Hi, I've received the email below from Microsoft today.

I have 15 email accounts linked to Thunderbird mail and use up to 5 of them daily. Sometimes 'instant' communications on one or more of my accounts can be important.

Will Thunderbird mail still function in the same way from 16th September?

I apologise if this question has been answered somewhere else. I searched but could not find it.

"The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods."

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

I've installed Nightly the same way I have for years on my latest Fedora 33 install—i.e., download tarball, extract into /opt, set appropriate chmod and chown, make .desktop file, etc.—but certain videos certain videos on certain sites refuse to play. A Fedora discussion discussion led me to think it's how Fedora 33 may sandbox apps; I haven't yet had any hits on solutions in the Fedora groups, so I thought I'd ask here, since I can't be the only one with this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Created several email mailing lists. Stored them in the Personal Address Book (PAB). I'm sorry, but Thunderbird doesn't seem to work like any other email client. How do I address an email using one of those mailing lists in the PAB. Tried typing the whole name of the mailing list in the To: field. Didn't work. I'm not entirely stupid but it doesn't make sense to me.

Using Thunderbird only one week, and it's outstanding, until today. Now, when I *write or *reply to an e-mail, my screen is totally filled, covering up important parts of my screen. How can I stop this from happening, i.e. NEVER go to full screen when doing e-mail???? Thank you in advance.

After updating Thunderbird, Verizon server no longer recognizes my password, so authentication keeps failing. I can neither send nor receive email. Account settings are correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

How come FF translates sites in tiny, irrelevant languages like Bulgarian, but not from major languages like Chinese and Arabic?!?

I wish I could dump Edge, but this FF deficit forces me to keep Edge on my computer...

I imported my Yahoo contacts into Thunderbird. All my keywords were in the "Notes" field in Yahoo. After importing into Thunderbird, all these ended up in the "Other" field.

When I go into the search tool, it lists all searchable fields. "Other" is not included. Is there any way to search "Other"? Or is there a way to import the contacts in a way that lands the Yahoo "Notes" into a searchable field?

Thanks!

After the transfer, when I open Thunderbird on Ubuntu, one account and all the folders appear. But the other account is empty (just an empty Inbox,...).

The move was done copying the Thunderbird "profile folder" from one machine to another. Then as a second try (after deleting all the files on the target machine from the other attempt) with Tools->Import/Export->Export Profile method.

The folders exist in the exported folders "D:\Local-D\Thunderbird eMail\2019-01-28_Mov2Tarus\7rkcx2ly.default-20190128-1418\ExternalMailFolders\Settings"

I have been using Thunderbird for many years and there may be a problem with that. The reason I say that is there is a file "compatibility.ini".

I have searched for most of today trying to find a solution, but nothing I tried works.

Both eMail accounts are Pop Mail Server. Source machine is Win7, target machine is Ubuntu 18.

Can you help?

Hi,I have 4 email address & my Default Email is ismda3@westvic.com.au(on SMTP) Regardless which email I TRY to REply to.I receive the Samr Message See attachment I am getting very desperate Thanks Darryl

Since the installation of Thunderbird 60.3. (09.11.) attached word files are corrupted. I cannot open the attached word file after receiving a copy of my mail. All servers from companies refuse my mail alltogether. I deleted already the mimeTypes.rdf file, but no solution. The previous version Thunderbird 52 on my second MacBook works absolutely fine as also on this Retina Book until the 09.11. The problem occurs with all my mail accounts under Thunderbird 60.3. I attach files to show the problem.

Best regards Martin Gehlen

I'm getting unwanted redirects when using google search on certain sites. I have cleared the cache, turned off extensions and scanned for malware (none found). See the attached screenshot.

Gmail is not working. I enter the link https://mail.google.com in the address bar and nothing opens (white screen). This has not worked for about 2 months (maybe even more).
