Thunderbird Community Forum

my personal e-mail is @msn.com; been using it with Thunderbird for years, but lately it asks continually for my password and tells me login (imap/outlook) has failed. It's been getting more frequent and today after multiple attempts, and restarting my computer it still didn't work. I am able to use my password to sign into my msn.com account and see the e-mails using the mozilla browser (or chrome) but can't sign on at Thunderbird. I have another e-mail address in Thunderbird (at my own domain) and there have been no issues with that address. However, if I am looking at my personal/msn e-mails, then go to the other inbox and return to the msn inbox I am usually asked (repeatedly) for the msn password and login fails. The problem started a couple of weeks ago and has grown progressively worse/more frequent. Any ideas on what happened/changed and what I can do?

Last night I lost all email and contacts through Thunderbird. Using Thundrebird 128.1.0esr on a MAC OS Sonoma 14.6. Can't use software as it will not work after opening it up. Uploaded image of current status. Let me know how to proceed. Already deleted and reloaded software with same result.

I needed to migrate my account to another laptop and i was advised to use the the following method: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer.

However, all the emails dated prior to the move, come up blank now, only the headers can be seen.

Server type is POP

I cannot download them from webmail as for majority the previous server was IMAP which is no longer connected.

In latest update 128.1.0esr the quick filter is extremely slow. When typing something in, Thunderbird freeze totally for about 20 seconds, then about 15-20 seconds later the result shows up.

This function have been working excellent in previous versions. Very quick, just fractions of seconds for result to display. And the "check in content" is not checked.

Swedish version if that makes any sense.

Why do I find duplicate sub-folders in my Gmail folder? There are two 'Drafts' folders as well as a 'Sent' and a 'Sent Mail' folder. Each duplicate sub-folder contains slightly different messages and neither can be deleted. Come to that, there's also a 'Junk' folder and a 'Spam' folder What's going on and how can I resolve it to rationalize/simplify the structure?

I read this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202.

When I click on 'Outgoing Server', then 'Edit', there isn't an 'OAuth2' option listed as an option in the drop-down list for Authentication Method.

I updated to the most recent Thunderbird, and the option is still not listed.

Please let me know what I need to do to set up OAuth.

Thank you

Hallo, ich habe Windows 11 neu installiert, nun habe ich das Problem, das angeblich mein Mail Passwort nicht stimmt. Ich habe schon alles ausprobiert, die korrekten Passwörter von T-Online eingebeben, die Passwörter geändert, nichts hilft. Ich habe auch schon Thunderbird neu installiert, doch alles ohne Erfolg. Könntet ihr mir bitte weiterhelfen, das ich dieses wundervolle Programm wieder nutzen kann?

Hier noch mein System: i7 6700 K, WIN 11 HOME, GTX 970Grafikkarte, 500 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Harddisk,

Danke im Voraus

I had a cryptogroup email account on Mozilla Thunderbird for many years. Then quite suddenly it stopped working. I could get no information about why or what happened even long after it expired. It just went away.

I moved to another system. But I find myself in a legal battle that requires an email from that system. I have no way to access it since the server is no longer available. But I desperately need a copy of that email.

Is there any way I can get to those emails or to someone who can get to those emails and send me a copy of the email I am looking for?

Obviously this cryptogroup email will not work any longer. So any notifications sent to it will not get to me. So Please send any response to nvfree@proton.me.

Thank you.

I use the Search Box on the top line of Thunderbird. I have been double-clicking the box to get to a full-page search entry (Duck-Duck-Go).

As of today (6-Aug-24), this no longer works. The only places to search are the address bar, or a very short search bar.

Did this change in the last update? Can it be restored?

Thanks, Lex Rutter Idaho
