Hello everyone,

Summary: I am trying to set up my gmail account on my new phone, but after (what appears to be) successfully logging in, the Thunderbird for Android application does not pull me back out of gmail. Instead, I remain logged in to my gmail account as if in a browser. As you can see from my photos, it takes me to the point where I am truly into my gmail inbox, but I am checking it as if in some sort of outdated browser and not as if in Thunderbird. I am stuck; sitting in my gmail account, logged in; able to view email, check and change account settings, even get onto other parts of my google account. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to get back out of my gmail account that returns me to the Thunderbird for Android accounts setup process with a successfully login to gmail. I end up having to hit exit or to close the app, which causes the account setup to fail.

Expected Behavior: Open the Thunderbird for Android App. Setup new account (gmail which produces an automatically detected OAuth 2.0 method). Give login credentials, gain access to gmail, and then be auto-redirected back to accounts setup process in Thunderbird for Android with full IMAP + SMTP access to my gmail.

Problematic Behavior: Same as above, except I am stuck as if in browser mode. When I exit and thus am returned back to the accounts setup page, I receive a failed notice (see photo). Immediately afterward, I tried to setup an account for the same gmail address on an old android phone and successfully logged in as expected. How do I get back to the main accounts dialog with a success?

Notes: The new phone is a linux-based phone (Furilabs FLX1s) on which I have found Android apps to function without hiccup. It seems like In fact, the Thunderbird for Android app itself seems to function fine. It doesn't crash. It allows me to navigate through the app menus flawlessly.


Thanks for the help!

Hello I am dev from Hanbiro Inc, My Firefox Add-ons developer account appears to have been blocked. I am unable to access the developer dashboard and receive the error: "You do not have permission to perform this action."

Additionally, one of my extensions shows that it has been blocked because the author has been banned.

However, I did not receive any email or notification explaining the reason for this action.

This extension was intended for private/internal use only and was not meant for public distribution. It does not collect user data, perform tracking, or execute remote code.

I would like to request clarification on: - The reason my account was blocked - Whether this action can be appealed or reversed - What specific changes are required to comply with Mozilla policies

I am willing to modify the extension to fully comply with all guidelines.

Thank you for your time and assistance. If needed, I can provide the extension source code for review.

Bug Report: Auto-Account Setup generates invalid SMTP hostname (".gmail.com") causing OAuth2 authorization loop to freeze

To: Thunderbird Development & Support Team Subject: Gmail Account Wizard incorrectly configures SMTP, causing OAuth2 window completion failure

Dear Thunderbird Team,

I am writing to politely report a critical bug we recently identified during the automated account creation process for a Google Mail (Gmail) account. The bug prevents the Google OAuth2 authentication window from closing and ultimately halts the account setup process.

Environment Context Account Type: IMAP/SMTP (Gmail) Authentification: OAuth2 Description of the Issue When using the Thunderbird Account Setup Wizard to connect a new @gmail.com email address, the wizard automatically pulls configuration data for Google services. However, the configuration pulled for the outgoing server (SMTP) is consistently corrupted.

Specifically, the following variables are written to the prefs.js file:

IMAP Configuration: Generates correctly as imap.gmail.com with authMethod: 10 (OAuth2). SMTP Configuration: Incorrectly generates the hostname as literally ".gmail.com" (missing the "smtp" prefix) and assigns authMethod: 0 (None) instead of 10 (OAuth2). (e.g., user_pref("mail.smtpserver.smtpX.hostname", ".gmail.com");) Symptoms and Behavior OAuth2 Window Hang: Because the SMTP server address is malformed (.gmail.com) and cannot be resolved, when the user successfully authenticates in the Google OAuth2 pop-up and grants all permissions, Thunderbird attempts to finalize the setup against the non-existent SMTP gateway. This silent background failure results in the OAuth2 pop-up window spinning/hanging indefinitely with the message "Waiting for authorization". It never closes. UI Blank Dropdown Bug: If the user forces the wizard closed and attempts to view the new IMAP profile in Account Settings -> Server Settings, the "Authentication Method" dropdown is entirely blank (no text, no selectable options). This occurs because the crashing wizard also fails to inject user_pref("mail.server.serverX.is_gmail", true); into prefs.js. Without the is_gmail flag, the legacy UI is unable to map the internal authMethod: 10 integer to the "OAuth2" string in the dropdown menu. Working Solution / Workaround Used The issue is definitively tied to the automated wizard's database fetch/parsing mechanism. We were able to completely bypass this bug by closing Thunderbird and manually injecting the pristine configuration directly into the core prefs.js file:

Fixing the SMTP hostname to smtp.gmail.com. Setting mail.smtpserver.smtpX.authMethod to 10. Supplying user_pref("mail.server.serverX.is_gmail", true); to fix the UI rendering. Defining proper directory and directory-rel paths for the storeContractID. Upon restarting Thunderbird with the manual internal configuration applied, the OAuth2 pop-up window appeared on the first sync, processed the Google token instantly, and closed successfully without any hangs.

Conclusion Please investigate the ISP auto-configuration database logic that is currently generating .gmail.com as the SMTP hostname. This flaw breaks the entire OAuth2 token routing mechanism and creates a highly confusing infinite loop for everyday users trying to add their Google accounts.

Thank you for your hard work and for keeping Thunderbird an incredible email client!

Best regards.

2 inbox accounts appeared on my email program after an unplanned windows 11 upgrade when I was adding a new SSD on my laptop.

My original inbox was fwmc@nacs.net. The new addition is fwmc@nacs.net(IMAP) (that is the way it is displayed on my screen)

There are some duplicate emails in the 2 inboxes but also some unique emails in each box.

How can I get back to 1 inbox?

I have set up 2fa with my email provider (email is rdoty@gmx.com) and set an app-specific password for Thunderbird. Gmx also supports OAuth2. I have reset the passwords in Thunderbird to the app-specific one and confirmed that both ends accept cookies. The SMTP server is mail.gmx.com, port 465. Connection security is SST/TLS. The IMAP email is IMAP.gmx.com. The problem is that Thunderbird does not change Authentication Method to OAuth2. When it queries GMX it always times out or is refused. What am I missing or needs to be changed?

I have tried over and over again to add a gmail account to Thunderbird, it was there before but stopped working so I deleted it and tried to readd it but now I get an error when adding it that is it the wrong email address or password which is not the case, as I just added it to Outlook and it worked perfectly.

Any ideas?
