I have changed the privacy settings as suggested in the help guide, but any image I text to my e-mail is blocked. They can only be double clicked on the footer to open them in another application. Is it possible to have them load automatically in the body of the e-mail?

Currently unable to set up to an existing account on a new laptop. I’ve verified user name and password on the old laptop, but these don’t work when setting up the new one. The Thunderbird set-up wizard found my configuration in the Mozilla ISP DB, but can’t verify it. In other words, it won’t accept my username or password. I’ve done this for both IMAP and POP3, but it makes no difference. I’ve confirmed user name and password for both smtp and mail folders, and tried them in setting up. However, on the new laptop, Thunderbird doesn’t ask for user name, but just the name as displayed to others. Once I get set up, I’d like to copy my archive into the new system. One thing at a time…

I think this comes from google and they seem to want me to set my google account to accept Thunderbird's less restrictive security policy. I'm not sure any of this is correct and it thurns out there is no simple way to fix my google account. I'm losing interest fast. I have not used Thuderbird for a year, and if i'm correct, something happened at google in that time to lock me out. This was working very well a year ago. tnx

After upgrading to Thunderbird 60.2.1, I can no longer send messages. I'm running Linux 4.15.0-38-generic.

I get the attached error saying that I have problems with STARTTLS SMP. However, I have my connection security as SSL/TLS (second attachment). I haven't changed anything for years on my connection security. I successfully sent emails yesterday. Sending still works on my other machine (Windows) with v 59 and the same settings..

I had 2 gmail addresses in Thunderdbird. For the first one, I just changed the password authentication method to Oauth2 in the server parameters and it instantly made the replication work.

For the second one, I unfortunately deleted the account and couldn't recreate it, even with the "less secured application" set on in the Google Account parameters. I also tried to activate the 2 level connexion method and generate an application password but couldn't find any way to use it in thunderbird. Therefore, I'm stuck with Webmail Gmail application. I have noticed that the connection has been bllocked by Google (see image)

Hope some body can help (this is related to Google security reenforcement actions but seems that Thunderbird is not up to date on this issue).

Please find attached the first page of my troubleshooting info.

I have not been able to make a connection to the mail.comcast.net for a day now. I see the connecting bar at the bottom but get a failure that it failed to connect. I cleared the password manager. but no popup appears to enter my password in. So without authentication, it cannot get the email. I can't force the login popup to appear to enter the new password.

Server settings are fine, I am using POP3 which is remaining a valid choice. I use avast, current version (autoupdate) Thunderbird is current too. My firewall is WindowsDef, but Thunderbird is on allowed list. I have briefly turned off both Avast and still no connection. I', not sure if defender is blocking even if I selected it. Comcast of course denies anything as the web interface is fine ATM.

(this is not the router or modem as another laptop using thunderbird (probably older as it's my mother's) opens fine. I have done little else for the last day and have run out of things the check, help>! Thanks

Have removed password entry in security. Tbird then hangs on 'Connected to ....', but does not offer chance to put in new password. So I can see inbox and emails on BT but not through Thunderbird. Solutions appreciated.

We are planning to use Mozilla Thunderbird as the email/chat application for our users, however, because our security policies we can not give the passwords to the users. If we can disable the "Saved Password" button or the "Show Passwords" button using the "mozilla.cfg" file, it will be an extraordinary solution. I tried adding some like: lockPref("signonViewerDialog.enabled", false) lockPref("signon.ViewerDialog.enabled", false) They are being shown at the config editor, but not working.

I will appreciate any help!

Thank you.

There was a time when Thunderbird had add-ons to do this.

I need to see the Real Sender, _NOT_ the common name, of the sender of an email.

How do I do this?

Thanks.

I'm setting up a new computer for an elderly lady. On her old computer she logs straight in to emails. But I want to set up on new computer but it doesn't recognise her email address or password - both are correct. Old computer is not Wifi so modem is connected by a lead. I've been transferring the lead to the new computer - but maybe I don't need to do that? Would that be confusing the configuration?

I changed my Gmail password and Thunderbird asks me to enter the new one, however, it displays my email address with a lit 'Next' button but the button doesn't take me to the next screen to allow me to enter the password, it just flashes, no matter how many time I click it.

When I send a message to anyone using the blind copy option, both the name and email address appears on the recipients copy of the email. This first started in December ( I send Quarterly mailings to several groups.) I have used this program for last couple of years and never had this problem before. What has happened and how can I correct it.

It looks like they are being sent as a blind copy, but they arrive with the email address showing.

Recently transferred from Chrome. My understanding was Firefox private browsing was supposed to work similarly to chrome incognito mode; once you close the browser, all local files are deleted and cookies are cleared.

However, with Firefox it maintains my logins. If I log into an account while private browsing and the close the browser, I’ll still be logged in next time I go to the website even if it’s days later (and I have never logged into this account in a non-private browsing window!)

I never had this issue using chrome incognito, so it seems to be a Firefox problem.

Is this just not something Firefox supports? Is there any way to prevent storage of cookies and private data?

If I were to delete my Mozilla account, would I be automatically signed out of both my Mozilla account and my Mozilla Support account across all devices?

Also, when deleting my Mozilla account, is any and all information related to both my Mozilla account and my Mozilla Support account deleted?

the email "email stating We couldn’t process your monthly recurring donation from noreply@fundraiseup.com" really appears to be a scam

Please advise

Thank You
