I have two Tbird accounts pmcreativeservices@rcn.com has been mine for 20 years, and it's what I use for bills, banking, etc. The other account is PatriciaRosemoor@rcn.com and is only used to collect messages that come from my author website. Yesterday, I got a message from someone who tried but couldn't put a book up at Amazon and asked if there was something I could do about it. My trying to send her a message via the PatriciaRosemoor account is what started requests for my Primary Password. One a minute after I cancelled the last one. I tried the two passwords I knew I had, but neither worked. I got a request for a new password so I did that and it didn't work either. I kept going back to it all day yesterday uselessly. I found directions of what to do online, but it didn't match up with my Settings information. Please, if you can tell me how to fix this, I would be grateful. Or, if I can keep the thousands of emails I probably have, I could try deleting the account and recreating the account. The problem would be how to bring all my saved emails back. Thank you for your help. Patricia

When I launched Tbird this morning, I got a message, "account.google.com needs you to confirm access again to help syncing with your account. Username: [redacted]@gmail.com" When I click OK, it says Tbird wants access to be able to access and edit/download/delete my contacts and calendars, which access I'm not willing to grant. So when I click Cancel, it says Sign-in couldn't be completed, and now I'm unable to send email. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? In dire straits----- Dave

I have used Thunderbird for years but mid windows 10 I started having this problem I have all my user name & Password in a note pad for all places I go to.I'm on Winddows11 home.Also I can't sign in so I can;t Tell you what Version I have.

I cannot sign in. My login information is 100% correct. I just created the email a week or so ago so I assume i have the latest version. I signed in a few days ago with no issue. I tried clearing cache. Not sure where to go from here.

I have thunderbird emails but lost my passwords so I cannot gain access to them.

The accounts are: business1st.org [redacted] @business1st.org [redacted] @business1st.org

Please use phone/text [redacted] or email [redacted] @icloud.com I am at 88 years so I look forward to your help.

For whatever reason, although I've had this account for years and regularly contribute I always get this page at startup begging me for more money and even if I donate, I can't get past the begging page.

I am now locked out of the account. No login info works and I'm unable to access years of emails

I have not changed my password since I opened the account and frankly I am as aggravated and pissed off as can be. I can't get to do anything at all but read the page begging me for money even after I just made another contribution and although I haven't changed any login info I keep getting the login failed message

Ich habe mir heute das Programm installiert und beim Einloggen werde ich nach meinem Namen, meiner Emailadresse und nach meinem Emailpasswort gefragt, doch leider wird mir immer ein Fehler angezeigt! Ich habe jedoch alle Daten auf ihre Korrektheit überprüft und kann keine Fehleingabe finden.

For some time now two Thunderbird Icons have displayed in my Windows task bar. One opens the program I have used for years as normal but the other opens a sign-in screen requiring a user name and password. Today only one version appears and that is the sign in screen. After a lot of steps -including a request for Thunderbird to access my Google account I finally got access to the two e-mail accounts I keep on "my" Thunderbird but the display is far harder to read than the earlier one. After I exited the program I found to re-open it I got the same log-on screen??? How can I access the Mozilla program I am familiar with?

I set up a new email and must have done something wrong. I'm getting this message: he STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Username and password not accepted.

What do I do?

I update Thunderbird/linux to v.130 over a year ago, implementing oath2 with gmail. I do NOT want to do more updates because with each previous update I lose desired capabilities; I did this update only because of gmail's authorization requirements.

Worked fine for a while and then I started getting "authorization error" messages and could no longer access this account with Thunderbird. I have over 20gb of stored messages on my computer and do not want to do anything that will jeopardize this -- I generally delete all messages at the server. Google is of no help other than suggesting deleting and then somehow restarting the account. No. Someone suggested switching the account from oauth2 to password and then switching back again, but I am reluctant to do anything that might lose my messages. I can backup the entire profile, of course, but that just gets me back to where I was.

I went through the reauthorization process with gmail, including getting the 6-digit code, but the error still exists. I've been forwarding mail in this account to another account, but I'd rather go back to the REAL account. Help!

Is there any way to communicate with Mozilla ThunderBird  ? It worked for over 10 years, but now won't even Install. Has there been some sort of Sabotage ? Why the strange error messages  ? Continous mandates to change usernames and passwords ?
