As of 2100hrs yesterday my Thunderbird retrieved my gmail emails just fine. As of 0900hrs today, it won't connect. And I get error messages and end up in a loop that goes round and round until it finely says "too many commands". It's been working fine for years, now not so much.

I have 3 email addresses (2 are gmail addresses) that I have used in Thunderbird for years. My current version is 91.10.0. As of today, I cannot receive or send any new gmail emails through Thunderbird. I don't believe the "automatic update" converted my authentication method to OAuth2.0 because all three of my accounts still said "normal password". As suggested on your website I have tried to change the OAuth but when I go to Passwords I do NOT see "oauth://accounts.googlecom (https://mail.googlecom/)". I tried to delete the passwords and restarted Thunderbird several times but without success.

I get error messages "unable to authenticate to outgoing server. Please check the password." I have changed the password but again no success.

I have checked that cookies are turned on for all sites.

Do you have any ideas how I can correct the situation so I can receive and send emails again?

A few days ago I got error message from Thunderbird: "Sending of password for user crangard65@gmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted.

Later the same day, after shutting down PC, got into Thunderbird without any problem. Has been OK for a few days then yesterday the same error appeared. I have no problem accessing my gmail directly via Firefox using my usual username and password.

Any suggestions?

Operating system is Linux 4.15.0-163-generic and Thunderbird version is 78.14.0, Build ID 20210901192859

Thank you.

I have 6 gmail accounts which until last Thursday were all working fine on Thunderbird. However, I received an email for my main account from google telling me that they were switching on 2 step authentication, whether I wanted it or not.

After that imap stopped working for this 1 account. So I logged out of google for this account, and logged in again, using 2 step via phone. Still not working.

So I checked all my Imap settings with googles instructions, updated from the default smtp server, and still nothing.

Went back to google, and found I could switch off 2 step verification which I did. Thunderbird now partially works. I can download emails but when I come to send or save as draft, I get the error message as shown.

I am using Firefox to interact with Babbel language software. I cannot get Firefox to allow me to use my standalone microphone. I tried all the Firefox recommended fixes, but I cannot make them work. I go to the "Microphone" permission setting. There is nothing listed there and it will "not" allow me to add the Babbel website? What do I need to do to allow my microphone to work with Babbel?

Thank You, William A.

I installed Windows 11 and Firefox on a new PC. I used Firefox Sync to get my bookmarks onto the new PC. Firefox is version 101.0. I'm using Windows 11 Home, 10.0.22000, Build 22000.

When Firefox is opened it immediately asks for the Primary Password, then immediately asks for it again. I have to cancel the 2nd request before I can enter the PW in the first request.

Is there a fix for these multiple requests?

Thank you.

Gmail refuses to allow Thunderbird to connect as it is "less secure" app. I used to have access using a "app password" but now even that does not work. Microsoft will be doing something similar this fall. So ThunderBird will not be able to work with Microsoft or Google mail servers. I installed OWL as a temporary work around, but I have multiple email accounts on several domains, and "ModernAuth" seems to use a web access and cookies, which means only ONE email address per domain can be used. What is the work around?

Hi: I use Thunderbird 38.7.2 on a MacBook Pro with MacOS 10.11.6. Thunderbird tells me that it is up to date, and that I am on the release update channel.

As of today, 9 June 2022, Gmail rejects my password, and re-entering it does not help.

I went into Preferences/Account Settings/<account_name>/Server Settings/Security Settings, Options are

    Normal Password
    Encrypted Password
    Kerberos/GSSAPI
    NTLM
    TLS Certificate.

Nothing about OAuth2.

Read that version 38 of Thunderbird is supposed to be OAuth2 compatible, so I'm stuck. As Thunderbird thinks it is up to the latest and greatest, I cannot update it to something newer. And I do not see a way to enable OAuth2.

The answer is probably obvious. just not to me.

after a recent upgrade (91.10.1) Thunderbird no longer has the question about remote content on the email view page. The one with options like show all remote from _ or show only remote content from _. Stilll has the exception section in Settings. Emails show embedded content on webmail. What gives?

I went to settings and set firefox to open links in a NEW TAB instead of a new window, but it still opens links in a new window. I did a search on google and when I click on the link for the website to see the information it is still opening in a new window. How can I fix this so I don't have a lot of new windows. It's irritating to have to close all those stinking windows just to get back to my original window. I just want the links I click on to open in a new tab.

I was notified by google that someone had my password and tried to log into my gmail account. I changed my password. Thunderbird requested the new password and I was unable to download messages. Then I tried to send a message and again Thunderbird requested my password. It did not accept the password. Now when I try to receive messages my password is not accepted and I get the error message Login to server imap.gmail.com failed. The choices are Retry, Enter New Password and Cancel. I enter the new password and get the same error. I went to Google help and I ensured IMAP is enabled. I clicked the link about Captcha. I've tried everything. I have the latest version of Thunderbird.

Had a sign that I needed to update so I clicked update and it did not complete. I clicked Close Firefox and got XULRunner Error: Platform version '101.1' is not compatible with minVersion >=101.0 Max version <=101.0’ for ‘Firefox’ and can't,t get past it. I've updated for years and nothing like this has happened before. Do I need to uninstall and reinstall? if I do will I lose all my bookmarks and saved pages? Any other workarounds???
