to have been donating a little something each month for a while now. I forget where I set this up. However, the email address they are using to send me a thank you to, is out of date and I don't know where to change it.

I mistakenly deleted my password from Thunderbird's Password Manager. I have my primary password to log into Thunderbird but don't have the password to sign into my account. I've been trying for days now with no luck. How do I set a password in password manager?

I deleted an email address and it does not show in gmail on the web, but every time I open Thunderbird I get a window saying that the deleted email account is requesting my username and password. How can I stop this? get a window with the message

Recently I have started to see Thunderbird trying to insert passwords or Yubi key codes in the body of messages without my initiating that. I sent a message this morning and I deleted the codes, but T-Bird started re-inserting them.

Any idea what can cause this behaviour?

Thanks, Jim Darrough

I hope that not everyone receives 5 or more phishing emails a day like I do. The phishermen have learned that if they put a lengthy enough name in front of the email address that said address won't be seen unless the email is opened. The fishy looking email address is of course is the first tip off that the message is phishing. Some however manage to use a plausible tag in front of the @ and somehow use a legitimate xxxx.com after the @. I received two of that type this week from a phony Uber account. I've forwarded them to Uber.

The current Tbird release does not allow the user to add the "From" column to the list displays. That would be useful. Anything more that you could come up with would be be appreciated by many. BTW I am using the DKIM extension, and so far it seems to be helpful.

My wife and I are in our late 70s and both had careers in data processing. We are aware and careful. In another 10 years, who knows.

A Pop-up entitled "Enter credentials for <my email> on imap.gmail.com" has appeared recently. This "page" headed "Google", says "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your google account. This will allow ...Thunderbird ... to Read, Compose, Send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail". If I click the "Deny" button the same thing pops up and I cannot get to, not download any of my new emails.

It seems to me that if I "allow" this, it goes against all the privacy in Thunderbird settings and gives permission to take control of my account.

How do I get rid of this and get "back to normal" (this has only started in the las couple of weeks)?

I'm about ready to delete Thunderbird and try something else - this after 20-odd years of using Thunderbird with little or no problems.

Dear Sirs, I got a letter about a donation to support Thunderbird and I payed 200 SEK. I was connected to https://updates.thunderbird.net/sv-SE/thunderbird/128.0/nov24/

Is it OK? Or did I a mistake?

Occasionally some of my contacts said they were not receiving my emails. Therefore I sent an email to myself and it did not arrive. When I checked my sent box my email was there but the sent address consisted of the first part of my own address, followed by a completely different address, which I traced to a Spanish email provider: @d4.com.mx

It looks like my sent emails are sometimes being re-directed to someone else's address. How can this happen and more important how can it be stopped?

Thundermail ask for donations. But why should I give full name, mail address. full address: street, number city ... just to donate. What does Mozilla do with all this?
