Hi, I can sign in and all mail accouns work fine. However, i USED to be able to go to passwords then chose show passwords and (after typing my global passsword for TB) I would see my real passwords (not the long string of letters) for each account.

Now I cannot see these anymore. How come and can i see my real passwords for my accounts?

thanks

While trying to retrieve new messages for one of my email accounts, I keep getting the message "Login to server xxx.xxx.xxx with username xxx@xxx.xxx failed."

I click the "Enter New Password" button and enter the same password that I use to successfully login to the account on a browser, and it STILL fails and keeps showing the same message box.

This started happening this morning. Have others reported this problem? What do I need to check to see if there is a problem in either Thunderbird or in my email account settings?

Thanks for your help!

I've been using Thunderbird for 30 years. My E-mail address is via my internet provider, but don't use the provider's webmail. Each time I've gotten a new computer, I have to change my password on the provider's webmail because I can never remember the old password and I use the same password to get into my Thunderbird E-mail. Well, I just bought a new computer, but this time, the new password is not working (and no I don't remember the old password). I keep getting an error message saying that the configuration or the password are wrong. I verified with my internet provider that all the server configuration parameters are correct. Can anyone help me? I don't want to have to start all over again with a brand new E-mail account with no E-mail contact list and E-mail histories going back only 2 months.

Seems like every time I come here, not only do I have to re-login, but also do the 2-step verification. Is there any way to avoid all this?

I understand the need for security precautions, but my circumstances don't require 2-step verification or the re-login.

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.

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.

my password. I did it and now I have to update my various programs and apps to the new password to access my emails, but the Thunderbird mail program that runs on my smartphone (Redmi Note 13) doesn't allow me to change my password. It almost seems like I have to delete the account and add it again from scratch. Is it absolutely necessary or is there an alternative system?

Hello, I am using thunderbird for two different aol accounts. Both receive mail on thunderbird. However, one of them does not allow me to send messages when I am in that mailbox. I checked the saved passwords, and both have the regular password for incoming mail, but a complex password for outgoing. oauth:login.aol.com(mail-w) Please advise. I did not want to do anything that might erase my saved emails for the one account. Thanks!

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 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.

I transferred Win 7 Thunderbird Profile (TB)to a Windows machine. It left behind all the other settings, such as when picking up/sending email, passwords are required at the IP to login, get email/send email.

QUESTION: Is there another TB area where the passwords are stored so I can copy those over to the new computer.

I posted this about a week ago, and when I come back, it's gone. That's why I am repeating myself.

A long timer ago, I was told by a user that Thunderbird does not need passwords. It does if you what to get your email. They are setting for each email user. There are 34 under the one TB.

I hope there is a transferable file because changing all the passwords and preference for each account would be the hard way.

I appreciate your taking the time to read this,
