I am unable to sign in, it asks for my gmail password which I give, and it is correct, but I am unable to sign in and I keep keep the enter your password again and again. I am able to sign into my gmail on this computer through gmail directly, and also on my iPhone so I know my password is correct. I have been using Thunderbird for years and would like to continue to do so.

Google has disabled POP access in Thunderbird. Specifically they have removed the option to allow "Less Secure Apps" from downloading emails using POP access. They define "Less Secure" as apps requiring only a username and password. Currently (as of June 2022) Thunderbird can not download Gmail emails using POP.

Just FYI I will gladly give up Gmail and keep Thunderbird. I believe the only workaround is to have Gmail forward all emails to another, more friendly, email provider until I am able to convert all my contacts.

Thanks!

Today I can not access my thunderbird email. Must be the Google issue, worked yesterday. I have updated to the latest 91.10.0 release and still have the issue. Appears the update that should have updated the settings for this google situation, did not apply. Followed the instructions for possible correction: changed the accept cookies to all copies and always. Do not see a Config Editor under the General Preferences. At least not an area labeled as such. Do not know the status of javascript within my system. Current passwords do not have the oauth preceding any password. What steps should I take to correct this issue and be able to retrieve my emaii? Could not find a phone number available to contact support on this matter. David Brunton

I've been running TB38/linux for a long time and have many extensions and .css entries. In order to comply with gmail's upcoming OAuth2 requirement, I just installed TB91 and copied over the contents of my TB38 profile into the newly-created profile.

Imagine my disgust to find that none of my .css entries (mostly involving fonts not dealt with in the preferences) and most of my extensions and colors are inoperative. I've been tweaking TB since it was Netscape .9 and appearance and LEGIBILITY (Arial bold) is really important for something that I use for many hours per day. Quite frankly, I hate this new version. If I have to I will use it in order to avoid losing my SORTED email going back to 1995, but I'll do it resentfully.

It has been my experience that with each update I lose something of value to me -- hence my stop at V38. What is the oldest version of Thunderbird/linux that will satisfy gmail's OAuth2 requirement?

I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering...

I am having trouble sending emails. I am asked to loginto server smtp.googlemail with username ... nad then asked to enter the password but it wont accept it I have all my accounts using OAuth2. I deleted and reentered all my passwords in TB and have no problem receiving emails from my Gmail

After the setting login change of google on 30 May i can not aproch my e-mail accounts in thunderbird anymore. i have no problem with other email adresses in TB. on my android telephone no problems. on the webmail no problem. i am getting desperate. regards erik platerink --erikplaterink@gmail.com

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.

2 days ago i could send messages. now I cant. I removed the smtp address like the help section told me to after getting the "Login to account "Google Mail" " dialog box and subsequent retrying of a good password had failed... I havent changed my password and am able to login directly to gmail no problem. thunderbird has the correct /same password but still the dialog box shows. I see the 0auth password ( also attached) but its too long to copy and paste so must be gernerated by google. I tried this after I got the send message error ( also attached) and tried what it said...

Also attached are the current saved logins etc minus the smtp I deleted.... The authentication method is set to 0Auth2.

what am I missing? thanks

Hi,

I used to use Thunderbird to access Gmail, Yahoo mail and normal email account (all POP3).

I have updated (not reinstall) Thunderbird to the latest version since Gmail disabled non secure apps access.

I have changed the Authentication to OAuth by follow the instruction from your page, but the system keep asking me to login (I have grant access in Gmail).

This happens not only Gmail as well as my Yahoo mail and normal POP3 account. I am sure the password is correct and still cannot get my emails from all of my accounts.

I also notice the token/password has not been saved to the system in Saved Password session. ( I have tried to run as administrator but still doesn't work.)

What have I missed? Can still using POP3 method to get email if problem solved?

My current system is Win7 with Thunderbird 32bit installed.

Thanks!!

Up until Tuesday Thunderbird & Gmail were working fine & have een for years. Suddenly when I tried to get my messages on June 7, I got the message: "Sending of password for user napaneedlepoint did not succeed. Mail server pop.googlemail.com responded: Username and password not accepted."

I can get to Gmail just fine from my browser. I checked preferences & the passwrds are right. I have tried closing & opening Thunderbird several times -- no change. i shut my Mac down every night. No change each morning.

I dowloaded 91.8.0 and reinstalled -- no change.

I see nothing about oAuth in my passwords section & no option to see this. I run my business using this & this is a huge HUGE problem.

Please help!

I have several POP accounts. I may be forced to use at least one IMAP account from Protonmail.

Firstly; Will having multiple POP and one or more IMAP accounts on the same Thunderbird be an issue?

Secondly. IMAP by its very nature is insecure and high risk. Email is stored on servers I have no control over, that can fail, be hacked, sold off, backed up or a number of other things. Sure, my PC could potentially be hacked, but I'd much rather have my emails, which are very personal and private to me somewhere that I control.

I have no mobile devices. I use only one PC for email. It uses only Thunderbird. I do not now or ever want to use web email.

So, how do I delete emails from an IMAP server? I read somewhere that I need to move emails to my local folders? So I would need to set up a filter to move all incoming email to a secondary inbox and then another filter into the relevant sub folders. I get some email from people I've not received emails from before so I won't have a specific filter set up for them initially hence the first filter.

Would that work?

I gather then that the next time Thunderbird syncs (checks for email?) it will then delete the email from the server?

If that won't work is there another way to automatically remove email from an IMAP server?

From reading through posts on this forum I see that I may also lose my notification sounds? I currently receive a received email notification for all emails, even those moved to sub folders. (refer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1155074)

Another hitch in this is that I'm stuck on 52.9.1 because Mozilla removed support for most of the add-ons I use and only half of them are compatible with newer versions of Thunderbird. One that is very critical to me is one that selectively encrypts email for specific contacts using S/MIME certificates. AFAIK this is not natively available in later versions of Thunderbird, and the author states Mozilla has made it impossible for him to maintain the add on.

Thunderbird is coming up with password does not match imap passcode, I have changed the password and know its right. I cant get any emails or send. this has been going on for days now, help please.

My Thunderbird account passwords in "saved Passwords" are the same as my gmail passwords but Thunderbird startup fails every time with the following message

"Sending of password for user account.name@googlemail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.googlemail.com responded: Username and password not accepted."

I have tried deleting the passwords and re-entering them and I have also tried deleting the entries in the saved password file but nothing seems to help. I have also tried deleting the logins.json, key4.db and cert9.db files.

I have lots of emails and subdirectories and don't want to do anything that might risk those.

HELP please!

Brgds.

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.

I'm using Thunderbird v 91.10.0. SMTP set as per attachment. Still receive "Login to server imap.googlemail.com with username X failed." What else do I need to check? I've browsed a few online suggestions and everything seems to be correctly configured, but obviously something is missing. Please help!
