Thunderbird Support Forum

Outlook Mail no longer working on TB. I am using the latest Supernova update. Had to revert to POP which I prefer not to do. Is anyone else experiencing same? Hope this can be resolved.

I had a crash in Kubuntu 22.04 with Thunderbird (up to date 115, German language). I set a Master password for Thunderbird. I installed then Kubuntu and Thunderbird again and Thunderbird without Master Password. I have a backup of the private email key (*-secret.asc exported from Thunderbird!), but it is not possible to import the private key. All I get is „Failure File can not be imported“. What is the problem and how to solve it? I did new installations (without master password) before and it worked. It’s a really big big problem for the email system if the (Backup) keys can not be imported after crashes or new installation of the system.

i am trying to access my gmail mail but cannot put my password in. went to your help but in -- account settings -- SMTP server -- authentication method -- it will not show OAth option. have checked cookies settings etc but nothing ????

I have tried for years to get my main email address to work in thunderbird. I have 3 email accounts, two work great but my main one creber887@sbcglobal.net just keeps giving me server errors. I have no problems in firefox on yahoo. It is frustrating. It happens in windows and linux. Please help. Clark Creber

I used the add on "full address column." Today's update silently removed the add on and does not provide any obvious replacement for showing the senders email address in the main email window. Why are you helping spammers to get their way ? This is extremely frustrating and I might have to look for an alternative email client. Seeing the senders email usually makes detecting spam emails a lot easier. The "Correspondents" column is in most cases misleading.

Best Regards.

Bonjour,

Je cherche à archiver une partir de mes messages à l'extérieur de mon ordinateur sur un support que je veux conserver pour pouvoir y retourner facilement .

Y a-t-il une procédure simple adapté aux ignares informatiques dont je suis :-) ?

Trying to forward an e-mail from the UK National Health Service results in message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Message detected as spam. [1709223430-338018].. Please check the message and try again.

How do I overcome what is obviously incorrect feedback? My TB mail client and server did not detect anything during receipt. There do not appear to be any client-based TB detection tools where I can identify suspect content or the particular server.

I have been locked ot of TBird (due to a lost Primary Password) for so long that most of the stored passwords are no longer relevant. I need to start over with a new copy of TBird on my PC - can anyone please give me detailed instructions?

Hello,

I want to install a lock on my mailbox. I thought two factor authentication is the best way to do so. However, I do not see any info about 2fa and Thunderbird. What I do see is: info about Open PGP key and S-MIME certificats to encrypt messages. I think both adds to security, however, it appears to me that the 2fa is the real lock and encrypting messages is useful in case the lock hasn't worked well: the messages can be read by a third person, but not understood. Is that right? And do I understand it correctly that there's no 2FA option for thunderbird? Is encrypting messages as safe and convenient as 2FA?

Hopefully someone could help me out...I'm a non-techie as you might already assume;), hopefully this can be taken into account..

Thanks! Simone

I would like to access the emails I received and sent under an account that no longer exists. All the data is still local, in my profile and I can see a partial preview of the messages when I run a search in TB, but double-clicking on one of those only returns a blank page. What's the best way to read those ghost messages ? Thank you for your help,

Hi,

Tl;dr: how to convert pgp public keys to a csr and vice versa for the generated Certificate

Since K9 and Thunderbird are about to merge I wanted to point out here that i have difficulties using a S/MIME Certificate in the PKDS 12 format on my phone. The OpenKeychain app required just can't import it. I need to use a Certificate that got signed by my company. So even if I generate a PGP pubkic key with open keychain I don't get how i would turn that into a CSR that I could send to the it Department. Has anyone else had the same issue?

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.

Hi There I'm unable to recieve emails from booking.com to the info@teanaulodge.co.nz we are promted to reset our password. It appears that they have been blocked from our mail server, is there anyone you can search our spam boxes for mail from booking.com? noreply@booking.com Thanks, Kym

I've received a message from Google saying "We’re writing to let you know that starting September 30, 2024, your Gmail, Contact and Calendar account will no longer support less secure apps, third-party apps or devices that ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password."

Will this have any effect on my Thunderbird usage? Many thanks
