Thunderbird Community Forum

The ad says AOL on top. then activate your license now with a McAfee Logo, then antivirus software needs your attention. Your credit card has failed update it now. With a Login for AOL. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled, ran all the antivirus apps I have and still no luck. Should I just uninstall the app and then go into AppData and delete the Thunderbird Folder?

Each time Thunderbird downloads incoming downloads, the graphic below asks for either Deny or Allow. How do I stop this as it irritates me.

Thanks. Barry Eslick [redacted phone# from community support forum]

Folks, this is a rather alarming setting. I’m not sure if this counts as a bug—if it is, please fix it; if not, please explain why. I’d like to know, as it might be reason enough for me to switch to a different email client. Thanks.

I have just tried to look at my emails as I usually do and been stopped by google wanting a lot of information and for me to accept a lot of rules.Why does Google have a finger in everything when i thought I was dealing with Mozilla Firefox?

メールソフト（サンダーバード）受信時にアカウントが赤文字でビックリマークが表示されるようになった。そしてセキュリティの例外を承認しますかURL　imap.●●●●●.com:143 他のサイトの証明書ですと表示されるようになった。セキュリティの例外は認証は今までも新規アカウントの登録の時には常に出ていたので 承認していたが、このようなメッセージとは出ることはなかった。 今回急にビックリマークとメッセージが出るようになったが、対応の必要はあるのか

I have a laptop with win 11. Thunderbird gives the "managed by an organisation message" which seems to be related to bitdefender, which i don't have on the laptop and don't even know f I ever did - maybe I copied it over from Thunderbird on my PC?

See screenshot - the programme Everything flags up various bitdefender stuff, but won't let me delete them. What should I do?

From the day when I started using Thunderbird Mail client, from that moment only, McAfee is notifying me after every 5 seconds of a Trojan Threat

C:\Users \Pankaj Jain \ AppData \ Local \ Temp\ Trojan:Win / SuspiciousAttachmentScript.a

And the moment I uninstalled Thunderbird it stopped notifying it. And then I reinstalled it, same started happening. It hijacks the system and if I am writing, it stops that and wants me to see that notification (which all antiviruses wants to). Even worse is that I cant find any setting in McAfee to stop this notification.

I am frustrated now. Can you help on this?

I received an email from Thunderbird (my email provider) wanting me to join the Early Bird Beta but their link to pay with PayPal didn't work so they requested I add a new credit card. I use PayPal often so I know my card on file with PayPal is OK. Seemed odd to me for their request. I could forward their email to me if needed. Looks like they are using Paddle.com Market Limited.

Yesterday, Oct 6, at 3:20 pm, tbird was unable to download messages from my att server. The error message is "The certificate for inbound.att.net does not come from a trusted source". Nothing that I know of has changed when I look at the account settings.

Do I need to contact Att/Yahoo? If so, how can I describe what to tell them, as I have no knowledge of certificates and how they work (or don't work).

Bonjour,

Il semblerait que mon compte Thunderbird soit piraté. Tous les messages que je reçois sont précédés de la mention "[hotmailerrr_bot] Security Alert: " En dessous apparait un écran noir sur lequel est écrit: "This mail was moved to your cloud lounge" suivi d'un texte faisant la promotion d'un "Premium Cloud". Le message original ne peut pas être lu et si il y a une pièce jointe, elle est éliminée.

Ce problème est-il connu ? Y a-t-il une solution ?

Remerciements

All of a sudden I am getting repeated messages as below:

"Connection error. The certificate for imap.shaw.ca does not come from a trusted source. Click to open server security settings."

Not sure why, as things have been worker well. Checked settings all are configured correctly.

What now?

Explain the problem I have already described!! - When I try to read an e-mail a 'box' appears saying 'Thunderbird: The certificate for imap.shaw.ca does not come from a trusted source'--What is this for?? _ Yesterday an e-mail I sent to several contacts showed as 'Sent' BUT did not register in my 'Sent' folder ----I had to phone England to check that they had received the e-mail, which they had. Today I was able to send e-mails & they were recorded in my 'sent' folder BUT the other problem still persists. Please advise if there is something that can be done to correct this problem. Thank you Phyllis M.

I have a trojan in one of my emails. Every time I start TB McAfee catches the bug. I cannot find it. What processes does TB execute while loading. I want to be able to isolate the the bug. What tools can I use in TB to help with this.

As an 80 year old woman of sound mind and competent in most things I still struggle with AI & IT! Can anyone advise or help me restore my system with or without my original email? Do I have to change it, change my provider or start again with everything changed? Thank you for any help.

Hi, Will there ever be a functioning option to set up a primary password that aborts the start up if not provided with the correct password. Still in 2026, hitting cancel gives access to all already synced emails. Please, soon!

Recently purchased a new HP laptop. And installed my ZoneAlarm without issue. Then downloaded Thunderbird and installed it. On opening ZA went berserk constantly alerting every few seconds saying there was a Bot. See attached screenshot from the last instance of this. Deleted Thunderbird and the problem disappeared. Was the problem actually caused by Thunderbird and have you any idea what was trying to access the website in the screenshot and what the website is that it was trying to access?
