when I try and add my microsoft outlook account, it redirects to a webpage, which after saying yes a few times with an already signed in session, redirects to localhost 44645. localhost 44645 notably does not seemingly direct to anything, and thunderbird does not change. clicking "continue" re opens the microsoft webpage How should i connect my outlook account? system details; ``` OS: Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 Host: ThinkPad L14 Gen 2a Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic Uptime: 7 hours, 40 mins Packages: 2177 (dpkg) Shell: bash 5.2.21 Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: Cinnamon 6.6.4 WM: Mutter (Muffin) WM Theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua (Mint-Y) Theme: Mint-Y-Aqua [GTK2/3] Icons: Mint-Y-Sand [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.508GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series Memory: 14803MiB ```

Cannot add Outlook acct. Found settings automatically - OK. Error: cannot authenticate. Addy has 3 "-" between 3 words - possibly problem Two other Outlook's fine Tried Windows 10 & 11 boxes both fail. Manual config fails. Tried smtp with "." and "-" before "office365.com"

I have 3 computers. Two are running Windows, and one is running Linux. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Linux Mint has Thunderbird built in. I keep the two Windows computers in sync with a file compare program, "Beyond Compare" Are my local folders compatible between the two operating systems so I can sync my Linux Thunderbird local folders with the ones I have stored in Windows Thunderbird local files?

Are txt files stored the same in both NTFS and ext4 systems?

It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Also very slow tagging or untagging a message just in those mailboxes.

I found a bug in Thunderbird 153.0.2esr version that wasn't a problem in previous versions. When I drag an email from Thunderbird into a folder in Windows File Explorer (Windows 10 PC), when I drop the email into the folder, I get an error box titled :Error Moving File or Folder", with the contents with a large red X and text "Unspecified error".

The workaround is to right-click the selected email(s) and choose "Save As...".

Anybody else here able to reproduce this and confirm it is a bug?

Please see attached image of the problem.

I have tried looking on Google for ideas but have not found anything on this or how to fix. Hope someone can please help would be amazing!

Google -

400. That's an error

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should be retied. That's all we know.

Edit address book entry displays only DELETE and CANCEL at the bottom of the edited entry. The rightmost border may be obscured as the display does not allow for scroll.

Has anyone had issues with Thunderbird sending and receiving email? I can only send or receive when my wifi is turned off on my phone.

I've tried deleting the app and resetting all network settings on my Android phone but still no joy.

In the process of changing from Windows to Linux, I have entered the details of my email account and it is fine when I press re-test, but when I press done it is not fine anymore. The email is “freeuk.com” which is still active but Freeuk itself isn’t, but the service was taken over by Claranet with a “clara.net” setting, so I imagine that may be relevant. Any help (not too technical please) would be appreciated. Thanks.

Whenever I use Thunderbird (TB) I get the following error message:Thunderbird is damaged and can't be reopened." This file was downloaded on an unknown date. What is the problem and how can I get rid of the error message.

Salve, Rispondo alle precedenti in merito ai problemi di connessione e quindi di configurazione di un account gmail sul vs client. Dalle vs risposte pare non ci sia soluzione. Se è così è un peccato dopo anni di ottimo funzionamento, sarò costretto a cambiare client.

I wanted a new email address so since I've been using firefox for decades. I wanted to try thunderbird. (i tried mailfence it didn't work at all) So i download thunderbird desktop. It doesn't tell me what it is. Although I've used computers for 50 years, I need explanations for new stuff. Your habit of assuming all is obvious and no explanations needed is so annoying and wastes so much time. Thunderbird says includes powerful email. Then it says email not available . go on waitlist. I put in my name. Then it talks about some pro ( thunder email?) that must be paid. None of this makes sense to me Can I or can I not get a new email? Please answer this note so my questions can be answered.
