I have three e-mail accounts. By some mysteripous reason TB sets the first one as default. Trying to change is no avail. Even though I select the correct standard account in settings TB refuses to make the change. Would appreciate some advice. /Leif Arvidsson

I have Thunderbird 128.4.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Home (64 bit). I want to add a second email account. To do this, I used File> New> Email Account. I entered the email address and password. TB found and entered a server configuration. The new email address appears in the Folder List but has only an Inbox folder after it. The other folders (Sent, Junk, Trash) are missing. Test messages show the new address in TB will send a message correctly except it hangs trying to save the sent message. The new address is unable to receive a message. Please advise how to get the new email account (outlook.com) set up in Thunderbird. Thank you.

I am a brand new user....for 2 days. Converting from Outlook.

How do I import my kids schedules from GameChanger and Sports Engine? I'm trying to add a new account, then I put the link provided by each platform, and then it asks me for a password. I have no idea what password it's asking me to provide?

I really need these calendars to sync in order for this to be the place for my life to be organized!

Additionally, my daughter's volleyball team created a Google Calendar and shared it with us. How do I sync that?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I like the new Thunderbird app for Android and the ability to import settings from the desktop version. But I wonder -- is the reverse possible? Can I import the same accounts from the Android version to a desktop instance?

I, and similar to other friends I have introduced to Thunderbird, are long time users of this exccellent email app. As a resut, we have tried multiple times to donate to yourselves as we value the service you provide, but are unable to do so due to the additional, you might call them security checks, but we call them hassle when they fail to work due to either some bug OR missing database information. What we find is that your address check / verification is incorrect as it may be locked to an incorrect Eircode database (in the case of Ireland). As a result, it does not allow us Irish to donate to you or your service.

I was having trouble adding my NYU email account to Thunderbird and browsing the forums I found this post with my exact same issue.

I just wanted to open a thread because I found a solution to my problem by following one the comments in the original post.

The configuration you should use to configure the account should be as follows (as of Nov. 2024),

Incoming server: imap.gmail.com on port 993 with SSL/TLS using OAuth2 Incoming server username: your NetID without the trailing "@nyu.edu".

Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com on port 465 with SSL/TLS using OAuth2 Outcoming server username: your NetID (as before)

Once you input this configuration you will be asked to log-in through Google, and from there on everything should work as intended.

Hope this wil be useful to someone.
