Thunderbird Support Forum

I am on a new install of windows 11 (from new windows 10). I can log into Gmail on the browser(Firefox) fine. I set allowing cookis and all the other stuff I could find but I can NOT get gmail to work.

Also when I try to send an email (new message) it comes up with Newgroup where the recipient email should be

Hello, I am trying to log into my thunderbird account from my home computer and it gives me this error message that maybe my username or password are wrong but I am sure it is correct . Can ou please help me

Hi....I had to help my dad with his email and I needed to log into the server and of course he didn't remember his password so I had to change it on the server. Now of course his Thunderbird client can no longer connect. I have tried a place where I should change it but I cant find it. All articles I have googled talk about clicking on Saved Passwords but when I do that nothing is shown in the list box.

Hi Guys Thanks Matt for your quick reply,the specs will be sent as soon as possible. However I cant do anything on thunderbird without a password,this is keeps asking me for. I have tried every password I have ever had,currently use or possibly will use ,I feel this is the basic problem at present. Would or could you reset the password at your end and send it to me for entry Thanks again Bruce

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 am working on both a Windows 10 computer and on a MacOS 10.15.7 I believe - I do not have it in front of me right now).

Getting my profile from the Win-version over to the Mac-version was ok enough. Just irritating that I had to enter all passwords again.

But it did not bring my encryption certs over. So I have been trying to export and import, but it will not work. I am pretty sure I am missing something very obvious (and probably something really easy for others), but I am kinda stuck.

P.S. Ideally, we should be able to store our complete profile anywhere we want and it should be possible for two computers to use it at the same time. Then I could choose my own server somewhere to be my storage and have both computers use same settings. This should of course not include emails as that is done via IMAP, so it is already shared. But the profile with accounts, passwords and encryption keys should be part of it.

We have different email accounts that we use on various devices. One account (which used to work), will now not send from my mac. The other accounts send from this mac and I can send from the problem account on my android phone and ipad. It also works fine if I log in to gmail's website.

The problem account receives emails fine.

It says that my password is wrong, but I've tried many times to put in the correct password but nothing changes. I've even tried changing the password but still the same outcome.

It used to work fine and then one day just decided it didn't want to anymore. The only way round it is to save it to drafts and then send it on another device.

I'm using Thunderbird 78.14.0 (64-bit) which my about says is up to date. The problem computer is Mac OS 10.9.5. Yes I know it's old, but as I say the other accounts run fine.

If anyone can suggest something to try can you please write in laymans terms.

Thank you.

Can one have Thunderbird with the following privacy rights? • Erase my Personal Data now and in future; • Cease the processing of my Personal Data from the moment it begins; • Restrict the processing of my Personal Data from the moment it begins; • Do not sell or transfer otherwise my Personal Data to any third party at any time, including Amazon, for example. Is there a way to have Thunderbird and one's privacy rights respected? Perhaps installing Thunderbird without its email function? Please advise. I would have no objection to the entire Thunderbird array of apparently wonderful parts should what reads in its Privacy terms document as fast and loose personal data collection and flinging about -- with all due respect to all of you otherwise.

Links have been going through linklock for some time. Starting today, every one of those is blocked with a bad certificate error from BitDefender. How to stop links in Thunderbird emails from using linklock? I would like to directly to the website.

I am unable to login to my Thunderbird email account. I was told by my Skybest support team that they would have you call me with the PASSWORD that will allow me to log in. My phone number is 336-200-2068. Thank you!

I have an associate who has Thunderbird 91.8 on Windows 11. She has a Google Apps email account in our TM.org domain and has been unable to get it set up in Thunderbird.

Failure to authenticate imap.gmail.com when setting up a new account. Tried pretty much everything the troubleshooting posts have suggested, cookies, etc. Talked with Google Support (it's a google apps email account). Attaching the settings for the incoming server. Have checked and verified the password and email address.

Really would appreciate some help.

Thanks, Jim

I am not receiving any messages in my SPAM folder in Thunderbird. When I open my email account using either Blue Mail or GMX web all of my SPAM messages are there.

How do I resolve this?

Unable to send emails using my normal provider (Cox.net) Discussions with their help desk stated that Cox recently changed their Security protocol from SSL to something else. did not catch the new protocol. Has anyone heard or this or been effected.
