Problem with expired/invalid OAuth2 tokens

My organization uses Google Workspaces/GSuite, and my supervisor needs about forty mailboxes on his laptop (macOS Monterey). These are accessed through POP, with OAuth2 authentication.

Previously, when one of these OAuth tokens expired or otherwise became invalid, attempting to check mail on that account would pop up the Google authentication page. Now, it just produces an error message ("The STAT command did not succeed .. Invalid credentials"). In order to re-authenticate to the account, I have to manually go into saved passwords and delete the invalid OAuth token. At that point, attempting to check the mailbox will pop up the authentication page.

Is there a way to make it so that, if Google's server replies with "Invalid credentials", Thunderbird will pop up the authentication page automatically, rather than requiring me to manually delete the invalid token? I searched Config Editor, but didn't see anything obvious.

Thank you for your time.

Hi all, I have two Gmail accounts, one private and one organizational, each one with its own unique problem. I access both accounts through Thunderbird for Windows, the Gmail Android app, and Chrome on my laptop. I use POP to be able to access the emails even when offline and store them in subfolders. I have learned that if I keep the messages marked as unread on the phone and Chrome, TB will download the messages.

1) My private Gmail account downloads only 4-5 messages at a time, and I have to manually hit: "get messages" many times until it downloads all the messages. Very annoying.

2) My organizational Gmail account through the university worked fine and downloaded as many new messages as were on the server. Until May 9th, when it stopped connecting with the Gmail server. It keeps asking me to re-enter the username and password (which it had saved, and hadn't changed), only to claim that Gmail is not accepting cookies. Needless to say that I haven't changed any of my cookies preferences neither on TB (which accepts all cookies) nor on Chrome (which blocked 3rd party cookies, but had an exception for the University's servers). I tried enabling any type of cookie in the account on Chrome, but that didn't help. I tried changing the authentication from password to OAuth2, and it didn't help.

I would appreciate your help. Shahar

I'd like to be able to configure the format of numbered lists, both for a particular list in an email, and as a default template that will apply to all future emails that I compose.

I can find no documentation on how numbered lists are supposed to work. Mine are currently giving me roman numerals at all levels, e.g.

1. Top level

 1.  Next level
   1.  Lower level

I've come across some interesting options, including particularly https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1052897, which I've tried, but it doesn't work for me.

Please help!

Recent update 91.9.1 (32-bit) has seemingly removed "insert link" function. It is no longer in the pull down menu, nor does CTRL+K respond with the entry box for placing a hyperlink in the message.

This has been working fine for me for many years, I know how to do it, so no elementary instructions are necessary. The function is gone, and no way to invoke it.

Windows 10.0.10944; yes, I know I am on a 64-bit platform but the 32-bit version has been running very reliably .. since forever.

I am using Thunderbird 91.9.1. I have imported several calendars from my google account which works really well. What does not work well is trying to import/show my google tasks, they simply appear nowhere. How I tried to import them: Calendar -> New Calendar... -> On the Network -> Entering my google account at Username -> after logging in, only my google calendars are shown, not the tasks.

What am I missing? Thanks!

I'm only seeing the first email in a conversation if I look in the email inbox. I can see the conversation in the search results if I search for a string contained within the email. But if I just look at my emails in the inbox it looks like I never replied to the email and that she never replied to my reply.

Hello,

I have downloaded Thunderbird so I can access all of the emails I have downloaded from my company's past Gmail accounts. How much storage do I get with Thunderbird please?

Also, Once I have imported all of the data will it be saved on my computer or on your server? I wanted a way of doing this that won't be too heavy in my harddrive.

Many thanks,

1. will this wipe out my current version? 2. How do I back up the old version/data so that it is recoverable?

I have things stored in some folders that I really do not want to have to singularly back up to other files and folders, as it would take me about 3 hours to do.

Any help apprecated.
