After the latest update: Every time I send a message and have selected at recipient, the program searches for a cetificate, allthough encryption is swichted off. A box appears for each recipient for about a minute, unless I stop the search (see image). Essentially, the program acts, as if I had selected encryption. This was newer an issue before latest update.

I was subscribed to a large distribution list, but then unsubscribed. But I didn't unsubscribe. So I subscribed again, but was soon unsubscribed again! My email address and password may have been hacked. So I logged into my Comcast ISP and changed my email password. Then I started Thunderbird, and as expected, it asked for my password, and I gave it. My email came up. I tried sending an email and it asked for a sending password. I ignored it, but after a long delay, it refused to send the message. So I tried again, this time giving it my new email password. The sending then worked. I assumed all was now OK.

But, as a final test, I exited Thunderbird, and then restarted. It again came up OK with my emails shown. Then I again tried sending a test message to myself. But it again asked for my sending password! Thinking this might be a scam, I put in a password of "bullshit". Then I received the following popup message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Polite people say HELO first. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

What!!! It sure seems like someone (at Thunderbird?) is in the loop grabbing my password before encoding it for storage. A similar thing happened in the past, where I think my account was hacked. So, was this a hacking attempt, and if so, was it from Thunderbird software or my Comcast ISP?

I have 4 e-mail accounts in TB, and I want to switch from the current default account to another. But how do I do that. I cannot see any button, place where to do that in the settings. Why the heck does TB needs to be so tricky to deal with, compared to Outlook?

I am having issues with Thunderbird not retaining my email server and passwords. Each time I want to send an email, it prompts me for the password and then tells me that the email address and server don't match. I have tried numerous times to correct this, but it doesn't hold the information. It also switches the server info between accounts. I have 3 different email account and sometimes only one works correctly

I had someone breaking into a number of my accounts. They used my account to sign into Firefox. And I got an account authorization code, but I'm afraid to use the email in case it is them getting more info!!

Hi. with Firefox not able to get default colors on twitter. With other browser no problem - i've got default colors All Extensions disabled, restarted - but no change

I've got notifications informing me with various sentences. That my account has been hacked, Scammers have your passwords, your card details have been stolen. These messages are only in Notifications not one email received. I feel they are scams. Anyone else had this. All my accounts are locked down so I'm not alarmed. And all is fine. Anyone out there that can offer their experience? Thanks

For System Administrative reasons, I want to disable automatic Firefox updates. Firefox can ask me if I want to install an update, but I get to choose whether or not to update.

This is almost surely a "security" or "privacy" design, but it's an error. In Firefox - only (this works fine in Chrome) - if I open the LastPass Firefox Extension, find a Site, and Copy the password, then go directly to an open AnyDesk remote access connection, and Paste (or, lightning bolt menu, Insert from Clipboard), what gets pasted is a single wrong character, NOT the password that IS in the clipboard. (If I paste instead into e.g. a local Notepad window, the actual password gets pasted). I asked AnyDesk support about this, and they confirmed that it's something that Firefox is doing. It shouldn't. Copy is copy. Paste is paste. Why would Firefox do something so that copied text (which just happens to be a password from a password vault extension) pastes wrong when the destination just happens to be a remote desktop client (AnyDesk) to send the password through to complete a login at the remote end? Anyway, how to turn off this wrong behaviour? thank you. (Windows 11 Pro, 64-bit, 23H2, Firefox current - 125.something today, but this has been going on for some weeks at least, AnyDesk version 8 current)

thank you for taking out my new real email that I wish to use a sign-in ID I read the ibstructions to not leave personal info.But I was wondering how Iwould get an answer -- and of course I just have to check back here regulary. If Mr. Moderrator you know a link to solve my problem I would appreciate.

Sincere Thanks Paul

Windows 10 --22H2 ---Sorry.

We are using three locations to send emails from this email address. One of the computers at one home, sometime in mid April, was put into a block of some kind for having a PUP (the best I can figure out, don't really understand this stuff.) We had the block removed and most emails are now going through from that one computer. The other computers never had a problem getting their emails to the recipients. The one computer that had trouble, now has Maleware Bytes and Adwcleaner installed, that's what we did to get out of email jail I guess.

The problem is, any of the people that we attempted to email during the week or so that our email was in jail, even though it is fixed, our emails to those people are not getting to them still. We have to use another email address to get them to receive from thunderbird sent from our one computer.

We are not super computer savvy as far as this behind the scenes computer technology goes and need help so that we can reach all our customers reliably. We did try to identify if we were still blacklisted and saw 1 hit but don't understand how to fix it now that we have the additional spyware type stuff added to our computer. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Please someone help me with this. My primary email has been breeched and because I was honest with the service --instead of just saying I need help resetting my password. Thay are asking me to send them a copy of my drivers' license and a photo "selfie" of myself to recover my account.

This is where I draw the line -- all invasions of privacy we have learned to live with but not this -- I could give them the transaction ID from my last Payment from Paypal period -- but that was not good enough. If I was being deceitfull I could easily provide the crdentials they ask for and it could all be fake; so I told them to get lost as I was paying for the Premium service anyway. I can contintue to use that as my ID but sonner or later someone is going to want to send me a code there and I can't retrieve it. Tonight they did not ask so I was able to get in here.

Everybody has a place to change your password but few have a place to change your sign-in ID. If I can get back into Firefox with a new ID and set 2 step validation I shouls be okay as faras the average user gors. The other option that I know of is to stary a new Firefox account. I alread have a lot of people and business's that I have to get my new email to.

Thanks To Anyone with any ideas.

Sincerely Paul

The email acount I was using to sign-in to Firefox has been breached annd the onlyway I can recover it involves sending drivers license photo and current photo ofmy delf -- ehich would not prove snything. If somebody hsd my enough info they could fake that easy enough. Although they have takenaway allour privacy I refuse to send them that info.

If I had simply said I need helpchanging my password they never would have known. I was honest about the reason I needed a new password. Ended in my contacting Paypal and telling them to not acceot any more charges as I had the Premium email.

So noe I need a new sign-in here and Firefox becuase if I am asked code to be retrieved from that provider I won't be able to get it.

If someone can help me please send notice to : [email address]

Thanks in advance Paul
