Microsoft tell me that I must use OAuth2 for my accounts, else I'll be locked out.

Server is imap-mail.outlook.com. If I select OAuth2, then I can't receive emails unless I reset back to Normal Password.

I'm also supposed to set my SMTP server (smtp-mail.outlook.com) to OAuth2, but this isn't an option on the drop down list.

Help, please!

How can I remove the display of the e-mail address in the'Correspondent' column of the inbox - I just want the sender's name displayed? I am using the current version of Thunderbird.

Hi, 3 weeks ago I suddenly could not log in to my email without errors.

First I get a Google screen "Choose an account" showing the three Gmail accounts I use. I select the first one.

"Mozilla Thunderbird wants to access your Google Account". This refers to calendars. I take the Allow option.

Then I get the message "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to localhost. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details."

When I close this window I get another Google screen .

"Mozilla Thunderbird wants to access your Google Account". This refers to i) mail, ii) contacts, and iii) calendars. I take the Allow option.

Then I get the same message message "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to localhost. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details."

This process cycles through the other two emails. Then I get and authentication failure message.

I have seen hints that this might be a certificate issue but I have tried in vain to find certificates stored in Thunderbird.

Any help approeciated.

Thanks

Thunderbird says downloading 1 of 214 then sometimes 2 then 3 then 4 but always stops before 6 and no new messages have been displayed since 5:27pm yesterday.

mailbox-message://Admin%40AlanG.us@outlook.office365.com/Inbox#91795 last msg in inbox

Tried rebooting system also tried closing Tbird before the reboot and again after testing after the reboot twice now but still same as since yesterday afternoon.

Any ideas would be welcome am using web based Outlook to access new mail without issue but dislike the interface.

Thanks, Alan.

I use thunderbird through vpn to my work site. I am required to use two accounts, one to login to thunderbird and download messages and a separate smtp password to send messages.

After logging into thunderbird, the first attempt to send a message works fine. It prompts me for my smtp account password and sends my message.

The second and subsequent times I try to send a message, I get the popup error:

``` The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) relay.xxxx.xxx for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. ```

The thunderbird error console reports:

```

   mailnews.send: Sending failed; 
   The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP)
   relay.xxxx.xxx for an unknown reason. Please verify that
   your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try
   again.
   
   exitCode=2153394004, originalMsgURI= 
   MessageSend.jsm:337:32
       fail resource:///modules/MessageSend.jsm:337
       _deliveryExitProcessing resource:///modules/MessageSend.jsm:687

       onerror resource:///modules/SmtpService.jsm:211
       _onError resource:///modules/SmtpClient.jsm:510

``` Once I restart thunderbird, I can send a message again - exactly once.

Other mailer applications using vpn to connect to our mail system do not have this problem.

Thunderbird does not have this problem when I am connected directly to my site's internal network, not using vpn.

My thunderbird Outgoing Server configuration is:

``` Hostname smtp.xxxx.xxx Port 25 Username xxxxx@xxxx.xxx Authenticaton Method Normal password Connection Security STARTTLS ```

Those settings are consistent with my site's requirements.

I'm using thunderbird 115.12.2 on a mac running macOS Sonoma 14.5.

This problem first surfaced when I upgraded from thunderbird 102.12.0 to 15.4.1.

It really acts like things are configured okay, because it was able to send one message, but then something gets stuck after that.

Thanks for any insights.

I use thunderbird with IMAP through vpn to my work site. Our site uses single-sign-on to connect to our mail server.

Sometimes my thunderbird client cannot authenticate to the server. The behavior is inconsistent. When I first start up thunderbird, one of 3 things happens:

a) Thunderbird logs me in via single-sign-on without prompting for my password.

b) Thunderbird gives me a login window, allows me to enter my password, and logs me in.

c) Thunderbird gives me a blank login window. The status bar at the bottom of the main screen says it is sending login information, but it has none to send. I never get logged in.

Under behaviors (a) and (b), the thunderbird status bar at the bottom of the main window says it is sending login information, opening INBOX, and downloading messages.

Sometimes restarting thunderbird or rebooting my laptop fixes behavior (c), and sometimes not.

When I'm connected, I can see my saved passwords via the Thunderbird Settings->Privacy & Security ->Passwords->Saved Passwords list. When I keep getting the blank login window, this list is empty.

I'm using thunderbird 115.12.2 on a mac running macOS Sonoma 14.5.

This problem was first noticed soon after I upgraded to thunderbird 15.8.0.

This behavior was duplicated by our support staff using thunderbird on Windows.

I don't have any data to show whether the problem happens when I am connected directly to my site's internal network. I'm not connected to that network frequently enough to be able to test the behavior, since it is so inconsistent.

My thunderbird server settings are:

``` Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Hostname xxxxx.xxxx.xxxx Port 993 Username xxxx@xxxx.xxx Connection security SSL/TLS Authentication method OAuth2 ```

Thanks for any help.

Dear Sirs

I have really made a mistake in my settings. Unfortunately I have had difficulties reading my written mails and have tried several things. Changing the layout, using the zoom etc. TB does not save my settings and keeps writing af very small font. The font has always seem very small.

To search any help I have found the following: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klIOX4dsXU4&ab_channel=ChrisWaite

I really think I was very carefully about the change and I really do not know what has happend. I have somehow changed the default value in: layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from -1.0 to what was expected to be 1.20. But now it covers all my screen and I have no possibilities to find settings menu or even to move around to more menus.

I really appreciate if you can somehow help me to edit to the default value again. I can't find any config files in my PC under APP.data.

I really will feel very sad - if I cannot go back to my lovely mail clients settings and using all my setup in the future.

Please take a look in attached picture.

Hope you can Help - I will really feel very thankfull for your helping support.

Best Regards Alex

Since yesterday I can't send e-mails anymore from my strato mail connected to Thunderbird.

I get this notification that I have to set the authentification method but everything is correct and has been working for a long time.

I am using the right port, the right address, password set to normal, SSL/TLS.

It's exactly like what it wants me to do so this error notification doesn't help at all. :S

Any ideas?

Kind regards, Nick

My email DannyDelRay@hotmail.com stopped sending & Retrieving. There's no 0Auth2 Option in my SMTP setup for the Microsoft Outlook or 365 servers so I can't overcome this issue. I have downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird and still no option for that. What do I do. This is quite important to me. I appreciate your help. Of course, for now I can retrieve my email via Outlook but I have 20 differnt emails I collect with TBird and I'm not about to change mail clients.

TBird version : 128.0.1esr (64-bit) I just updated to this version but it would not update automatically via the about Thunderbird window. That just would not update for me so I had to download and update the latest version from your site.

NOTE : I have not tried deleting the hotmail account and reinstalling it because I want to make sure this 0Auth2 thing has been tried first.

Thanks in advance for your help.

until recently to select multiple messages on the message list pane, I held the CTRL depressed and clicked on the messages I wanted to select. Then could do an operation e.g. DELETE or MOVE on all the selected messages at once. That doesn't work anymore. Only one message can be selected at a time, and gets deselected when another message is selected. The CTRL key has no effect.

My Hotmail email account is suddenly asking for passwords. I saw this was a problem 8 months ago. Yesterday, I deleted the email account, and then re-added it. Sent a message to Hotmail to test, and it worked fine. Today I turn on my PC and the same issue is happening again. I know the password is correct as it works fine when I log in on the browser (and it obviously worked fine when I re-added the account and tested it yesterday). I don't think I should have to delete and re-add an email account everyday just to check email. Why would this work one day, and stop the next? I can't find anything regarding Microsoft changing anything that would cause this to happen. Is anyone else seeing this with Hotmail? Can someone help me fix it?

Hello, since about two month I can't read some mails. In the overview the from and subject is ok. In the quick preview or when I open the mail I ony get a content like "------=_NextPart_000_0008_01D603AB.DC067530--" When I open the IMAP Mail on my phone or with another mail client, I can read the mail normaly. I use the Thunderbird 128.0 esr x64. This problem is also present when Thunderbird is started in save mode.

Thanks and have a nice day Tobias

For many years I've been getting my various podcasts by subscribing to the RSS feeds with Thunderbird. The podcast then appears as an attachment to a RSS item, which I can right-click and download.

Until a few weeks ago, possibly after I updated TB to 115.12.2 64bit:

RSS feed items no longer visibly have attachments. If they have a download link, I can right-clicking on it and Save As, but nothing happens and nothing is saved. If I left-click on it a player gadget opens and starts playing. I then have to right click on that and Save Audio.

Examle podcasts that are giving me trouble: https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/0185cea5-9e3b-4b82-a887-26f91f92765f https://feeds.twit.tv/sn.xml http://risky.biz/rss.xml

Is there a config option I can set to restore the previous behaviour? I can't go on using TB for my podcsts as it is - it's too much of a pain.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I want Thunderbird to save my email passwords for both incoming and outgoing mail for several accounts (both POP3 and IMAP). I currently see no entries under "Saved Passwords". As far as I can tell, the only way to trigger password saving is at the point of creating a new account, by checking the "Remember password" box. However, that box remains gray and is unable to be checked. I'm running Thunderbird 115.13.0 (up-to-date) on Windows 11, and get the same results with/without Norton 360 or other similar utilities installed/running. All help will be much appreciated!

Thunderbird updated to 115.13 today and since then I can't receive mail from outlook.office365.com. (Could just be coincidence). Outgoing mail is OK.

Error Console gives:- 20:49:11.948 pop3.server2.7: SecurityError info: Pop3Client.sys.mjs:422:20

   _onError resource:///modules/Pop3Client.sys.mjs:422

20:52:21.344 pop3.server2.8: NetworkTimeoutError: a Network error occurred Pop3Client.sys.mjs:380:18

   _onError resource:///modules/Pop3Client.sys.mjs:380

I've tried removing the saved passwords and have also tried upgrading to 128.0.1.

I can log into webmail with the password OK, so I'm sure I'm using the correct credentials.

Server Settings are:-

account2 (pop3) outlook.office365.com:995 SSL/TLS OAuth2 smtp.office365.com:587 STARTTLS OAuth2 true

I downloaded Thunderbird 120 and installed. All I get is error message saying windows is searching for thunderbird.exe and nothing else. Old version has disappeared and I can not uninstall - get same searching for uninstall.exe. I have tried re-downloading it and re-installing it 4 or 5 times, still nothing. help please.
