Thunderbird Community Forum

when i log in my mail from pc(thunderbird) it works well,it requests autodiscover request to webserver it works well,but from phone it says(Configuration found this configuration is not trusted we received the configuration for you email server over a connection that isn't as secure as we'd like. this means that these is a tiny chance that someone could have altered it. Could you please double-check the provided configuration to make sure it's as it should be?) and autodiscover request not shown on webserver. can you tell me possible causes? Thanks!

WHY AM I GETTING THIS REQUEST... DOZENS OF TIMES A DAY?

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?

New European regulations (GDPR) require the use of BCC when emailing a group. This needs to be error proof as the cost of a mistake could be serious. The present system relies on me remembering to select BCC each time I write to the group.

Use BCC instead sounds OK, but I'm reluctant to use an add-in, as updates to TB could make it fail. And if I'm relying on it and suddenly it doesnt work..

Is there some way that I can create an address list so that when I write to that list it will ALWAYS use BCC? The contact data in the address book has about 50 fields, is there no way to set the preferred type of addressing?

I've read other replies to similar questions but none give the confidence in security that I'm seeking.

I tried my current Hotmail pwd, but received: 'Login to Server imap.gmail.com failed'. 'Retry', 'Enter New Password' or 'Cancel'. I tried all 3 previous Hotmail pwds, but receive the same. I added a Master Password just now, but still get the above…. Help!!!

Thanks!

I used Startup Master to keep my e-mails private. However, by just keep clicking 'cancel' when asked for the password, Thunderbird opens and you can read all my mails. Is there any bug in that add-ons?. It's not only happened in add-on, I happens in default master password too.

I have changed the privacy settings as suggested in the help guide, but any image I text to my e-mail is blocked. They can only be double clicked on the footer to open them in another application. Is it possible to have them load automatically in the body of the e-mail?

I found an article how to reset the master password. It worked for Mozila's password in the browser but not with thunderbird. I cannot get it to go to thunderbird's tool to reset it from there.

Currently unable to set up to an existing account on a new laptop. I’ve verified user name and password on the old laptop, but these don’t work when setting up the new one. The Thunderbird set-up wizard found my configuration in the Mozilla ISP DB, but can’t verify it. In other words, it won’t accept my username or password. I’ve done this for both IMAP and POP3, but it makes no difference. I’ve confirmed user name and password for both smtp and mail folders, and tried them in setting up. However, on the new laptop, Thunderbird doesn’t ask for user name, but just the name as displayed to others. Once I get set up, I’d like to copy my archive into the new system. One thing at a time…

I think this comes from google and they seem to want me to set my google account to accept Thunderbird's less restrictive security policy. I'm not sure any of this is correct and it thurns out there is no simple way to fix my google account. I'm losing interest fast. I have not used Thuderbird for a year, and if i'm correct, something happened at google in that time to lock me out. This was working very well a year ago. tnx

After upgrading to Thunderbird 60.2.1, I can no longer send messages. I'm running Linux 4.15.0-38-generic.

I get the attached error saying that I have problems with STARTTLS SMP. However, I have my connection security as SSL/TLS (second attachment). I haven't changed anything for years on my connection security. I successfully sent emails yesterday. Sending still works on my other machine (Windows) with v 59 and the same settings..

I have attached a screenshot of the incoming message from a scam email. It was a request to buy an itunes gift card. Although the name of the sender is mentioned in the subject, the message came from an email address that is not in my contacts. In spite of this, the Correspondents column showed the trusted name, which caused me to respond, although I didn't send money. Can the trusted name be replaced with the actual bogus email address? That would add security.

I tried deleting and installing Thunderbird several times but it still requires master password that I wrote when I installed StartupMaster add-on on my Thunderbird. I don't know what to do because it seems like I won't be able to install and use Thunderbird on my Mac any more? I thought that maybe there is a need to delete Thunderbird completely from my Mac but I don't know how else I can do it - I just delete the Thunderbird like I delete all other apps. Thanks for help.

I constantly get mails with plaintext and then some HTML-Version of the same mail attached.

I just want to see the plain-mail part without any HTML/CSS/whatever. I dont want HTML and CSS to get rendered. Preferably I want it stripped from the mail and deleted. Is there some way to archive this or an addon that will do it?

I'd like to have only email address shown in received mails list.

Reason:

detect forged email is easier.

Things that do not work:

-addons, there is none that works with thunderbird 60 and it should be basic feature

-uncheck in options "show only name for who is inaddress book", done and people are not in address book

-open the email and read the sender there, that's known but is not what i asked

Example:

sender: "Posteo Support <their@mail.here>" but in the list is only "Posteo Support"

mail from friend that changed his name in google account and sent me test email, sender: "Posteo support <friend@google.com>" but again in the list is exactly as the real one: "Posteo Support"

This bypass spf, dkim and maybe also antispam because it's outside their scope

Same apply for s/mime digitally signed emails, there is no column for it, you have to open them one by one to check what is signed and what isn't.

It has been asked so many times in many years

there are multiple, now outdated, plugins for this

Can we have an official answer on why this bacic feature has not been implemented yet in 2018?

also had to type this twice as when i clicked post it said "access denied" and i have lost everything ':/
