just installed thunderbird on my new windows 11 laptop (samsung galaxy book 5) and tried to add my comcast email account. i entered the address and password and it took me to an xfinity web page to validate my password for imap.comcast.net. since i'm not on my home network it send a code to my mobile phone which i entered successfully. it then asked my for the address on my account. i entered it and it told me it didn't recognize the address! I called comcast and finally got to speak with a human (no mI'veean feat). We verified that my xfinity account allows third party applications to access my email. That's pretty much all the help she could give me. i've run thunderbird on my home windows 10 desktop with no issues accessing my comcast email. Has anyone encountered this problem? does it have to do with windows 11 settings? any help would be appreciated.

Thunderbird: Suddenly links in emails are behaving very strangely. Whenever I click on a link, the Inbox window is selected and the link is essentially ignored.

Here is an example: At this site

   do-not-reply@stackoverflow.email

when I click on "Special partition of the set $[n]$" the Inbox window comes up. Copying the link, I find it is this:

   https://sg-links.stackoverflow.email/ls/click?upn=u001.

This is over 700 characters long, which seems a bit strange.

Any info on fixing this will be greatly appreciated.

I had 12 important draft messages in my "drafts" subfolder of one of my e-mail accounts. This e-mail account is a work e-mail based in Outlook, and I use Thunderbird to download those e-mails to my laptop, and to compose e-mails. The 12 messages in that Thunderbird folder suddenly disappeared, and have also disappeared from my "drafts" folder in Outlook. (The Thunderbird and the Outlook accounts are linked.) I did not change any settings. This has never happened before. Those missing e-mails do not appear in the "deleted items" folder in Thunderbird or in Outlook. It is extremely frustrating and is causing problems at work.

Oddly, my Thunderbird listing of folders still shows the number "12" next to the name of the "drafts" folder. But, there are no e-mails visible in that folder. All my other Thunderbird folders for this e-mail and for my other e-mail are working properly. Please help.

Hi,

I'm looking to make Gmail my principal email account, instead of using my ISP account. Gmail requires 0Auth2 authentication, as many will know.

I'm a Luddite and prefer to use POP3, for a number of reasons. Thunderbird works fine (with POP3 Gmail), on my computer. Unfortunately, 0Auth2 doesn't appear as an authentication option, for POP3, in Tbird for Android. So the TB android app forces IMAP on my tablet and phone.

Is there any way around this? Are there any plans to incorporate 0Auth2 authentication for POP3 within Tbird for Android?

Thanks

I updated to the newest version of Thunderbird. I was having problems authenticating the accounts I have set up (I was required to do this after the update), but finally succeeded. Two of my accounts do not show all of the folders that are in those accounts. The other accounts are fine. When I try to subscribe, the missing folders do not show up even after refresh. The folders are in the web interface for those two accounts, and also show up fine in my phone. I removed the accounts and re-added them, but the folders still do not show up. The two accounts (Frontier) are hosted by Yahoo. I also have a regular yahoo account and those folders show up fine.

"Dear Support Team, I am trying to configure my email account (gennadij.tolkachev@digitranslab.com) in Mozilla Thunderbird, but I am encountering an issue. The automatic configuration fails with the message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." When I proceed to the manual setup screen, the Incoming Server field is pre-filled with ".digitranslab.com" (including the leading dot). The application rejects this, stating that the server name is empty or invalid (it says: "Server name is empty or incorrect. Only letters, numbers, - and . are allowed"). Could you please provide me with the correct manual server settings for our mail server? Specifically: Incoming Server (IMAP): Server hostname Port Connection security (SSL/TLS, STARTTLS, or None) Authentication method Outgoing Server (SMTP): Server hostname Port Connection security Authentication method Thank you for your assistance.
