Is there a bug in the code for v152? I need to connect to a ms office 365 email account with requires OAuth

The create new account process does not work, because it forces you to go through the whole (manual) process which then fails because you cannot select the Oauth option from Authentication method dropdown box - because its not there !.

This URL with the process to add OAuth: https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=419&q=setting+OAuth+in+thunderbird&cvid=22ed20c67b3843d58ddbc136bed2f174&gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgYIABBFGDkyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQABhAMgYIAhAAGEAyBggDEAAYQNIBCTExMjgyajBqN6gCCLACAQ&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=ASTS

fails at Step 2 because it does not let you complete to then go to Step 3 - because the account is never created !

How do I fix this ? thanks

PRELUDE: I have Thunderbird (TB) Version 152.0.1 (64-bit)

I have 45+ email addresses, some at various different domains, 8 (was 10 yesterday) Email accounts with Shaw that was taken over by Rogers. It's been a nightmare. I now have TB working almost as it should, and am use to but, one account has issue.

I tried to format this so it's easy to follow, but more formatting is not available so please see the pictures attached. Pics are self explanatory, but in case, pic 1 shows 3 accounts. The address with issues is the middle address (fake-two (faketwo@there.xy). The other 2, fake-one and fake-three have all their folders.

ANSWERS to possible questions: I used a outside mail to send/receive to/from fake-two. It receives and sends Email.

I have been using Thunderbird for about 15 years. I use POP3 access to download a copy of each email into Thunderbird, and then use filters to move emails from each of multiple accounts into a subfolder under local folders. I have one account which is no longer active, but all the emails were still stored in the subfolder. Today, I went to look at the emails in this account, which hasn't been looked at for at least 5 years. When I clicked the subfolder to see the emails, I got a popup window which looked like an OAUTH access window, not the list of my stored emails. I'm afraid I didn't pay much attention to the popup window, I just closed it so I could try again. When I closed the window, the subfolder disappeared. I have no idea how to get it back, since I still want to keep those emails. Does anyone know how to get it back?

First this is an installation on a PC. My local folders for Thunderbird are stored on an external drive. I rarely need to go to this drive, but on occasion I store a temp file for use on another PC. I was doing just that when I noticed a large number of SBD folders and MSF files there. For general description, on that drive I have local folder for Thunderbird. I also have folders A through Z which have nothing to do with Thunderbird, just other misc. folders for temp use. Thunderbird has gone through and created a second folder for each folder A through Z and an MSF file for each folder. Each one of these SBD folders has a sub SBD folder for each file that is in the original folder and an MSF file. Is it safe to delete all of these folders since they are not any part of emails. Why and how to prevent this from happening to stop clutter in my primary folder. Thank you for any advice and help.

I have a Trash Bin which had Subfolders under it.. Not thinking I emptied the Trash Bin and the SUBFOLDERS DELETED as well. Is there any way I can RECOVER THE SUBFOLDERS and Emails in them. I am 74 years of age and not very Computer or Email savvy so please keep it simple. Thanks Joe

There is (of all things!) almost too much information to process about using Firefox's email, messaging, and security options. It seems there is no longer a dedicated email application, and I cannot disentangle what I need to do to either move completely from gmail or mask my gmail account somehow through a maze of layers.

I logged into email today and most of my folders are missing from left side of screen. I have inbox, deleted, sent, and a couple more i created. I missing many folders I created. I have not had a problem like this and have used thunderbird for many years.

I permanently deleted all my emails in my inbox and all the folders underneath is there a way to get them back? Can you force a download to this computer, [redacted]@peoplepc.com, from say 7-9-26? I am hoping to God you have a back up.... I lost so much stuff that I need.

I deleted my emails in my inbox (and several other folders by default), by accident. Can you download them back to my computer? [redacted] @peoplepc.com.... Please help. La Nae Duchesneau [redacted]

Hi, I have a Yahoo account in Thunderbird. Every time I try to create a folder, it doesn't appear immediately. I have to close Thunderbird and reopen it to see the new folder on my folder list. This doesn't happen with other email accounts, like Gmail or NetworkSolutions, only with Yahoo.

Thank you for any information on how to correct it, or whether other people are having the same problem.

trying to sort my inbox by sender to consolidate ones from a sender. found a solution but could not figure out how. said:

view/sort/sender

cant figure out where to find the 'view' option

In my Thunderbird I have some folders with names printed italic starting with "INBOX". The folders are empty, so it's easy to delete them. After deleting I don't see the folders anymore. But after shutting down Thunderbird and starting Thunderbird again, the folders are back... How do I delete the folders to not see them anymore?? (see also attached screen print)

Best regards, Marianne

Have been using Juno Email Accounts for past 10 years with Thunderbird Email Client Program for downloading Emails off the cloud. It is now more difficult to make contact with Juno for Tech Support. To do Email one has to have an Email Address and Password ... THEN they need the Incoming Email Server with the Type of server ( POP, SMTP, IMAP ) . Long Story Short it is now Impossible to Install Mozilla Thunderbird onto Win10 Machines.

My Email Address is [edited] @Juno.com ... My Text Mail Address is [edited]

I am transferring my thunderbird folder to a new computer and it is 235 GB. I dont understand why it is so large. Are ALL my emails being saved? How do I delete so I can make smaller??

Until recently I could click and hold and drag a message from my inbox to any other folder that I had on the left of the screen. It just recently stopped doing this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am running Thunderbird 140.12.1esr (64-bit) on a windows 11 pc.
