Thunderbird will not start because the first visible startup action is the popup window: "Please enter your Primary Password". Unable to create a password for the initial,first time re-start of Window if on old machine, option was to avoid this. How to fix? ...so I can set and set and use it.

Please put Thunderbird back the way it was. I have several different email accounts in Thunderbird, I'm obviously logged into Google on one of those accounts, but for a while now TB constantly asks me to "Login to Google" - when I already am. i.e. It's asking me again and again, to login to one of the OTHER email/google accounts - and I don't want to, because I bet the moment I do, TB will popup the window again, wanting me to login to previous one. And so round and round we go.

Also the popup is poorly designed, because not all of it fits on the screen. i.e. It's oversized, so you can't see the top or bottom "bar" and there's no way I can see to adjust it. I detest this pointless popup, constantly appearing, having to first click on the white space, and then hit the ESC key to get rid of it (until next time). Why would you do this? We've always been able to have multiple email/gmail accounts, all with different login details, and all the email accounts still seem to be receiving email okay... so why add this annoying popup? Please remove it.

Hi @ all,

When using TB as a LDAP-User, logins.json and key4.db are NOT created on the (mounted) home directory.

here's my setup: Debian 12 with a local user as well as remote users, administrated via LDAP. PAM-login for local and ldap users has been setup and is working. Automounting of network drives is working. Each LDAP user has their home directory stored on a Fileserver and mounted upon login. All applications are working as intended except thunderbird.

So far I've tried to run gnupg locally instead of having it start a session from the (mounted) home directory, assuming that gnupg is the corresponding means of de/encryption. I've copied the profile of the local user to be used as the profile of the LDAP user, logins.json is completely ignored by TB.

Upon starting of TB, passwords are asked for and are remembered in the session. But passwords/logins are not stored and available for the next session.

Any ideas?

I installed Thunderbird on a new PC Win 11. I can not access passwords. In Firefox I can not configure Thunderbird in email link to this page. Regards, Boris [email]@verizon.net

Hi, I'm a Thunderbird user (& monthly supporter) and have recently been experiencing repeated prompts to enter my user id and password credentials while using the app even though it launches and functions normally. I use Thunderbird for both a Yahoo and gmail account and both are working fine. So, it's more of an annoyance than anything, but I get pop-up screens with the same prompt every few minutes. (just had one now. . . .) What do you think? Thanks in advance for your help!
