Thunderbird Community Forum

I set up a new account last week and need instructions on how to navigate and use this forum. I cannot find the question I posted. I got no email saying it was answered. I also need information about these codes I keep getting in my inbox after I've already logged in. I don't know what to do with them. I'm a newbie and need an instruction pdf if there is one. Thanks.

Why does every time TB updates it cause all my Yahoo accounts force me to get new passwords? Is it TB or Yahoo that is creating this problem of me having jump through hoops just to get the accounts working again. BTW the passwords in TB don't work when this happens.

Either this get resolved or I stop updating TB.

Since I updated Thunderbird to 153.0 on Thursday, I've noticed that every time I start Tbird, I get several notifications about authentication errors for the servers to which its trying to fetch mail. The list varies each time, but frequent offenders are Gmail, Comcast, and Yahoo, and occasionally Apple and Microsoft (outlook.office365.com server).

I did not see this issue prior to the update. Sure, once in a great while (< 1x/month), a single server would throw such an error, but now, it's every time I start Tbird.

All the accounts are accessed via IMAP, and those that support or require OAuth2 are so configured.

If I go to the mailbox a little while later, I don't get any errors--this seems to be limited to startup.

I check 15 mailboxes, though many get very little email.

A search from Bugzilla's home page shows three similar reports, none newer that 3.5 years ago. (I can't delve deeper, as my credentials apparently expired and the signup confirmation email has not arrived yet).

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a log of such events (or a way to create one)? ...thanks!

Google wants passkeys to install the gmail addresses on Thunderbird. The initial setup was with a gmail address that went through OK with no passkey. I am having difficulty either setting pass keys for the email addresses or something else as I only get the authenticate error message after I think I have setup passkeys. Very frustrated.

Thunderbird indicates that I'm not using a primary password and when I ask to see the password for my gmail account it asks for a PIN. I have no record of a PIN for Thunderbird. I'm instructed to go to setting>accounts to change the PIN. but cannot find it: settings>account settings lead me nowhere.

Thunderbird keeps asking for my passwords for my email account and that of my husband. Despite being on the phone for 90 minutes with Virgin Media and giving them remote control of my computer, the problem is still there, even though it did work for 5 minutes whilst the Virgin operative was on my screen. He signed off and when I looked at my Thunderbird accounts soon after, the problem was back again. All the settings and passwords are definitely correct, so why does it keep asking for passwords every few seconds? Retry, enter new password, cancel. I even made a £10 donation to Thunderbird yesterday, in hope. I am so frustrated because my husband has Parkinson's and I need our emails to work. What on earth is causing this problem or has Thunderbird itself crashed out of existence ?????????????????

Ich habe mir heute das Programm installiert und beim Einloggen werde ich nach meinem Namen, meiner Emailadresse und nach meinem Emailpasswort gefragt, doch leider wird mir immer ein Fehler angezeigt! Ich habe jedoch alle Daten auf ihre Korrektheit überprüft und kann keine Fehleingabe finden.

que faire sans détruire mes mails? salutations respectueuses

I've had a Thunderbird email account for years. My laptop quit, so I've set up the account on a new laptop. I discovered that I hadn't saved my Thunderbird password, so I followed the procedure for "forgot password". This included a new p/w, and I also got a Mozilla PIN (for future Microsoft Password Manager use), and got a Mozilla Account Recovery Key, again for future use. But I can't log into my Thunderbird account. I get the message "Authentication Error" (Wrong p/w, email, etc.) Changing IMAP / POP settings didn't help, though I did go with the recommended IMAP setting.

Any suggestions?

I've had issues with google and microsoft, changed passwords, now I get credentials messages when Bird tries to get email. I know its because of my password changes but can't fix it. (I edited this because I said authentification before instead of credentials)

My old email address was [redacted] @USIWireless.com. I got a new email address: [redacted] @icloud.com I am trying to set up my new email address with Thunderbird and when I do the steps I get an error message. "Unable to log in at server probably wrong configuration, user name or password. I am using my new email address with its password. Not sure what to do next. I would really like to get my new email on Thunderbird. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thank you for any help! Anthony Berka
