I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I had an att.net account on Thunderbird, worked fine up until a couple of weeks ago. Started not accepting password and getting att.net inbound server inaccessible errors. Deleted the account and tried to set up new att.net account using default parameters. Same results. Has att.net change something to their default config and Thunderbird missed it? I can still access (send and receive) my att.net (yahoo) account online so I know it's still active. Thanks, Bill.

I recently asked for help because I couldn't add a Gmail account. I received a reply about cookies, but I had already enabled cookies. It still can't access Gmail. Any other suggestions.

Our organization is using Gmail. Since roles change every few years, we thought it would be convenient to make the roles aliases, so we can easily point them to new accounts when the roles changed. So, for example, we had president@organization.com pointing to joan@organization.com. Now, Ken is the new president, so we have changed president to point to ken@organization.com.

Clearly, this was a bad idea, because everyone's email client remembers that Joan was president, so we get stuff like:

On Jun 14, 2021, at 3:35 PM, President at Organization <joan@organization.com> wrote: and in the header: President at Organization <joan@organization.com>

I realize there is no global way to fix it, because each person will have to fix their own client associations, but I can't even fix it in my Thunderbird email. I have gone through all entries in the address book for Joan, and deleted the president@organization.com address, and yet still, when I respond to an email from Joan, it shows:

President at Organization <joan@organization.com>

What am I missing?

Can I duplicate an address book in Thunderbird? I have too many contacts in one of my lists, and want to separate the list into two without having to reenter all the contacts

I use to be able to automatically forward incoming emails from one of my TB accounts to the other, I can no longer find that option - is there one or a workaround? thank you, M

Have written email message via thunderbird. Somehow, the SEND box is now greyed out and the message is not sent. No action knowingly by me preceded this condition. Thank you.

Thunderbird login fails after password changed in imap Gmail. It stays in a loop asking for yur emal address over and over even though it is correct. This darn (for lack of a much stronger word) has been around on and off for over 6 years. Coming and going and never being fixed or documented why it happens. It appears that Google knows that Thunderbird' UI is superior to their UI, and want to force Thunderbird users to switch to their crappy UI. I changed my password in Gmail based on Googles recommendation. What a BIG mistake. "If it ain't broken don't try to fix it". Then I changed it on Thunderbird (I AM NOT POP, BUT IMAP), Linux mint 18.3 cinnamon. The EXACT SAME login that fails on Thunderbird works perfect on direct login to native Gmail. At this point I'm about ready to move to Yahoo email. If you do not know the exact answer/reason please do not give me suggestions to try this try that. I have been a software developer for over 30 years. It is rejecting my email address with out any error message only clearing it and asking for it again? Thunderbird was working for over 10 years on my Linux system. The ONLY change was password on Gmail and Thunderbird. This issue is Almost impossible to happen without some Nefarious reason by Google wanting to block Thunderbird users. As an aside; Why does Thunderbird use it's own internal browser to login?

I have THunderbird version 78.11.0 installed on 2 windows 10 computers. I'm using 2 accounts - yuri101@prodigy.net and yuri@prodigy.net. Both accounts are using the same inbound/outbound servers. Today suddenly one of the accounts on both computers can't receive or send any emails. I'm getting message that password on inbound.att.net and outbound.att.net are invalid. Settings are the same for both accounts, yuri101 is working OK, yuri is not working. I can login to att.net with yuri@prodigy.net and it's working fine. Under save passwords I see the same entry for both ids. How can I fix this issue? Thanks a lot, Yuri

I want to know how I can stop getting these Red Lips beside an email, because when you go near these emails, they are deleted and I cannot find them again. Any help appreciated. Thanks Michael Quinn

Whenever I open Thunderbird, it only shows a few emails and most of the screen is taken up with a large ad requesting a financial donation to Thunderbird. How can I get rid of this large ad and see more emails?

Hi, I've recently switched to TB. I installed "Provider for google calendar" in order to expect the calendar connection to google, but unfortunately the plugin keeps me prompting for the password via launching external window with google account login and requesting permissions every time I start TB.

Windows 10 clean installation / Thunderbird 78.11.0 Gmail account, 2FA enabled, OAUTH2 enabled with gmail 16password.

Any ideas how to use google calendar without having the issue above?

Thank you

I get this error message when I send attachments. I don't know if they are sent or not. "An error occurred while sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: shw-obgw-4002a.ext.cloudfilter.net cmsmtp 15.222.253.13 is listed on Cloudmark CSI-Global. Please visit:// https AUP#IPBL1000."

I want to not get this message. I want my e-mails to be sent.

I got back my address book by restoring to a "neutral" location, then copying the mbook and history files. I can see the folders with file sizes in windows explorer, however they don't show in the newly installed TBird. Any Hints?
