We are planning to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email/chat application for our users, however, because our security policies we can not give the passwords to the users. If we can disable the "Saved Password" button or the "Show Passwords" button using the "mozilla.cfg" file, it will be an extraordinary solution. I tried adding some like: lockPref("signonViewerDialog.enabled", false) lockPref("signon.ViewerDialog.enabled", false) They are being shown at the config editor, but not working.

I will appreciate any help!

Thank you.

My email provider is telling me to change the smtp password. I tried tools>options>security>saved passwords and I am able to view the smtp password (and others). But I don't spot anything there to change the password. Where in TB do I navigate to do that?

Thanks.

There was a time when Thunderbird had add-ons to do this.

I need to see the Real Sender, _NOT_ the common name, of the sender of an email.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

I have an AT&T Email account. I unwittingly changed my password and now I can't get access to my email via Thunderbird. How do I change the password in Thunderbird. I've found several sets of instructions on the net for this but none of them seem to work. They seem to direct me to functions or commands that simply aren't there. HELP!!!

Thunderbird 52.3.0 (32 bit)

Recently I noticed that I am unable to view saved passwords. When I click on the SHOW PASSWORDS button, nothing happens.I do not have a master password set.

I'm sure I'm not alone in occasionally forgetting to specify BCC when send emails to a contact group - until you've just hit Send, of course! For example, if a contact group is made up of people whose privacy is very important to them (eg people with mental health issues, ex-convicts etc), the mere fact of sending a CC group email, however innocuous in itself, is a considerable invasion of privacy. Even for uncontroversial emails, many people understandably resent having their email addresses made public, even to a limited group, unless they know and trust the rest of the group. I feel that email clients should make BCC the default for group emails. If Thunderbird can include a warning of missing attachments - a relatively trivial annoyance - this seems to me of far greater significance.

The article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/remote-content-in-messages indicates that, when I have remote content blocked, I should be able to display remote content in individual messages by selecting the "Show remote content in this message" option in the message's "notification bar". When I do that (before the config change mentioned below), nothing changes in the display of the message except that the notification bar is no longer displayed. Closing and re-opening the message has no effect.

I found a support forum entry saying that using the config editor to set the value of "permissions.default.image" to 1 would solve the problem. That works, but after I close and re-open Thunderbird, the value has changed, generally to 2 but sometimes 3. Having to reset the value each time I open Thunderbird is, to say the least, a nuisance.

How do I make the value of permissions.default.image persistent?

Thanks for your help.

I'm setting up a new computer for an elderly lady. On her old computer she logs straight in to emails. But I want to set up on new computer but it doesn't recognise her email address or password - both are correct. Old computer is not Wifi so modem is connected by a lead. I've been transferring the lead to the new computer - but maybe I don't need to do that? Would that be confusing the configuration?

I changed my Gmail password and Thunderbird asks me to enter the new one, however, it displays my email address with a lit 'Next' button but the button doesn't take me to the next screen to allow me to enter the password, it just flashes, no matter how many time I click it.

I understand the "delete your password, then use the account" technique, and it has worked in the past. Now, however, I can find no way to actually delete the password. These trials:

1: (preferences) | Security | Passwords | saved passwords | delete one:

 When I try this, it appears to go away, but if I re-open the preference it is still there. Same after quitting and restarting Tbird, same after rebooting

2: Quit Tbird. Cd to my profile and remove key3.db as well as logins.json. Restart Tbird. The two files re-appear. (and the passwords are still there as viewed in step 1)

3: Write this and ask for help.

When I send a message to anyone using the blind copy option, both the name and email address appears on the recipients copy of the email. This first started in December ( I send Quarterly mailings to several groups.) I have used this program for last couple of years and never had this problem before. What has happened and how can I correct it.

It looks like they are being sent as a blind copy, but they arrive with the email address showing.

I want to check emails whilst I am at work, but I don't have exclusive use of the machine I use, so I don't want Thunderbird to open at all without a password.

As it stands at the moment, the Thunderbird portal and incoming email headers are visible when I hit Thunerbired.exe and the emails can be opened, although the account can't send emails without entering my password (which I haven't saved).

I'm sure there must be a simple solution to this - but I can't find it

I often forget to use bcc when sending emails to my distribution list. Then the list of addresses shows on the recipients email. I don't want the list to show. How can I avoid this mistake automatically as I age? Scotty84

When I get an email it say it's from "Barclays Bank", or some other, but there is no way of seeing the Actual email sender without opening the email. How do I see the senders email address Before I open it?

Suddenly today Thunderbird requires that I input my email password before it can connect and send an email. I have checked the box "remember password" and restarted Thundebird, but it will still ask for the password. I have checked under the security settings to display password and my password is there, but for some reason Thunderbird has just decided not to use the information that it has. I run Windows 8 and have not added any new software or performed any updates besides automatic anti-virus updates. Is there any way to get Thunderbird to go back to the way it was and not require a password everytime I restart it. I have no interest in establishing a master password. Thank you to anyone who can provide an answer.

how do I print all of my saved usernames and passwords? OR even one at a time? my handwriting is so poor that printing would be a great HELP thanks so much rex thompson.

I went to my internet service provider and changed my e mail password. However Thunderbird wont accept my changed password. I am NOT referring to a "Master Password". Help.

When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, it won't open it in a browser window. (I can copy the link and paste it manually into a browser, but this is time consuming and irritating!) Even using the "open link in a browser" command does nothing. Any ideas why this might be?
