Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account undefined my gmail.com account: This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

More info: Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail Click for more information

More info: See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts Click for more information

More info: See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar Click for more information

By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can change this and other Account Permissions at any time.

HOW CAN I DISALLOW Google to do anything with my account and contacts?

tb version 115.18.0 64bit accompanied with KSOS 21.21.7.384 now.

with the previous version of KSOS i had this setup for a while now and it worked fine. thing is, kaspersky auto- updated and now, when i first boot my pc and start tb it goes unresponsive (white) for 2'-3'. after that, every time, i get the message account processing...... tabs are now empty.when it rebuilds, i input my password and it starts downloading messages adding to the list. could be, say, 30' later i press the "get messages" and in return "connection XXX was reset". when i try to send its "the connection to SMTP timed out". restarting TB doesnt do a thing. restarting PC, goes around in a loop, unresponsive etc etc. exiting KSOS though, fixes the problem but temporarily. once i restart KSOS TB is working fine for some time until i get the connection reset again some time after.... anybody else having this trouble as well nowdays? any potential fixes?

I've finished setting up the S/MIME encryption in Thunderbird, and imported all the certificates needed. When people with the certificates emailed me, I could receive and read all the emails. However, when I replied to the same people, I got the error message saying 'End-to-end encryption requires resolving cerficiate issues'. My colleagues imported the same certificates without any issues. Do you have any suggestions for me to solve the issue? Thank you very much!

I am being plagued with about 50 daily pornographic junk emails. Most go into Spam but a few end up in Inbox. I would like to block each one so that it cannot get through again. A long and tedious task but I am prepared to do it. How do I go about blocking a junk email?

Tools>options>privacy & security>Passwords. Click 'show passwords' brings up the saved passwords in a separate box. Need ability to resize the box (and colums within the box). The columns are too small to see the entire contents of a column. Using TB 138.0

First, I annually donate to this site. Previously when I wanted sail@chartermi.net to prohibit emails I could select Block Sender. Then following your update now all I can do is Mark As Junk which doesn't work. How can I Block Sender?

I am getting an annoying popup stating that Dan.Hromada@citizensforfreespeech.org is asking for my Google password....this email account is not associated at all with Google or Gmail. It's hosted on the organization's server. Please see the screenshot of the pop-up.

Thank you, Dan Hromada

My e-mail appears to have been hacked, resulting in the loss of $3000. A second attempt to hack the account, by intercepting an e-mail sent to me and replacing the bank details, was interrupted by the bank, which froze my account until the situation was resolved. That would have caused the loss of almost $7000, had the fraud been successful. I don't want to change my e-mail address, but I would like to improve the security of my account. Can you please advise what I should do.

Thanks and regards,

I am considering moving over and using thunderbird as a desktop email client principaly to archieve my emails per the advice in the book. The book advices from a privacy and sercuity perspective that a email clinet such as thunderbrid should only be used to archive emails and not to send them. I dont think this is a big risk and I am considering using thinderbird to send emails as well, not just from a browser.

Are you able to clarify and provide further insight on this ? What are the privacy and security risks of sending an email this way ? Please see extracts from book below.

I do not recommend using them for daily access to these services, or to send email messages, but only as an archiving solution to make sure you always have a copy of your data offline.

I use this only as an offline backup of all email in the event I cannot access my Proton Mail account online. I never send email from this application.

A decade ago, my main concern about email privacy would have been exposure of a true IP address. Most of us still used email clients which shared the local IP address within the email headers of every sent message. he risk today is minimal. If you send an email from within a web browser through a service such as Proton Mail, Tuta, Fastmail, Gmail, etc., the recipient should only see the IP address of the email server. Your true home IP address should not be exposed. If you send an email from an email client while using these services, you are also usually protected. The emails bounce through the service provider's servers before going out and only includes those addresses. However, sending email through a client configured for corporate email may expose your true IP address. As an example, sending an email from your employer's provided address through a traditional emailclient from home could expose these sensitive details.

I'm trying to send encrypted email to a recipient who I have a certificate for, but Thunderbird states:

End-to-end encryption requires resolving certificate issues for ....

That's rather unhelpful - what issues exactly? I've imported the CA certs into the system and they are shown in TB. openssl verify on the cert returns OK. I'm at a loss as to what might be the issue.

Hello

I've been setting up Thunderbird on MacOS. I was adding few Gmail accounts. Every account was using 2FA so I had to enter new verification code each time. When I was adding 3rd or 4th account and was entering Google verification code into the form it suggested one of the codes I used before. Codes had same first two numbers so I guess I know why this form suggested one of the old codes but where does Thunderbird store these codes? I've deleted search history and cache in Thunderbird and attempted adding another gmail account but this time when I was asked for 2FA code I started with older verification codes and this form remembered all of them. Is there a way to remove them? Where does Thunderbird store these codes?

Thanks for any suggestions

Hi There Mozilla Peeps,

I have Norton security on my computer and I recently signed up for an advanced email scanning service, but when I try to connect it it says it doesn't work with Thunderbird. Is there a fix for this?

Thank you!

I keep getting someone or something trying to access my Email and having to confirm exceptions all the time. The slight change to the Email address always appears to be the same. Can you please stop this hapening. Thank You Les Nowak
