I have changed my passwords on 2 gmail accounts I import to TB. Usually when you do that and TB retrieves email from gmail, you get a credential popup because the password doesn't match. Usually when you get that popup you click "next" and put the new password in and everything works as it should. I have been messing with this for 2 days now. I get the gmail credential popup, but when I click "next" to continue, I then get an error 400 from google? You can't do anything else after that. That darn popup just keeps coming and coming every time TB tries to retrieve email. Anyone else having this issue and found how to fix it? Is it a TB issue or gmail/google issue?

My host institution recently made a contract with Google and now we all use Google Workspace; our institutional e-mail server (Zimbra) is replaced with GMail. My full emailadress is the username, and then Google forwards one to a log-in-page of the institution via OAuth2.

At the institute I use Thunderbird on WIndows, and it is able to access the new account, as expected.

But here at home, where I use Linux Mint (Ubuntu/Debian based), also with Thunderbird, it doesn't work. I think the configuration is correct (it is identical to the one I use at the workplace) (first attached screenshot)

But when it's supposed to open the institution's authentication window, it gets stuck in a previous step, which is the Google window that should pass/redirect to the institutional log-in window via oAuth2. (second attached screenshot)

But instead, from here it goes to an unknown error, according to Google. (third attached screenshot)

I don't know what functionality I possibly haven't installed or activated in Thunderbird here at home, but which is functional on Windows? Or whether some security/privacy switch of Thunderbird or Linux' firewall or whatever, is 'on' and is blocking the redirection to the third-party log-in window?

How do I (in)activate or change what needs to be (in)activated or changed? Any ideas? Where can I look for this information? I scanned the questions on OAuth2 here, and none seemed related to what I experience.

It's important for me that I access my work email from home. Please help.

I have 2 Thunderbird accounts running on 3 different computers. The passwords were last changed in Oct 2020 and both have been running fine until today. One is still without problems but the other starting today will not log-in. A window pops up with the following message: "Login to server mail.server310.com with username randy@johnstonfam.org failed." One computer is running W10 and the other 2 W11 and I have the same problem on all 3. I have Thunderbird ver 128.8.0esr, 64 bit. I checked and the password is correct. I tried re-entering it to no avail. Please help to get this account running again. NOTE: The other email address is Randy@RJohnstonAppraisals.com

I have several email account set up with Comcast and am able to sign on to all but one with Thunderbird. That one gives me the login has failed message to enter new password or try again. I've compared the settings on that account with the others that work and they appear to be correct. However when I check saved passwords, that account is missing the smtp line for the POP account. At this point, I've run out of ideas of what to do, short of deleting that account on Thunderbird and setting it up as a new account. Help! Thanks.

I apologize in advance for the language, I'm writing from a translator. Thunderbird on several accounts, every few days requires a password ... "login to the server failed, enter a new password". Just in case, I changed the passwords on these accounts (with the option to remember), a few days of peace and again the problem. However, logging in with the old passwords before and the new ones now on the server is no problem at all.

I reinstalled TB but unfortunately it doesn't help. The same on the stationary and laptop, what could be the problem? Currently, email is available only on the server, I do not have access to Thunderbird.

Problem It prompts "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" when adding Gmail on my Thunderbird on Manjaro Linux. My Google account has 2FA and Authenticator enabled.

No google webpage asking for login popped out. (but Microsoft's webpage did popped out and asked me to do 2FA when adding an outlook account).

Tried to add and use "Google app passwords" but it didn't work for me.

All other of my emails worked well including outlook and several others.

I have two profiles in my Thunderbird account. I want to create desktop shortcut for each profile. That way I can use the shortcut to get my email. On on profile I just want it to go straight to that account without asking for a password. On the other one I want it to ask me for a password. Is that possible and if so how can I do that?

TB (ver 128.6.1 esr, 64 bit) not updating Verizon emails since 21 January 2025 to my PC. AOL Webmail shows new Verizon emails. Running Windows 11. No VPN. Firewall is off. AVG Antivirus turned off. POP account. Tried: If you cannot log in to your ISPs web-based email interface, your password may have changed. If so, it must also be changed in Thunderbird. To change your password:

       ◦ Click the menu button  and choose Settings.
       ◦ On the Security panel, click on the Passwords tab and then click Saved Passwords....
       ◦ Click on the relevant account and then click Remove.
       ◦ Close and re-open Thunderbird. You will be prompted to enter a new password for the account.

Reopening TB does NOT ask for a new password. Running TB in safe mode does NOT ask for a new password.
