Pop up message: "Mozilla Thunderbird ESR Thunderbird Alert from account (my email address): Temporarily blacklisted IP Address - try again later" And the reason I do not believe it is a Comcast problem is that the message always contains the Thunderbird logo. Also if I avoid using my Thunderbird app and go directly to Comcast's website, I am able to log-in and read my emails with no problem. That tells me it is a Thunderbird/Mozilla problem. I've already tried changing the password to no avail. What else can I do?

In the old Thunderbird version, I could click on GO TO and select NEXT UNREAD MESSAGE and it would take me to the next unread e-mail. That option appears to be gone now. How can i do that with the new version?

Hi, after an update, i have the newest version of Thunderbird installed. Upon starting, it says: "Unable to use profile when you launch an older version of Thunderbird." I cannot start the program. But it is the newest version... What can I do? Thanks Lukas

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

Greetngs to all,

                         I'm using Thunderbird Version 128.2.0esr with Windows 11.

I have clicked on View/Folder/Unified Folders but none og my IMAP accounts are listed.

Can anyone please advuise how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

             Scott

Your instructions for changing outgoing server settings for Microsoft SMTP server require changing authentication method to OAuth2. Unfortunately this doesn't appear in the drop down menu. I only have No authentication, Norman password, encrypted password, Kerberos/GSSAPI, NTLM. Which of these should I chose instead or how can I get the correct setting to show? Security settings for incoming server settings are fine (ie. OAuth2 can be selected).

I tried changing the authentication method to OAUTH2 for my Outlook live mail account (POP). For that, I had to change the server name to office365.com. After restarting Thunderbird, I was able to download new messages but all the old messages already stored in Thunderbird disappeared, even though Thunderbird still shows the same old Local Directory as being used.

How do I change the authentication to OAUTH2 & get my old messages back?

If I delete & again create the Outlook live account, would it effect my old mails/filters ?

Microsoft are again complaining about normal password login.

Today I have updated to Version 128.2.0esr (64-bit)

I have set outgoing server to StartTLS and OAuth2 and it is fine.

When i set OAuth2 in server settings and try to retrieve mail i get "Host contacted, sending login............" and it sticks at that point with no error messages from Thunderbird or Microsoft.

If i revert to "Normal Password" it is fine.

When microsoft first complained i turned on two step authorisation and the used their option (cannot remember what it was called now) to create a login password/key for thunderbird so that it would still work for "Normal Password" setting

How do we get round Microsoft's obstacles???>

What do I need to do to make my hotmail.com accounts comply with Modern Authentication requirements before September 16/2024 to maintain email access?

I was using Thunderbird for Windows 10 normally for many months. Recently, whenever I launch the app it immediately freezes, and I have to force quit the application. Reinstalling the app does not fix the issue. I haven't tried deleting my profiles yet, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Jeg har problemer med login på microsofts server, så jeg sender en kopi af mailen fra dem. Hilsen Karlo Kristensen, pindsvinekrattet@hotmail.com

Den 16. september 2024 vil apps, der bruger mindre sikker logon-teknologi, ikke længere kunne få adgang til din mail.

Sikkerheden for dine oplysninger har meget høj prioritet for Microsoft. For at hjælpe med at holde din konto sikker vil Microsoft ikke længere understøtte brugen af mail- og kalenderapps fra tredjepart, som beder om at logge på med kun brugernavnet og adgangskoden for din Microsoft-konto. For at holde dig mere sikker skal du bruge en mail- eller kalenderapp, som understøtter Microsofts moderne godkendelsesmetoder. Hvis du ikke foretager dig noget, vil dine mailapps fra tredjepart ikke længere kunne få adgang til din Outlook.com-, Hotmail- eller Live.com-mailadresse fra den 16. september 2024.

Hvad skal du gøre?

Hvis du modtager denne mail, bruger du i øjeblikket en mail- eller kalenderapp, der bruger en mindre sikker godkendelsesmetode til at oprette forbindelse til din Outlook.com-mailkonto. Du skal opgradere din mail- og kalenderapp fra tredjepart til en version, der understøtter moderne godkendelsesmetoder.

Microsoft tilbyder gratis versioner af Outlook til dine pc'er, Macs, iOS- og Android-enheder, som nemt kan downloades og forbindes til din mailkonto. Når du bruger en opdateret version af en Outlook-app, kan du være sikker på, at du opretter forbindelse på den mest sikre måde.

Hvordan kan du konfigurere din Gmail, Apple Mail eller andre mailapps fra tredjepart?

Forskelle ikke-Microsoft-apps vil have deres egne trin til at oprette forbindelse til din Outlook.com-mailkonto ved hjælp af moderne godkendelsesmetoder. Se vores hjælpeartikel – Moderne godkendelsesmetoder er nu påkrævet for fortsat at synkronisere Outlook-mail i ikke-Microsoft-mailapps. Det kan dog være nødvendigt at kontakte udvikleren af disse apps for at få vejledning. I mange tilfælde kan du konfigurere den pågældende app til at bruge moderne godkendelsesmetoder ved blot at fjerne din konto og tilføje den igen med den nyeste version af appen.

On Friday 24/09/06, I deleted my thunderbird-profile-file without immediately realizing it. I realized it on Monday 24/09/07, by opening the program and getting an error message. A new profile-file was immediately initialized by the program and also a program-update was made to version 128.2.0esr (32-Bit)). Unfortunately, I do not know the version, I used before the update Using your instructions from the Mozilla knowledge-base, I was able to restore the file-situation, as it was before my mistake killing my profile. Although trying now for three days getting the old data (inbox, sent mails, address book) in the new profile by importing or over writing I didn't have any success. Trying to import old profile-data by the program-tool results in an error message. When overwriting the existing files with the old ones, I get new folders, but they were all empty. After long time of research in your knowledge-base, trying mentioned solutions without success, I suppose that it is no more a question of recreating a knew profile but a question of the program-update made on Monday and a data conflict between the two program versions. I Think the new version cannot handle with the old data. I would like to install the version I used before the update, but do not know whether which version it was nor where I could find an old program-version? Or is there a possibility to manage old data with the new version, and I do not know it? Perhaps you can reconstruct the old program-version by seeing the content in the folders of my old profile-file appended below (explorer screen shot) I would be grateful if You could help me retrieving my old data (Inbox, sent etc.).

Please advise how I can get get the correct IMAP server address. I need it for Google Data Migration .

I am migrating .mbox file to my new google workspace

I have tried entering server name under server settings(imap.gmail.com) but unfortunately that does not seem to work.

9-4-2024--For months the filters for my messages have not ALL worked right. Some of the older ones may work. The new filters disappear. I'm thinking it is because the Create Filter page does not display all the way to the bottom of the page so I can see and click ok to save it. Please fix this so the Create Filter page will RESIZE so I can save the filters I create. Mozilla Thunderbird programmers--Can't you write a program better than this?? Why can't you fix a problem that has been there for months maybe a year? Whatever is causing the problem please fix it.

I can't seem to update my Thunderbird mailing lists. I know how to do it, and I go through all the steps to add an address, click "OK" but the mailing list remains unchanged. And when I try to create a whole new mailing list, it lets me do it--that is, create the mailing list--but there are no addresses in it. I attach a couple of screen shots:

First, before I hit OK. Second, after I hit OK.

This has been going on for at least a few months. I thought an update would help but it didn't. Please advise how to fix this problem.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thunderbird keeps crashing. That is about all that I can tell you. It started this morning (/when I got to work I fist noticed it). I have not used any add ons. I have been submitting crash reports. Crash data avaiable on request. I uninstalled and re installed, same result; crashes immediately on start up.

Please assist.

Thank you

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks
