So Microsoft sent one of those "take action or lose access to your account (btw, Thunderbird sux, use Outlook instead, nudge, nudge, wink, wink)" e-mails to me. So I've beeen jumping through an unholy amount of hoops in order to find out what I'm supposed to do in order to fix whatever it is that needs fixing. I seem to have found the answer here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/modern-authentication-methods-now-needed-to-continue-syncing-outlook-email-in-non-microsoft-email-apps-c5d65390-9676-4763-b41f-d7986499a90d. They were even "kind" enough to include specific instructions for Thunderbird. I did step 1 successfully, but unfortunately I'm stuck at step 2 because the Authetication method selector won't offer OAuth2 at all, as you can see here: https://i.postimg.cc/mrSstFtt/Captura.png.

1. What am I doing wrong? 2. How can I set my outgoing mail server to use OAuth2, then? 3. Do I need to anyway?

Hope you can give me a hand, so far this has been way more trouble than it needed to be. And after I sort it out I still need to do the same for K-9 on my phone -_-'.

Hello I have a ntlworld.com email as my main email, I recently added a second email address on gmail.com When I try to send an email on ntlworld I am unable, yet I can send emails on gmail. Before I added the gmail.com I had no problems sending emails on ntlworld.com I am able to recieve emails on both ntlworld and gmail.

sorry for the trouble but I am an anologue in a digital world.

I have been using thunderbird without any problems for many years, but recently it stopped downloading emails from my two (IMAP) accounts (different domains, but both using the same host server). And sending emails fails as well with the following message: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) send.one.com timed out. Try again."

I can still access my emails through the web but since my entire office procedure is designed around Thunderbird, I'm keen to get this sorted.

One.com - my hosting service - say that there is nothing at their end causing the problem. So I guess its some setting in thunderbird somehow stopping communications with both the incoming server and the outgoing one. I have gone through the obvious steps - checked numerous times the server settings (including changing these to alternatives suggested by One.com tech support) - they are all as they should be. Also I stopped my antivirus for a few minutes, just in case it was that.

All of this happened without any obvious update or change to the Thunderbird version, or any action of mine that could possibly have changed any of the settings.

Any ideas? And if no positive suggestions, does Thunderbird have logs which might give me more information as to why the contact be me and the servers are failing?

I have a new computer and download Thunderbird. I make a donation and the next screen ‘Just one more step’ Finish. installing and start enjoying Thunderbird. But nothing happens and there are no more icons to click on. Any help?

Hi!

I'm just trying to make the OAuth2 changes according to article https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentifizierung-thunderbird-2024. But for the outgoing SMTP server there's no option "OAuth2" offered. Thunderbird 115.13.0 (32-bit) on Windows 10

Kind regards, Willy

How to set message background color besides white? I'm having issue with the white background visually. I'm a Vet and legally blind in my right eye. Solid white backgrounds gives me very bad headaches. So, I would like to change this. Please see the attached image. The white area is what I'm talking about. system: windows 11 23h2 dark theme enabled. thunderbird 128

Thanks in advances, -Scot

Hi! Our email server recently migrated from Media Temple to Microsoft and, like many people, we are able to receive messages but not send them. I have gone through the process and updated both the SMTP and IMAP settings to no avail.

One support article says, "Per Microsoft documentation, administrators should visit https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/adminconsent?client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753 and grant the following permissions in order to authorize Mozilla Thunderbird: IMAP.AccessAsUser.All, POP.AccessAsUser.Al, SMTP.Send and offline_access."

I have followed those instructions and am still unable to send emails from our accounts. The only account able to both send and receive is our admin account. Does anyone know if there are additional settings that we need to configure in Thunderbird or does this need to be done in Microsoft Entra admin center?

Hi Thanks for providing this service. i have set up TB on new computer. i have followed the guide to transfer profile and local folder to new computer. I was expecting all the mailbox folders that I have saved emails etc. would have been transferred during that process. Please help with a step by step process to transfer these folders. Thank you john

Tried installing v115 latest on Ubuntu. Hangs when I try to set up email acc and it tries to log into the Gmail server. "Danger ahead" displayed on page with no option to force it to proceed.

Thus please dispense with any solutions for this and just inform how I can install v91.1.2 using apt-get

I see you list the versions but I see no where on how to specify which version to install.

Windows 11 root drive failed. With new drive and fresh install I reloaded my email from back-up and all went well!

Of course I lost email between last back-up and drive failure (as expected). I have subsequently been able to recover data from the failed drive and I can see the data from the time between back-up and drive failure.

Is there any mechanism to merge those message back into my active mail storage?

Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64 bit).

I got a new computer (still a Mac like my old one) but evertime I try to import any OpenPGP keys, I just get an error that says “Error! Failed to import key.” and nothing else. I’ve directly exported my onw personla key from my thunderbird on my old laptop, put it on a thumb drive, tranfered it over to this one, and still I can’t open it.

Hi, I am running TB 115.12.1 without any extensions. I have configured caldav accounts, on Forwardemail servers, on TB as well as on Android with DAV5x. Everything syncs without errors and most calendar entries are visible on TB, but not all!!! I have installed OneCalendar app along side TB and OneCalendar shows all calendar entries (as far as I can tell)!

Has anyone experienced similar issues? Any ideas how I can procede would be v welcome. What are the known issues with calendars on TB115.12.1?

Thx everyone.

Cheers, Adrian

My laptop using Windows7, the processor died. The hard drive is ok. I am now using Windows10 in a newer laptop. I don't know how to access all the data from the other. I don't think I did a back up. I've got both personal & business. Is there a way to retrieve my old Thunderbird info? [And just so you know, I learned my lesson about not backing up.] And thank you for any help!

Currently using Windows 10, 22H2, Thunderbird 115.12.2. This PC has been working fine since it was built approximately January of this year, 2024. I have not installed any new software or made any major changes for several months. I'm using Bitdefender Total Security. Recently I started noticing this issue with Thunderbird (I've been using as long as it's been out.)

When composing a message, I now see on a regular basis at the lower left of the message window "Assembling message......." or "Assembling message......... Done". Thunderbird does not crash. If I continue to compose and send, the message always sends. So I'm not having the error some others have had in the past. But it does look like the message I'm typing may be having issues being put into the Drafts folder while it's being composed. That seems to be the only operation happening when the message appears.

I have seen this past week the messages sending and being placed into the Sent folder but there have been at least two messages identical to the ones sent that are still in Drafts and are not deleted after being sent. So whatever is going on seems to be a bug with the saving of the draft and then cleaning out Drafts after the message is sent. Note these are text only messages and I did not change any settings in Thunderbird after updating last week.

While Bitdefender updates on a regular basis and Thunderbird notifies me of updates when they are available (same with Firefox), those are the only items being updated so it seems something is going on. I am going to assume this is an issue with Thunderbird for the time being since nothing else has changed. I've gone through tips noted for those having errors sending messages when they get the Assembling message notification but I don't get any errors. Just a weirdness with the Drafts folder.

In the interest of safety, I don't want to turn off AV to test anything. I've also compacted folders to no avail. Seems that notification keeps coming back.

Any additional help would be appreciated.

About 3 weeks ago, I stopped getting email from ATT in Thunderbird. I am able to go online to the ATT mail and see my email, so it is something with Thunderbird. I've looked online for other suggestions and have tried several. Between everything, I've really messed things up and not sure where to start now. Last thing I tried was to delete the certificate and now I can't seem to add a certificate. Not sure if I'm suppose to create a new one or if there is one on my computer.

This morning I found some steps on how to create one. It had me go to the End-to-End Encryption to generate a new one. I didn't see that option, so I created a new OpenPGP key (not sure why I thought that would help).

Maybe the best thing is to try and reinstall Thunderbird.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Thank you.

The screenshot showing the symbols is in the attached image. Is there a conflict between my settings and theirs?

Is there a way to alter/customize the order of my email account folders? Eg, can I rearrange the order of folders named Trash, Inbox, Sent, Temp, Notes, Outbox and many others I created? TIA

Trying to install Thunderbird on a new laptop but getting "unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." I don't know what the right configuration should be, but the username and pw are correct.
