I am using version 146.0.1. When I try to change accounts order from "Account Settings" by dragging and dropping the account and restart TB then it is returning to previous order. So I am not able to change the accounts order. Thank you. Ulvi

After many years of using Thunderbird with an AOL account I changed my password in AOL to increase the security. So I had to install the AOL account again in Thunderbird. I created an app password in AOL and put it in Thunderbird. Everythin fine so far. AOL login window opens automatically. But after login to AOL the message "somthing went wrong" and "try on anther device" pops up. I tried it on several PC's - no way. Other mail clients like Mailspring oder Mailbird did work with the AOL account. What is the problem?

I have 2 hotmail accounts that Thunderbird can access but my wife's one has not since set up.

I have had to set up new email account for my wife because her one she has used for 10 years will end after 6th January 2026 because email service provider is ceasing email business. I have an hotmail address that has worked seamlessly with Thunderbird for 10 years. If it is tried in Thunderbird to access the new account to check for new mail it either states not authorised or not connected. I have tried adjusting settings to be same as mine but not succeed in solving. I am at a loss. Maybe it was easier set up accounts 10 years ago?

My profile did previously work with news.eternal-september.org, although I very rarely used NNTP. The last active use might have been as long as July or August 2023.

A few days ago I added news.gmane.io, it did not appear in the sidebar.

news.eternal-september.org:

• was originally in the sidebar, and responsive
• is not in the sidebar after removing then re-adding the account.

Can anyone reproduce this issue?

Environment

Thunderbird 140.0.1 (64-bit) on Kubuntu 25.10. Neither Flatpak nor Snap; my configured software sources include packages.mozilla.org/apt/ for deb.

/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/packages.mozilla.org.asc exists.

The profile was previously used on FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT, if that's relevant.

Using Thunderbird 146 on Win 10. Trying to add existing mail accounts as already did in early Thunderbird 17. 1. one pop account (gmx.net) added successfully. 2. one imap account (gmx.net) added successfully. 3. trying to set up further pop accounts of gmx.net end in waiting loop although data check of program is ok. Checked and verified muliple times server data, account and pw.

Hello, i have three PCs with installed Tunderbird. On one of them i want to add a new mail-account. If i follow the instruction here: [https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/automatisch-konto-konfigurieren#thun...], it leads to an input mask (not a Tab!!!), where i can enter an account-name and the mail-address. Clicking on Continue some automatic search is started but never stops (=> screenshot).

As i tried to do it several times now and tried to find other solutions, red instruction etc., i write now. Also: Im not sure if it is a bug.

I already mentioned in the beginnig: I have three PCs here. I used one of the others compare, wehere it works as described in the documentation (not an input-mask, but a Tab). So the probem occurs only on this PC, not on the other. Systems: Not working on win11 Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-Bit) Working on win10 Thunderbird 144.0.0esr (64-Bit)

As my subject states, I am a long-time TBird user - not a wizard or expert, but technically savvy. Now ... with version 140.0.1esr (64-bit), I cannot create a new account as easily as I once did on prior versions.

To be clear, my policy has always been to create new accounts for "A, B, C, and D" for each new year like what you see, left to right, in "Image-1." That has made it the easiest for any research about prior received or sent messages.

Attempting to do that now doesn't work. I put info in every panel; I setup for POP3 and enter a new password; then click Continue and get the message you see, left to right, in "Image-2."  :-(

I could really use some specific, successful advice ... PLEASE!  :-)

I realize this is a lousy day for advice!!  :-(

I'm retiring!!! I have my personal gmail account on Thunderbird (it's IMAP) on my work PC. I want to delete that account, BUT I want my personal emails -- past and present -- to stay on the gmail server. Is this possible?

I have just transferred my Thunderbird email data to a new computer. Now in the listing of emails received it shows my name wrongly spelt. I can't find anywhere in my transferred account settings where this spelling mistake actually occurs. It is the kind of mistake that a native speaker of English would make when they see my name. How can Thunderbird have made this mistake in a completely automatic transfer? Disturbing and unnerving. Is this AI deciding that I spell my own name wrongly maybe? Please help if you can.

Attempting to add a gmail oauth account in TB fails authentication using verified account password. (The account requires two-factor authentication using an authenticator app, but haven't tried that as a password) I have removed the account from TB, and the saved passwords for the account. I then added the account back to TB but get the same "Failed authentication" notification without any opportunity to register a new password. I can not find a cookie to remove and retry the process.

Problem: I installed thunderbird and added my employer's account. I used IMAP and ideally Exchange should be used. The problem is that I only have one folder. I have inbox, but I have no other folders.

Bug: From what I understand, this issue is known.

Question: Does anyone have any idea what time horizon it will take to use Exchange with Thunderbird?

On previous PC's I had TB configured to access Usenet This used: Server name: news.eternal-september.org

It would then appear in the list of accounts in the 'Left Hand pane'

I have configured (maybe not correctly) Acess, but nothing appears in teh Left Hand pane.

I attach the create account screen .. and also teh normal TB viw .. and usenet server not shown

Cannot get rid of TB's request for account password/connection for an account that I removed. Server account deleted, saved passwords for this account deleted. All references to this account that I know about have been removed and still when I open TB it pops up with request for username and password for this deleted account. Please help.
