Trying to set up Thunderbird on new computer. I do NOT want to import anything but address book from old computer. I use Thunderbird to Gmail since I also have an Android phone and want to access emails with Thunderbird and Gmail. I downloaded the Thunderbird installer, but I cannot log into Gmail when the Thunderbird setup asks me to EVEN THOUGH I know I am using the correct Gmail password, it is rejected as incorrect. Do I need to set up a whole new Gmail account? I MUST use the same email address, and I doubt Google will allow me to set up a new account with that address.

Please help.

Good morning.

I have been using Thinderbird portable for years with no issues, but I now have an issue I've never had before.

I have a BTinternet email address and it is now constantly asking or my password.

I have remember password ticked when I put the password in. When I go to passwords in it, the passwords stored for IMAP and SMTP are correct. I have removed the passwords, restarted and then reinput passwords as asked it to save. I have removed my account and reinstalled. I have deleted the entire program etc and reinstalled and still the same problem.

This doesn't happen when I use Outlook (So don't think it is my btinternet account).

Any Ideas greatly received.

Thanks

Every time I open Thunderbird, and every once in a while after I dismiss it, I get a popup window asking me to allow Thunderbird access to my Google Account. The account it is asking for does *not* have an associated Gmail.

For extra context: This email account used to be run though Google, but I switched providers since it was a custom email with a custom domain. The email also has an associated Google account for other services.

I have tried selecting both deny and allow on the pop-up window. Deny just closes the window, which reopens after some time. Accept causes my email to get a security alert that says Thunderbird now has access, but the window still appears again after some time. I am not sure of how long either of these options last before the window pops up again, and I'm not sure if there is a real difference in timing between the two.

I have also tried closing the window without selecting either option, with the same results.

I did delete and set up the account again once, to no difference. Also, I'm not seeing anything in the settings of the account that would suggest it belongs to Google, but I am also not the most savvy when it comes to these things.

Please help, this has been bugging me for months and I would really like to not have to keep dealing with it.

Hello vols, My Thunderbird email has suddenly asked for a password to login to imap server. When entered, password is not accepted. No passwords have been changed on my email server. Help. I am now unable to receive emails. Many thanks Ian

Bonjour,

J'utilise 2 comptes de messagerie Gmail sur Thunderbird, et je dois toutes les semaines remettre les mots de passe google de ces comptes pour continuer à l'utiliser. Que dois-je faire pour supprimer ces demandes trop fréquentes.

Merci par avance, Hervé Serre

Despite working fine previously, the email sever has suddenly refused to log me in - giving this message.... "Log in to server imap.virginmedia.com with user name mike.brown297@ntlworld.com failed." I have not changed anything that I am aware of so what's wrong? It asks for a new password, but I haven't changed it? Please help!! Mike
