I deleted a work account (hosted on google) and I keep getting pop-ups from Oauth to authenticate it. Looking at the troubleshooting information while it is not in the mail and news accounts list it does show up as an account.

Also, looking at the profile directories I seem to also see possible accounts that were deleted a long time ago but still straggling around.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks leon

Hello, I would like to backup my whole Thunderbird profile every day (or at least every week) automatic, and I didn't find any workful solution for it. The problem is, that I have only POP3 protocol and Inbox file brakes, if there is any new message while copying. Unfortunately, I can't move my mail to IMAP, it's not a variant. Automatic closing Thunderbird (like in crontab killing process) before backup is not a variant either, because it's not safe. Manual closing Thunderbird would solve my problem, but, as I said, I need to do it automatic). For example, If I am absent for a few weeks, backup should continue working fine. If anyone have already found working solution for it?

P.S. ImportExportTools NG "Automatic backup" is not automatic, you need to close Thunderbird manually every day for this to work.

Hello, I am having an issue with adding an email account to Thunderbird (x32). I enter my full name, email address, and app-specific password. Thunderbird recognizes the password, but when I click "Next," I get the following message: "Unable to log in to the server. There may be an error in the configuration, username, or password." I expect a window to appear for additional authorization through mail.ru since I am using OAuth2 authentication, but this window does not pop up. Interestingly, on another computer with the same version, I can add this account without any issues. Additionally, the account is added successfully on the same computer with the newer version, but for some reason, it does not add on the x32 version. Although the account does get added if I use the "normal password" option, I cannot send messages from it. I look forward to your response and assistance. Thank you in advance!

This is about Thunderbird. I'm using version 115.12.1 (64-bit). When composing or forwarding an email, I can't see the subject after typing it in and moving the cursor to another field. If I move my cursor back to the subject field, the subject becomes visible again. Is this the way it is intended to work?

True statement?

Deleting a Thunderbird profile (including "remove message data") on one computer does NOT affect a profile with the same account name on another. Both are IMAP and are not synced to each other.

I need to completely uninstall Tbird and its emails from an old computer without impacting the same profile on a newer computer.

After adding inserted the password of a new account to Thunderbird's main one for adding the new account to the app, the procedure stops showing a question with no chance to continue. The question is "Consent app to access data?" and it is followed by a long list of details with no options for going on. How can I overcome the problem?

I am running Tbird and I have numerous email addresses. Does my profile contain all those email addresses, pasworkds etc, or does each email address in TB contain a profile for that email address

I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it

Running W10 on PC, no problems on other programs, on TB for at least 10 yrs. For past week TB has taken up to 15 seconds to delete or send some messages (not all). I thought this might be 3,500 messages in Sent folder so deleted oldest half of these. No difference, then I noticed that TB has deleted all my sent messages since May this year. Now it won't put my sent messages into the sent folder, they just disappear, and TB still delays on deleting or sending. Have tried repair button on inbox and sentbox, no difference. My wife remains on 115.14.0 without problems (so far!) I have just seen that v.128 has self-installed, could this be the problem?

Thunderbird is set to flag a message as unread only after 10 sec of reading. Sometimes I delete a message before this time and Thunderbird still notify me that there are unread message also if the inbox has not unread message. The issue will persist if I don't restart Thunderbird or if I don't find that deleted message and set it to read.

Only Thunderbird gives this issue, other email client don't notify me about unread message if i delete a message but still be flagged as unread.

Any solution to have unread notification only for inbox? Thanks.

Are there no Add-ons/Extensions any more (115 and beyond) that support any kind of sync with Google/Yahoo/Outlook contacts? Not sure MS Outlook even supports such a thing any more, some kind of vulns in the CardDAV protocol (worked great in 2005-10 era)?

Also, like to report major bugs in the CSV import mechanism, the VCF import got everything right, but the CSV import interface is beyond kludgey; essentially put the columns in the wrong places, and the "dropdowns" had only one value, that the import routine had decided I was constrained to. I would suggest you drop it from the product unless it can be made a bit more "professional" than a junior school computer science project.

I have moved from Mailbird to Thunderbird, a pat on my back I am really satisfied. I use POP3 so all my emails are downloaded to my computer. I keep two years of incoming and sent emails in Local Folders as follows: email account 1 year 2023 > Folders and subfolders organized per topic year 2022 > Folders and subfolders organized per topic The same for three other accounts. These occupy a lot of disk space, so I want to archive each email account with its folders and subfolders and move them to an external drive. Is this possible with Thunderbird?

At one time I had a version of Thunderbird that would allow me to bring in my Outlook emails. Now, I can't find it. And when I try to use version 102 or 115 it keeps updating to 128.1. Mozilla thinks I'm on some kind of release channel - whatever that is! So, am I no longer going to be able to get those Outlook emails? Thanks.
