Hello, I have two Hotmail accounts on Thunderbird, one @hotmail.com and one @hotmail.es (if that makes any difference). Both working fine since switching from Windows to Linux a week ago. As of this morning, the hotmail.com address can't send emails (it can receive them no problem). The hotmail.es email can send and receive no problem, although it has the same settings.

When I try to send an email I get the error: "login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username ...,@hotmail.com failed. " If I click on 'enter new password', it just tries to send the email again without asking for a password, although I don't think that's the issue because I can login via the outlook.com website using that same password.

When I click cancel, I get the error: "Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to outgoing server (SMTP). Please check the password and verify the authentication method in account settings/outgoing server/(SMTP)".

I've checked both POP settings and outgoing server settings and they are the same for both accounts, apart from the email address obviously (pic below). I got these settings from the Microsoft page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/pop-imap-and-smtp-settings-for-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040

Microsoft support said it's a Thunderbird problem. I've tried disabling my firewall and VPN. Would appreciate any other ideas (in absolute beginner terms if possible). Many thanks for reading.

Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64-bit), Linux Mint 22 Cinnamon 64-bit, Gufw Firewall 24.04.0, VPN Surfshark 3.0.3, Hotmail.com, ISP = Three 5G

I seem to have lost the search bar that allowed me to find certain emails in specific folders. I am now left with the one that searches all my email folders. Why? How do I get it back?

When I start Thunderbird I get the error message: "Login to server imap-mail.outlook.com with username mousehold@hotmail.co.uk failed." I have searched the internet and found this Mozilla support page, which seems to describe my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

However, I am unable to complete the solution offered, as Thunderbird (version 128.1.0esr (32-bit)) does not have the 'OAuth2' as an Authentication option for the Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings, as described on the support page...?

After i closed firefox with two windows it only restored the wrong tab and because most of the tabs were open some time ago i cant restore it from history too. Can i somehow restore them?

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.

I am running Thunderbird Version 128.1.0 esr and I have noticed that one of my accounts in the Account Settings window has a star against it (see attached screenshot).

Can someone tell me what this star means as the account works perfectly as do all the others, nothing has been changed in the account settings and I have never seen a star like this in the Account Settings before.

Thanks.

Good day. i have the 115.13.0 (64-bit) version of Thunderbird installed on a Windows 10 computer. It keeps crashing whenever i try to save an attachment from an email or include an attachment to an email. Basically, whenever the dialog box opens to save an attachment or select a file to attach, Thunderbird crashes.

i had a similar issue with Firefox. That problem went away when i uninstalled and reinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions). However the problem with Thunderbird persists.

Here are the last six Crash Reports IDs: bp-53c587b1-27a7-4db5-8e2b-225040240806 8/6/2024, 2:00 PM bp-903b1358-8fd4-43fe-af2c-088d20240806 8/6/2024, 1:52 PM bp-392b62dd-6b13-4df0-b0e5-2b6dc0240803 8/2/2024, 6:32 PM bp-1ab3a2d4-4335-40a7-a2f4-e54a80240726 7/26/2024, 11:55 AM bp-f5a69dc1-ca42-4bd3-b8a4-4e2820240715 7/14/2024, 7:24 PM bp-2c81780c-352e-4c95-820f-e73080240713 7/12/2024, 6:29 PM

Please advise

Thanks, franc

Hi. I was just looking at Google Photos on both Firefox and Chrome. Chrome had a bigger picture because the window had only the tabs bar and the address bar, and Firefox has an additional title bar. I was wondering if it would be possible to remove the title bar so the picture on both browsers were the same size?

the bookmarks menu won't list alphabetically. I have gone to manage bookmarks and chose sort A to Z. It will sort right then, but when I exit that menu it goes right back to not alphabetical
