I had TB on my desktop for years and finally got it also synced to my phone. Then with a failure with Windows 11 had to wipe clean the desktop and start over. Cannot reinstall TB. I obviously have the correct e-mail and password as I was able to log into Mozilla and submit this question. I believe it is a problem with my user name and what is on my phone setup does not work with my desktop reinstallation.

Thunderbird 148+ on Windows 11 repeatedly prompts for the password when synchronizing an Exchange account (professional) configured with the native Exchange support (no add-on installed).

The account only offers “NTLM” or “Normal password” authentication methods. OAuth2 is not available in the account settings.

During synchronization, Thunderbird asks for the password separately for many folders. However, clicking “Retry” usually works immediately without changing the password, and manually re-entering the same password also works.

The issue then reappears for the next folder, causing continuous authentication prompts (I have many folders...).

Actions already tested:

• deleting saved passwords and tokens,
• deleting/renaming key4.db and logins.json,
• restarting Thunderbird,
• recreating the account.

The problem persists.

This looks like an authentication/session handling issue rather than an actual invalid password.

As so many have experienced, but I have yet to find the actual solution, I will bring up the issue.

I recently purchased a new computer. Installed Thunderbird, created all the mail accounts I have and... no problems. All the accounts, once created, populated with emails. For 3-4 days, there were no issues.

Important to note: I let TB use all the default settings. And once everything was up and running >>>>I did not change anything<<<<<.

Then a few days later, I started getting the following messages for two accounts that had migrated from q.com to myctl.net. Entering the 100% proven-correct password results in the know endless-loop of entering the password and the same pop-up error message. The PW is 100% correct as I can go to Centurylinks' website and login using that same, exact password and read my emails.

I've spent enough time trying all the suggestions here, reddit, facebook etc so I'd thought I'd see if anyone has actually found a solution.

I have Thunderbird on my Win 11 Pro Laptop and on my Samsung Android phone. My primary email account works fine on both devices. My secondary account with the domain name otakorp.org works fine on the Android Thunderbird app, but when I try to set it up on the Windows version it sees that it's a gmail server and sets both incoming and outgoing servers to Oauth2 authentication, but generates an unspecific error (see included image). Any suggestions?

Dear people at Mozilla Thunderbird Email: Please STOP sending me emails to solicit access to my Google account. I receive enough junk mail without these solicitations; be decent and erase me from your list. I will appreciate that, instead to being irritated with the continuous pop-ups you are sending me.

3 дня назад перестали приходить письма - вышла ошибка авторизации. Пароль точно верный (через браузер все работает) и работает Thunderbird на другом ПК. Снес мозиллу, касперского, пробую заново создать почту, не дает, смотрите скриншот 1. Потов выдает ошибку смотрите скриншот 2. Вообще не могу понять что не так! На другом ПК все работает. переносил профиль с другого ПК на свой все тоже самое - ошибка авторизации. Куки разрешены, в исключения gmail.com добавил в Thunderbird Куда копать, что искать?

Cannot access Tbird on PC, but have done so using Outlook; and Tbird Outlook & Samsung mail on mobile. Gmail: some new messages and those quite old are accessible. See Screenshot. iinet: nothing accessible. See Screenshot. The password used to access on webmail works there but is not working in Tbird on thePC. Three technicians have attempted and myself have attempted to rectify. A primary password was used earlier, this has been unsuccessfully tried. It isn't required now. I fear this may be the problem but don't know how to rectify.

When I checked the box to Require a Primary Password, I did not know this was an always and forever thing. I have found out that it is an every time I open my email in Thunderbird. I can not undo it. Is there not a way to get around this?

I have a new computer and I am loading my email accounts into TB. One of them loaded perfectly but the outlook account has been trouble. I have read several forum questions/answers and tried all of the suggestions with no help. I will attach a screen print of the page I get when prompted to enter password credentials. I cannot go further until I can get TB and Outlook to communicate so I need help. I don't want to use Outlook as an email server if possible.

Hi, I'm surprised to find that by clicking several times on 'annull' on Tb sign-in, anyone using my PC gets access to my mails. The only way i've found to protect my mails is the password on Windows lock screen. I'd like to protect my mails as with other accounts eg Firefox password.

How can I change my email password in Thunderbird ??? - my account password has been deleted in Thunderbird and I wish to re-enter a new password. Please reply to [edited email from community support forum] @gmail.com

Login problem after Thunderbird 148.0 (64-bit) (update) as a client for Yahoo accounts - Google accounts continued to work without problems after the update. Yahoo accounts can now only be accessed via the website. A new app password generated in the Yahoo account is not accepted in the Thunderbird browser window, nor is the original password. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When I try retrieving my email from my AOL account (IMAP) using Thunderbird and Windows 11 I get the message "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.aol.com." This account was working fine for months until the T-bird update. I have several other accounts on T-Bird, including Gmail and others, and they're still working just fine.

I have double-checked all the account settings and tried deleting the AOL account from T-Bird and setting it up again from scratch, but the problem persists.

Please help!

Many thanks.
