I looked it all up:

Incoming (IMAP) outlook.office365.com 993 SSL/TLS OAuth2

Outgoing (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com 587 STARTTLS OAuth2

Use IMAP not POP

Use OAuth2 not password

Username is my msn email address (username@msn.com)

I have spent all evening and all night trying to set this up and it has failed every single time. I used AI to double check all the info setting. I found nothing on Mozilla or Mozilla Thunderbird to help.

It should work and it is not working. There is no other information I have found that would contribute to solving the problem.

Hello, I'm currently having a problem with Thunderbird version 15.9. I can no longer sign in to my Google-Account after I set new passwords and entered them in Thunderbird. Several attempts were unsuccessful. I then deleted all entries related to my Google account. Adding the existing account again failed. I received two error messages. Error message 1: “Waiting for authorization during sign-in". Error message 2: “The inbox server is already in use.” An other E-Mail Account runs perfect. I urgently need help.

Hi,

I'm a bit helpless. Everything was working just fine with Thunderbird, but now it seems like my Outlook account just doesn't connect anymore. I was unable to send any message anymore yesterday. Today, I tried to disconnect and reconnect it, and now, when I try to set it up back again, it just takes forever as you can see on the image.

How come ? What can I do ?

Thanks,

Whenever I attempt to open a .eml file from my hard drive, I receive the "Account Setup" window before the actual file opens. How do I get rid of "Account Setup" as an initial window when opening a file?

I am trying to open a new account using [redacted]@gmail.com but I can not get past the host name which I would think is gmail.com

Please reply to my previous question sent today, November 11, 2026, if you can help.

I'm confident that the e-mail settings were correct, at least according to the settings my Optimum server provided me with. I have a document Optimum sent me with those settings, if you'd like to take a look at them. I also need help with re-establishing my main e-mail account in Thunderbird. At this time I can't add it back to Thunderbird as an e-mail account unless I can connect to the Optimum server via the Thunderbird settings configuration app that I described using in my last e-mail sent this afternoon.

What can I be doing wrong, and what do I need to do to solve my Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail problem?

Since I updated my ISP login passwords one - two weeks ago, as I found myself forced to do to gain access to my ISP user account online, I've been unable to send e-mail from my two original e-mail accounts with suddenlink.net as the domain name, and with the e-mail address being accordeoniste@suddenlink.net. I was able to receive e-mail sent to these accounts from outside parties, which don't include the suddenlink.net domain, just fine,

As my marketing materials include the account accordeoniste@suddenlink.net as my contact e-mail address, I regard it as critical that I solve this problem, so I don't have to use the ISP's webmail service to send, and receive e-mails with this account.

I discussed this problem with specialists from my ISP. They verified that my e-mail and server settings are correct in Thunderbird. When they couldn't help me to solve this problem, one of them recommended that I contact Thunderbird for support, which is why I'm here.

I tried different incoming and outgoing server settings in this Thunderbird "Account Hub" app. I finally resorted to updating Thunderbird from a www update I installed. Nothing worked.

I just ran the add e-mail account and test of server connection again for at least the fifth time, and the test failed to connect to the server yet again. The error message reported is:

"Mozilla Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account.

Can’t find a server". Now, in addition to being unable to send e-mail from these accounts, I find myself unable to re-add accordeoniste@suddenlink.net to Thunderbird again, so I can't even receive mail sent to that account in Thunderbird.

I don't know whether this problem is due to an incompatibility between Thunderbird and my ISP. I just know I did what I could to get Thunderbird to work properly again. I need help from a Thunderbird expert, or at least from a skilled Thunderbird practitioner or highly dedicated user.

Please help, if you can.

Thunderbird does not display the icons like inbox, sent, etc at startup. I reinstalled the client and everything worked but when I restart it does show the icons or my mail. What setup am I missing?

I've just added another new email account to Thunderbird, an AOL based account like the others. Thunderbird has created the account but has attached the 'inbox', 'drafts', 'sent', 'archives' from an existing account. is it possible to redirect where an account holds its group of folders?

I took advantage of the free trial but hate the controls of the vpn. Deleted Vpn from my toolbar and cant find the cancellation of subscription. Does not appear in any subscriptions as I have none. I need it cancelled immediately.

I am trying to add an Proton mail account to Thunderbird using the Proton Mail Bridge (PMB). In the PMB guide it is recommended to uncheck Account Hub in the Setting>General. The problem is that the Account Hub still pops up when trying to add a new mail account - it simply refuses to go away regardless of several restarts of both the computer and the mail client!

Updating to the most recent [159.0 (64-bit)] update zapped my email account (gmail) settings. No, I haven't tried troubleshoot yet or re-entering all my IMAP settings. :) (I will when I can shoehorn the time.) My installation (64-bit) on the appropriate Windows version has had no problems for years, & updates have worked consistently (through both ap & OS updates, until this specific update.

My question right now is, has anyone else run into problems with this issue? I know it's not that much to go on, but I'm in a hurry & need to see if anyone else has experienced it.

TIA for any/all info. :)

I have installed Thunderbird on my MacBook Air (Tahoe 26.4) and synced all my hotmail emails from an account which I wish to delete. Do I need to do anything before deleting the account i.e. will they stay in Thunderbird or is there a setting I need to change first?

geek squad set up thunderbird on desktop. But i do not recall what the thunderbird email address is to sign in on my phone and have thunderbird set up on my phone.

I currently use a Yahoo.co.uk email address but would like to add an additional email address with a different @xxxx.com affix.

I have looked at the existing instructions but seem to have missed the appropriate section dealing with it?

I haven't been able to identify the Thunderbird version.

SO, I changed my email in my account, when I signed in with the new email it opened the old account. so I deleted it and then went to the account with the new email and had to re set everything up. When I want to add another email the error was that email is used by another account, I tried other emails and it said the same thing. how do I delete any other accounts that might be under my other emails?

I currently get my email from Spectrum.net. They have made some changes that necessitates me making server changes in Thunderbird. I can't seem to find a way to do that. Everything seems to point me to a new account. If I set up a new account will I lose all of my eisting emails on my desktop?

Hello, dear devs! I've discovered that i have 2 accounts. And i have a question: can i merge accounts? Take all the data from 2nd and merge with 1st. And also can i change default email? And how to change the region of my account because i have moved from Russia and want to use your VPN
