Thunderbird: форум сообщества

I'm having so much trouble with Apple Mail and Thunderbird saving my password and I do have an Apple User Defined Password. So, I'm constantly having to input my password. Any suggestion would be deeply appreciated!

Recently it's a daily occurrence that I must enter the password for my SMTP server. I always check "Use Password Manager to remember this password" but it doesn't help. The next day I'll have to go through this again.

I power on my machine multiple times each day, and I use Thunderbird each time. It doesn't happen each time. It seems to happen only the first time I use Thunderbird each day. This is new behavior. Before it would happen now and then, now it's daily.

I don't have a Primary Password. No need for it.

If you need to see the message I can send it to you, but I'm not attaching it right now because it shows my email address and the smtp destination. Maybe I'm being too careful.

I have 10 email accounts I have to monitor. When I set up Thunderbird on Windows, I entered all the account info and the passwords. I checked the box 'use password manager'. This worked well for a few days. After several days, I started the app again and it asked for every password again. I entered all the passwords again. This happened several more times. I sought help for the bug, but found none. Someone suggested deleting password database files in the Thunderbird data folders. This did not help. Someone else suggested that CCleaner may be deleting password data files, so I added the entire Thunderbird data folder to the scanner exclusion list. Yes, this may be a security risk, but I need this app to work, as I have not found any other app that even begins to get the job done. Ready to start looking for another email app now, unless someone can fix this problem. It is not reasonable to expect me to lookup and restore 10 passwords every time I check my mail.

After moving the data file to a new windows 11 machine, the Password Vault no longer remembers passwords. How do I fix? Online searches have told me to delete several files in the Profile folder. I have done this several times w/o success. What are my options other than to find another email client? Thanks, Hank

I've been using Thunderbird on our pc for decades, but it I believe the last software update has corrupted the "Password Manager". Since then, almost every time I attempt to log in, I receive the message about my password is incorrect, even though I have changed and checked the box that states something like "use Password Manager" for it. This is naturally "driving me crazy". Is there going to be a fix or is it just my problem? Thank you!

Using Thunderbird to check emails and the calendar for an Infomaniak account: The account was active and working properly. After switching this account to 2FA, Thunderbird consistently requested a username and password during synchronization. After some research, the solution is as follows: you need to create a new app password with Infomaniak, then ensure that Thunderbird saves the password and that the “Require device authentication...” option is disabled. Would it be possible to provide a complete step-by-step guide for next time? Thank you.

I have 8 email accounts. Four of them use my service provider; "@Bell.net", and four of them are gmail accounts. When I open my Thunderbird app two things happen. A Google web page opens asking "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants access to your Google Account". with a reference to one of my gmail addresses. This web page opens when I shut down Thunderbird as well. Secondly, Thunderbird asks me for the passwords for each of my four Bell accounts. I have tried everything suggested, deleting passwords, deleting profile files, you name it. I've been at this on 4 separate occasions, with this last one lasting 2+ hours. I'm at a complete loss. When I suggest deleting Thunderbird and reloading it, I'm told that may not fix the problem because it would still reference potentially corrupted files. Please help!

Please excuse the length of this but it's necessary.

Began using Thunderbird (TB) in June, 2026 accessing email from wowway using POP3 (I know not imap, but old habits die hard). Changed password on wow in July and changed it in TB. Thereafter, and up until yesterday, TB was unable to logon to wow. However, the new PW allowed access to emails by browser logon to wow; old PW failed as it should. Frustrated with not being able to use TB with new PW: - deleted AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird folder (profiles and all) - recovered a backed up copy of TB folder from mid June when things were working and copied it to AppData/Roaming. Bingo, was able to get and send emails. Puzzled, looked at TB Saved Passwords and verified the old PW was being used. To verify this, I sent an email to myself, pressed F5 to get mail and it was in the inbox, and also on wow server.. BOTTOM LINE: There is no question that TB is using an old, changed wow PW. And if PW in TB is changed to new PW, access to wow fails. How can this be? Help please.

Witam. Mam problem z hasłem. Za każdym razem kiedy wysyłam email thunderbird żąda wpisania hasła informując, że takie nie zostało odnalezione. Po wpisaniu wiadomość zostaje wysłana ale przy następnym wysyłaniu historia się powtarza. W menadżerze jest zapisane hasło, ale thunderbird nie odczytuje go. Nie pomogły żadne usuwania i restarty. Proszę o pomoc.

I have 8 TB emails. Every morning when I open email, all passwords need to be re-entered, sometimes 2-3 times a day. I have done everything YouTube has suggested and looked for similar issues and fixes on the forum, including creating an initial PW to open the main TB email account. No success yet! I have a PC; if that helps answer the question. I also recently downloaded an update, which did not fix it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Carl

I changed my password in my email provider. TB kept saying that it was the wrong password. After a few unsuccessful tries I rebooted tb. It worked. Then, whenever I opened tb it asked for password. I then tried checking 'password manager' and it remembered the password. Fine. Could have been easier. 1. Notice that tb requires reboot to accept password change. 2. Explanation that password manager is "remember password so you don't need to enter every time".

A little more nitpicking: For as long as I have used tb I cannot print a selection of an email. It wants to print the whole thing, along with headers. I have to select, copy, paste to notepad, then print. Could be easier.
