Thunderbird and GoDaddy account

I'm trying to add my godaddy account, the email format is firstname.lastname@mydomain.com, receiving works fine with IMAP, but SMTP isn't working (I probably have to ask GoDaddy to enable the SMTP option somewhere because I can't find it). I was using this account fine with Outlook on my windows desktop.

Since it's working fine in Outlook, I was trying to get thunderbird to let me setup an exchange account but it's not letting me as it can't find the settings and dumps me to the manual config area. I'm assuming that since it worked in Outlook, Outlook is using the Exchange path and I can't get that option to appear in thunderbird when adding the account, nor can I manually add an exchange account.

Here are the details and troubleshooting I've done.

I'm on EndeavorOS and installed thunderbird with pacman, help-> about shows I'm on version 152.0.

Thunderbird 152 fails to discover a GoDaddy-managed Microsoft 365 Exchange Online mailbox. Exchange AutoDiscover reports "Cannot contact server", falls back to IMAP hostname guessing, and eventually produces an invalid hostname error instead of offering an Exchange account. SMTP AUTH is disabled on the tenant, so the IMAP/SMTP fallback cannot be used. When it fails it brings me to the manual add screen and defaults the hostname in there as .totalitconsultingllc.com (which is shows red errors because the hostname is due to the leading .)

The SMTP error: 535 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Tenant

dig autodiscover.totalitconsultingllc.com resolves correctly to Microsoft Exchange Online. autodiscover-s.outlook.com returns 401 Unauthorized (expected). Thunderbird logs: Cannot contact server no SRV record AggregateError: No Promise in Promise.any was resolved Thunderbird falls back to guessing IMAP/POP/SMTP hostnames instead of offering Exchange.

Here is the log while trying to add the account:

Hi there,

I currently have three email accounts set up in my Thunderbird client. I’d like to disable the automatic marking of messages as read—but only for one specific account (mainly for my colleagues’ convenience, as it’s a shared inbox).

In Settings > General, I see the option to turn off "Automatically mark messages as read", but this would apply to all my accounts, which isn’t what I want. I’ve checked the Account Settings for the relevant account and couldn’t find a per-account option. I also looked for an add-on that might help, but so far, no luck.

Has anyone found a workaround or solution for this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance, Cheers.

I have TB 145.0 on a Mac.

When my trash gets pretty full, I empty the trash then restart TB just to have a fresh start. Been doing this for years. Well, I did it just now and when TB restarted I got a warning that said Thunderbird is an app I downloaded from the internet, do I trust it? First time that has happened.d I clicked on the button that said to go ahead and open it.

When TB opened, it wasn't aware of any of my email accounts. It's almost like I was opening it for the first time – except for 187 random old emails in an inbox.

Is there a way to recover from this? I had a lot of emails stored in inboxes and outboxes that would be disastrous for me to lose. They aren't there right now.
