I have had two Gmail accounts on Tbird for about a year with no problems. Now I get unpredictable or no results trying to send or receive messages from the newer account. A message mentioning unsuccessful server authentification is the most common. "we have sent your message but not mentioned it in the "sent" folder due to connectivity problems" also occurs. I have absolutely no problem on iOS mail or Tbird running on MacOS. To the extent that I can decipher the iOS settings, there is no difference.

Good morning, I am a cave man when it comes to all things computer so please bear with this simple question. Opened up T-bird e-mail and got a message that the monthly releases are not considered to be stable for general use and to download the latest stable version of T-Bird as it looks like something new was released in the last week? Would it be as simple as downloading the latest version/update? Will it be safe to do this or alter anything else on my computer besides going from the beta version to the latest stable version? Sorry for the trouble, but a little anxious downloading something that I'm not sure of. Thanks very much for the help.

I'm taking nightly incremental backups of /home for example to my home storage server and, I guess, due to the databases Firefox uses for various storage, those can't be backed up by just copying them, if Firefox is running and has the database open.

What are the best practices, then, for ensuring all profile data, including these databases, is in a state where it can be backed up, while Firefox is running, in a way it can be restored to a fully functioning profile?

For example, with MySQL databases, you can dump the log before running the backup each night, which basically exports the SQL statements needed so you can skip backing up the actual binary database file (like ibdata1).  Does SQLite need something similar?  and is this the only special consideration that is needed, or are there other specialized types of data within our profile directories that can't be backed up by simply copying the data while Firefox is running?

Thanks

I DON'T want my email account password to be saved anywhere in Thunderbird and I DO want to have to enter the password each time I start up Thunderbird anew. However, my password is being retained. I've deleted the password entry from Settings & Saved Passwords but seem to have to do that every time before I close down. Where/how can I ensure I have to enter my hotmail password each time I start up Thunderbird please?

I'm about to find a new mail client...now when I manually try to download my mail from ANY outlook server I get a certificate warning that when I try to get or make an exception since I've had these outlook email addresses for eternity, won't cooperate. it says "you are about to over ride how Thunderbird identifies this site. legitamate sites such as banks, stores or other public sites will not ask you to do this." then shows the location of outlook.office365.com:993 and says " this site attempts to identify itself with invalid information." then says "unknown identity" "the certificate id not trusted because it hasn't been verified as issued by a trusted authority using a secure signature" then asks if I want to permanently store this exception but when I click "confirm security exception" it apparently doesn't work because I still keep getting that message... Oh and I can go through a browser and Windows mail and they both work just fine. It's only through thunderbird I have these issues..help

My Thunderbird has suddenly become corrupted and I can't read my emails. I enclose a screenshot of a message which I am presently unable to delete.

Can anyone help please?

Today I was notified Firefox version 131.0 had been installed. Now, when using the Charles Schwab website, I can't access my bank account, which is a separate entity, and requires me to use Schwab's access method. I've used this method/tool for a decade or more without incident until FF 131.0 showed up. Here's the error: "You might have cookies blocked or cross-site tracking prevented. Depending on what browser you're using, check your settings for these terms: • Block third party cookies • Cookie tracking • Cross-site tracking Make sure cookies are not blocked and cross-site tracking is enabled. Follow any additional instructions in your browser once you have adjusted these settings."

I've disabled "Enhanced Tracking Protection", cleared the browser of cookies and site data. I disabled Privacy Badger and Ghostery. None of which helps.

This procedure works using Firefox on an ios tablet. Also, it works with Microsoft Edge.

Thanks for any help. -Deke

As of September 30 my email password seems blocked - cannot receive or send emails I have an account with Microsoft - I pay $19.95 per year, have a microsoft password

My Thunderbird Email was on auto password sign in when I would boot up, a couple of days while in start up mode on my computer my area had a blackout. When the power supply returned my Thunderbird Email would not start up and requested my password which I have forgot as it is a while since I last used it. Could someone please advise how do I reset my password in Thunderbird... Thank You Derek

please see attached msg. annoying distracting symbols by default inside search screen. why? I know command-K bring up some somehow useless search screen but the rest... annoying - it attracts attention as a new item and clutters the view and serves no purpose it's control command K

Suddenly many messages to me from all sorts of different senders are coming up as being sent by me to me.. If I reply it is working to the correct email. This is getting worse rather than better...... We are using "MAC Book"

We cannot understand why this is suddenly happening.

It seems a new version of Thunderbird was updated and installed today. Although the new message button seems to be working it looks like a dark black button. How can I change the color setting so it is readable?

Dear Thunderbird team I am an avid user of TB (home desktop Windows PCs), but I have been resting on my laurels on v78 for a few years now. I know, shame on me. I would like to upgrade to a stable "modern" release (emphasis on "stable" please). Can you please advise if I should aspire to end up on 115 or 128, and how I might get there ? From reading some older blogs, there is advice that says.... first go to v91, then v102, then v115, and so. That seems a bit tortuous, but I am happy to do so if that is still the recommended approach.

Also, can you advise on how I manage my Profile through all this, do I need to do various exports/imports as I move through these different versions, etc.

Many Thanks

As of 3 days ago I am finding that all emails and spam I get are all missing logos as well as anthing not script. Many are just blank and right click produces nothing. Dont know what you did but please undo it, Im not in the mood to go find another email host. Thank you
