When I use thunderbird to download messages from my sky email, I get a threat notice and " The file containing the threat was at c:\users\appdata\local\temp\newmsg" - I use mcafee. I do not get this threat notice when getting messages from my bt emails or my zen emails via thunderbird. I do not get this threat message when logging in directly to sky emails on the internet. I have deleted my sky email account in thunderbird and reinstalled the account but I still get the threat notice. Can you help .

I believe I was hacked into. One minute I'm signed in the next minute after I leave a site I am being asked to sign back in again and again. This time someone is changing my sign in credentials.why??

I keep getting message "The certificate for imap.gmail does not come from a trusted source". I've uninstalled thunderbird on occasion and it fixed this problem, but now it keeps coming back. bold text

I have Thunderbird installed for lots of users on windows 11. Recent updates caused Thunderbird to ask again to set as default, as is normal. However, if you ask it to set as default it brings up a UAC dialog. However, I have installed as a user, and am asking to change a user setting. UAC is inappropriate for the situation.

If I ask Thunderbird to uninstall is again pops up a UAC dialog even though it is not necessary and inappropriate.

Why is Thunderbird asking for more permissions?

I installed as the current user with default installer settings.

I always get: "newmsg Trojan:WIN/SuspiciousAttachmentScript.a" and "C:\Users\newb\AppData\Local\Temp Trojan:WIN/SuspiciousAttachmentScript.a" from Mcafee when I open Thunderbird. I'm only getting this in Thunderbird and suspect it's a false positive of some kind. It's still worrying and I'd like to eliminate this. This has been going on for a couple of months. I've run several cleaners and anti-virus programs on the system, but it still returns.

thanks

I have remote content blocked as a default. If I choose to view remote content **for an individual message**, there seems to be no way to reblock it, because the yellow bar with "options" disappears after you allow the remote content for that message. (Whoopsy! Changed my mind! Let's say I don't want the remote content to transmit that I opened the message a second time when I do so.)

Mail Content > Exceptions does not help in this case, since I allowed the remote content from a specific message, rather than allowing a wider permission, such as allowing remote content from a particular email address or website. Copying the message link into Mail Content > Exceptions (as suggested in an old post) doesn't work, either.

So it seems I am now stuck having remote content active each time I need to open that message?

very recently perhaps with a McAfee or Thunderbird update , I am seeing a message that McAfee stops a threat every time thunderbird does a message retrieval. see attachments. I have checked my outlook account directly and deleted a bunch of messages but it persists.

Hi! I wonder how Thunderbird for Android works regarding security and privacy? If I use a Gmail account via Thunderbird, will I not miss the security features that Google provide, like warning for malicious/fraudulent emails? How can Thunderbird improve my privacy? I mean, Google will scan my emails when they are coming into or leaving the server anyways, I guess. And they will still let AI be trained on emails resting at the Gmail servers, so will there be any privacy benefits using Thunderbird? Please help me understand, because I have really liked Thunderbird for Windows and used it for many, many years when I had a Windows laptop as my main computer!

Someone keeps changing my passwords logging me out of my account swapping the accounts around changing my picture still in my files all my pictures are gone that was the reason I got this account to get out of the Google account or maybe they would leave me alone I'll have no idea who it is but it's been going on since December for the worst part of it but it started in 2017 the worst is just now started though I'm not even sure if it's the same people that it was then all I know is is my account keeps getting hacked and it's getting real old
