Hello,

Why the hell did you guys decide to change the sort order of the "Move to" and "Copy to" Right-Click menu folders? How annoying! This makes Thunderbird *less* user friendly, not more user friendly. Do you guys even use Thunderbird? I suspect not, or you would have realized what a bad decision this was. I use these right-click menus every day, and now, because you guys decided to sort the order based on last used, I have to HUNT for the folder each time, because it is constantly changing! Before, I would know where that folder was in the list before I even right-clicked. Unless this gets fixed, I will go back to an older version of Thunderbird.

Instead of spending time changing features for the worse, how about doing something useful, like making Thunderbird work correctly with Protonmail?

Thanks!

When I tried to login I see this information:

This is very strange, because I tried it on another PC and this is the same. It looks that yahoo even didn't try to check password, because this is not matter if I wrote correct password or different - I see the same information.

Please help. I have two yahoo mail account and this is the same.

Both accounts works well on another e-mail client and I can access to my account without any problem by browser. This is only thunderbird problem.

Just started using Thunderbird, coming from MS Outlook. I have exported my contact details in Outlook to a .csv file, and tried to use this as the import source to transfer the details to Thunderbird address book. I have checked the fields to transfer, but none end up being passed over. The .csv file appears to hold the correct data with the correct field headers. Although I do not have many contacts, transferring them individually by hand seems a very old-fashioned thing to have to do lol

I've recently set up Thunderbird on Linux Mint 22.2 and was unable to sign into Yahoo so I tried to sign in with Firefox instead and had the same errors :-

OR

   We couldn’t sign you in
   Change your browser settings to continue. Try the following:
   Turn off ad blockers
   Enable JavaScript

If you still can’t sign in, try a different device.

I can sign in with Chrome without any problems on the same workstation. Firefox version :- 147.0.4 (64-bit)

   Only Extension is Privacy Badger, but this is disabled for Yahoo.com

Thunderbird version :- 148.0 (64-bit)

   No extensions - as installed from Thunderbird download site

I'm not having any issues signing into any other websites / email accounts (Google, Hotmail).

I notice on the support website :- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo it says "Starting with version 148, Thunderbird is switching to a more secure authorization protocol PKCE for Yahoo" BUT this isn't offered in the list of Authentication methods, has PKCE been delayed? Currently using OAuth2 for Thunderbird

Hello people,

When I compose a message in my word programme (Softmaker or Libre), save it in Docx format and copy/paste it into Thunderbird to send it everything is double spaced and nothing I do in the "compose" menu can change that.

I have tried it with "Use Paragraph Format" checked and unchecked and it stays doule spaced and nothing I can find in previous threads seems to address this problem.

I have smtp.gmail.com set up as my outgoing server (port 465, username = my gmail address, Authentication = OAuth2, connection security = SSL/TLS, also tried STARTTLS with port 587). There doesn't appear to be any way to set the password in the "Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings", even when I click "Edit". Nor can I add a password to the "Edit/Privacy&Security/Saved Passwords" dialog box (which allows you to see existing passwords or remove them, but not add any).

When I try to send an email, the "Sending Message" dialog box pops up, and after a few seconds a second box pops labeled "Login to account 'smtp.gmai.com' failed". This box has three buttons: "Enter New Password", Cancel and Retry. Clicking on the "Enter New Password" button does not offer me the chance to enter a new password--instead, it immediately takes me back to the "Sending Message" box, which then immediately takes me back to the "Login...failed" box. There is never an opportunity to enter the password!

TBird 140.7.0esr, Thunderbird for Linux Mint. Mint version 22.3.

Sending works ok if I choose a different SMTP server.
