This happens each time I open up T-Bird. Somtimes it is Yahoo.mail, sometimes it prompts to log onto aol.mail.com.

How can this be stopped?

Try this:

- go to TB menu > Settings > General

- scroll all the way down and click the 'Config editor' button on the right

- click 'Accept the risk and continue' if that appears

- search for mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser > change the value to true

- restart TB

Perhaps I should have mentioned that I am using CHROME as my browser.

Also, T-Bird has counted two Spam messages, which it does not remove when I click to remove spam.

I have changed false to true, as you suggested. Still no good.

Are these the correct settings?

T-Bird is not working correctly now/

My problem is not yet solved.

Any other suggestions are welcomed.
