If I have a password to sign into my Thunderbird emails, where do I find it. I haven't gotten this requirement in the past so where might I find it now and/or stop those messages?

Hello,

After moving my Thunderbird profile to a new computer none of my accounts can authenticate. I followed the instructions here: Move Thunderbird data to a new computer, using "An alternative method for manual transfer between Windows 10 and Windows 11 computers." What explains the response in the attached image, "Something went wrong," and how can I fix it? Happens when I click "Next", the first step to log it.

I have a related problem with other accounts set up in the profile. This one is using Oauth2. I tried switching to password, and hand a similar problem. I tested the connection to the server in Settings for the account and it was successful. Same for the others. They all authenticate successfully on my old computer.

Thanks...

I had TB on my desktop for years and finally got it also synced to my phone. Then with a failure with Windows 11 had to wipe clean the desktop and start over. Cannot reinstall TB. I obviously have the correct e-mail and password as I was able to log into Mozilla and submit this question. I believe it is a problem with my user name and what is on my phone setup does not work with my desktop reinstallation.

I have filled in an un-correct password a number of times due to incorrect language setting of my keyboard. Then the popup window for this disappeared, and I cannot find a place to enter password. What can I do? It is the password for outgoing email.

I had to reinstall windows 11 on my laptop so I also had to reinstall Thunderbird, but the latter will not accept my email & password (same as on my desktop). (I do not use hotmail or outlook, just Thunderbird.) Is there something I'm missing?

Hi all

I have recently downloaded Mozilla thunderbird, but am having trouble with adding accounts (outlook and gmail). I keep getting the "Authentication failed" error. Have tried other solutions online, like disabling the Account Hub, but nothing changes. I understand that may no longer be a solution. Is there anything else I can try?

Thanks in advance.

I'm running Thunderbird most recent version. After changing my Google password, I can no longer connect through Thunderbird to Gmail. I've tried uninstalling Thunderbird and reinstalling. I've tried deleting the Gmail acct info from Thunderbird and setting it up again. I get the pick IMAP screen, enter my new Google password, then get a Google 400 error stating "The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried."

Any ieas?

I double checked all data (IMAP and SMTP ports, passwords, mail adress, ... And I tried it on 2 brandnew computers (one PC; one laptop), running on Windows 11 I've no idea, what else I could do
