Thunderbird Community Forum

July 2024 - Thunderbird is demanding that I change my Hotmail password, after long trouble -free operation. It will not login. Why? (I have not changed the PW yet, hoping for a solution that will avoid the necessity.) I fear that it may be due to some fault in OAuth. Can anyone please provide any help to overcome this problem? Tom.

On start-up the message thread density is always compact. How do I save "default" setting. Also, how do I stop the privacy policy window always appearing on start-up?

No longer receiving nor able to send emails from my Comcast address. Password no longer recognized. Tried accessing emails through my Xfinity account but it won’t recognize my four digit code and DOB to sign in. Can someone please help?

Hi,

I installed thunderbird in a new computer via flatpak. The computer is running PopOS 22.04 and the current Thunderbird version is 128.0esr.

I don't know if this happened after the last update from 127 to 128 or was like this before, but on the compose window all the menus and buttons on the top row are completeley invisible, white on white (if I hover over them, then they are slightly visible). See the first 2 images.

The main window is OK and everything is readable (see 3rd image).

I don't know how to change these colors.

Any help will be appreciated.

To Whom It May Concern: I have Thunderbird installed on a Laptop with Win 10 OS. Some Email I've received and I've read, a few days later don't appear in the Thunderbird Inbox. I can go to my Email Providers Web Mail and the Email are there, accordingly, they have not been deleted.

I also have Thunderbird installed on a PC with Win XP Pro as the OS and the Email that can't be seen on the Win 10 Laptop are there on the Win XP Pro Computer. Can you tell me why the Email is not found on in Thunderbird installed on the Win 10 Laptop?

Kind regards, William Angel

following a tech problem on my broadband providers server which occurred several weeks ago I am now being prompted by Thunderbird to provide a password. I used the password which I used to setup the Thunderbird account originally. I have not had any problems logging into the system since, but today Thunderbird prompted me for the password, which I inserted but is now not recognised. Can anyone help please.

the number of mails by the inbox and by the sent items, both on the left, does not match the number of mails to the right of these two items. in the trash, both numbers are correct. for example, i see number 10 on the left and 7 mails on the right. how can i fix this? or how can i remove these numbers on the left? i am using the latest version of supernova.

//all of my email from 07/17/24 axe stuck on a deleted email when I try to open new emails, This isn't he first time that this has happened I've checked all of my settings and as far as I can tell everything looks ok However, I'm not a computer wiz so I don't know what the heck is the problem? And like I have said this isn't the first time that this has happened I didn't change settings on my computer and neither nor on Thunderbird???

All emails look like they have arrived at the same minute - like now the latest email arrived is at 09:07, previous 5 emails arrived 08:07, all emails arrived yesterday showed as if they arrived 2024-07-30 22:07, 2024-07-30 21:07 and etc. Attaching screenshot of Date column of my emails. Not sure how to fix that. Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64-bit) on Fedora 40.

I have mapped Gmail / Hotmail / iCloud accounts to my Thunder bird mail client on my Windows 11 PC.

However of late I find that only the Hotmail account keeps popping up the dialog asking for password. This is quite a nuisance as Hotmail is my primary mail account. But the funny part is I do get mails in my InBox even if I cancel the dialog box. And even funny is it repeats the dialog even if enter the right password.

Appears to be some issue related with how password is handled.

Any help is appreciated ! Thanks

I'm runnning Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64-bit) and use it to download email messages from an outlook.live.com server.

For many weeks now, Microsoft has been sending this warning to my old hotmail accounts: "To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th."

I tried switching the POP server setting on one of my hotmail accounts from "Normal password" to OAuth2, but then Thunderbird would stall when I to download mail. So I've had to switch Thunderbird back to "Normal password."

I've asked for help at the Mozillazine Thunderbird forum, but so far no one has been able to figure out a solution to this problem. So I'm hoping to find help here.

Greetings,

      I find the default body text font size for message composition to be too small. I can enlarge it by pressing control+ several times which solves the issue for the current session but the new setting is not saved as a default. The text size always keeps reverting back to tiny at the start of the next session.

     I have made numerous attempts to change the default message composition body text font size via advanced settings. So far I have not found an option that does the job.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

In the latest TB version, 128.0.1, emails I'm sending to oher people or even to myself are showing up in Sent but not being received by recipients- looks like big problem!

I just had the upgrade to version 128 and in the add ons it saying that confirm before delete is not avaiable for this version is there going to be an updated version for 128 as I have found this very useful add on very helpful
