Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi all,

Thunderbird keeps asking for authentication for account/server that is no longer in use or visible in account settings. I have tried to remove every trace of the account but the modal with authentication request keeps popping up.

At the same time a folder keeps getting created with the email mbox titled Retreat 2023_152728082023export. Some backstory, I use Thunderbird as my main mail client but sometimes use it to transfer emails from one webhost to another for clients.

I use the add-on for exports for this. However, this client transfer has been finished a while ago. The plugin for exports has been uninstalled and the account is not listed in the account settings page. Are there any other locations I need to check/remove the account from?

All help would be appreciated as currently I get this notification multiple times per hour and on every open.

Thanks in advance!

I am using the New Calendar button, entering my webdav URL (this is the same URL in use by other accounts, successfully so I know it is correct)

Following the password prompt (known password, tested via another login page to the same service, immediately prior to confirm it is correct)

"Create New Calendar" dialog has found my calendar, displays it in the list, but it is greyed out.

Why can Thunderbird not add this calendar if it found it? There is no feedback that I can see that disqualifies it?

Authentication method :OAuth2 My Microsoft outlook account settings is correct, but the Thunderbird keeps prompting me to enter credentials, Could I have this reason and how can I resolve this issue. Thanks.

I have an Outlook account and it's arif_dulger10@hotmail.com and I added this one to Thunderbird without a problem but I also have a Gmail account and it's arif_dulger10@hotmail.com yes this is a Gmail account and I'm having problem while trying to add it to Thunderbird. How do I add this Gmail account to Thunderbird?

I just updated to Nebula and all of my inbox emails (from gmail) have disappeared.

All of the other folders are intact, including the sent folder. I also have another email account in this client (my work email) and these are also fine. It's only affected my gmail inbox messages.

I'm using this email for job applications currently so would really appreciate help figuring out how I recover my emails. Thank you!

Hallo, leider ruft Thunderbird alle Microsoft Mailadressen nicht mehr ab und behauptet die Passwörter wären falsch. Im Browser funktionieren die PW aber. Das Problem trat nicht direkt nach der Sicherheitsumstellung ab 16.09.24 von Microsoft auf da hatte ich das empfohlenen Update von Thunderbird gemacht und es funktionierte alles. Nach einem neuerlichen Update ist dieses Problem aufgetreten. Ich bitte höfflich um Unterstützung. Vielen herzlichen Dank. MfG S.Dietsch

I have an existing account (email name) that is being moved to a different server.

The new server uses a different security setting and also needs a different user name in the account settings field.

However, I can't change more than one of these things at a time because with each value added to a field, thunderbird insists on a restart, so I can never enter a consistent set. Each time, Thunderbird detects that the settings don't work and resets everything.

I tried making another account, but after working for a while that seems to have evaporated on me.

In the meantime, I'm not able to get to my mail.
