Have 2 accounts in a TB install: gmail and outlook. Use outlook as my primary sending account. All mail received on outlook account is FORWARDED to gmail account. Have been asked several times this morning to either login to Microsoft account or enter a new password. Entered my "regular" Microsoft/Outlook password when asked and told TB to save it. Still getting authentication problems. Password I am using WILL log me into the Outlook website. Any clues?

I had Thunderbird set up using the native icloud calendar function, but today it is asking me repeatedly for my caldav icloud ID and password. When I enter the login credentials, they are not being accepted by Thunderbird. I am using my icloud ID and the app specific password I set up for Thunderbird - but they are not being accepted anymore by Thunderbird. How can I get Thunderbird to accept my icloud login credentials, so I can see my calendars?

Have been running classic Outlook email in Win 10 for years, with a blueyonder.co.uk (Virgin) email address. Now moving to a new PC running Windows 11. Tried to setup Outlook email in Win 11, but Outlook keeps telling me that my blueyonder address doesn't exist though I still get emails on my phone and my old PC running Windows 10. Given up on Outlook and advised by a friend to try Thunderbird. Now trying to setup Thunderbird. It looks very hopeful; it found my Virgin account and setup corresponding server settings, but when I click on "Done" I get the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I have checked my password by signing in to Virgin, where I can see my emails. Dave.

I have multiple gmail accounts set up on Thunderbird. They were all working fine until I traveled overseas and came back. Then, all of a sudden, 1 gmail account stopped working. The rest kept working fine. I checked the settings and they were correct. I removed the account and tried to set it up again (about 10 times), but kept getting the same error message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." The automatic configuration passed and I even tried manually configuring to the recommended settings to no avail.

The only thing I can think of is that when traveling overseas and trying to get online, Thunderbird and/or Gmail asks for further security verification, and I just avoided using Thunderbird altogether while abroad. Upon my return, I started getting this error message. It is extremely inconvenient to have to use the Gmail interface for only 1 email (my main email!). Does anybody know anything I can do to repair this? I'm almost tempted to use another email client altogether to make my life more efficient as the new setup is not sustainable.

Thunderbird won't let me login and doesn't deliver my emails. I have reset my password and still can't get my emails. How do I get some assistance on this issue?

For years I used Thunderbird to process my Earthlink emails. Thunderbird suddenly stopped accepting my Earthlink password, which I repeatedly tried and reset. Is something wrong with my Thunderbird settings? Mac IOS 13.7.1

Whenever I sign in to sync my browser it keeps asking me to sign in again to reconnect to sync.

I've tried reinstalling the browser, deleting the Mozilla directory in %APPDATA% and reinstalling, removing account and signing in again.

No matter what I do I keep getting asked to sign in again to reconnect even though the initial sign in was successful.

Unfortunately my laptop crashed with windows 10 on it. I have since had it fixed with windows 11 installed. However when I try to sign in to my Sky email account through Thunderbird (imap.tools.sky.com) my password fails. I have signed into my sky email separately (they use Yahoo) with the same password and the same password works fine so I can get into my email account with no problems that way. I am now stuck as I am using the correct password but Thunderbird is saying that the login has failed. So I am asking how can I solve this.

I live in Germany and use Deutsche Telekom's T-Online system for my main e-mail system, so my email address is: k.vanleuven@t-online.de

Due to some security problem, I had the change my T-Online e-mail password and since this time I can't send or receive e-mails from my German version of Thunderbird. Thunderbird asks me for the"secureimap.t-online.de" server password, but it doesn't recognize the new password that I have for my T-Online e-mail system.

I store my e-mails in various folders folders in Thunderbird and I want to continue using Thunderbird for my e-mail management.

I think I might have to re-install Thunderbird from scratch. Must I do this, if so haw do I save all my e-maile files?

Your help in solving this problem will be very much appreciated.

I upgraded to update 138. Thunderbird now requires me to enter a Primary Password. I never set a primary password. I cannot send, receive, or make any changes to Thunderbird.

How do I get out of this situation?

Suddenly I am getting a pop-up window on Thunderbird asking me to sign in to continue with Mozilla Thunderbird email. It populates my email address and after clicking ‘next’ it says.

‘400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know’.

i cannot send or receive through Thunderbird, at present. Who is the genius out there that can tell me what to do?

Hallo, ich habe seit 2 Wochen Probleme mit der Authentifizierung meines Mailaccounds von AOL. Alles was ich Versuche funktioniert nicht. Ich bekomme jedesmal im eingeblendeten AOL Autentifizierungs Fenster die Meldung "etwas ist schiefgelaufen. Ich habe in meinem AOL Account schon mehrerer Male ein App Passwort für Thunderbird erstellt. Habe dieses App Passwort Thunderbird genannt. Konto ist ein SMTP IMAP Konto, die Ports stimmen auch. Ich habe mein AOL Mailkonto mittlerweile in Thunderbird komplett gelöscht und ebenfalls die AOL Passwörter gelöscht. Die Authentifizierungsmethode für outh2 ist angewählt und Cookies sind eingeschaltet.

Ich kann machen was ich will. Die Autentifizierung funktioniert nicht.

Woran kann das noch liegen. Ich bin mittlerweile ratlos.

I described this problem on this forum a couple of hours ago--but I now know any response to help me will come via email--which I cannot access due to the password problem. I was using Thunderbird mail when up pops this pop-up asking for my password. I have never had to use a password to access my emails with thunderbird email. I tried a Yahoo mail password, a mozilla account password, a thunderbird account password--none are wanted. I can't find where to change a password or add a new password.

How can I get some help not sent via email.

I DON'T want my email account password to be saved anywhere in Thunderbird and I DO want to have to enter the password each time I start up Thunderbird anew. However, my password is being retained. I've deleted the password entry from Settings & Saved Passwords but seem to have to do that every time before I close down. Where/how can I ensure I have to enter my hotmail password each time I start up Thunderbird please?

I recently transferred my Thunderbird account to a new PC and have been getting a pop-up to enter credentials for a google account every 10 minutes or so. After the pop-up is opened (sometimes in the background), no new mail will be fetched until the pop-up is closed, this is frustrating as I sometimes don't notice the pop-up so seems like I am not getting emails. The pop-up is for Google account, but my mail accounts is from MS Outlook, I don't use Thunderbird for any Gmail and I don't think this Thunderbird profile is associated in any way with my personal Google account.

This is a work computer, so not associated with my personal accounts. I dont want to put my personal Google login here and I don't know how to stop the pop-up.

The transfer was done by copying my profiles folder to the new PC, then installing Thunderbird and creating a new profile, and pointing to the profiles folder. I've had the same profiles folder for 10-15 years or more and not seen this before.

I am not able to login into my gmail account. Whenever I try to sign in, it shows the message as shown in the attached image. I have tried clearing all cookies and cache. Also removed all the extensions to see if it fixes it Please help me. I have Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon Firefox version 131.0.3 (64-bit)

I've followed Thunderbird setup according to "Automatic Conversion of Google mail accounts to OAuth 2.0 Authentication" (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20) The failure is described in my initial post below:

Mozilla Support - Signin, and use of Thunderbird https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1484529#answer-1729438

LarryGad post (Reply to Ashley LambertonQuestion owner): I get the same screenshot Ashley posted above. But...clicking Allow doesn't download my Gmail messages. And clicking the link, Account Permissions, just produces a blank window. An idiosyncrasy is I'm the domain administrator for a "Free Legacy Edition of G Suite for personal use".

This paragraph may not be relevant to the above issue. I did stumble across the Account settings link (https://myaccount.google.com/general-light?pli=1) which contains the line: 'Connected accounts View and manage your accounts from other services' Clicking the 'View ...' link goes to https://profiles.google.com/connectedaccounts and displays the message: "404. That’s an error. The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know." Highlighting the 'View ...' link shows https://profiles.google.com/connectedaccounts?authuser=0

Thanks in advance.

I have a dual boot laptop. It came with Win 11 installed and I added a new ssd with an old Win 10 system, which had Thunderbird configured. The win 10 system worked fine with outlook and I saw and verified the password. I upgraded the Win 10 to Win 11 and it all continued to work fine. I again checked the password stored in Thunderbird. When I tried to set up the same account in Thunderbird on the "as installed" Win 11, it fails to pass authentication. I have no idea why since I have checked the password in the "old" system and used it in the new. I have tried using the menu option "New Account" and the submenu option for "+ New Account" within the "Account Settings" menu item. Both seem to take me to the same automatic process - which is what is failing. I can't see what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. Any help much appreciated. The laptop is a MSI Katana AI B8VE (using AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS.

TB on Windows

Prior to TB 148, OAUTH worked for POP3 access to: Gmail, MS Outlook, and Yahoo.

After TB 148 upgrade: OAUTH to Yahoo fails, subsequent log-in page also fails. Both OAUTH to Gmail and OAUTH to MS Outlook still work fine.

Rolled-back/Reverted to TB 147.0.2 -- OAUTH to all works fine, as it did previously.

Note: YahooMail seems to have other problems. But I was able to confirm successful OAUTH and POP3 to YahooMail after reversion to 147.0.2.

I've been using Thunderbird 140 esr on Windows 10. I got a new computer with Windows 11 and decided to go to the Release channel for Thunderbird which is at version 142. When I try to set up my ATT/Yahoo account, it fails "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." If I go to the manual setup, the authentication method I used for TB 140 on Win 10, OAuth2, isn't one of the options. How do I get that option back? I tried unticking the Create Accounts in the new Account Hub, but that didn't help. I also tried uninstalling 142 and installing 140 esr on my Win 11 box. It has the same problem: No OAuth2 option.
