I have been using Thunderbird for many years. I have 4 accounts that have all been set up and working fine. This morning the 2 yahoo.com accounts stopped working. I logged in to the impacted accounts using a web browser and password just fine. I then updated Thunderbird to 116.0 to see if that would fix the problem, but it did not. The outlook and gmail accounts are working fine, for now.

When Thunderbird attempts to download mail for the yahoo accounts, I get a large pop-up window with "Edge: Too Many Requests". The pop-up window is blank except for that error message. I get the small pop-up with the Authentication Failure message. Sometimes I get Retry, Enter Password or Cancel. But I never see a window that will allow me to enter my password.

I can send/receive mail from the accounts while logged in via a browser but authentication fails within Thunderbird.

Unable to send emails. A message appears saying the outgoing server (SMIP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again. This keeps repeating. What can I do?

Hi,

today Thunderbird doesnt send nor discharge emails from gmail. I've seen that yesterday (december 10) it was an update. I dont know it the problem it's related or not, but the program doesnt work, it seems that it tries to connect with server but it cant. If I send an email from Gmail page it works.

Thanks for your help miquel arderiu

When i receive email with linkages i am getting this reply when link is used

404 Not Found

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I cannot access my email on my computer or send out email since the latest update. I seem to be offline. Is it because my operating system old? Please tell me what I need to know to fix this problem. Thank you for your assistance.

In Firefox, and only in Firefox, I get 'Failed to verify your identity' on these sites. I have updated MacOS and Firefox, rebooted, tried a different DNS, and disabled all of my extensions. With extensions disabled I don't get the error, but the login site won't accept my login at all. See the attached image. I can't think of anything else to try.

The font size in "Manage Bookmarks" is way too large, both in the sections list menu on the left and the list of bookmarks. I checked my userChrome.css file as well as the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx entry in about:config and there's nothing there to explain why only the "Manage Bookmarks" text is so large.

It's possible I changed a setting somewhere that's causing this. But I'm stumped re: what setting might be controlling the font size in only that UI. All other Firefox text sizes are good.

Thanks to anyone who knows where I should be looking

Firefox 134.0.1 (64-bit) Windows 10

I am trying to access certain HTTPS websites and some of them show PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR in Firefox. This error is not present in Edge or Chromium.

Here's what I've tried (none of these works):

• DNS over HTTPS turned off
• Uninstall all add-ons
• Reinstall Firefox
• Create new profile and set it as default
• Delete/rename certs.db in the Firefox profiles folder.

The only fix that works is to use Troubleshoot Mode every time I visit these websites which is not practical. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

I don't know if this is relevant but one of the websites that does not work is https://alexan.com.ph/

With Firefox 135.0 i cant reach google.com but google.se i can.

I make daily images of C: and today i managed to go back one day to 2025-02-06 but accidentally chooses 2025-01-06 and with the older version of firefox i could reach google.com

I have tried to delete cookies. DNS over HTTPS off. No proxy in connection. Add-ons off but to no avail.

I sent a request for help and got this response:

"Well you might start by actually advising what the error is. We are at this point left to guess what "When launching Thunderbird, I get a pop-up saying Server "outlook.office365.com" reported en error" means and I can assure you it is not much to base a guess on. What is the message verbatim?"

You missed the point entirely! The point is that there NO ERROR CODE REPORTED, only the cryptic information I sent earlier. Further, if I knew the error code, I could fix it myself. The question is whether there is some kind of a log file kept in Thunderbird that may shed some light on the problem. Hopefully, now you understand the problem and can respond in a more meaningful and professional manner.

Some additional information: (a) sometimes email does not send, (b) I have already reinstalled T-Bird with with the mystery error continuing, (c) no errors were reported during installation. If there is no log file that T-Bird keeps and if you have no way of helping me track this down, T-Bird has ceased to be a practical alternative to Outlook.

https://read.amazon.com/kindle-library is now not allowing me to go onto the website. I've tried talking to Amazon customer support but they can't find a problem on their end. It says:

The connection has timed out

The server at read.amazon.com is taking too long to respond.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the web.

I haven't had a problem with the website before and every other website I have tried works fine. It's just that one. I have added it to my exceptions list for add ons but it didn't fix it.

[redacted] problem you [redacted] im having issues with the video and ads as all of my apps are disabeld nothing works and firefox it self causing probs and no one is helping out.

I'm using Thunderbird 128.11.0esr (64-bit) on a Win 10 system, and my email host is DigitalSpace, a Verizon company.

As of this morning, TB no longer gives me a password dialog when I start the app. So, I forced that dialog by sending out a dummy email, and I enter my credentials when asked. Outgoing messages go out without incident.

But even though my password is accepted for SMTP use, the POP incoming function no longer responds to File/Get New Messages for . None of the selections will download any emails.

The banner at the very bottom of the Thunderbird window usually displays a "retrieving emails" message yesterday, as usual. But now this banner is completely blank, nothing happening.

DigitalSpace has given me what they say is the correct POP Server name, and they specify that I should use Port 110. I've attempted to reach the POP server by its name and by its IP4 address, but I see the same fail with both: No response.

Note 1: I'm deleting all cookies at every log-off. Is there any chance that this is affecting TB's performance?

Note 2: Non-Mozilla fix websites have suggested accessing the TB Profile folder, and deleting file global-messages-db.SQLITE . I tried that, but it didn't fix the problem.

==> Can you tell me if there are any additional settings that I need to adjust?

Thanks very much, Bill Bailey Santa Clara, CA

I have had an ongoing problem with Thunderbird being unable to log into the various mail servers that I use. I've tried repeatedly to solve this problem and have been able to cure it in the past by clearing the cache, but it recurs over and over again. I cannot keep wasting my time like this. I'm an independent contractor and I need to be able to use my e-mail client consistently. I've got work to do! This morning, it's suddenly decided that it cannot log into any of the three services that I use.

Is there a lasting solution to this problem? If not, please tell me and I'll move on peacefully, but please don't keep me chasing my tail for something that cannot be fixed.
