When I upgraded from MacOS Ventura to MacOS Sonoma, Thunderbird stopped working. Getting it to work the first time required me to use Apple's 2 Step Verification process to create an app-specific password. After the MacOS upgrade, that process was no longer available. Apple switched to 2 Factor Authentication, which is apparently different and incompatible with 2sv. The other websites and applications on my iMac have already switched to 2fa, and I'm not sure I can have both methods active on the same computer (but I've asked, Apple, anyway).

Is there a recent change in Thunderbird that would allow me to use 2fa instead of 2sv to access Thunderbird?

I have many years worth of emails in Thunderbird that I can no longer access. I can see the directory structure, and some of the email lists, but not the content.

Thanks for the help!

Why is the VIEW menu missing the ability to turn off threads? Hate threads, always have, stupid idea. Sorry, but no. Where can I completely disable threads? I upgraded to 115 beta and all my accounts now have 'threads'... FML.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

I get this message from Thunderbird on my desktop computer on app start up: ]Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

This started suddenly about a week ago.

I have Thunderbird on laptop that works fine.

How can fix this?

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

Cox is migrating our emails to Yahoo. So I have several cox emails and I have migrated one to make sure there were no problems. Yup I couldn't get yahoo emails. I have been the phone with yahoo tech help and we have done several things including the app password thing that I guess Yahoo does with platforms like Thunderbird.

I can send out email BUT I cannot send emails in. Funny thing is that Thunderbird is not telling me it I need to put in a new password when I am trying to download.

Please understand I am not real tech savvy and I am a senior so I may be a little slower in understanding any explanations.

I have loved using Thunderbird. Please help!

Oauth2 for smtp.office365.com not working

I'm using Thunderbird with an office365.com account. Receive works fine. Sending always fails with:

   Login to account "smtp.office365.com" failed
   Login to server smtp.office365.com with username NAME@DOMAIN.COM failed.
   [Enter New Password]              [Cancel]  [Retry]

Pressing the [Enter New Password] button makes the dialogue go away, but it doesn't prompt for a password. The OAuth2 authorisation screen I expected to appear never appears.

SMTP server config is:

   Description: 	NAME@DOMAIN.COM
   Server Name: 	smtp.office365.com
   Port: 	587
   User Name: 	NAME@DOMAIN.COM
   Authentication method: 	OAuth2
   Connection Security: 	STARTTLS

The only other thing I can think of is the org uses SSO (saml2). SMTP is turn on at the Microsoft send, and we have tried Vincent's suggestion: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1307784#answer-1376341

Thunderbird, 115.3.2, Build ID 20231010142850. Running on macOS Sonoma Version 14.0

Hi. I am currently in the process of switching to another email provider. I have emails in my inbox that are really important and dating back to 2018. I really don't want to lose these when I switch the settings, but I have no idea how to download/back up all my emails. How can I back them up and then import them after I switch the server settings.

Hi, I'm having a problem with my email. It comes to me through my website Bradfraser.net, and is hosted by Viux. Apparently Viux went out of business a while ago and didn't tell anyone. My email stopped arriving at bradfraser@bradfraser.net two weeks ago and all attempts to rectify this have been stymied by my not having my dashboard info for the site, and I am unable to get it from Viux. (Which seems to have a bot answering questions.) Is there any way you can help me access this email account and get it running again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
