Hi.,

 Cox cable just discontinued their email server and moved all it's email accounts to Yahoo.

I had been using Thunderbird successfully with Cox for several months before this happened.

 I am able to send and receive emails now via my new online Yahoo server;  however I have not

been able to connect / use Thunderbird to send and receive emails since the Yahoo changeover. I have tried many things, but I either get a "failed" error message or a "timed out" error message. Yahoo support has not been able to figure this one out. They are hard to get a hold of and hard to understand (communicate with). They are overseas from the US.

 I appreciate any help you can offer.

Kind regards, Ken

My Thunderbird Quit working this morning. Apparent OAUTH2 Problem.

Windows 10. Thunderbird 115.7.0 32-bit. Email address is at hotmail.com, so it's an old account that's now at outlook.com This is a personal email account not related to any business nor to Office 365 or anything like that. I have had the account for decades.

Thunderbird quit working with my hotmail account this morning. It goes into an Invalid Password Loop, even when I respond with the correct password. I can logon to my hotmail account just fine with a browser. It's just not the same positive user experience as using Thunderbird.

I'm sure the problem must have to do with OAUTH2.

The outgoing SMTP server is outlook.com Server name is imap-mail.outlook.com Port is 993 Connection security is SSL/TLS Authentication method is Normal Password

Changing Authentication method to OAuth2 does not solve the problem. Instead I get a popup error message that's very hard to capture that is to the effect that "The imap server imap-mail.outlook.com does not support the selected authentication message". It's like I need to use a different imap server. I found one site that said to use outlook.office365.com but I don't really use office365. I may give that a try anyway.

I don't see any other account settings that seem relevant

I had a crash on my desktop PC, possibly due to an erroneous action of mine, which occurred on December 20th, which has ended with my PC, which after entering the password, the screen locks to black.

I turned to my laptop as a salvation, but when I tried to open my email, for which I use Mozilla Thunderbird, at first I opened the home page, but my email accounts did not appear. Currently, it doesn't even open that page when you tap on that desktop icon.

I'm an 80-year-old male and I'm getting more and more clumsy with the SW of the PC, so I pray that if you can help me it's in a language for the very clumsy in computer matters. I don't speak English so this is automatically translated, so I would appreciate it if you could help me in Spanish to restore my email accounts, since I am no longer used to using Web mail.

My PC is an HP Pavilion x360 -14-cd0018ns, I5 core 8th Gen. / W10 home/ HD ext. 3TB for data.

Thanks a lot. PLOK.

I have a personal family domain, with email service - my provider supplies me with a number of pop3/smtp addresses.

I have a Thunderbird a/c setup on a desktop running Linux Mint, thgunderbird version 115.5.0 (64-bit) SUPERNOVA using one of the pop3/smtp addresses - husbandATmydomain.me.uk and I receive emails from another of the domain's pop3/smtp addresses, sent by my wife from a Windows 10 laptop using Thunderbird, under the address wifeATmydomain.me.uk

Her Thunderbird a/c is correctly set up in her Thunderbird, to use the smtp server for her email address, wifeATmydomain.me.uk. There are no other addresses or identities set up on her thunderbird account. My thunderbird a/c is correctly set up to use the smtp server for husbandATmydomain.me.uk and has several other pop3/smtp addresses able to send addresses using their own smtp servers.

In MY Thunderbird address book my wife's address is given as wifeATmydomain.me.uk, with the display name "wifefirstname surname".

When I receive an email sent by my wife, to me, it appears in my Inbox with the Correspondents column showing MY name not hers. This means I am constantly missing emails from her. because her name is not visible in Correspondents column, but mine is there instead.

The Reply To: and From: addresses are correctly given as wifeATmydomain.me.uk when I examine the receive email details. It is only displayed with MY NAME, in the Correspondents column in the Message list header pane, using Classic View. Everything about her emails displays correctly in Message View, using Full Headers display.

The only thing I could find in research was to make sure her a/c was using the correct smtp server. It is.

How can I fix this please?

Since some time when I start up Thunderbird I get a popup:

"Add Security Exception" + "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site"

In forums it was stateed this can be due to the antivirus program. I am using Acronis Cyber Protect Home. I closed Thunderbird, pauzed the real time protection and started up Thunderbird again: this did not solve the issue: I still get the pop up, see image attached.

Is there a way to analyse the origin of this pop up? What's triggering this pop up in Thunderbird?

Thx!

I very very recently upgraded to Windows 11, but even though I have Firefox and Thunderbird running with no problem, when I click on an email address on a website, instead of going to Thunderbird, I get some Windows email app that I never saw when just a month ago when I was still using windows 10 clicking on an email address would bring me right to Thunderbird. How can I get Windows 11 to use Thunderbird and only Thunderbird. I am not a techie, so if you know a solution, please be as clear as possible. Thank you.

I'm very confused. I've been using Thunderbird as my email server for a few years. Recently, I stopped receiving emails December 12, 2023. I sent in a problem according to the help page that I found. I believe Mozilla is now the server for Thunderbird? I don't even know if that is accurate (part of my confusion). I followed prompts and confirmed my email address, apparently I now have a user name. I still can't send or receive emails. Can you help. I need step-by-step instructions, please.
