I am getting the Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account all the time while using TBM, I have removed the gmail account and the pop up does not show, so I know it is for the email account just removed. I re-add the email address and enter the email address and password and let it find the config itself. Click Done, and get the Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account again, then click Allow and get the Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com. message in the bottom left of my desktop. How can i get gmail to work again please.

Setting up a desktop (Dell Inspiron) for neighbors using latest Linux Mint (21.3 Cinnamon). They have simple needs, LibreOffice, Firefox and email. Plain jane, nothing extra added, straight from latest Mint install.

I am having trouble adding a second email account in Thunderbird (115.8.1). First comcast account was very easy, standard comcast defaults, works fine, downloads and sends. Second comcast account keeps giving "Unable to Connect" poput screen. (https://localhost/?code=0.ac.w2.PciwTw)

I can login to either Xfinity email account through Firefox browser using same addresses ((username)@comcast.net) and passwords I am using to attempt to add second account in Thunderbird.

Tried it with Mint Firewall off, then on, then off again. Do I need to setup firewall for second account?

Can someone give me a hint on this problem? Is is Thunderbird? Comcast? Something else?

As of yesterday after 9 pm I have not seen any new email in Thunderbird (115.7.0 (64-bit)). I can see new email in my service provider's (Shaw) webmail service. I downloaded Mailspring and they download to that program. I had a look at Microsoft Mail, which has all of my mail accounts (3 gmail + shaw) and bizarrely, in Mail I can see that the new email are there in my Shaw account.... but are not visible in Thunderbird.

Any suggestions? Uninstall & reinstall?

Starting yesterday 1/30/2023, when I open Thunderbird, it immediately freezes after about 5 seconds after opening. The spinning hour glass immediately starts and I have to literally close out of the entire program in order to get out of it. I open Thunderbird up and it happens again. I have tried opening in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, but it still freezes after 5 seconds and crashes. Is anyone else experiencing this and what can I do to correct this?

Suddenly today my Thunderbird email account on my desktop won't send or receive mails until I enter the password. When I add in the correct password it doesn't accept it but just comes back asking for it again. I suspect it is best to change my password but don't know how to do that. Incidentally the account is working fine on my phone and tablet with the same password but not on my desktop. Can anyone help? Thanks.

I accidentally deleted a fairly large email, namely 3GB in the Thunderbird application, but when I checked in junk/trash the deleted email didn't appear. When I checked locally there was a file called Trash (no file format) with a size of around 3GB and in it there was an email which I deleted previously. How do I return the email back to the inbox?

In the past two days I've not been able to insert a hyperlink into an email via either the link icon nor the insert navigation.

When I hit either I am no longer able to do anything with the message I am working on it freezes. I am still able to go back to the rest of my mailboxes/folders without an issue.

Anyone know if this is a known issue or what the fix might be?

Thanks in advance.

115.3.1 Can no longer send email from multiple accounts. SMTP Server User Name used to be unique for each account. Now, it is the same across the accounts causing this message: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <kbkelly@wi.rr.com> sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

I can change the User Name to the correct one but that changes it for all other accounts and I'm back to the same problem. How to solve/correct/work around/whatever?

As an aside: what the heck is "auth"? Please use the full word. It does make it easier to understand.

Thank you.

Hi all, Setting up a new computer and Thunderbird. Did a clean install and trying to add my gmail account. Typed in name, e-mail and password. Retrieve configuration from Mozilla ISP database successfully. Then when i click "Done" I get the google pop-up where I click allow Thunderbird, and the pop-up closes. Then I get a yellow notice in Thunderbird saying "Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

Username/pass is correct, and configuration is from Mozilla. Tried manually and get a success when i click Re-test button.

Tried a bunch of times over the last few days. Always the same. I have no problems logging in to gmail in using my browser and the same credentials.

I'm at a loss here, thankful for any help.

Cheers!
