I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hello. I am running Thunderbird (not sure which version) on Windows 7 to access my email on my laptop.

My email account is with British Telecom (BT) who use Microsoft 365 (operated by 21Vianet). I have been told, rather late I think, that my Domain Name emails (which comprise the majority) will now only work after 31 October 2022 if I have OAuth 2.0 authentication rather than POP.

I tried changing the server security setting on Thunderbird to OAuth2 but when I tried to access my email I was told that OAuth2 would not work with the server and I should change back to Normal password.

I am not sure if the latest version of Thunderbird will work on my operating system, although the current version offers OAuth2 as a security verification. Is there something I can do to continue getting my email via Thunderbird rather than using the cumbersome Outlook. I use Outlook on my mobile and assume this will work when the changes take place. Maybe I am missing out something in the Settings.

Thank you, best regards

Hey everyone,

I don't know if I am missing something here but on my Windows 10 machine I am seeing the E2EE tab in Account Settings (as I should), however, I can't see it on my MacBookPro 2020, M1. I could see it before but now I can't... I wish to add a key pair to one of my accounts but I can't. I tried using the key manager and generated a key pair for the account I want but when I draft an email it doesn't let me use OpenPGP...

I am in the process and think I have completed the process to open up the new Thunderbird access for my e mail. In the previous version I could close my e mail when I had finished writing and or reading/deleting e mails. In this current version I do not seem to see where I can close my e mail when I have finished. Any suggestions?

Hi there

Everytime I open Thunderbird on my desktop, it downloads hundreds of previously deleted/removed emails. It also often duplicates other emails that have been opened but not put into trash or removed. I think it's someone that's hacked the account but it's not picked up by my anti-virus/malware program.

Also fequently freezes the computer when in Thunderbird.....doesn't do that when the program is deleted as it is now.

Look forward to any suggestions or help

Thanks

I keep getting scam emails that show from geeksquad and have mark them as junk and tried using the filter to just delete them but they keep coming. I don't know if what they show as "from" is different from where the are actually sent or what and was wondering if there is a fix or something to just delete this automatically. I tried the unsubscribe link in the emails and that just makes it worse and I also have been using the adaptive junk controls.

Hi there, i have a Win10 VM with thundebrird where i cant see/get/try to exisist the PGP end-to-end option in the account config. Every other System running in our organisation has no problems with Thunderbird using the buildin end-to-end config.

I tried the same thunderbolt setup with different accounts and on different systems, in only just doenst exist whithin a win10 VM which is running on a debian host.

Today I can not access my thunderbird email. Must be the Google issue, worked yesterday. I have updated to the latest 91.10.0 release and still have the issue. Appears the update that should have updated the settings for this google situation, did not apply. Followed the instructions for possible correction: changed the accept cookies to all copies and always. Do not see a Config Editor under the General Preferences. At least not an area labeled as such. Do not know the status of javascript within my system. Current passwords do not have the oauth preceding any password. What steps should I take to correct this issue and be able to retrieve my emaii? Could not find a phone number available to contact support on this matter. David Brunton

after update, TBird repeatedly asks for password and then does not accept. have tried to reconfigure settings but to no avail. what is the best outbound server setting?

bold textHello,

I set up my own ocsp server thanks to openssl. I have a rootCA and some client certificates. Inside those client certificates, there is a authority info paragraph with the URL for the HTTP server and the protocol OCSP. Unfortunately I did not manage to force Thunderbird to send the OCSP request toward my own OCSP server. Instead it's sending the request to another server. Anyone knows how to redirect Thunderbird's request to a specific OCSP server ?

Thank you

I use v102.0b5 (64-bit) on Mac OS 10.14.6 with a main password to protected my mail account passwords.

When I start Thunderbird, I have to enter my main password. Problem: The little window pops up several times even while I am already typing my main password. So I have to wait a bit until Thunderbird "calms down" and re-enter the password. But even after pressing enter, it may pop up again, but usually Thunderbaird has indeed received my password and the access to my mail accounts work fine.

This should be really fixed as soon as possible because it is very annoying.

For some reason I am starting to get emails addressed to other people. To be clear, our names are similar but not exact. For example, the email is addressed to [edited] @AOL.com or something close to it. The email addressed to that person shows up in my Inbox.I would like to know how can I stop this from happening and why did it start in the first place. Also, has this happened to other users? Is there anyway to test my email to see if it has been compromised?

It appears that someone else is checking my emails before I do. I have been logged in twice this week to visabily see the emails that I see that are new become, "read", as I am looking at them.

Considering it happened yesterday before I received an email informing me that my storage unit was robbed it happened. Also, ALL of my emails are gone from the past 2 years. Two of them were threats. When I went to print it out..The emails had been replaced with a completely different email and it was marked as read. I actually never read the two. I saw the threats from the subject and did not open them.

What is going on?

Previously one could tap view, and see exactly all the transmission details of emails, especially spam or phishing, and I could highlight, copy and paste to send to SpamCop or phishing.gov.uk so the sender could be traced and blocked. This feature seems to have gone with the new update. Sorry if thick but am 79 yo Geri. Cheers and thanks

Hi, I get sextorsion mails now and then (blackmail which claims to be sent from my own mail account). These I routinely move to a folder for scam mails together with Nigeria letters and what else I get. There are quite a lot of mails in that folder now! A few days ago I wanted to do some statistics on all these mails, and to my great wonder, all sextorsion mails, save one, have disappeared from that folder. All other kinds of spurious mails seem to remain. Are there anything in Thunderbird that automatically do away with that kind of mail? One of the mails contained nothing but a screenshot, so it did not even have text that could trigger a delete. Kind regards, and a happy new year to you all, Carl Ejnar Nielsen
