Thunderbird Community Forum

Came back from an errand earlier this morning and after turning on my Mac again, found that Thunderbird 115.10.1 was prompting me for my username and password at the web page for my account, using a pop-up Safari window. But trying to do that doesn't work because my version of macOS is not supported by Yahoo! Mail anymore.

So I tried deleting the account and adding it back, since this is the very first time it's ever done this, but that doesn't work, either, because Thunderbird still prompts me for the same username and password using the same Safari window that won't work anymore.

Tried updating Thunderbird to 115.16.3, but that makes no difference; still can't send or receive email.

Who's idea was this, and why did nobody consider that web sites have dropped support for many older browsers that can't be upgraded, and give you no option to use a browser of your choice that would work for this, even though it should never be required?

How do I (or others that are affected) solve this problem once and for all?

Hello,

My setup is an old win7

2 days ago I got a power outage. When I turned my PC back on, thunderbird updated itself to 115.16.3 (32 bits) I am not sure which version it previously was.

Anyway, I have 4 profiles, the 3 profiles I was not connected on when the PC crashed are fine, totally unaffected. That should be a hint. My main profile was connected at the time, in fact I was writing an email when the crash occured. When back on I executed thunderbird I chose my main profil. I was immediately prompted with a 'welcome to thunderbird' asking me to input my credencials. I immediately closed TB scanned my disk for issues, checked my profiles folder which appeared to be fine. I indeed have a folder named hnych9cb.default in my %APPDATA%\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles which is was 2.2Go.

Then I had the (bad?) idea to input my credencials as asked thinking it might help TB to connect to the folders/emails inside my profile folder. I did but instead it downloaded and displayed the folders/emails as they are on my email server and now my hnych9cb.default is 3.7Go ....

This is a mess

Is there any way or hint to save the day ?

Is it possible to initiate the same process that discovers the server setting when you add an email account in an already existing email account to avoid making changes in the account manually??

I have 5 accounts registered with FIREFOX (which I will call A, B, C, D and F). The one I am registered with is A. Every new page I open, it opens with account B but I would like it to open on C by default. How can this be done without changing account B to C each time?

I'm trying to connect to my MS Exchange 2019 onsite server to get access to email/calendar.

I can receive emails but cannot send, probably because there's no password field for the smtp server. My Incoming mail is different from the Outgoing mail server hence I need to enter the password. But the only field there is for the username which is never going to work. My Exchange server is set to use SSL/TLS.

This I tried with the Owl addon. But same issue when configured for imap. I need to use my internet provider's smtp server. Everything I need for that is there, except the password field.

Dear,

I have a problem with sending emails via Thunderbird desktop platform. Namely, I have set up a Yahoo account, and set the SMTP authentication method to OAuth2, however I still have the issue with sending emails. There's no problem with receiving emails.

Can you help me please?

Thunderbird version 128.4.3esr (64-Bit): I followed the instructions (tools > export for mobile), but no accounts are shown to be exported to my Android mobile. Following the support link there, I do not see why my account is configured in a way that is not supported by Thunderbird for Android. On my earlier mobile, this account could be used.

I have been trying to connect. I just verified that I followed the directions in:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

I am getting a message I do not see being referenced here. TB is telling me:

"The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account ray@ganymede.org responded: User is authenticated but not connected."

Authenticated but not connected? What the heck?

I have talked to godaddy support several times. They keep saying "You will have to contact the email provider." But they are the email provider. So, any suggestions?

My account is ray@ganymede.org, I am trying to connect to outlook.office365.com and I have the security and authentication all, I believe, set correctly.

Erg. :--(

Hi from very long time I have to add manually the accounts password at every start of Thunderbird. Now I'm at the version 128.4.4esr (64 bit) but the problem is still here.

Ok we can do copy and paste every morning but it will be great if there is a way to fix it.

Thank you in advance for your help.
