Mircosoft has indicated that after Sept. 16 it is not possible to access my e mail account on outlook. They require a more modern/sophisticated method of authorization, login and password is not enough. What to do?

Text (in Swedish) from the e-mail that I received from outlook@communication.outlook.com:

Det här måste du göra

Om du får det här e-postmeddelandet använder du för närvarande en e-post- eller kalenderapp som ansluter till ditt Outlook.com-e-postkonto genom en mindre säker autentiseringsmetod. Du måste uppgradera din e-post- och kalenderapp från tredje part till en version som stöder moderna autentiseringsmetoder.

I have my email account set up on my phone (Android) and on Thunderbird. Both are set up the same way receiving emails via POP Mail server. Messages are left on the server until I delete them. Certain messages appear on my phone but never appear in Thunderbird. I do not have any spam filters set up on Thunderbird. Junk settings are set such that messages from people in my personal address book are not treated as junk, and yet they are also amongst those that do not appear. Junk messages, in any case, are not moved from my mail folder.

Furthermore if I try to forward the missing messages from my phone (where they appear) to myself again, they will still not appear in Thunderbird.

Why cannot I not see those (missing) messages?

I just got a new computer and I installed thunderbird so I can access my work email that I set up with thunderbird. I'm having trouble signing in to the business account I use for work.

Sync or import from 1 PC to another with different versions of Thunderbird. What version do I need? Does it work? Is there a way to backup the messages and addresses on an external disk to access later?

Is it possible to query the commandline options (especially the version) of firefox and thunderbird?

the only way i found out is to query windows registry: reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox" /s | findstr /I main reg query "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Thunderbird" /s | findstr /I main

The goal is: backup firefox and thunderbird profiles via script/batch and read the version for a later restore.

Best Regards

My old computer died and I'm setting up the new one, including my Thunderbird email. I'm in a catch-22. When I enter my email address as part of reactivating the account, I'm told a code will be sent to that address. But how am I supposed to retrieve the code if I can't get into the account to get the email? I don't get it ......

Hello,

i added my professional mails through imap to thunderbird. They work fine but 25 minutes after the new mail lands in my inbox, it autodeletes the message and i can t find it no more..(not in archive, or recently deleted).. I already reached out to my host but he told me I probably had to change some settings in the app.. i tried to but it still autodeletes them and i can t find them. What can I do?

I appreciate your help.

Best regards

When I first downloaded Thunder bird I gave a donation. Since then I have had to reinstall my Windows 10. When I downloaded Thunder bird again I am been asked for a second donation. I would appreciate it if you could stop asking for a donation again. George

How to do something like this in Thunderbird?

I wish to change my email address on thunderbird account, i have been getting a lot of scam emails from unknown sources and will be cancelling [edited] @tpg.com.au email and changing to [edited] @gmx.com and wish to change email address and keep contacts.

Hi,

I'm thinking about purchasing a Microsoft Surface Pro that uses the Snapdragon ARM Processor.

Will thunderbird run on windows 11 with ARM architecture?

Thanks, Dave

yesterday, suddenly my thunderbird stopped working/. i could only get a page asking for a donation. so figuring i had no choice, i donated so i could get my emails back. NOT SO..... i have tried to add my bluetie email (slsargent@mail.manti.com) and thunderbird cant find it. I had hundreds of saved emails in that account and now have no access to them. what do i do now. i also do not like the new thunderbird format.

Hello.

I am using Thunderbird for 12yrs, also some paid features like Owl for Exchange.

After the latest update to the version 128.0.1 esr it is impossible to work with it, it constantly freezes and not responding, especially when I start typing or editing in the quick filter bar. This is the first time ever I am opening a ticket via this form, it pretty much says how frustrating this issue is. I hope this will be fixed in the next versions, so far I am rolling back to the previous version, since I need to have access to my emails, not to lose half a day, waiting until it responds.

I recently had to update all my passwords for all my Thunderbird email accounts. It all seemed to go well. I was able to logon to all my email accounts, but just 2 days ago I wasn't able to logon to one of my secondary email accounts.

I haven't been able to clearly understand just where my passwords are located, so does anyone have any suggestions on where to find my passwords?  I'm stuck....

Besides this, I have six pop accounts in the one Thunderbird program on my computer and have never had anything in "local folders;" I also haven't set it up for anything as I have no idea what it would be used for. Thank you in advance.
