Thunderbird Community Forum

Just recently, some of the emails I receive are full of messages in red next to almost every line of the email saying that things like "Likely fraud detected" or "Do not trust this website." There is no indication as to what program is creating all these warnings. I have tried to turn off anything I can find in Thunderbird's security settings to no avail. The main source of emails with these warnings is "Beermenus.com" which I have been receiving for quite awhile before this started. Any ideas on what to do

My problem is that I can't get Thunderbird to work with my YouSee email account, or vice versa. I get a message that my email address or password is incorrect but they are not YouSee can't or won't help apparently I'm running Win 11

I want to use Thunderbird as a one-off back up of my source email folders.

On Thunderbird PC, I have done this under Fetching mail settings with "Folder Poll Frequency" set to Never.

On Thunderbird Desktop Account settings are different. On Server settings, I have unchecked for new messages, but they are still coming through. Any advice how to stop the messages synchronising from the source email system?

I will then delete a lot of old messages on the source system, knowing they are available on Thunderbird desktop

As so many have experienced, but I have yet to find the actual solution, I will bring up the issue.

I recently purchased a new computer. Installed Thunderbird, created all the mail accounts I have and... no problems. All the accounts, once created, populated with emails. For 3-4 days, there were no issues.

Important to note: I let TB use all the default settings. And once everything was up and running >>>>I did not change anything<<<<<.

Then a few days later, I started getting the following messages for two accounts that had migrated from q.com to myctl.net. Entering the 100% proven-correct password results in the know endless-loop of entering the password and the same pop-up error message. The PW is 100% correct as I can go to Centurylinks' website and login using that same, exact password and read my emails.

I've spent enough time trying all the suggestions here, reddit, facebook etc so I'd thought I'd see if anyone has actually found a solution.

I recently moved thunderbird from my Win 7 laptop to a new laptop with Win11. All was OK for awhile. One day all of my Local Folders were no longer in alphabetical order. Some folders, like Outbox are under Local Folders. Is there a fix? Please don’t tell me to uninstall and re-install.

During most attempts to move emails to folders in Thunderbird, the operation does not occur for five to ten seconds. Often, I will see a "systems busy" circle during the operation. This has been going on for weeks...

It's a big time waster. I can't do anything else in Thunderbird until the "Move" has been completed.

I would like to know if possible and or how to set up a standard "footer" if you will, to end my emails with. I am humbled to have several initials after my name, and would like to be able to have a standard button or actino to perform, to shortcut those answered emails with that sign off... Is is possible? Thank you

When adding a new email account, the built-in web browser launches and displays the OAuth screen. To verify the security of the destination site, I want to click the green lock icon in the URL bar to check the details, but I can’t click it.

Does a green lock icon mean a secure connection has been established?

After installing the zoom meeting add-on, it's not working. Entered my credentials, clicked login with Zoom button and get an error: {"status":false,"errorCode":4702,"errorMessage":"Invalid client_id: rodney.arbona@thegratefulagency.com","result":null}

This ID is used all the time and I tested it again prior to sending this message

I have had to replace my laptop and am trying to set up my new one with an existing outlook account on the new device.

It is a Windows 11 device.

I have used the exact server settings etc from my old lap top for the outlook account but get a variety of error messages.

I have explored the use of the Account Hub and also switched that off/on. Same situation.

I attach five screen captured images so far. The first is the version of TB. The second is the window that appears when the account tries to connect and thirdly the small pop up that appears bottom right hand corner of laptop. The remaining two show the server settings and that they passed the connection test.

Other email accounts (gmail & yahoo) have both been set up on the new device and work well.

The account worked on the old laptop and continues to do so. I have set up the outlook account with, to the best of my knowledge, the same settings. The old lap top was a windows 10 device. The new laptop does not have a third party antivirus on it.

I am baffled as to what is happening and what I should do next. Any advice would be great.

When attempting to send a web address under "file" tab using Thunderbird, there is an offering "email Link". "email link" does nothing with Windows 11 but worked with Windows 10? I have to copy and paste to send a web address to a mail recipient.

Hello. Impossible to connect to an existing Google account. Neither to the "full" account, nor to the Contact list nor to a Calendar of an existing account. Neither to a "private" account, not to a "workspace".

When trying to connect to a Contact list, after the Oauth window and the authorisation to share data from Google accounts, the app answer "Connexion impossible" (I am a French user).

When trying to connect to Calendars, Google's window asking authorisation to share data comes back after clicking "authorise".

Hi I am a theme girl and have tried many over time. I had never used the Dynamic Theme which is supposed to change from day to night along with what it's doing outside. It was kind of bland (sorry to the creator) so I tried to change it to another one and it worked just fine. When I came back to my computer it had changed back to the Dynamic one again. Again I changed it then it was back again. Yesterday I actually removed it from my list of addons and now it's back again. How do I stop it? Thanks for any help. ♥

Thanks

Moderator note: Moved to the Thunderbird Desktop forum from the Firefox Desktop forum.

I am running Version 140.10.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 and would like to subscribe to my Calendar on Nextcloud. Yesterday, in Nextcloud, I set up an app-specific password and saved that to the Password Manager in Thunderbird. I also saved the app-specific password to my Bitwarden vault. The Calendar synced just fine.

However, today, when I booted up Thunderbird, it said that it needed the password for the Calendar. I entered it in, and then looked to see if the password was in the password manager; it was.

What's going on here and how do I fix it?

After the last update when trying to send email I get the warrning of app: errer with "smtp.gmail.com". Any idea on how to fix it? Thank you for your help.
