For the past couple of months, every time I boot up my computer and launch Thunderbird I get the attached error messages for each of my email accounts (2 Hotmail and one Outlook)

Repeatedly clicking "retry" often results in success but sometimes I get the second message indicating the server has disconnected. Usually, after a few minutes things settle down, the messages come through and all is well but it is a nuisance. I would switch to using Outlook but it cannot send multiple emails which I periodically need to do and I don't want to encourage Microsoft's near monopoly of computer technology.

I have tried accepting coookies as advised elsewhere in here and tried turning on O Oath as my authentication method but this just got me another error message saying this authentication "was not supported on this platform" (whatever that means??) Anyway, I reverted to using "simple password" which does eventually work.

I looked at 2 factor authentication but that proved to be impossible to understand and, in any case, I rarely carry a 'phone with me and do not want to clutter my 'phone up with more apps. I use 2 factor authentication on a lot of my confidential accounts and none of these were as complicated to set up as this one and certainly did not invole scanning QR codes and installing special apps.

Will this bug be fixed by more updates to Thunderbird or is there some other way of solving this problem.

Push notification banner from YouTube stays on desktop without closing after 5 seconds. Why? Windows 10 never had this issue. With Windows 11, it worked after a clean install and then it stopped. Why? I checked all settings within Windows.

Settings / Accessibility / Visual effects (ON) / Dismiss Notification after this time amount (5 Seconds) / Notifications checked (ON).

The notification banner hangs and never closes. Google search tells us how to enable and disable. IT HAS NOTHING FOR CLOSING BANNER AFTER 5 SECONDS.

I have 5 email accounts we will call them A, B, C, D , E

Sometimes my A account doesn't want to connect, and it appears to just stall on that one account.

Is there a way to have the accounts download in a different order say start with D, then E, then B, A, C?


I know I can rearrange them in a different order on the left panel, but it still wants to download in the ABCDE order.

How might one be able do that?

Thanks

Firefox does not allow me to post comments on New York Post. The comment section says I must log in to post, but I am already logged in. I can log out and log back in again, but still not allowed to post as it says I need to log in. When I change browsers there is no difficulty posting after logging in. What setting on Firefox is preventing me from posting on NY Post?

Account 1:

Enter name, email address, password, check "Remember password" (sic). I've also tried skipping the password for now.

Click "Continue," and see "Configuration found at email provider," good.

Click "Done," but nothing happens.

Account 2:

Enter name, email address, password, check "Remember password" (sic). I've also tried skipping the password for now.

Click "Continue," but nothing happens.

I see that there are similar posts, but they are mostly archived.

Some mention error messages. I just get no response.

Some mention enabling OAuth2. I see no such option. If I use "Advanced." the options are "Automatic," "Normal password," (sic) "Encrypted password," (sic) "Kerberos/GSSAPI," and "NTLM."

I'm trying to switch from Outlook to Tbird on Win10. I have my email hooked up. Can I use my Outlook Calendar and Contacts? How? I have a yellow message that says "All calendars are currently disabled. Enable an existing calendar . . . " I have no idea how to do this. Same problem importing Contacts. Is this because Tbird is made for Unix? I have version 128.1.1esr (64-bit). I use default directories when installing. Thanks for your help, Steve

Every time I use the browser, I am delayed by : p.typekit.net for a little while before I get results. Why? Can this be removed from the search or browser? I can use a book mark and I get the same hang up on p.typekit.net EVERY time. It slows the browser quite a bit. I have used Firefox for over a decade and would like to keep using it. If you can't fix or can direct me how to fix I need to change browsers because the browser lag is getting stupid. Please help.

I'm not sure exactly when this behavior started, but I've noticed that when I click a link to an XPI file on a third-party web-site, Firefox no longer prompts to install the extension.

For instance, when I click the outlined link in the first screenshot, the second screenshot shows what happens.

I'm using the current version of Thunderbird with Windows 11. After changing some Thunderbird settings, I suddenly found that addresses no longer self-complete when I begin an address in an e-mail. The addresses are all there in the address book, but not "connecting" to my mail. Please advise what I need to do to get the addresses working again. Thank you!
