I'm Using Thunderbird version 148.0.1 (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro I currently have 2 email accounts in Thunderbird...a Gmail account and a private account linked to my own webpage account. Both these accounts are working very well and I encountered no problems when I originally set them up some time ago....... However.. I am trying to add an additional email account. a Live .co.uk account I enter my Full Name and email address "xxxx@live.co.uk" as requested... I enter my password for this account and in my "Your Login" details ( the characters "xxxx" before the @ in my email address) I then select "Continue"........... Response : "looking up configuration...." Then.... Authentication failed. Please check the username and password...Exchange auth error I know I have entered the correct username and password for this account... and the account works fine on my mobile phone email app. using the same username and password..... No matter how I try, I am unable to set up this existing Live mail account so that I can access it in Thunderbird...... along with my other email accounts in Thunderbird, which are working OK.... Any suggestions as to how to fix this annoying problem, would be really appreciated......... Thank you

Before I recently (& reluctantly) upgraded to TB 140.8.1esr, I used to be able to paste the following in the Error Console to get a URI for an email message (or template) that I wanted to access from my calendaring app (EccoPro -- yeah, I know, one of those "from my dying hands" things, but it has never been equaled much less surpassed, just choked in the cradle by MS Office).

var hdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage; alert(hdr.folder.getUriForMsg(hdr));

I would highlight the message I wanted to use, hit Shft-Ctrl -J, and paste that in the console.

I would get a notice with something like this which I could copy

"mailbox-message://nobody@Local%20Folders/Templates#10"

I could then put a clickable link in my calendaring app to run

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -mail "mailbox-message://nobody@Local%20Folders/Templates#10"

That message would open. Then I could hit Ctrl-E to edit it, paste as needed, and send .

This worked very well. I did not come up with it. I struck gold with Google and just copied it. With something similar to AutoHotKey I was able to automate it.

Now those URI codes no longer launch at all, and I cannot get new ones because when I paste

var hdr = gFolderDisplay.selectedMessage; alert(hdr.folder.getUriForMsg(hdr));

into Error Console I get

Uncaught ReferenceError: gFolderDisplay is not defined
   <anonymous> debugger eval code:1
   getEvalResult resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole/eval-with-debugger.js:306
   evalWithDebugger resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole/eval-with-debugger.js:218

   evaluateJSAsync resource://devtools/server/actors/webconsole.js:788
   makeInfallible resource://devtools/shared/ThreadSafeDevToolsUtils.js:103

If I had known what I was doing in the first place, I might be able to adapt to this version of Thunderbird. Something obviously changed in how the Error Console operates or something.

Does anyone know anything about what command could generate a message URI so I could open it from another app using the command line?

I have several emails (personal and business) that I use and have them grouped in Unified inbox. Recently one of those emails showed up as a new folder (just under Trash folder) in bold type. It has with a varying number of emails in it, now 18. When I click on the 'open folder arrow', a subfolder 'Archives' with nothing in it shows up. When I open the email folder a new page appears with the email as a header and underneath 'set up another account', 'import from another program', 'about mozilla thunderbird', and 'resources'. What is happening? How can I get rid of this folder since I can't read any of the emails in it and it is just a duplicate of the folder that already is working find in the inbox? TIA

Hello,

As per title, when I step on a new message not belonging to the first thread, the first thread expands automatically. This does not happen when I step on an already read message. I also tried to mark old messages as unread, and the same thing happens. Apparently, it started doing this today, which sounds weird as Thunderbird last updated on the 15th, but I didn't notice this type of behavior before today.
