I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I have two email accounts with Rogers where I use Thunderbird on my PC as an email client. Rogers recently forced changes to my account to require an an OAuth2 authentication method. Rogers itself was unwilling to provide me with any direction as to how to do that and after much trial and error I have been able to configure Thunderbird to receive emails, but I can send on only one of the email accounts. On account #1 - The inbound email settings are set to a server setting of pop.mail.yahoo.com, Connection Security ssl/tls and authentication Oauth2; the outbound server is smtp.broadband.rogers.com with the user name being the account email; it works fine. On account #2, the inbound settings are the same except for the account email. It works fine. On account #2 the outbound server settings are also smtp.broadband.rogers.com. However if i add the email for the second account to the user name on the outbound settings it then blocks the first. Clearly I am doing something wrong when configuring the outbound server settings but I cannot figure out what to do.

I changed my email password today due to a security issue. After changing it my incoming mail server is fine but my outgoing server won't accept the new password. I tried changing the saved password in the manager and it still won't work. I also tried changing back to my old password and it still won't work. Any Suggestions?

Turnoutpac.org is a vicious fake progressive organization (in my opinion) that hounds me multiple times a day with spam that the spam filter fails to screen out. There are a few others that get past my highest filter setting, but they're the worst.

I use an old mail system, earthlink.net.

Help! Thanks, Linda

my email account has been compromised. This is a business account that I have used for over 9 years. I want to change the password so that they won't be able to log into this account. I don't see where to change the password. I see where the password is saved, but not where to actually change the password for the account.

I have Att.net mail and when I quit receiving emails, got a secure authentication key from ATT.net. I now receive emails but can't send because it's looking for a password. I don't have a password for outbound nor can I change whatever password I have. What can I do to send emails?

I searched Google for Thunderbird and the first Ad result is thunderblrd.com with an "L" instead of an "I" I'm assuming it's a scam that has you download a malicious clone of Thunderbird. I'm sure this has been brought to your attention already. Thank you.

Whenever I send mail I have to enter my password again. This is annoying enough. But since the upgrade to V78.9.0, I now have to enter it before Thunderbird even opens at all. Three times is too much. How do I st up to only enter once, please? I use Thunderbird as a client for an Outlook account.

Hello Everyone, Here is a pending problem using Thunderbird to download Gmail messages... Google is about to mandate 2FA (or similar) security as the only way to access all Google Accounts including Gmail. With the additional security in place, Thurnderbird cannot access my account and download my emails. Making "This device" "Trsusted" still does NOT allow Thunderbird access. So, how do I continue to use Thunderbird to access and download my emails? Regards, Peter

Hi all, looks like I lost my password for Server imap.mail.me.com, I do not have access to mails and I got no real info, what I can do to maybe reset the account, or find my password somewhere...., thanks for help

For a class, I set up PGP security for emailing to a recipient. In moving to another hard drive, I lost that key. I'd like to just turn off security for that address, so I can once again correspond with it, but don't see how to do that.

Thunderbird 78.10.0 (64-bit)

My Exchange account configuration in Thunderbird: Return Receipts --> Use my global return receipt preferences for this account --> When I receive a request for a return receipt --> Never send a return receipt

Thunderbird is ignoring this configuration as it always sends back a return receipt.

For example:

1. Write up a test email to yourself
2. Options --> Return Receipt
3. Send
4. Wait for the email to be received in my Inbox
5. Open the email --> at this point the return receipt is send
6. After a few moment, the return receipt email is received in my Inbox

I have even tried changing my account configuration to switch from "Use my global return receipt preferences for this account" and to set the account directly to "Never send a return receipt" but that makes no difference at all.

I came to know about this because of a spam email that included the following headers:

Disposition-Notification-To: <infos@commandes.site> X-Confirm-Reading-To: infos@commandes.site Return-Receipt-To: infos@commandes.site

Exchange couldn't deliver the return receipt as the email address was no longer valid. Because of that I received back a failure notification from Exchange.

Is there any particular reason why Thunderbird is ignoring my account configuration? This is quite annoying as even spam email can trigger this behavior despite me explicitly not wanting them to know I opened it in the first place (just like we're not loading external content).

Dear,

I used thunderbird a few years and my current version is 78.6.0 (32bit) now. I set up a few accounts which included yahoo/hotmail and used normal. But early in Nov. my hotmail account cannot receive any email and other yahoo accounts can receive normally.

I checked with Microsoft community and found that I must set up two-step verification on the hotmail account. Therefore I followed the instruction to set up. Then I removed my old hotmail account in thunderbird and re-set up the hotmail account with new two-step verification generated new password in TB. But TB still displayed the message (about cannot access the hotmail server....)

I download the another email software - mailbird and setup hotmail account in that software. I type the same account name, two-step verification generated new password, the same imap/smtp server information. The mailbird can access my hotmail account and receive the email normally.

So, does anybody know what the problem is in thunderbird ? (Because I still want to use the TB for my email software)

Thanks

When Thunderbird is opened on my Dell laptop the message: Login in to server (mail server).com with user name (email account address).com failed. The message has two options Retry or Enter New Password. Retry gets nowhere, same message appears. Entering the correct password for the email account also gets a repeat of the message. Checked the password in Tools/Options/Privacy & Security/Passwords/Saved Passwords and the password used is correct. Thunderbird was uninstalled and Thunderbird file in the Program Files folder deleted. Computer restarted and Thunderbird reinstalled. Same situation with same failure message displayed. The password utilized works with my desktop, iPad and iPhone Thunderbird account without fail.

In addition when installed Thunderbird was selected as the default email provider. However, each time Thunderbird is opened the message requiring "Set As Default" selection needs to be made before continuing.

Any suggestions on how to resolve these two issues would be appreciated.

Hello, I am using v78.10 (32bits) on Windows 10 (19042.964). My Local Folders is on a network drive addressed through an UNC path. I can't guarantee it is due to the latest update but I was not seeing TB system files and directories such as .sqlite, .json; .ini, .lz4 as well as directories like saved-telemetry-pings etc. in my list of Local Folders few days ago. How to get only TB User mail directories? Regards,
