This Window just started showing up.

Is it to Log into Thunderbird or an email account.

If I Cancel the window Thunderbird seems to work correctly, so I am not sure what it is for.

Hi, I have two email accounts configured to Thunderbird. One stopped receiving emails this week. When I open TB, it's asking password for the account.

Then it shows at the screen bottom xxx@yyy.zz: Host contacted, sending login information.

then after a moment, a popup window says

Login to account "xxx@yyy.zz" failed Login to gamma.yyy.zz with username xxx failed.

Sending emails works ok.

Any ideas ? Possibly a corrupted profile ?

Best regards, Jarmo

Dear Thunderbird support team, I am for a few days unable to log into my account, because the program doesn´t recognize the password I set for the imap.wolrdserver.net. It shows the message in attachment. I changed the password for my account and the imap.worldserver.net with my email provider, however it did not work.

Do you have another idea how to fix this? Thank you in advance. Kind regards Elora Helmke

I get the error message "Login to server pop.cybermesa.com with username mmwh failed." It won't accept my password and continues to go in a circle asking for password but won't accept or allow to reset.

My Thunderbird email program ran into problems getting mail from Google. So I deleted the program and then installed it again, now it cannot log in to any email address I have. How do I rectify this? I can access the mail directly thru Google but I prefer you email program.

I've been using Thunderbird for years (Windows 11 PC), and all has been working fine as recently as last night. Starting this morning, I continuously get the error message, "Login to server mail.comcast.net with user name xxx failed" (xxx not my actual account name). I've tried the "Retry" and "Enter New Password" options to no avail. I can go directly to the Comcast website, login and get my email that way, but I can't get Thunderbird to login.

To my knowledge, nothing changed between last night and today, but yet something seems to have happened. Any ideas appreciated!

I keep getting the sign in request (photo 1) and when I click the next button I get (photo 2), I have no idea what has changed or what I can do to stop it. I would be grateful of any help.

Installed on android phone, imported account configurations using the the bar code method. Gmail accounts all good, but Microsoft accounts all fail. Multiple reinstallations have the same outcome.

The failure occurs at Passkey generation all with the same message "We're unable to complete your request server_error: The contextID supplied in the request did not have a matching cookie" or "Something went wrong trying to create a passkey. Please try again." It uses Brave Browser when doing this.

Any ideas on how to progress?

Thanks

총 7개의 계정을 등록하여 Thunderbird 로 사용중입니다.

7개의 계정중 유독 한개의 계정만 계속 비밀번호가 틀리다고 비밀번호를 재접속 하라고 요청하고 있습니다.

제가 사용중인 노트북과 데스크톱 둘다 같은 문제가 발생되고 있습니다.

제가 해결가능한 방법이 있을까요?

Hello,

I am requesting assistance with a persistent issue in Thunderbird involving a Google Workspace (Gmail) account for my domain, dantanas.com.

Incoming IMAP works correctly. However, outgoing SMTP authentication fails every time.

Symptoms

The Google OAuth login window never appears when Thunderbird attempts to authenticate SMTP.

Sending mail produces the error: “Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP). Please check the password and verify the authentication method.”

IMAP works normally, but SMTP never prompts for OAuth authentication.

Thunderbird also does not allow me to have a Junk/Spam folder for this account — the option appears disabled or unavailable.

Current configuration Thunderbird is using

SMTP Server: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 or 587 Security: SSL/TLS or STARTTLS Authentication: OAuth2 User: max@dantanas.com

IMAP Server: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2

What I have already done

Verified DNS MX and DKIM records on the domain (email receiving works).

Confirmed I can log in to the account in a browser with no issues.

Tried both port 465 and 587.

Removed and re-added SMTP servers in Thunderbird.

Forced Thunderbird to attempt OAuth2 authentication, but the OAuth window never appears.

Tested other clients, which authenticate correctly — suggesting the issue is specific to Thunderbird.

Expected behavior

Thunderbird should open a Google OAuth browser window to authenticate SMTP. This never occurs, which prevents SMTP from working entirely.

Request

Could you please advise:

Why Thunderbird does not open the Google OAuth authentication window for SMTP?

Whether there is a known issue affecting Google Workspace OAuth in Thunderbird?

How to reset or repair Thunderbird’s OAuth behavior?

Why Thunderbird does not allow the creation or use of a Junk/Spam folder for this account?

Any guidance would be appreciated. I’ve spent considerable time troubleshooting, and resolving the OAuth prompt issue is essential for SMTP functionality.

Thank you, Max Makowski max@dantanas.com

I cannot seem to sign in or submit my password. I usually get around 15 emails of a Sunday morning from my family in another state. I cannot seem to receive emails and thus not be able to reply. Please may I have some assistance. I am in my late seventies and very self taught. Of course as a result when anything goes wrong, I am not sure how to get through this.

I'm not able to log into yahoo e-mail via Linux Firefox (145.0 (64-Bit)): The error message is "We were unable to log you in. Please try again from another device." I can log in with Chrome (Linux and Windows) and Firefox (Windows). My issue is to switch from POP3 to IMAP in Thunderbird. There the same error message occurs.

I saw where there was a same problem liste a couple of months ago but the solution did nto work. As of this morning I can no longer send with my CompuServe Account. There was no change in my settings, and I have had the account in place with Thunderbird for years. I get an error to enter my password again, I do, then no luck. It asks again. When I cancel, I get an alert, sending of the message failed, Unable to authenticate Outgoing Server (SMTP), please check the password and verify the "Authentication method" in "Account Settings|Outgoing Server (SMTP)

I tried change the password authentication from normal to OAuth2. No luck.

No problem with downloading messages; they all come through.

I saved the message to be sent in my Draft Folder and then when going to the web version of CompuServe (really AOL and really Yahoo), my message is saved in the Draft Folder and I can then send it.

Thank you in advance.
