I am trying to add a Gmail account to Thunderbird. After clicking Continue from the configuration window, the system shows a 'Waiting for authorisation in login popup' window with a rotating circle, which eventually finishes and the window says 'Authentication error. Unable to log in at server. . . .'. As I understand it, the login popup window should be from Google asking me to confirm that it is OK for Thunderbird to connect to the Gmail server. It looks like that Google popup is being blocked. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the Google permission popup to appear?

I am using Thunderbird 148.0.1 on Windows11. I want to move the signature block to above quoted text, but the setting does not seem to be there. I have followed the instructions on the Mozilla help site: "When you are replying to messages, by default your signature will appear beneath the quoted text at the end of the message. To change this behavior, select Tools > Account Settings > <account name> > Composition & Addressing. Change the reply style to "Start my reply above the quote". Next, change the setting for "and place my signature" to "below my reply (above the quote)". This setting can be configured for each account and for each identity."

But they do not match what I am seeing on the screen. There is no selection for signature position, I assume a version change caused this. Any advice?

For some time now, Thunderbird has been correcting words by capitalising them – incorrectly. For example, the words ‘Mir’, ‘Dem’ and ‘Du’ are always automatically capitalised, which is, firstly, nonsense and, secondly, annoying. I have already disabled ‘Spell check’ and ‘Spell check whilst typing’ – to no avail. ---deutsch--- Thunderbird korrigiert seit einiger Zeit Worte indem sie sie - falsch - groß schreibt. Zum Beispiel werden die Worte Mir Dem Du immer automatisch groß korrigiert, was erstens Unfug und zweitens lästig ist. Ich habe schon "Rechtschreibkorrektur" und "Rechtschreibprüfung während der Eingabe" abgeschaltet - ohne Erfolg.

Why am I not able to add a 3rd IMAP email account?

Everything comes up like before for IMAP accounts, but it does not recognize the email or password, for some reason, and I have checked them over and over.

I also tried adding manually, but although it adds the email account name, the connections don't work, and there is not much information to even adjust that.

Good day support team, I had this sending message error show on my Thunderbird desktop when I try to send Annual Report to my members. I had tested to send through Bcc to 50 recipients and not sure how many is going through or not even one is going through. This is due to the over limit of the recipients I send through Bcc or recipient "bcl5157@gmail.com" account as show on the attached screenshot picture had problem? For this scenario, is it better to create a Mailing list instead?

Thank you in advance.

I have two email accounts, one is hotmail.com, the other is on outlook.com

The SMTP for the outlook account works fine, but Thunderbird puts that same smtp details into the Hotmail account smtp. That also puts into the Hotmail username, the outlooks email address.

If I try to send an email using the Hotmail account, I get a message saying 'Hotmail can not send using xx@outlook.com

If I use the settings to make the username xxx@hotmail.com, it puts that into the smtp of the outlook.com address then that will not send giving the same fault. This has only started this last couple of days, nothing changed in the settings.

This only occurs on my Desktop. On my laptop with same settings it works fine.

Thunderbird is showing up to date?
