I am trying to read my gmail email using Thunderbird. However, once I fill in the server configuration, I get a 2fa pop-up window with an error message. See attached.

What can I do to get this to work? Or is Thunderbird unable to access gmail?

Thanks in advance, Mike.

I have three email accounts in Thunderbird on my Windows 10 PC which are all with Yahoo. The accounts are ex Sky accounts but are now run by Yahoo.

I am replacing that PC with a Windows 11 laptop so I need to migrate.

I exported the Thunderbird data using the export tool and when I imported the file into the new Thunderbird installation on the laptop I got three pop up messages from yahoo asking me to agree to allow access but they all related to the first of the accounts. I can send and receive from the first account but can neither send or receive from the other two accounts.

I have tried deleting the last two accounts and adding them manually but the yahoo pop up again refers to the first account.

Any suggestions?

great email client if you could even sign in. my issue is I have two (a whole two!) outlook accounts. I made a new profile to confirm it's not just an old profile which should not be an issue anyway and I get greeted with the original nice onboarding tool, I enter my email and click continue, it pops a window asking for my oauth2 crap and its done and setup! Perfect now I go to add another account and get a Different window/page from before, Ok cool enter email Oauth2 pops and I do that, then sends me to the password page asking for a password and "Your login" whatever that's suppose to be. entering a password does nothing but fail (makes sense since outlook only likes oauth2 at the moment) and I have no idea what to fill "Your login" with. the Continue button is greyed out and closing the login window shows it was never added.

now to make this worse this started with being unable to send an email. there is NO way that I can find to refresh the outgoing server auth token if it either expires or breaks (which does seem to happen even if it's not "suppose to"), apart from removing and re adding the account but as stated above that is also broken you can't send emails from thunderbird unless you save the draft and send it from another device that works

more testing and the "new" login tool failed and worked at the same time it didn't ask for oauth the second time I tried but worked and could send...

like it's mainly two things that are broken, the newish login tool and the inability to refresh oauth tokens if it fails I'm running linux but this happens to people I know that use this In a work and personal capacity on windows as well. like do some basic login testing at least with outlook accounts like that might be the main issue but still they are one of the big players and this is unacceptable for a email client

I just started having issues with Thunderbird. When I open it I'm getting the error: Login to server imap-mail.outlook.com with username has failed. I've tried entering my password, no luck. Changed my password and can open my hotmail account in outlook so I know the new password is right, but still no luck in Thunderbird. After too many Retry attempts I get an error in the bottom corner that says something like: the server is offline or may be disconnected (disappears too quick to catch it).

Thoughts on how to resolve?

Thanks, Kevin

I use 2 different gmail accounts for different purposes. I get mail for AccountA via IMAP on Thunderbird, no problem, and have for years. For over a year now I've been unable to collect mail for my second-string address, AccountB, on Thunderbird, and have had to get it in the browser.

I've finally decided to do something about this. I removed AccountB from Thunderbird & set it up again. I'm using the exact same settings (in Thunderbird and in Gmail) that I do for AccountA, the only difference is the password. I've double-checked the password, too. But when I try to connect, I get a pop-up:

titled: Enter credentials for AccountB@gmail.com on imap.gmail.com [a very long URL which I've copied & saved] page from Google:

400. That's an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know.

Thanks a heap, guys!

Is this problem coming from Thunderbird, or from Google? What do I do now?

Thanks,

Trying to get my laptop PC (Windows) Thunderbird to accept change in gmail password. Laptop shows blown-up (Thunderbird, I assume?) screen asking me to click on "allow" button. No such button is visible: presumably it is off-screen? I've tried everything mentioned on internet to deal with this, and nothing works. Thunderbird + gmail worked perfectly on that Dell laptop until I changed the gmail password (using my desktop PC). Any suggestions would be appreciated. E.g., should I take the laptop to BestBuy or another service point? Or am I overlooking something? THANKS, Fred

This is getting completely ridicolous! First SMPT failed to connect, than IMAP stopped working with our years old perfect working OAuth2 config. So we deleted in the end the program. re-installed the latest version of Thunderbird and tried to reconnect our Gmail account with our user/password (both 1000% correct!!), all on Oauth2 according to your help, but nothing works, simply getting error message that either config, user or password are incorrect.

Hi guys, what is going on? This our business account, and we URGENTLY need it up and running again. Please HELP!

I have been using the Thunderbird email client on my Mac for a long time to access my corporate Gmail account. (This is not a personal Gmail account, it is a corporate Gmail linked with Okta.)

In this corporate Gmail account, I do not have access to "App Password" settings or "Less Secure App Access" options. Everything was working fine until 25th April 25. On that day, I updated my Okta password, which also affected my Gmail account because Gmail is connected through Okta.

Since then, my Thunderbird email client has stopped working. It keeps asking me to allow Thunderbird to access Gmail, and even though I allowed it many times, the same pop-up keeps appearing. To troubleshoot the issue, I have tried the following steps:

• Reset my Okta password again to rule out any password issues. (I am able to log in to Gmail successfully with the new password and I can configure the same Gmail account with the Mac Mail app without any issue.)

• Upgraded the Thunderbird client to version 137.0.2.

• Cleared saved passwords and cleared cookies. (Note: "Accept cookies from sites" is enabled under Web Content settings.)

• Deleted the account from Thunderbird and tried to re-add it.

After this, I started getting the error: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

• While adding the account, I entered my name and email address, left the password field blank, unchecked "Remember Password", and filled in the configuration manually.

When I clicked on "Re-test", it detected the server settings correctly. But when I clicked on "Done", I got the same error again.

• Created a completely new profile in Thunderbird and tried again, but still faced the same issue:

"Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

• Uninstalled Thunderbird completely and reinstalled it, but the issue still remains. (Please refer to the attached screenshot.)

• I tried the troubleshooting mode, which disables all the add-ons and themes, but the issue is still the same.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but Gmail has made some changes (see the link https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?visit_id=638814378228955739-1844270273&hl=en&rd=1). This might be causing the issue, though it was working fine until I reset my password on April 25th.

When I've clicked on 'Show Passwords' before, they have always appeared - but today this screen was displayed.

I thought my user name was: first name (abbreviated), followed by a space and my surname - as it appears on emails I send.

As for the password, I never set a master password when I downloaded Thunderbird and imported all my mail accounts.

I tried entering the password set for signing into the PC I was using without success.

I therefore don't know how to satisfy Windows Security with user name or / and password.

If you had this problem and overcame it, please tell me how. Thank you!

i cannot get Gmail configured in Thunderbird. ive deleted it and re tried countless times but is keeps saying wrong credentials. ive followed all the guides and done everything . what is NOT happening , is Thunderbird does not open a browser to sign in with google. why?

When I try to add my Outlook account, the authentication process requires a password input rather than redirecting to Microsoft’s OAuth2 login flow. My Outlook account is configured as passwordless, meaning I typically sign in via Microsoft Authenticator, biometrics, or a security key. I have already tried deleting and recreating my Thunderbird profile, but the issue persists. Since this is my first time adding this Outlook account, there is no existing outgoing server (SMTP) entry for Outlook in Thunderbird’s list. I attempted to manually configure the SMTP server (smtp.office365.com, port 587, oauth2), but the same password prompt appears, and I cannot proceed.

UNABLE TO RE-ADD MAIL ACCOUNTS TO THUNDERBIRD For the last three or four months I have been getting two separate messages in the bottom of the screen when opening Thunderbird on my laptop. "GMAIL settings are out of date" and "Yahoo settings are out of date". Then, a about a month ago when I opened Thunderbird I noticed that it was trying to download almost 3000 Gmail emails. I had always believed that only new Gmail messages would download on start up? Whilst this was happening it was impossiblle to do anything on my laptop as I had limited internet access. The only way I could see to stop this was to delete my Gmail account from Thunderbird. When I opened Thunderbird I continued to get the messages "settings are out of date" for each of my mail accounts. So I deleted my email accounts from Thunderbird with the intention of re-adding them. I then downloaded and re-installed Thunderbird to ensure I was on the latest version. I then tried to re-add my mail accounts, letting Thunderbird find and load the correct email settings for each account but I now get an error message saying "Unable to Log In at Server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password". Refer to attached screenshot. I can log in to my Mail Accounts OK using Firefox so I know my username and password are correct. I also tried adding my mail accounts manually in Thunderbird but I contiue to get the same message. I am unable to add my mail accounts to Thunderbird and I have run out of ideas regarding diagnosis and resolution. I need help please.

I recently transferred my Thunderbird account to a new PC and have been getting a pop-up to enter credentials for a google account every 10 minutes or so. After the pop-up is opened (sometimes in the background), no new mail will be fetched until the pop-up is closed, this is frustrating as I sometimes don't notice the pop-up so seems like I am not getting emails. The pop-up is for Google account, but my mail accounts is from MS Outlook, I don't use Thunderbird for any Gmail and I don't think this Thunderbird profile is associated in any way with my personal Google account.

This is a work computer, so not associated with my personal accounts. I dont want to put my personal Google login here and I don't know how to stop the pop-up.

The transfer was done by copying my profiles folder to the new PC, then installing Thunderbird and creating a new profile, and pointing to the profiles folder. I've had the same profiles folder for 10-15 years or more and not seen this before.

I can't sign-in to my Thunderbird account on my laptop. It's not recognizing my password. I've turned off the computer and opened the program again, to no avail. ANY help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Something changed. I’ve tried to set up my old AOL email account multiple times using different default browsers, and the setup typically fails. Using Edge, I get “Edge: Too Many Requests” . Using Firefox, I get “Waiting for authorization in login popup…” and then the old rotating arrow. After about a minute delay, the Account Hub reports “Authentication error.” The Thunderbird Account Hub reports the outgoing server settings test good. I’ve changed my AOL email password, and have an AOL application password ready to use, but never get asked. I’ve turned off two-step verification in AOL, but same Thunderbird behavior. I’ve got multiple computers, and this issue is the same on all. I’ve had no problem adding a Gmail and SBCGlobal.net account. Thunderbird is 144.0.1 (64-bit) release. Windows 11 Home, version 25H2. I really don't want to give up Thunderbird, but I need this account badly.

I am not able to login into my gmail account. Whenever I try to sign in, it shows the message as shown in the attached image. I have tried clearing all cookies and cache. Also removed all the extensions to see if it fixes it Please help me. I have Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Firefox version 131.0.3 (64-bit)

皆様、はじめまして。 先日、ThunderbirdにGmailアドレスも追加登録しました。 が、パスワード変更が必要になった為、Google で Gmail のパスワードを変更した後に、Thunderbirdに登録しているGmailアドレスでは受送信出来なくなりました。 従ってThunderbird での Gmail送信エラー画面でパスワードを変更しようとしたのですが「新しいパスワードを入力」への入力を受け付けてくれませんでした。 更にパスワードリストで変更出来るかとリストを出そうとしましたら、Thunderbirdがユーザー名とパスワードを聞いてきました。 でも、ThunderbirdはＰＣが変わっても、ダウンロード、インストールさせて頂くだけで、メールアドレス等の設定をすれば使えますので、敢えてユーザー名やパスワードを登録した記憶がございません？

結局、「その他」を選んだらPINを入れることによってパスワードは見られたのですが。 後でパスワードマネージャーのリストを見てもThunderbird は載っていませんでした。じゃあ、パスワードマネージャーは何というユーザー名を入れたのか？判らず気になります💦

Thunderbird が「メールアドレスのユーザー名」でなく？、単に「ユーザー名」と聞いてきた場合、何を入力すれば良いのでしょう？ 登録した複数のメールアドレスの中のどれかを入力すれば良かったのでしょうか？

その後、Googleから本人確認をしてきましたので、Gmailのパスワードを入れ、スマホで「はい、私です」をクリックしたら、ThunderbirdでもGmailの受送信が出来るようにはなりました。

ただ、もし、Thunderbird ソフトに対するユーザー名とパスワードがあるのなら、なんとかしないといけませんので、お尋ねしております。（初めてThunderbird を使わせていただいた頃のメールアドレスはスパムの為に削除して無くなっております。）

よろしくお願いいたします。m(__)m

Tbird pops open a browser like new window with a google url and a Sign in page (see screenshot). Pressing the next/submit button immediately shows an useless error page from Google (see other screenshot).

I removed the account and tried to re-add it, but it's the same problem.

Thunderbird just updated to this new Nebula version and now my Gmail account isn't working. I have other accounts setup and they seem to still work (Outlook based) It sits there trying to sync my calendar or I get Checking mail server capabilities. It also doesn't shutdown when I exit Thunderbird. What is going on?
