I changed my PW in the Yahoo browser. I'm on a Google pixel. I don't have Tbird on my laptop. I am trying to get back into my Yahoo mail through Tbird, buy don't see a way to change it there

Dear helpers,

I want to upgrade the hardware of a friend - and so I moved the homedir of the user to the new system, as I have done every time before in my life. But in this special case Thunderbird will not start with the used profile.

Thunderbird generally starts with e.g. the -P switch. But it will not start the default profile of the user. I tried to go this way concerning the versions 115 -> 128 -> 140 without success. I deleted all lock files, if there were any. I spent a lot of time with e.g. copilot - but it could not help me. I'm at a loss.

Is there any documentation with a kind of step-by-step instructions? Can you give me a hint, please?

Here are the details:

Source: linux mint 20.2 uma Thunderbird 115.18.0esr 11th of december 2024

Destination: linux mint 22.3 zena Thunderbird 140.7.0esr

Thank you in advance for your help.

I am unable to sign in to my yahoo mail account. It gives me a fault that "something went wrong, please try another device". I can use brave as my browser and sign in with no problem but not with firefox. Any idea why?

Have deleted install pkg from W10 computer (PC). Figured if all was deleted new install would be easy. But, I keep getting message" Your Thunderbird Profile cannot be loaded. It may be\ missing or inaccessible"

If I have deleted all attempts at installing how can I need the profile? Wouldn't it be created in the new install. What specific files or folders should I be looking for? I have referred to "How do I find my Profile? and associated documents. and uninstalling the Firefox file from the MS apps list doesn't seem to clean this message trigger.

Frustrated after 5 tries...

I can't sign in to gmail as I used to for years. (It works ok when I use Private Browsing, but that's inconvenient.)

WHAT USED TO HAPPEN: when I was at the sign in page, my password manager (Dashlane) filled in the username and then a screen asking to use the passkey. I said yes, and got in to Google with no problem.

NOW: the password manager fills in my username (my name at gmail.com) and when I hit "NEXT" in the sign in field I get email or phone l.com When I click in the field that disappears and my username appears. When I hit NEXT it goes back to "email or phone l.com". Same when I hit return. Same when I enter my phone number. SO maybe it's Dashlane (my password manager)? But when I disable that and TYPE my username (or phone number) in the field, same stuff happens.

BUT when I use a private browser window, the gmail sign in works as before, and so that's what I've been using -- but it's not convenient having 2 windows open. Before it was just a tab in one window. What changed? Why? Can I change it back? Thanks!

Firefox won't save my gmail password. I don't know how that is done. When I sign in to [edited from public] @gmail.com, firefox never asks me to save the password. What can I do?

When I charge what is supposed to be Thunderbird 115.18 for mac os 15.10.7 on the site of all the versions, I only get Thunderbird 147 for mac and it doesn't work correctly as my messages desappear. Where can I really find the dmg I need that is to say: Thunderbird 115.18 for mac (and not the 147).

I am not aware of having adblock. I have looked in settings and don't see it on but Angels Gifts won't let me collect my game pieces because it says it detects adblock. I looked in extensions and don't see it. what should I do?

Since update yesterday, new tab is empty. Whatever I do, open new tab, open new window, go to `about:newtab` manually, it does not load anything. The view is totally blank. I can navigate to other pages fine as it should though. Only New Tab view is broken. Diagnostic mode does not work. I don't have plugins that would affect New Tab anyways.

Hi there,

I currently have three email accounts set up in my Thunderbird client. I’d like to disable the automatic marking of messages as read—but only for one specific account (mainly for my colleagues’ convenience, as it’s a shared inbox).

In Settings > General, I see the option to turn off "Automatically mark messages as read", but this would apply to all my accounts, which isn’t what I want. I’ve checked the Account Settings for the relevant account and couldn’t find a per-account option. I also looked for an add-on that might help, but so far, no luck.

Has anyone found a workaround or solution for this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance, Cheers.

I keep getting a large box saying sign into your gmail account using Mozilla Thunderbird, but another box comes up saying error 400 unable to do anything; and the first box keeps reappearing on the screen. My password hasn't changed and I am unable to access gmail. It seems like a corruption between Gmail and Mozilla Thunderbird

Many months ago I reported this error/bug but it remains unresolved, even though it was supposedly progressed to Mozilla.

I have a desktop PC & a laptop. The problem only occurs on the laptop. I am running T/bird on ESR channel on both machines.

On the laptop, even though the settings are not to update automatically it does, reverting to the release channel. This displays the following bug!

Instead of a "Junk" and a "Spam" fold I get 2 "Spam" folders, but a closer look shows the paths as being correct, what you would expect. The folder will not rename.

Reinstalling the ESR version restores the correct folder names - UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE PROGRAM AUTO-UPDATES when it shouldn't!
