When I open Thunderbird (Mozilla), my files are not current. In other words, the most recent emails, probably since the last time I used Thunderbird, in my file folders are missing. I have tried changing the server settings but I think they are correct. Please be patient with me, I am unfamiliar with all the terminology, etc. Also, when I first enter Thunderbird, it does not recognize my password. A window opens with the message "Login to server imap.postoffice.net with username john.fn@usa.net failed." That message also appears when I click on Get Messages. Thanks for any help.

Microsoft outlook warned that I will no longer be able to use thunderbird after Sept 16th unless I use Oauth. I've tried changing settings to allow Oauth, but it's not listed as an option fot outgoing mail. Is this because I'm running windows 7? Is there any way around this, I want to keep win 7?

Thanks...

I've been using Thunderbird for several years now without any issues, and I currently have the latest version installed. I typically have multiple email accounts logged in. Recently, I tried adding a Gmail account, but it wouldn’t log in, showing the error: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

I’ve tried the usual fixes like closing and reopening Thunderbird, clearing cache files, and even searching online for solutions. Based on what I found, I’ve tried turning off VPN/antivirus, changing the default browser, clearing browser data, and, finally, uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird after removing all my email accounts.

Now, I’m unable to log in to any of my accounts, which were working fine before. Can anyone guide me on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

I've never knowingly installed a non-mainline thunderbird, but earlier this week I started getting the following when I open Thunderbird:

This is an unsupported version of Thunderbird!! Thunderbird monthly releases are not considered stable for general use. Use at your own risk, this build is the same quality as Thunderbird Beta.

Checking the version of thunderbird.exe It says its v131, which happens to be the same as the copy of Firefox installed. When I remove and reinstall Thunderbird it starts off as 128 but quickly changes to 131, even after uninstalling Firefox. (Also annoyingly, this stomps on the version in the profile, which 128 claims is no longer compatible, because Thunderbird isn't clever enough to save a copy of files when it makes "breaking" changes to user files)

I wouldn't being on 131 if actually worked, but it gets stuck in the handshake with my IMAP server, and doesn't even show the local folder caches. (It also for some reason shows the window controls on left side of the window title bar, rather than the right).

How can I restore standard functionality?

Hello,

       About 5 months ago I had this same issue and paid a person $90.00 to fix this issue

and erything was working gin until just recently, I have this issue all over again! I cannot afford to keep paying people to fix this all the time is this issue keeps popping up! Now I cannot received or send any outgoing mail!! THE MESSAGE SAYS:

SEND MESSAGE ERROR, SENDING OF THE MESSAGE FAILED THE MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT BECAUSE THE CONNECTING TO THE OUTGOING SERVER (SMPT) stmp.mail.yahoo.com failed. THE SERVER MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR IS REFUSING SMPT CONNECTING. PLEASE VERIFY THAT YOUR OUTGOING SERVER (SMPT) SETTINGSD ARE CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN

I'M LOST, I'M NOT THAT TECHMICAL AND NEED HELP!

Thunderbird gobbles up too much of my SSD space!

How can I prevent this from happening?

I'm using Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) Safari browser Version 18.0 (19619.1.26.111.10, 19619) Macbook Air M2 15" running OS 14.7

Hello. Each time I fire up Thunderbird, I get a series of panes (pains?) from Microsoft, asking for my passwords for my Outlook accounts. Sometimes, it asks for all of them. Sometimes, it asks for a few. It seems rather random. When I enter each one, I get a message on the screen saying "Authentication failure". However, if I persist and enter all the passwords, Thunderbird works. I had this problem a couple of months ago. I think it's related to something that MS did. A chap called Matt helped. But, unfortunately, it's returned. Could anyone, please, advise me? Thank you, Barry.

Hi there - been using Thunderbird for donkeys (since it was Eudora!). A few weeks back I started to get messages from Microsoft that I needed to change security settings as they were no longer supported on 3rd party email handlers like Thunderbird. So I re-created the three accounts I had there and it seemed to be OK, though SMTP did not have the OAUTH2 option available ... and when I tried to use the new SMTPs they wouldn't work. So I reverted to the old settings there and it worked again.

But this morning, with the big update to Thunderbird Nebula, I can no longer send emails from the MS accounts. My Gmail one is still OK ... but whatever I try, I cannot get the MS ones to send emails - I get a failure connecting.

Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username xxxxx@hotmail.com failed.

I checked on MS and the details shown there:

SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP port 587 SMTP encryption STARTTLS Authentication Method OAuth2/Modern Auth

Are what I have (I did have a different SMTP Server name came up - smtp.office365.com - but that doesn't work either)

So ... where is the issue? Is this a bug in the new Thunderbird setup? Something else? I don't know where to go ...

Since yesterday I have Thunderbird nebula 128.2.3esr on my Windows 10. But I cannot find my calendar and the new left sidebar isn't available, but only a little button on the left upper corner with seven button without function. I've tried a lot, I cannot find any description about a same failure in the Internet.

Is there a reasonable way to keep thunderbird data files in the cloud, since I use pop3 and not imap?

(I don't use imap because (a) I don't trust my isp, and (b) I like to minimize how much of my data is in the cloud, so mail in the cloud gets deleted regularly). Right, I'm asking to put everything in the cloud, but the idea is that this would only be temporary, while traveling, in order to avoid migrating thunderbird data from desktop to laptop, and then back again.

Is there something more I need to do to "enable GPGME"?

After my Thunderbird were upated to 128.3.0ESR (64 Bit), some received email have became some messy code. but some email are ok. but in my another computer whose Thunerbird is the old version, that email is ok.

Dear Support,

We are seeing some errors appear when we either startup Thunderbird or click on our Inboxes. The errors say "Alert from account info@save********.ca i.4Wr1U6N InvalidParameter id: i.4Wr1U6N_CFR_1' - We get very similar errors repeatedly but with different ids. It is happening to 4 of our inboxes. All of the inboxes are on the same server but when we checked with Hosting Support, which while testing our inboxes were able to experience the same issue on their end as well, here is what they said:

I have confirmed to our Titan Team however, we do not find anything suspicious in the server. The external IMAP logins are passing. Below attached are the login reports. We also checked the IPs used to login to the account and even that is not blocked on our end. Additionally, the error message does not mention Server Error but Parameter Error, and the error looks decoded.

In this case, an offline email client app also logs data and has certain rules and parameters for configuration apart from the normal IMAP and SMTP settings, just like our password configuration (where some characters will not be compatible with one client but will be compatible with another client).

Here, there are no server errors logged, and can't see any failures, as I have shared the login logs. Also, the alert/error message is encoded, which can be only decoded by Thunderbird support. Hence, we from the server side will not be able to look at what exactly is causing this issue, until and unless this error is decoded from the Thunderbird side.

Therefore, we would suggest to contact Thunderbird. I hope the explanation helps.

'Hello, I had to change my Google password. Immediately after the change, I was and am still unable to sed or receive mails, receiving the message : "Authentication failed when connecting to imap.gmail.com server". I am asked repetitively to allow Mozilla to access my Google account, because giving my consent is useless. Do you have a solution ?

When I opened Thunderbird today, I was greeted by a giant red message warning, "This is an unsupported version of Thunderbird!! Thunderbird monthly releases are not considered stable for general use." By following a provided link to the "latest stable version of Thunderbird," I found that was version 128.3.0esr.

I did not request an update. I did have Settings> General> Updates set to "Automatically install updates", so I suppose that is how I got this version. But how was I pushed to an unsupported version? Do I need to turn off automatic installs to be protected from this in the future?

Several problems 1. Updated to new version and then ran the file/address book transfer. I have 5 email accounts. The prime account and 4 others (secondary). The file transfer worked for all the 4 secondary emails but not the prime email. The address book was reinstated OK but none of the saved emails in the primary account were transferred over. The saved emails in the 4 secondary accounts did transfer over. 2. When I click on the thunder cloud symbal, only emails for the prime account are received. I use an app called Mailwasher by Firetrust to pre examine incoming emails to help stopping spurious emails from being downloaded into my PC. The emails for my 4 secondary accounts show up in Mailwasher but don't download into Thunderbird. In the past, Mailwasher and Thunderbird have worked great together. 3. When trying to solve my problems, I accidentally created a duplicate account for my prime email address. However, I can't find any way to delete the superfluous account. Having just made a small donation to Mozilla, I feel quite let down! Note: in the previous version of Thunderbird, to download all the emails from all 5 accounts I clicked on "File" then "Download for all accounts" or similar wording. There does not seem to be a similar transaction in the new version

I had to change my Google password. Immediately after the change on sept 14th, I was and am still unable to send or receive mails, receiving the message : "Authentication failed when connecting to imap.gmail.com server". Giving my permission/consent to allow Mozilla accessing my Google account is useless, because it is repetetively asking me to give my password in " imap.gmail.com" . I don't know how to do that : in the settings, there is no place to write my password. Do you have a solution ? Many thanks
