Thunderbird Stopped Working, and Password Change
Hello, All
I need major help, please.
I am getting the attached messages when trying to send an email. Thunderbird worked perfectly yesterday morning, but then would not send any emails. I get emails, but cannot send from my 2 accounts.
I am on the latest version of Thunderbird, Supernova 115.10.1
Also, I cannot find out where to change my password for the accounts, because at times I need to fill in a password. I can't find it.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best, Leslie

I am getting the following messages when trying to use Thunderbird 115.10.01.
The second one just keeps saying sending and never does.
Please help
Please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡, then select Help > More Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.
Also, I cannot find out where to change my password for the accounts
You'll have to login to your account via webmail, and change the account password on the server.

You're having a problem with Thunderbird. You posted to a Thunderbird support forum. Yet you're posting your Firefox Troubleshooting Information here. WTF?
Is this what you need? Sorry about the other post.

You appear to be using the newly authored oAuth authentication for Comcast.
oAuth starts it's initial authentication as a web page which prompts you to authorize thunderbird to access your email among other things. We see oAuth authentication requests frequently reported here as "annoying popups"
At the completion of the oAuth authentication process there is a step where the completed "transaction" for want of a better word with the authorization code is redirected to your local computer. This redirection occurs using the localhost adapter. Apparently yours is not available.
The most likely cause of this problem in my opinion will be
Antivirus: Cloudeight/Emsisoft
I know nothing of the product, but antivirus products are by far the most common problems when connectivity is in question as here. They are also prone to blocking access to the localhost adapter because it was used for malware once about 25 years ago. Interestingly it was the original cause of Comcast blocking port 25 to send mail, it was such an issue with their customers.
There are other causes, not the least of which are having certain developer tools and web tools (Apache et. al.) that actively monitor connections to localhost and respond to them. There are some troubleshooting step of oAuth in this article on Googles conversion to oAuth. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20
Thanks for your reply.
I have been using Emsisoft for many years and have never had a problem. I did turn it off and then tried to use Thunderbird but that didn't work.
My program had worked and then suddenly stopped. I had changed nothing on the computer. Thunderbird had been working for years with absolutely no issues.
I also have OE Classic installed, and that stopped working at the same time.
I don't know what Apache is.
I have checked my settings numerous times, and all are set up correctly.
I will check out the article you sent me, but I have a feeling that oAuth has nothing to do with it
I did check out the article, and everything is set correctly.
For us to investigate this issue, we will need some more information.
- Open the menu
> Help > Troubleshooting Information, then click Copy text to Clipboard.
- Go to https://pastebin.mozilla.org/, paste the clipboard by right clicking in the large text area, select paste from the menu, change the retention period to expire in 28 days, use the Paste Snippet button to create a page containing your info, then copy the resulting URL (address) of the page created.
- Open a reply to this post, and paste the URL to your troubleshooting information you just copied.
- Please also provide results for the following test on your system
- Does Thunderbird work as expected in Thunderbird troubleshooting mode?
- Does Thunderbird work as expected with your OS started in safe mode with Networking. Instructions for each operating system: Windows 10/11, Windows 8, Windows 7, OSX
I sure hope I did this correctly. Thunderbird does not work in troubleshooting mode.
Matt, was the link the correct one? Could you figure out why the heck Thunderbird isn't working?
Frantically waiting for you response.
