Thunderbird Community Forum

I recently received an email from microsoft stating that after 16th September I may not be able to access my Hotmail account using third party email apps. I only use Thunderbird on my win 7 computer.

Will I still be able to access this account with Thunderbird??

Thank you

Rob

Update: Unfortunately I've tried all the settings I've found on here but hotmail doesn't seem to work with the new settings. I've taken a screen shot of my original settings which I'll include. As of right now, after trying the new settings, I can't access my Hotmail. Following are the messages I see when I try:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • @hotmail.com: Host contacted, sending login information. After a few minutes I get a message that it has timed out.

****************@hotmail.com: There are no new messages  However, I sent 2 messages via Thunderbird to my hotmail account (which does send the messages). I went into my Hotmail account via my browser to confirm that the emails were sent and received. 

I tried changing Server Type to: outlook.office365.com, smtp.office365.com I've changed the port to: 587 then back to 995. None of these work. There also aren't separate settings for incoming or outgoing settings that I can find. I've also included a screenshot of the Thunderbird about box showing version information.

As of now I have reverted the settings back to what they were and I got the 2 test emails I sent. I have no idea why the OAuth2 settings won't work. I also tried the Port: 587. The default didn't change from 995 even after restarting Thunderbird. I should also mention that I restarted Thunderbird after each change I made to the server settings.

First image is original settings. Second image is about screen for Thunderbird

I'm out of ideas. Nothing seems to work so far. One last question for now. Are there settings after I log into Hotmail via my browser that need to be changed??

Thank you

Simple question to which I have been unable to find a a straight forward answer.

Thunderbird 115.12.0 (64 bit)

MS Office caps out at 50GB. Thunderbird used to be 4GB many moons ago, what's the limit (if any) now?

Hi, I want to export only my contacts. In all descriptions they say click right to select standard adress book, print, export... In my ThB it only offers standard adress book. How can I select the export only for my adress data? When I selct export in the Extras menu it only gives the option to export the whole profile (limited by 2GB). Can you help me? Hans170

Hello everyone.

I have a small business, and a domain, therefore everything are capped, hence I use POP3 instead of IMAP.

I am using Thunderbird on multiple devices, everything works fine, but is there a way to synch all Thunderbird emails on multiple devices, so I don't have to delete junk mail that has previously been deleted or copy paste sent emails to multiple devices.

NB: I apologise if my issue has been resolved previously.

Thank you

We access AOL/Verizon account using Thunderbird. The other day, when we hit the Get Message button or a periodic check is done to look for new mail. We get the attached pop-up. It appears to be spoofing to be a an AOL page. We are no longer able to access our email. Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a fix? We are using the correct settings.

Hello, it's been a while now that when I land here https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/ I only see version 115.0 as the latest Thunderbird version while version 128 doesn't show up. Is this intentional or not? If not, what's the issue there and is this the right place where to report such issues? Thank you Best Regards

I just received a message that i will lose my access to my e-mails using a third party app . in this case Thunderbird from 16th September

Unless The Third party app (Thunderbird) will be upgraded to a more secure authentication ?

Will Thunderbird be able to do that before the 16th of September? see the full message i added as image.

I want thunderbird to block TOP LEVEL domains. This does not mean (example@example.com) or (example.com) This means .com

I have a huge list of Top Level domains I need to completely and totally block ALL emails from. I cannot block domains. That is a useless effort for 4 reasons:

1.) The Top Level Domain called .space (among other in my list) use spam email addresses such a example.space This gives them an INFINITE number of email addresses to use. There is NO way to block them other that at the TOP LEVEL.

2.) Blocking just the Domain (example@example.de) is also useless... read reason #1

3.) ICAAN has made it much easer for spammers to create unique top level domains. .... read reason #1

4.) My email provider does not and will not provide me options to block any Top Level Domain I choose. Its beneath them to provide such an essential tool.

So, How can I set up Thunderbird so that it will totally block and Never download from my mail server ANY top level domain that I choose???

I dont want to know about using other email programs. Just provide me a method, tool, app, add-on, shareware, or whatever that will let me use thunderbird to block TLDR's

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.

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

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.

Can you configure Microsoft shared mailboxes, as outlined in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/admin/email/about-shared-mailboxes?view=o365-worldwide, in Thunderbird. If so, can you tell me how? If not, is it on the roadmap?
