I need to set up an email for husband (age 88) that I can use to communicate with Social Security & other agencies?

My husband (DG) is 88 and beginning to have severe memory & analysis problems. I recently tried for three days, using his computer, to set up an account for him on the Social Security site, that I could oversee. It accepted a password, but kept asking for a 'backup code' that supposedly was 'assigned' - so I would have a second method to verify the account. There was no way, on that web page, that I could request a 'backup code' or ask for the '10 backup codes' that were supposedly given automatically. I wanted to simply get a letter that explained his SSA eligibility, so we could apply for Senior housing. I was able to call SSA and request the letter - but it will take 14 days by mail. We need it now - and I should have been able to simply download a PDF eligibility letter to print out. In less than 5 minutes, I was able to request and download an eligibility letter for myself on MY SSA account - but could not do it through his SSA account. I need to be able to communicate with SSA (& other agencies) and receive their replies through an email "AccountForDG@centuryxxxxx.net" that I can read in my email account "CuriousQuestor@centuryxxxxx.net). How do I set this up? Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird demands my password for outgoing SMT server when I go to send an email but when I enter it, system won't accept it even though it is the correct password. I have had this problem for some time and it comes and goes. Sometimes I have ebeen able to send without a problem, then it comes back I had a helpful reply from this forum (can't find who posted it - Mick?) tellling me to go into the error console (Ctrl + Shift + J) and delete eveything in that. I tried that. It worked at first, but now when I do it, it has no effect. And the problem now appears to have become permanent, although occasionally after I have been working for some hours, then suddenly I can send without any problem. Problem hasn't budged though for a couple of days now. This is a mysterious and erratic gremlin, which now seems to have taken root. Any suggestions please? Carol

The last message in my inbox was on 9/3/2027. After an update, now all messages are now going into a different folder, which has only one rule, and that is all messages from a specific email address. Just now, all messages from my inbox just emptied into a different folder. I don't know what happened with Message Filtering in the latest update, but I have to turn off filtering.

I've been using Thunderbird on Windows 10 since last year sometime. Currently I'm on version 151.0.1.

I've 4 x mailboxes here and since yesterday, 3 of them show me an unusual message when checking for emails. I tried attaching a screenshot but although the screenshot uploaded, I couldn't find a way to insert it here. But the message says Unable to write the email to the mailbox and asks me to check if I've write privileges (which I have) and to cheek the available disk space.(currently 101GB free).

The message is happening 2 or 3 times each day and lasts for about half an hour, then everything works fine again. Has anyone else seen this??

TB is sending most of my email to the wrong folder. I had 21 message filters, but then I noticed that a lot of things were going to a folder named "bridge" for no apparent reason. I looked at the filter log, but there was nothing in the log for the last few months.

I did have a filter sending certain messages to the "bridge" folder, but TB is sending things there for no reason. I disabled all 21 message filters, and it is still doing it.

I have version 155.0 and I'm using Windows 11 25H2.

How can this be fixed?

この状態でThunderbird側にまだ確認すべき設定がありますか? それともMicrosoft側でSMTP AUTHが無効になっている状態でしょうか?

Hello,

Recently, the manual message check feature has stopped working, whether I use the “Get Messages” button or the menu.

When this feature was still working, I could see the progress of the message retrieval from the server in the status bar; now nothing happens (no display in the status bar and no messages are retrieved).

I should note that this isn’t a connection issue, since new messages are successfully retrieved during periodic checks or when Thunderbird starts up.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?


Thanks!

I paid an expert on Just Answers and he spent over an hour and came back with Spectrum was having issues, they were aware and they were fixing them. I thought the problem was solved, but then it kept on happening. I am losing important documents every day! Please help me!

I use IMAP to grab my mail, if that's important.

In the last couple of days, my normal method of deleting messages from my Inbox, right-clicking on the message and selecting the trash can icon, has stopped working: the message disappears for a moment, then reappears. I can delete it by dragging it to the Trash folder in the folders pane on the left.

I've followed the instructions given in several postings here, including deleting the Trash and trash.msf files, doing that and then creating an empty txt file called Trash (no .txt), and using Repair Folder.

It just now occurred to me to disconnect from the Internet and try to delete a message. It worked fine?!
