Links have been going through linklock for some time. Starting today, every one of those is blocked with a bad certificate error from BitDefender. How to stop links in Thunderbird emails from using linklock? I would like to directly to the website.

For some idiotic reason Thunderbird is constantly creating a folder called SPAM. I want this off and never to reappear, so could someone explain how to do this. I have turned of unable adaptive junk mail and turn of the destination and retention.

This behavior is new, completely unnecessary.

Get rid of this new feature, it is not helpful

Hello,

I want to install a lock on my mailbox. I thought two factor authentication is the best way to do so. However, I do not see any info about 2fa and Thunderbird. What I do see is: info about Open PGP key and S-MIME certificats to encrypt messages. I think both adds to security, however, it appears to me that the 2fa is the real lock and encrypting messages is useful in case the lock hasn't worked well: the messages can be read by a third person, but not understood. Is that right? And do I understand it correctly that there's no 2FA option for thunderbird? Is encrypting messages as safe and convenient as 2FA?

Hopefully someone could help me out...I'm a non-techie as you might already assume;), hopefully this can be taken into account..

Thanks! Simone

I always thought that with a password to cancel my mailprogram access was limited to me. Now accidentally I discover that simply and repleatedly click on cancel and it will open up the program for every one to see my emails!!! What kind of use is a password if it is possible to ignore?

Lately receiving more emails where the subject line is completely blank? How do I filter these to junk mail? They're from random senders. Tried to set up a new filter but it did not work. Thanks

I removed a gmail account from Thunderbird. It is no longer displayed. Yet every time I open Thunderbird I get gmail message asking me to validate my log in to that removed account. I cannot get into this new gmail account via google because I have used my phone number on too many other gmail accounts - this is tyhe reason gmail keeps pestering me. If it's not in Thunderbird then surely i shouldn't be pestered by google.

I've used Thunderbird for years using a POP setting; Network Solutions would prefer that I use IMAP. I don't know the difference, but they must and prefer that it be IMAP (netsol-imap-oxcs.hostingplatform.com) (PORT: 993. When bringing up the settings in my mail account, it doesn't allow anyone to change that field. What can I do? I want to use Thunderbird; because of this particular setting I haven't been able to, and must instead log on to Network Solutions and go through their email interface. Thank you.

12-3-23 Thunderbird is asking for a second email password even though "Use primary password" is checked. This is on my Dell desktop computer running Windows 7 Professional which is the only device I use for email.

It has affected my ability to receive and send emails.

I have been using Thunderbird for years. Around the time (a few months ago) that I started getting pages of spam, I started getting the following error:

 "Login to server pop3.hughes.net with username janetc failed."

It will not accept my primary password and I see no place to find what Thunderbird is looking for in terms of another password.

Initially, when trying to block the spam, I used the process in my hughes.net webmail to block several pages of spam. However, this only tripled the amounts of spam I received. Along with troubleshooting this issue, I started marking emails as "junk" in Thunderbird. This has markedly reduced the spam.

I have tried closing Thunderbird and re-opening. Didn't help the failures.

At one point recently, I could neither receive or send emails. After my son took a look on Teamviewer, he changed some settings in my accounts to NOT automatically download emails from accounts that no longer have service. [My son is an IT professional working for UC Davis email but he doesn't use Mozilla.] After he did that, I was able to receive emails but not send.

I have tried changing some password options in Account and Server Settings.

 In Accounts settings I notice under SMTP - Edit, there are choices under authentication method  including "No authentication" and "Normal password".  Changing from Normal  password to No authentication did not help.

In Server settings, under Security Settings, there is no choice of "No authentication"

This seems to me to be a bug. I didn't make any changes in my account settings prior to this error nor prior to the arrival of all the spam.

But what did happen, which may have contributed or caused these issues is that I lost my Samsung cell phone in June of this year and did not recover it. It was password protected but I understand that it can still be accessed. I did not use that phone for email but my email address was probably given in it.

After writing all of this, I looked again in settings and found that, at the bottom of the menu list, is a second place for Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings. There I found it set to my old email address - janetc@2xtreme.net. So I changed that to hughes.net (default). I'm really confused as to why there are two places to set SMTP setting. And they can be different???? Anyway, the change did not help. I still cannot SEND.

This is the error message I get when attempting to send: "Sending of message failed. Am error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Authentication is required to use this service. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." IT IS CORRECT!

ALSO, I can no longer find the place to change my primary password... Nevermind, I found it. I didn't realize there are two different "Settings" Menus. One is in the "pancake" in upper right corner and seems to apply to all accounts. The other is in the individual account settings. This is really confusing.

Enjoy and thank you!

My Thunderbird works 100% fine with my googlemail account. My problem is with google i cannot access my account and am locked out even though i get my emails in thunderbird and on my iphone i am 92 years old and was wondering if there is any way i can find my password through thunderbird?

I can't get emails from Thunderbird. It requires a change of pasword for mail.btinternet.com which I don't use.

Outlook Mail no longer working on TB. I am using the latest Supernova update. Had to revert to POP which I prefer not to do. Is anyone else experiencing same? Hope this can be resolved.

I have a gmail account which works fine using Thunderbird on a Windows 10 computer. I am trying to create the same account on another Windows 10 computer using Thunderbird but it fails when trying to connect to the account.

I have checked the identifier, the password and the authentification settings wih OAuth, but it still fails. Any idea why and what is going wrong ?

Many years ago with Virgin Media and Thunderbird I set up original e-mail of alexam@blueyomder.co.uk, then added alexamimages@yahoo.com for photography then badgerwoodcrafters@yahoo.com for my woodwork hobby, but now I am 83 I only wish to use my e-mail of malcolm.alexander101@gmail.com. I thought I had redirected the other e-mails to my gmail account, but it does not seem to work correctly or only intermitantly and I need some help please, as I am unable t understand what is needed.

Can someone please let me know how I re-direct all previous e-mails to my new gmail account on my new windows 11 laptop and help an old non geek like me to understand. many thanks. Please reply to malcolm.alexander101@gmail.com.

not able to send or receive emails. it does not recognize my passwords, nor do I have a primary password that I know of, so I'm not able to get in and change the password
