The S/MIME e-signature does not function. (The problem occurred recently.) The system can not find the certificate (the certificate is valid, it is QCA23....73.crt). How the system searches for it? What should I set in Thunderbird to find it? The openPGP functions well.

Windows 10 22H2, Thunderbird 115.5

Thunderbird periodically loses my saved passwords (11 accounts) necessitating the re-entry of said passwords. This has been happening for about six to eight months.

I have searched for solutions and have tried deleting the pkcs11.txt and secmod.db files but the problem reoccurs. There is no rhyme or reason as to how often this happens. If I new where the passwords were stored, I could copy the good password file back into the thunderbird directory.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I can send emails just fine, but cannot receive any. After a few moments, I get a popup saying my login to the mail server failed, and I can retry, enter new password, or cancel. When I click on Enter New Password, nothing happens. No new dialog box appears. Retry just keeps repeating the same error.

This issue arose when I changed my password on the webserver, and then attempted to update my password in TB under Privacy and Security/Saved Passwords, but only the smtp server is listed. I must have deleted the pop address. I don't see a way to add it back. Other than removing the account and creating a new one, is there a way to add the pop address? Many thanks.

I have a droplet and domain at DigitalOcean. I’ve added users and I’m logging into their mail accounts with ThunderBird. I can send and receive mail between these users, but I can’t get mail from these mail accounts to Gmail and vice versa. No error. Also, when I checked the BlackList status, I saw that my droplet-IP address is in the BlackList: RATS Spam, SORBS SPAM, UCEPROTECTL3. How can I solve the problem?

Microsoft has changed securities for mails using now Oauth2 . Extern app like thunderbird on mac must used a password based on Oauth2 on a mac and mail works correctly.

But If you want to add the same values on another mac, the system replies to log on a server like school server,enterprise server. If you don't have external server and you have only a personal mail you cannot use hotmail ,outlook on other mac. What can we do to avoid this and to have mails on several mac PC's.

Hello hi ya' doin',

I'm running Thunderbird 115.7.0 IMAP on a laptop with Win10Home. I also have an iPhone and iPad.

Normally when I open Thunderbird on the laptop it asks for my password, even before I check/send mail. A few days ago it stopped asking for the password, and will check for mail without asking for the password. Sending mail still asks for the password. Mail sends/receives on all devices and on webmail.

How do I get Thunderbird to prompt me for my password when I open the program, or at least before I check for mail?

My Gmail account opens fine in Chrome. Thunderbird can't get to it; it says my password is incorrect. I have tried it enough times to know I've not typed them all incorrectly.

I'm baffled, all help gratefully received.

Hi, I did put a sender of a daily newsletter in the address book. I did use "Mark as Not Junk" with every newsletter of that sender in the last couple of months. . But Thunderbird always and every day lists the newsletter as Junk. (the sender is Smithsonian Magazine) So training the Junk filter does not work. How to change this failure of Thunderbird? Thanks for your attention and answer.

I can't get thunderbird to work. Even tho I am putting in the right password, it keeps telling me that it is not right and that I have "imap" problems. I'm not sure what this means nor what to do about it? Please help. Dave [removed phone# from support forum]

Hi, This is shared computer, so I have set up a primary password to access Thunderbird. But If I click "Anuluj" (Polish word for Cancel) - look picture TB1.png, the program still opens, asking me for a password again, but now in English (look picture TB2.png). After denying password twice, the email list shows up in the backgruond while asking for password again. If I deny the password for the third time (look picture TB3.png) I can freely browse all emails there. Any ideas on how to fix this?

bold textFor the second time, T-Bird is demanding a PW for my mail,or at least it seems to be T-Bird. I can access my mail via my Edge Browser but I cannot get beyond the demand for a PW that I have not assigned!

I'd really like the ability to whitelist a domain rather than add an email address to the address book. I work with booking websites that create unique email addresses for each booking and they keep ending up in spam. I'd like to be able to whitelist the domain they're coming from instead of trying to train the spam cannon that they are not an issue.

I don't want any passwords in order to access emails. There are no saved passwords or primary passwords in my settings, but I am still asked to enter one to access emails. How do I completely rid myself of ALL passwords?

WTF did you guys do? I updated today, and now it's asking for passwords continually, and it's not even showing all the emails. I've entered passwords for each account 3 times already and it won't stop asking.

How do I get the previous version back?
