Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

TB is hung up on my late husband's computer and none of the suggestions made has released it. Current advisors are Windows people and this is an old Mac Mini running OS 10.13. One of your advisors solved a similar problem two years ago and David told me I could open that message by clicking on Robert as question originator. Please email mr at X@perless.com if you have comments or questions.

i can still see my email folders but these popups appear for each email account in thunderbird (mac osx high sierra) never saw them before so seems something has been compromised? tried to screencap but it's only showing about: url but urls zip by and was able to catch the url a few times earlier but not now.

my accounts are valid this is a new problem just appearing for first time ever

"thunderbird is up to date" for mac os x high sierra

This is Ellen. I tried restarting Robert's ( my late husband) computer after it crashed and I got the message about Thunderbird's inbox folder not being able to be opened because it is in use by some other operation. It is an old Mac Mini running 10.13 and it says TB is 115.18.0. I don't update it because I don't think his OS can handle anything newer. I just looked and my Mini with an M1 chip (4 y/o?) is running 140. something.

How do I get it to quit whatever it is hung up on? His email is coming in ok on my iPhone.

Robert was a sculptor who made large kinetic works and a lot of his work is still on this computer.

Please help me get out of this mess. I think it has happened before.

Ellen

duplicate of /questions/1587098 thread

My late husband's oid Mac Mini crashed during a power outage. Firefox is fine but TB says that the inbox is being used by another something and to wait to use it. I can't open it. I keep this computer active because his artworks and videos are on it. And I feel that he is still here if his computer is. You can also reach me at [edited email from community support forum]. I need to get in. Should I just restart? Or will it take more? I do get Robert's email on my iPhone and it is coming in.

I recently moved from Microsoft Outlook email to Apple icloud email. icloud allows you to create an application-specific password, which I did for email. It works; I can login to email on Thunderbird using my (impossible to remember long) password automatically generated by Apple. I switched the Thunderbird server settings to OAuth, but unlike with Outlook, there was no popup saying a restart of Tbird is required. When I quit Tbird and restarted, it did not prompt for a pw, but neither did it get any new messages. (I sent new messages from another email service to verify.)

I also noticed that OAuth2 was not an available option for the outgoing server, as it was with Outlook.

Does OAuth2 not work with icloud email?

There appears to be no way to change the app-specific icloud pw in Apple, but I will take that up with Apple.

Perhaps the workaround is to use the Tbird saved pw feature?

Suddenly Thunderbird is trying to access a non existing icloud email account. I have never used icloud and no such account is listed in Thunderbird. Yet it keeps asking for the required password. Again, no such account, or password have ever been given to Thunderbird. Trying to disable icloud goes nowhere as it doesn't recognize any passwords. 115.18

For the past 3 years I have not been able to send emails using either "@me.com" or "@icloud.com". All other providers such as "@gmail.com" and "@outlook.com" work perfectly. The only exception to this is when an email sent to me using my account name can it be used to respond. I assume therefore that there is an error in my settings for the SMTP server are wrong.

The SMTP server settings allowed in the TBird settings are as follows:

Description: user choice (I have tried my forename and the word "Apple" - no difference) Server name: smtp.mail.me.com or smtp.mail.icloud.com (either should be accepted) Port: 587 or 465

Connection security: None, STARTTLS, or SSL/TLS Authentication method: No Authentication, Normal password, Encrypted password, Kerberos/GSSAPI or NTLM

user name: my name (my name)

The message I get when I try to send a email with any combination of the above is "Login to server imap.mail.me.com with username xxxxxxxxxxxx failed."

I have other accounts listed in TBird. None of them have this issue.

Both Firefox and Thunderbird are up to date (115.31.0 for FF and 115.18.0 for TB)

Can you please advise me on this. It has been an issue for the 3 years or so. As I use the Apple account for family members only it is particularly frustrating!

After the latest update, I no longer get a scroll bar appearing (on the right-hand side) of the message pane. How do I get it back? And yes, I have many, many more messages in my inbox than there is room to display in a single pane. Thanks,
