I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it

Is there anyway to automate and set default 'Format' 'Textstyle 'Superscript for dates eg 1st to 1st, 2nd to 2nd, 3rd to 3rd? Please have a look at the attached image Some Word-processors do this. Many thanks Derek

Hi, non-techie here would appreciate help. Have just had emails from Microsoft saying that after September 16 they will no longer allow third party email systems to access hotmail. Gave instructions to change incoming and outgoing server seettings to 'OAuth2'. I tried. Can change incoming, but then it gives me some kind of error message saying Thunderbird cannot support... Cannot change outgoing at all- the OAuth2 option is simply not there. I am apparently using TBird version 128.0esr and seem to receive regular updates. I am now baffled. Any guidance appreciated, thank you

I have Thunderbird running on my Linux (mint). I can use it to access my mail on aol. It works well. I want to add a new email account I have on .gmail The last step wants to access "localhost" But the built in security functions will not allow that, so the addition of that new account fails. What can be done?

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?

originally had 1 imap account on my linux mint installation now have 2 accounts and get a pop error msg and no emails since DEC 2023 iF I DELETE TB and reinstall will we loose all our mail, contacts and etc or which account do we delete so as only to have imap and all past mail and etc regards

I am trying to set up an existing Thunderbird email account on a new hardrive I can't remember my password and it does not give me the option to reset password. It wants to send the reset verification code to the email I cannot access without my password I've downloaded Thunderbird email pinned to my startup. When I open it up the 1st dialog box wants full name, email address, and password. I can't go any further to get in to my existing Thunderbird email account.

Just within the last two days we are not receiving our emails, looks like we may be able to send, just not receive.

I have received an email from Microsoft on five out of seven of my outlook.com accounts which informs me :-

The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

Is this correct or a scam. If correct, will Thunderbird be OK?

I have an email address that I used for my business but I've closed the business and want to use the address for personal use. Can I archive the whole of the inbox & subfolders so that I can access them if needed and start again with an empty inbox? If so where can I find step by step instructions to achieve this?

I am co-editor of a poetry anthology. Submissions have come in via email with Word attachments. I need to get a folder of these emails (about 100 of them) to other editors. What is the best way to do this?

Hello,

I updated to 115.11.1 (32-bit) and unified folders will not appear and the option will not stay checked. I have exhausted my options. I previously had 64-bit with same issue so I deleted and installed 32-bit as some said this would help the issue ( I'm on 64-bit windows 10 OS).

I've tried deleting smart mailboxes, virtualfolder and jsontreefolder

nothing is working, I am at wits end. Please help!

Im trying to put my email (prkirby@sky.com) on to thunderbird (version 115.12.1 64Bit) running on a windows 11 computer I have 2 other emails which run perfectly All my settings are correct, pop 3 incoming pop.tools.sky.com port 995 outgoing smpt.tools.sky.com port 465 both my username and password are correct, all these settings work when using outlook 2013 pro plus on a computer running windows 7 username and password also work when signing in to emails on different computers When I create the account the message I get is password/usename incorrect Any help will be gratefully received Phil

There is a feature in outlook that I use all the time at work, where if I reply to a message in my inbox but I had already sent a previous reply, it will let me pick up my reply to include in the thread, that I reply to instead.

It would be great if Thunderbird would do that for my personal emails.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as an 'app' on my PC (Windows 10) in order to access my Virgin Media mail - @ntlworld.com. In the last fortnight my outgoing e-mails have not been sent, and a message 'Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. Authentication Required (VM401)'.

After much time searching for solutions on the internet, I understand that it was because Virgin Media now require a two stage authentication, and I would need to generate a new password specifically for e-mail apps like Thunderbird.

After a great deal of grief, I eventually believe I have now generated this 'app password', but do not know how I can update Thunderbird (if that is what is required?) to include this password. I have updated the SMTP settings, but there appears to be nowhere to include this password.

I would be grateful if you could cast some light on this problem.

Stephen Hartley.

I am unable to retrieve my emails from my AT&T account, keep getting an error that inbound.att.net system error (SYS/TEMP). It keeps asking me to enter my password, but will not accept my password for ATT. I can access my emails directly from ATT.net, so that is not the issue and have checked to make sure POP is correct.

I've lost my email program dictionary at last auto update. I need to delete program and reload but I don't want to loose my email folders. By deleting program, will this effect my email folders? Thanks
