Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

In trying to add my gmail account on a new computer, on the new account screen, after I enter my email information and clicking 'Done', the pop-up window where I'm supposed to log in to my google account is blank (image attached). When I fill in the gmail account info, the IMAP configuration pops up and looks correct (image attached).

In Privacy/Web Content settings, I've enabled 'Accept cookies from sites', to always accept 3rd party cookies (shouldn't affect this, but I'm trying what I can), to keep the cookies until they expire, 'do not track' is unchecked and 'remember sites and links' is checked. In the config editor java script is enabled. I cleared the cache as well.

I've done this successfully with this account on several other computers using Thunderbird, no problem. I tried two other gmail accounts with the same result. I left the pop-up window open for about 30 minutes in case there was some bizarre latency thing going on and no change there either. I've tried filling in the password field on the new account screen and leaving it blank. I've tried with 'remember password' checked and not.

Running Thunderbird 102.11.0 64-bit version on Windows 10 22H2 build 19045.2965.

Help?

I want to connect one of my Gmail account using OAuth2 and I face a blank page after accessing the Google connection page and entering my email address. It only happens on this account.

I have no issues to connect other Gmail accounts, and I tested 4 of them. Is there a way to know where does the issue come from and/or how to solve this? I already applied everything advised in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20, to no avail.

Hello all,

I'm trying to make embedded images that are sent as attachments display by default. I tried adding "moz-nullpricipal:*" as an exception but doesn't work. How else can I do?

So, recently my keys expired, and I extended the expiry data via Kleopatra, a nice interface that comes with the GPG4Win suite - and I exported those keys out to the keys.openpgp.org keyservers. When I search for those keys at openpgp.org, they have the proper, updated expiry dates - and they show as that in Kleopatra - but when I see those keys (and all the exact same imported third-party public keys I've pulled into Kleopatra), they have the old expiry dates, and I cannot sign or encrypt emails. It's quite annoying.

What gives?

Also, what keyserver does Thunderbird use?!?

I sent an E-mail from my account using Thunderbird 102, signed and with added public key but not encrypted. I inspected this mail in the mail server account of the recipient. It contains two attachments: 1) An openPGP asc file which contains the key ID in the name. When opened it shows my ASCII armoured public key. 2) A .sig file: "OpenPGP_signature.sig" When I inspect the same mail in the Thunderbird program of the recipient, it possesses only the first attachment. The sig file is missing. When I try to decrypt or verify the .sig file using Kleopatra or using GpgEX from the Windows Explorer menu, I get error messages like „Signaturfile invalid“ or „input/output error“.

How can I check the validity of the sig file or better, how can I open it to see the complete clear text and decrypt the encrypted part ?

I would be grateful for infos or links to answer my questions ! Sincerely WW

Back in April three Security Exception windows started popping up in TB 102.11.2 (not sending mail or retrieving mail) and if I view it, the certificate shows an expired date. The port being accessed is 2080.

  host2016.hostmonster.com:2080

I don't seem to be missing any mail and they just popup on their own at times (something in the background?). I use IMAP settings and Eset as my AV. It doesn't happen to my wife's TB install and she uses the same email server and AV. It happens on all four computers where I have my account being accessed by TB.

I have scanned the PC with ESET NOD32 and Malwarebytes and neither reports viruses. I don't want to override the warning so I have to close the three windows over and over and over and I am going mad....

I turned off the eset feature that says to ask if a SSL exception is reported. I set it to block, not ask, and rebooted. The popups continue and the email provider support says their certificates are up to date.

Anyone know why port 2080? Could it be related to something other than inbound and outbound email that TB is trying to access?

I can no longer get my password to authenticate my emails in Go Daddy Microsoft 365 for Thunderbird. Says authentication failed bad password, which I have never changed.

I've used Thunderbird (TB) for years and have never been asked for a password until about two weeks ago. Tb is now contually requesting password but it won't accept or save them. I've uninstalled my TB program and reinstalled the latest, but the problem still persists. I've now got emails on the virginmedia server that I can't download to TB. I'm an 89 year old and am at my withs end. I use Windows 11, Tb and Virgin Media as my ISP. Please is ther some one out there who can solve this proble?

Thunderbird has saved the password for IMAP on my email account, but not the password for SMTP, so I have to enter the password manually each time I send an email.

Is there any way I can save the password for SMTP as I am unable to find one in Thunderbird.

Thanks

Hi, I am using Thunderbird as an email client. I don't use any ESET product myself, but I have to retrieve mail from a an Exchange-mailserver that requires ESET 2FA. The first login step seems to work, and then an ESET-authentication window pops up but the contents of the window remains blanc, so there is no way to enter my one-time code. This happens both if I approach the mailserver as an Exchange server, and if I approach the mail server through the OWA-protocol (using Owl). Known problem? Any suggestions? Should this be an issue for Thunderbird or for ESET?

I have my website link in my signature, but how about adding my facebook and instagram pages also, or will that trigger spam settings in people who receive the email from me?

My old email program it allowed me to "mouse-over" the message title and see the real originating address. Thus someone claiming to be Amazon had to have Amazon.com in that address. Thunderbird does not seem to have that important (to me) feature???

I used to have no problem accessing gmail until they stopped allowing less secure app access. Every since then whenever I tried to access my gmail accounts with Thunderbird I get the message "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com". I have done research and made sure I have all the correct settings regarding OAuth2 and cookies and whatever in both Gmail and Thunderbird. But I have never been able to get it to work.

Then suddenly out of the blue I get this login screen for Google that opens in a new Thunderbird window that I haven't seen before. I mean I hadn't even upgraded or restarted Thunderbird for a very long time and it's just been opened in the background working away. So who knows what happened to make that appear. In any case, after I logged into my Google account using that Thunderbird window, and went through the million security notifications from Google about it, I was actually able to access my Gmail account at last.

The trouble now is that I have several Gmail accounts. And I can only access one this way. The others still give me that authentication error. I have checked to make sure that all account settings are exactly the same, and they are.

What can I do to get my other Gmail accounts working in Thunderbird? Is there anyway I can trigger Thunderbird into giving me that Google login windows for my other accounts?

Hello

Can someone tell me if Thunderbird supports RFC 4021 to allow us setting the sensitivity level of a message ?

RFC Link : https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4021#section-2.1.55 Related Microsoft webpage : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mark-your-email-as-normal-personal-private-or-confidential-4a76d05b-6c29-4a0d-9096-71784a6b12c1 Other mail clients support it : https://github.com/M66B/FairEmail/blob/master/FAQ.md#user-content-faq177

But it seems TB doesn't support it... and this is usefull in my company (we setup rules based on it, like blocking forwards when "Personal" is set).

Thanks for the information

Like others, 90% or more of my OUTGOING emails TO gmail accounts are rejected. However 100% Iof gmail accounts are received.

• Google advises to Verify your domain name by entering the following code:
• Verify your ownership of your-domain.com
• Your DNS TXT verification record was not found. You might need to wait a few minutes before Google sees your changes to the TXT records. Please try again.
• 1. Add the TXT to the DNS configuration for your-domain.com
• TXT record:
• google-site-verification=hfwwN3kcDCYXdd73jbxVTScYmf2Meo0Yr8jylwf15dU
• 2. Click Verify
• When Google finds the DNS record that you have added, we will verify your ownership of the domain. To stay verified, do not remove the DNS record, even after the verification succeeds. (DNS changes may take some time and if we do not find the record immediately, we will check for it periodically.)
• Note: On successful verification, your account will also have access to the domain's data on Google Search Console.

Where in Thunderbird to I enter this TXT into the DNS Verification Record. I've searched for almost two hours and find nothing? Thank you

As the subject says it has lost every single password that's possible. I suspected it might have been the latest update but it's filestamp is 05.27 which is last saturday (6 days before) so that might not be the case, yesterday it worked perfectly fine. I perodically make an image of my system drive, does anyone know which files i should restore to get my passwords back?

Hello, After removing obsolete entry in the password manager for smtp.office365.com, THB (v 102.11) do not prompt to re-enter a password for the SMTP entry. I deleted the complete account for outlook and re-created it. But even after that, only an entry for the IMAP server is recreated in the password manager. Consequence: I am unable to send an email from this email account. How to force THB to recreate an entry for the smtp.office365.com server in the passwords DB?
