My email provider required that I change my email password as they had seen an unusual log-in. I did this and have changed the password on the Thunderbird desktop, but now I can receive mail but not send any. I get the message Thunderbird was unable to log in to the email server. I have Thunderbird on my phone and that works for both receiving and sending mail. It seems Thunderbird has updated the password for the incoming mail server but not for the outgoing one. I also updated Thunderbird Desktop to 128.9.2.esr (64-bit) .

I am trying to change my Thunderbird password which I have forgotten but the settings page needs it to reveal saved passwords, which is a catch 22. Do I need to remove it in order to replace it with something that I can remember or is there another way to fix this?

Received an error first stating I need to login, used passwords on file but then was told server needs to be edited, attempted to edit for no auth/pw but did not work... Now I am receiving this error. I can email from fax@mcvayphysicaltherapy.com but not my main acct of info@mcvayphysicaltherapy.com and I am receiving email but not allowed to email out.

When setting up TB to use my Gmail, I can successfully set up the configuration, but when I "allow" TB to access my Google account, the credential process starts, but never complete. Note that sometimes I get a security alert indicating the TB has been granted access to my google account, but TB is not actually updated

Hello,

I use Thunderbird (version 137.0.1 (64-bit) Portable Edition) with a master password that is requested at startup. Under Settings - Privacy & Security I can view the saved access data, which is also correct. If I now close Thunderbird and open it again the next day, for example, I very often have to re-enter 2 of the 6 access data. One is the access to my Baikal server, the other is my caldav access to icloud.com.

Is this a known problem? Is there a solution or a work-a-round?

Thank you very much. Greetings H-BLOGX

Recently I have been getting this message when I open my Thunderbird email account: "login to server imap@windstream.net with username opx failed." When I close this message screen, my email is there, sending and receiving, and everything works normally. However, I'd like to get rid of the message screen permanently, if possible. So far I have tried the following:

Changed from "normal password" login to OAuth2. The message stopped appearing, but my incoming mail wouldn't load.

Tried Thunderbird troubleshoot mode. The screen still appeared.

Opened in Windows Safe Mode. Got this message: "Server not found."

If there are any other suggestions, I'd be happy to try them, as long as they are within my limited grasp of troubleshooting. Thank you!

I'm trying to set up Thunderbird since Microstupid decided to stop Windows 10 Mail , I am on Version 21H2 Windows 10 , (its several years old , but the Feature Updates after that one slow my PC's down to about half speed and cause constant blue screens , so I found a program that shuts off Windows Feature Updates but the cost is , I can't download anything that goes through the Microsoft Store because it says I need to Update Windows , not going to happen , so I have to find a email program that lets me install it without needing a Windows Update to continue .. so here I am)

When setting it up it wanted my email , which are Hotmail accounts (I have 2 of them I need to set up) , so when I entered the requested info it wants my Password , so I enter it and it takes me to a Live Login window , where it gives a error saying Too Many Requests , I have no idea what that means and why it gives the error and no explanation how to fix it , I did a search here but it says 0 results for that inquiry , so I can't go any further , I am currently using Outlook(PWA) so I have it on my Taskbar , but it sucks , and for some reason I can only set up 1 email account so I can't get my other emails from my other Hotmail account

Both my accounts go through Microsoft and both use the same Password , so its going to be a issue setting up either of them if I can't get my Password entered without a error because its going to give the same error if I set up the other account , also the "Server" is going through Office 365 and I do not use that , so not sure how to manually configure the incoming and outgoing server for Pop 3 (I think that is what Hotmail uses), its been so many years since I had to do that manually I forgot , but I think that is the problem , is its going through Office 365 and I uninstalled that along with Outlook Classic because it wanted me to pay for it at the last second after installing it , all because some 12 year old at Microstupid wants my PC to act like a Cell Phone while claiming Windows Mail is a Security Risk when I have never been hacked and have used it or some form of it since Windows 95 but they just shut down my email without even telling me they were doing it , its complete BS and Microsoft should be sued and/or FORCED to put it back the way it was , just for the stress they caused

And I have not found a email that is the same as Windows 10 Mail that doesn't require me to Update Windows to install it , even though the programs are not part of Microsoft , so I'm hoping this functions like it , but I can't get it to complete the setup to find out , and I HOPE all my emails and Contacts just transfer over automatically , because I sure don't want to do that manually

Anyway , How do I get past that Error ?? , I am thinking it has to do with it using Office 365 for the Server , which I know was never the old way to do it (back in Windows 95-XP) it used some other Server setup which is what I "think" is the conflict

Also hopefully this works with 21H2 version of Windows because I'm not going to Update it after having to Reformat about 6 times because of the stupid Feature Updates my other PC is a sluggish mess because I updated it and so I just shut it off till I can Reformat it , it takes about a month to get my PC back where it was before , every time I have to do that and I usually end up losing something along the way that won't work anymore , so I won't do it again

Any helpful info/guidance would be appreciated .... Thanks ... Jim

Does anyone know of a plug-in or a way to password protect a profile using the profile manager?

If this question has been asked before, I'm sorry, didn't find it myself. So what it is I'm looking for is a way to password protect a profile from being opened unless the correct password is entered. Does anyone know of a way to make this happen?

Don't want to create a different windows profile to do this.

I am trying to set up second email address from my current account to use on a second home computer that I will be using for work. I keep going in circles following instructions etc. but when I get to the pass word I get a 'red' message that indicates it doesn't recognize me. What's up can someone help? I am digitally challenged.
