After upgrading to TB 68.4.1 I could not read/write e-mails anymore. The error message is "The IMAP server does not support the selected authentication method". The log file shows
[(null) 18264: Unnamed thread 23287970]: D/IMAP try to log in [(null) 18264: Unnamed thread 23287970]: D/IMAP IMAP auth: server caps 0x4484421, pref 0x1006, failed 0x0, avail caps 0x0 [(null) 18264: Unnamed thread 23287970]: D/IMAP (GSSAPI = 0x1000000, CRAM = 0x20000, NTLM = 0x100000, MSN = 0x200000, PLAIN = 0x1000, LOGIN = 0x2, old-style IMAP login = 0x4, auth external IMAP login = 0x20000000, OAUTH2 = 0x800000000) [(null) 18264: Unnamed thread 23287970]: D/IMAP no remaining auth method [(null) 18264: Unnamed thread 23287970]: E/IMAP login failed entirely
So, no authentication method was even selected.
I have created a new appdata Thunderbird folder. Now I can define an exception for my certificate in the settings - without specifying the port. The downloaded certificate has the wrong port number however (should be 143 but is 443). When reading e-mails another certificate with the correct port is downloaded which I can confirm, and the e-mails are read correctly. However when restarting Thunderbird the above error message comes again and I have to repeat the procedure by first deleting the certificate and then defining an exception for it.
My questions: - How can I tell Thunderbird to accept my certificate without defining an exception in the settings? This was not required before the update. - How can I define the certificate exception in a way to get the correct port that persists after restarting Thunderbird?

How do I eliminate Beta profile so earlier TB will run

For some unknown reason, my old TB was updated to Beta version 73. One of the problems was that bcc. was restricted to one person per email. I thought that by downloading version 68, everything might return to normal. Instead when trying to open TB, I get the message below. Now neither version of TB will open.
How do I revert to my old version of TB (the one before Beta reared it's ugly head).
If that is not possible, how do I eliminate the Beta profile, which I can't see, so that version 68 will open?

I recently updated Thunderbird to 68.4.1 (32 bit). My calendar and tasks have since not functioned properly. I am very limited in what I can do (for example, there is no right-click--add calendar, there's no right-click anything). The events from my google calendar show up, but I can't add anything new to either google-based calendars or the home calendar. The items on the Event and Tasks drop down menu are all grayed out, excepting viewing the calendar or tasks. The viewable events on the calendar are no longer color coded by calendar. I can double-click to view separate events, but when I press Save, nothing happens.
Under the Tasks tab, I can see the tasks I've previously created, but cannot add anything, nor check any off.
Email is unaffected, as far as I can tell.

The normal route of clicking on write email >format>text colour used to go to a drop down menu where you simply clicked on the colour on a large ball. Now it has a silly drop down which stays on black whatever you do. Why do developers mess up things that have functioned the same way for years successfully?

I didn't realize there was no official technical support for Thunderbird. Thank you for anyone who takes time to respond. Someone hacked into a personal email and used Thunderbird to synch and possibly download to their computer. I would like to see if POP vs IMAP was used. If I changed my email password to original account (earthlink) and they only used IMAP, would that mean they no longer have access to the old messages that they had previously synched and viewed through Thunderbird? Or would that only prevent them from viewing new emails - post change of earthlink passcode?

Hello. I don't know but having just had to redownload the latest Thunderbird after a self-inflicted (partly) computer crash, I have set up my 3 email accounts via POP (2 Gmail and 1 main/BT one). I then went through settings to check settings for junk, keeping messages on server and so on. BUT for some inexplicable reason, I can no longer see the option for moving deleted messages ... into a folder I created for each account called, artistically,. deleted. It used to be there as an option along with all the other folder type stuff but where is it hidden now please ... or is it simply a question of "should have gone to Specsavers!" lol
Thank you. Nick
Tags : colorize background instead of text

Hi, I found this old solution to make your tagged mails stand out more by colorizing the background instead of the text: https://www.twistermc.com/1143/thunderbird-labels/ However, it's more than a decade old and it seems the add-on system has changed so that you can't do it anymore (unless I'm missing something). Is there a more recent solution or, in case not, is there still a way to make this one work ?

I Love ThunderBird...its by far the best mail program....I just updated to the latest version 68.1 and everything came across just fine and i was able to get one of my very important add ons....Import/Export tools. However the other vital add on Theme and font changer is not available for this version. The size of the menus is so small as to be almost impossible to read on a small laptop. Any chance of an updated version the the Theme and Font Add On? Thanks

When I try to send email, I get a message saying : "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Authentication required. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." I have gone into Account Settings and my email address is correct there. I hadn't changed anything in the settings before this started happening. Before that, I had used Thunderbird for years with no issue. Why are the settings wrong all of a sudden? How can I fix this, please?

I'm a long-time Thunderbird user. Currently on my Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2019) using Mojave. I live in a remote area - on DSL - but I can typically download audiobooks in 10-15 minutes. This has been hours. I tried shutting down and starting over but the spinner never stopped. I can see what I think must be the new template but no restoration of content.
68.4 has just removed my essential manual sort of folders.
FIX IT OR I WALK! It is ESSENTIAL. My folders are all in an utterly useless order now! How do I get my grouped folders back together again?

A.lightning strike took out my router recently and my new Netgear unit created its own network (?) causing log in problems with a couple of my regular sites. Not sure if the problem is being caused by or something else, but after days of trying to solve the problem, I’m turning to you guys for help. Is there a way to clear the decks and create brand new passwords for both TB and FF? Many thanks for your help.

I am in the process of switching from Windows (Windows 10 convinced me of this ) to Linux (Ubuntu).
I've went to tools, and display password, And it displayed it as it is supposed to. My problem here is that when I enter the information into my Ubuntu/Thunderbird I get tons of errors, and warnings from Google saying my account was being hacked.
Help me out on this please.

Suddenly when I hit 'reply' to a message the new message window 1) does not have the address already filled out and does not show the original message inline, as it should - IMAGE 1 2) if I click on my name in the 'from' field the original message will populate, but I can't write anything - my cursor will not even appear in the message field. IMAGE 2
Even worse, when I try to write a new message I basically can't click on any fields to write the address, subject or text in the body of the message. Only if I click several times can I write the address, but under no circumstances can I write a subject or an actual message!
I have the latest update, have used Thunderbird for over 8 years, everything worked yesterday, I restarted my computer several times, then even installed the lates Mac update - no love!
I did just change the message pane setting so that when I am in my inbox and I highlight a message it doesn't get marked as read (after the last Thunderbird update that started happening) but I can't imagine that has anything to do with it!
I have never installed an add-on.
Thank you, thank you thank you for any help you can offer

TB 68.4.1 32bit
I've been using Box for a few years and it functioned seamlessly until I upgraded to TB 68.4.1. I added Box as an outgoing attachment provider, entered my credentials, and it can see an overview of my Box usage. Whenever I try to convert an attachment to Box either by right-clicking in the attachment window or from the prompt at the bottom of the email it results in the message as above. Obviously I can manually upload to box and paste a link into the email, but the automated system appears to be broken. Bug?
