I have tried reinstalling the account automatically and manually no matter which way I do it it just comes up awaiting authorization then just hangs there? I have doubled checked all the settings, imap.mail.yahoo.com 993 OAuth. smtp.mail.yahoo.com OAuth 465 SSL/TLS I have done everything that I can find so am I missing something? Chris

Thunderbird for NixOS nixos - 1.0

I could not figure out how to provide a log at all. If there is a way, please let me know and I will provide one.

Whenever I try to log in with gmail, I get stuck on this dead end:

1. Set up gmail server config (because my email ends in @vcu.edu, however I have tested this with a proper @gmail.com email and observed the exact same behavior)
2. Get propted to login with google, which works
3. Get to the "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants access to your Google Account" page, select all and hit continue
4. get redirected to `http://localhost:35141/?state=<string of chars>&iss=https://accounts.google.com&code=<another string of chars>&scope=https://mail.google.com/%20https://www.googleapis.com/auth/carddav%20https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar` This page does not load, I just get a "unable to connect" error
5. get a notification stating "Authentication failure while connecting to server `imap.gmail.com`
6. get ANOTHER prompt to log in with google, exact same thing happens

please note that the port is random and is different every single time. also, google does not register that I have allowed Thunderbird access to my account, and it prompts me again every single time.

I believe this is all the information i can provide. Firewall was disabled for testing. I cannot log into either my school or personal gmail accounts.

For some time now two Thunderbird Icons have displayed in my Windows task bar. One opens the program I have used for years as normal but the other opens a sign-in screen requiring a user name and password. Today only one version appears and that is the sign in screen. After a lot of steps -including a request for Thunderbird to access my Google account I finally got access to the two e-mail accounts I keep on "my" Thunderbird but the display is far harder to read than the earlier one. After I exited the program I found to re-open it I got the same log-on screen??? How can I access the Mozilla program I am familiar with?

when attempting to view my passwords, (by selecting in Thunderbird, edit, settings, passwords-saved passwords, show passwords), I can not see them because the window, 'Saved Logins' can not be resized. Scrolling left or right does not work and clicking and dragging the corners or edges does not work. All I can see is about the first 8 characters which is not the entire password. Also I used to be able to change the passwords in this window but that seems no longer supported.

I have installed Thunderbird to work with my spectrum email account. I had successfully installed it and was even able to recieve emails, but could not sent them. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and now I can't receive emaill either. The settings for the servers and my username (fulll email address) all look correct per spectrum's website. Whenever I enter my password into Thunderbird I get:

"Login to server mobile.charter.net with username stynee@ca.rr.com failed."

Next steps?

I have a ton of email accounts in Thunderbird on Mac. I recently added a new account, and it constantly pops up the Authentication Required - Mozilla Thunderbird window. Below that it says: https://OURURL is requesting your username and password. The username and password are both stored in the passwords, and I don't get the password needed message, and can email and receive in between the annoying pop up.

I have this same issue on a new computer we just set up with other email addresses too, so I think it has to do with some automatic setting when adding a new account that happened in the most recent release. I do not get the authentication message for any of my older accounts.

I tried all the things I could find online - deleted and re-added account, deleted the password files in the profile folder, reset the startup cache, etc. I searched the support base, and can't find anything

We host our own email through cPanel. All the server settings are correct, or we wouldn't be able to use the email address at all.

Hello, When I open Thunderbird, I get redirect on the browser to sign in into my Yahoo account. I enter my logins and a pop-up window opens and says that there is no application able to open whatever it wants to open. I already checked the forums concerning the Oauth2 login security for Yahoo, and tried several of the advices, but I always get stuck at the same stage. My operating system is Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS Thunderbird version 153.0 Am I missing an application? Or is something wrong with my settings? Thanks for any support.

just got Thunderbird, i added my outlook email then got to the "connect your email setting" then i clicked continue cause i wanted to use imap and got a "Authentication error". I got Thunderbird on a different device and used my gmail on that device and it worked fine. Only get the error when i try to use my outlook email and i don't know what to do.

Thunderbird has stopped downloading mail from the outlook account for my prime account, but my secondary account also outlook is OK. It kept asking to sign into my account then directed me to a web page to sign in for outlook, but it would only let sign into the 2nd account. I have tried uninstalling Thunderbird and re-installed it but still have the same problem.

The thunderbird server seems unresponsive and doesn’t recognise my password - what can I do? I can get my emails on my iPhone, luckily, but feel safer from scamming when opening them on my laptop. Please advise - thanks. Ps I have recently donated to Thunderbird!

At one time, I was able to access my email with Thunderbird. Then Thunderbird stopped working, and I didn't have time to research why. Monday, I bought a new Macbook. After installation, Thunderbird says "account settings found." Then it asks for a password. My password no longer works. Instead, I get a message: "Authentication failed. Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." What, if anything, can I do?

// File: Thunderbird.js (Optimized Version) // Executes Thunderbird from a USB drive using the local USB profile path.

var Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");

// Returns the drive letter or directory where this script is executed var USB = Shell.CurrentDirectory;

// Ensure the path ends with a backslash if it doesn't have one if (USB.charAt(USB.length - 1) !== "\\") {

   USB += "\\";

}

var ThunderbirdVersion = "07";

// Construct absolute paths to the executable and the profile var PathToExe = '"' + USB + "Thunderbird\\" + ThunderbirdVersion + "\\Programme\\thunderbird.exe" + '"'; var ProfilePath = '"' + USB + "Thunderbird\\" + ThunderbirdVersion + "\\Profile" + '"';

// Combine the executable path with the portable profile switch var Command = PathToExe + " -profile " + ProfilePath;

// Run the application (0 hidden window state, false to not wait for execution to finish) Shell.Run(Command, 1, false); Shell.RunThunderbird.js
