For years I have had two email addresses: - @virginmedia.com and an older @blueyonder.co.uk one - with no problems: POP is set up with the two servers pop3.virginmedia.com and pop3.blueyonder.co.uk. SMTP is set up with smtp.virginmedia.com for both. Everything was sweetness and light. I could receive and send from both accounts no problems.

Two weeks ago, the MF-505 relay refused error popped up when I tried to send an email from @blueyonder.co.uk and has continued to do so ever since. I can receive @blueyonder.co.uk emails with no problems. I can receive and send from @virginmedia.com with no problems. I can login to the virginmedia webmail site with @blueyonder.co.uk and send emails with no problems. Even so, I changed the @blueyonder.co.uk mail app password with Virginmedia just in case; no help. I have deleted the saved passwords and resaved them; no help. I have tried adding an @blueyonder.co.uk smtp outgoing server to Thunderbird even though I never had to before; no help. I have checked smtp server outgoing settings - even though everything works fine for @virginmedia.com. No problems there.

The general advice "out there" seems to be wait and it will resolve itself but it's been two weeks and for what it's worth Virginmedia confirm there is no problems with my account or their services their end.

any suggestions will be appreciated.

I have asked this in the forums but have had no response. I'm wondering why Firefox now requires the permission "Request delete packages"? Given it already has the "Query all packages" permission (I also wonder why it needs that), does this mean it can now delete all my apps? Why does it need this as I'm at a loss to understand the necessity for a web browser to need this permission.

I am no longer able to open in Mac Preview or save when hitting Command + P, then 'print using system dialog'. It will only print instead. For instance, I save certain web pages as PDFs using the print dialog and now it will only print when trying to use either the save or preview options. Command + P, print using system dialog, then I choose either save as PDF or open in Mac Preview, but as soon as I do one of these it will only print. I am able to use save in the drop-down list of printers, but I need to be able to open in Mac Preview.

Hello there,

With one of the email addresses I am montoring on Thunderbird I experience an unusual difficulty.

There are times, I get to see a pop-up window that the login failed, and being prompted to enter the password again.

I've learned that in those instances I need to remove the password from the password list in thunderbird, restart my laptop, and in opening the thunderbird dashboard re-enter the password, and then it's fixed.

Today, however I keep repeating this procedure time and time again, but this time it doesn't fix the issue, and this pop-up message keeps popping up, each time enter the new password.

Is there anyone who can help me resolve this issue ? ...

That would be great, because since the login fails, I am unable to receive any incoming mails of, nor send any from that account in thunderbird.

Kind regards, Christiaano

As a twelve or more years user of Thunderbird, I find it to be okay most of the time. I hate the spam folder that does not learn and I hate threads.

Today all of a sudden, I cannot save photos sent from my iPhone as jpg. I have always right clicked and a menu has appeared. Today, the right click just zooms in which I never want to do when I am trying to save.

I tried searchig online first before coming here. Apple is claiming that Thunderbird developers made a mistake and that is why the right click is not working. AI had me try a bunch of different techniques none of which worked.

When I do save after much effort, the "photo" in my Animals folder appears as the Thunderbird logo instead of the real item itself. The other weird thing is that my folders also do NOT show up where they should when I am trying to save. The menu doesn't give me all the folders as it always has. Instead it just say All Files which is not adequate.

Since today's update to esr 153.5 a lot of things have changed for the worse. One annoying thing is that Firefox always opens now in Minimised view...why? I've never used Firefox Minimised...so now every time I have to click Maximise. Another one was that the Hamburger menu items suddenly had huge spaces between everything...at least I was able to find someone on Google who had a css to fix that. But the same thing is happening in the right click menu also, I had a css for that for years but now that doesn't work. The other super annoying thing is the scrolling has totally changed, I always used to uncheck 'smooth scrolling' and check 'autoscrolling', although I never use what they say autoscrolling is supposed to be about...something about holding the middle button on the mouse?? All I know was that setup used to make the scrolling in Firefox excellent...now it's basically annoying smooth scrolling whatever I check or uncheck. The other thing is after this happened I uninstalled Firefox altogether, and reinstalled the 150.0esr version and all this stuff is the same...even though I was previously on 153.4esr...and it wasn't happening on that? So I suppose I might as well just update to the latest one then? And just put up with all this annoying stuff. By the way, I'm still using Windows 10...not one issue a year after all the doomsaying from Microsoft [Defender still gets security updates anyway?]...which makes me wonder about the so-called 'security' issues with using an older version of Firefox. Thanks, any ideas for ways to fix these things would be very much appreciated. Especially the scrolling thing.

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with crsorgi.gov.in. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails. Advanced What makes the site look dangerous?

Firefox is warning you about this site because the certificate provided for crsorgi.gov.in has been revoked and isn’t trusted anymore. What can you do about it?

Probably nothing, since it’s likely there’s a problem with the site itself. You can check with the website owner to see if they are working on the problem.
