Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi, I have two email accounts configured to Thunderbird. One stopped receiving emails this week. When I open TB, it's asking password for the account.

Then it shows at the screen bottom xxx@yyy.zz: Host contacted, sending login information.

then after a moment, a popup window says

Login to account "xxx@yyy.zz" failed Login to gamma.yyy.zz with username xxx failed.

Sending emails works ok.

Any ideas ? Possibly a corrupted profile ?

Best regards, Jarmo

Dear Thunderbird support team, I am for a few days unable to log into my account, because the program doesn´t recognize the password I set for the imap.wolrdserver.net. It shows the message in attachment. I changed the password for my account and the imap.worldserver.net with my email provider, however it did not work.

Do you have another idea how to fix this? Thank you in advance. Kind regards Elora Helmke

I've been using Thunderbird for years (Windows 11 PC), and all has been working fine as recently as last night. Starting this morning, I continuously get the error message, "Login to server mail.comcast.net with user name xxx failed" (xxx not my actual account name). I've tried the "Retry" and "Enter New Password" options to no avail. I can go directly to the Comcast website, login and get my email that way, but I can't get Thunderbird to login.

To my knowledge, nothing changed between last night and today, but yet something seems to have happened. Any ideas appreciated!
