LOGIN FAILED ERROR MESSAGE DRIVING ME CRAZY! At LEAST 100 times I get the same gray pop-up error message which I've attached. I will type it here as well

Login to server pop.earthlink.net with username professor[hidden for privacy]@earthlink.net failed.

Retry - Enter New Password - Cancel are the choices presented.

Obviously my primary email server is Earthlink Webmail, which in turn I redirect to use Thunderbird as my mail reading and filing system for my messages. Webmail is simply too cumbersome for daily use. No matter.

I have two email accounts with Webmail, both redirected to TB. I use a particular password for the Webmail server, which in turn I needed to set up a flow-thru account to TB. No problems there for the past 10 years or so.

Suddenly beginning last week, these infernal gray box error messages began appearing throughout the day. Now they popup every 2 or 3 minutes!

I have double and triple checked my Webmail passwords to insure they are correct. I have also attempted on NUMEROUS occasions to use the optional tab ENTER NEW PASSWORD, into which I have typed the password again. I check the box that asks "Use Password Manager to remember this password." in hopes that TB will somehow remember the correct PW. No Luck whatsoever.

To prove my point, during the time it has taken me to type this message, the popup has appeared no less than 6 times thus far, and I am not even finished with my question.

Actually - opps, there it is again - I am finished with the question. What I am desperately seeking is how to disable this damned error message once and for all, or to input whatever information it needs to simply disappear.

Thanks to you all for putting up with my frustration. I only hope it doesn't happen to you, 'cause it will drive you NUTS!

Thanks again,

Lenny

2 possibly related issues. Environment Win10 latest Thunderbird version eMail server is google I was moving a large number of folders from a POP account to a new IMAP account. Something bad happened and Thunderbird died without an error message. When I restarted I found a lot of the POP folders had not transferred and there is a lock symbol on the POP account and I can not open it to show what is in it. Question 1: what does the lock symbol designate and how do I unlock the account. Question 2: are the missing folders gone? I realize that I probably need to solve #1 first. -- bill

Hello. I am using Thunderbird version 128.14.0esr on POP OS 24.04. I use a default dark theme. It seems to me that there is a problem with the way the dark theme is applied, which breaks consistency. For a while now, my message panes appear with black text over a white background, as opposed to white text over a black background, as it used to be. Only when I "Turn dark mode off" with the dark mode "drop" in the message menu does it revert back to normal. This is quite annoying as it has to be done every time I want to read an email. Is there a solution to this minor but annoying problem? Thanks.

Hi there.

Safari on iOS has an option called “preload top hit”. It loads the most relevant website or search result in the background while you type so that there is no delay.

This feature is able to be turned off in Safari in iOS, but as far as I am aware, there is no way to do so in Firefox for iOS.

Please add the ability to disable this feature; it is interfering with my experience.

I find many articles that appear on the Firefox new tab page interesting. Since I am not able to get to an article right then, I would like to read them later. Is there a archive or library of all the articles where I can browse through them?

Using an Android tablet (OnePlus tab 3) I can use the pen to write in the address bar but I cannot use a pen to write in any text fields on websites while browsing in Firefox (on google.com for example, or writing this), which works on other browsers like Chrome or duckduckgo browser. The touch input of the pen is recognized to scroll zoom or select text, but not to write. Is this feature not supported on Firefox or am I missing something

Thanks

All of my bookmarks are gone When i click on manage bookmarks it is empty. Ive tried the other things and I cannot get them back. And how do i prevent this from happening on another computer? And can i opt out of updates because it seems like they create more problems for me then what they fix

It will take hours and hours to  get the website back and change all the passwords

On clicking a link, the new tab is not on the right of the former tab. It appears ANYWHERE way down to the right. So I cannot move easily between the first page and the next page. I have to hunt up and down the tabs. I have done the config, no change. I have done the extension, no change. If Firefox will NOT fix this I MUST change as I cannot work with this. I HAVE asked, before, and got no reply! I cannot give you an image, as the 1st tab is in one position and the other way oof to the right.

I am legally blind.

This does not happen in Chrome or Librewolf. I have performed all the usual troubleshooting like safe mode. I had the Microsoft Disability Desk recheck all my settings. And still no luck. It will follow the terst cursor in the address bar and search bar but just not on web pages like YouTube, Amazon, Goodreads et al.

Any help or suggestions would be truly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello How do I un-Blacklist myself?

I- the Sender - has been Blacklisted. I can't send out Emails because of this. I can't even upload a screenshot of the message I got about this.

I use a Windows 10 Desktop.
