Just received an email stating that after Sept 1, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email apps without use of 'Microsoft’s modern authentication methods'.

What does this mean for Thunderbird?

I can't setup a new Gmail account because (1) Thunderbird won't let me finish the setup until it tests the account at Gmail, but (2) Gmail won't let me finish setting until they they can sent me a setup email to me at my new address on Thunderbird. It's a Catch 22. What do I do? Thank you.

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

My Apple desktop has been compromised by malware on my Firefox browser. HELP! Do I need to erase the history? Please respond asap: [edited] on 7.20.24 Thank you, Kat Franck

I have used Firefox since it was Netscape, with an ad blocker if one was available. With version 128 I am seeing many, many, many ads where I used to see almost none. I have blocked popups but that's not as much help as you'd hope. I cannot find anythng like AdBlock+ or U Block. Are these no longer available? No longer recommended? I can tell you that they are sure still needed. Thanks.

Gitlab adds a "X-GitLab-NotificationReason" field to the email headers, but only sometimes. I want to filter out messages that do not contain this header. How do I do it? The only operators I can see in the GUI are "contains", "doesn't contain", "is", "isn't", "begins with" and "ends with".

They don't take regexes or wildcards, do they? In that case maybe "is *" would work?

Hello.

I use TB on several laptops and desktops. Same (latest) versions.

Is there a possibility to copy the spam filter settings/rules from one pc to an tother pc? If so, what files are the name of the files i have to copy and paste. Or do I have to make rules and spam settings on each seperate installation of TB

On all my installations I have the same emailaccounts.

Thanks in advance and sorry for my (bad?) language (i hope I made myself clear) Henri

Microsoft sent me this: Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods.

Will Thunderbird continue to link me to Outlook? If so, how?

Thank you.

When attempting to send emails from any of my email account using 128.0esr - after pushing send, the email to be sent just sits there and never goes anywhere. I know that all the settings are correct for my email client since they worked fine with 115 (wish I could get back to 115.12).

I dual boot Win10 and Zorin Linux 17.1, and run Tbird on both of them, works great!

I copied my profile directory from Win10 to Zorin, and then renamed it to the name of the profile directory that the Tbird installation on Zorin had chosen. So both systems access the same 10 IMAP email accounts. I keep messages locally, so the profile uses a fair bit of disk space on both systems.

In fact, the profile originally came from a different Win10 machine, so I had to copy it to a (large) thumb drive. And that took several hours and encountered numerous problems. The structure and content of the profile directory tree is bewildering. But despite the errors that caused a few thousand items (of the 302,000) not to get copied, it seemed to work just fine(!).

It turns out that Zorin seems able to read and write NTFS filesystems quite well. So now I'm wondering if I can copy the profile directory from Zorin to the Win10 partition on the same machine, and replace it with a symlink to that NTFS directory? Does Tbird do funky low-level things to the profile that might not work as expected with Zorin accessing it on NTFS? There would be no risk of race conditions since only one system can be booted at a time. It's just the problems I had copying to the thumb drive in the first place that make me worry that Tbird does some kind of magic with the profile that might not work with linux accessing NTFS...

I guess I'll go ahead and try it (and report back here), but I'm wondering if I should expect problems.

Thanks!

In a mass email, I want to use a portion of a large graphic (.jpg) as a link to a web page. I do realize that I can use an individual graphic as a link, but is there any way to specify a region, defined by pixel row/column, to be used as a link? Thank you.
