Thunderbird 3 in 11.3

http://forums.opensuse.org – I did an upgrade from 11.1 -> 11.3 and I find myself locked out of Thunderbird. I was hoping I could downgrade to Thunderbird 2.x in 11.3 but that doesn't seem possible. I just don't get the double-passwords needed for the new Thunderbird. Is it really as hard as I'm making it? It's asking for a password that I never set. Help! Patti (Distributions)

Stories similar to Thunderbird 3 in 11.3

I'm using thunderbird-11 on ubuntu 12.04. Recently after an update suddenly thunderbird is no longer able to recognize my password and keeps asking for it with the message "login failed - retry". I know my password is correct because my calendar in thunderbird which uses the same password and my webmail is able to take that password.

Thunderbird 2 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hello,

I have to configure thunderbird with lightning addon. From what I read, lightning 0.9 no longer supports thunderbird 3 (or vice versa). Therefore, I would like to install thunderbird 2. I've tried several ways, but always I get the 3.0 or 3.0b version. Can anybody help me instal thunderbird 2 ? Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Regards

I have experienced 2-3 unexplained lockup over last 10 days.

Today, I had a random lockup (no mouse, keyboard response, 100% CPU). But, when I finally switched (Ctrl-Alt-F1) to command line (it took several minutes) it told me that thunderbird-bin had locked a CPU.

I ran this to resolve:

pidof thunderbird-bin sudo kill ####

However, after saving other work, I tried restarting Thunderbird.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 and Thunderbird 13.0.1.

I had 2 accounts earlier in Thunderbird: a..@i..net s..@c..com

I also had another account on SeaMonkey: a..@i..com which I imported into Thunderbird.

Now the account order I want is: a..@i..com a..@i..net s..@c..com

but it shows: a..@i..net s..@c..com a..@i..com

I couldn't find any option in Thunderbird to sort them as I want.

Last week, Mozilla released Thunderbird 5 Beta 1. Thunderbird is a very popular email client from Mozilla, the organization behind Firefox browser.

Currently Thunderbird has its own password manager, but it offers two possibilities: either you don't encrypt the password stored, or you use another password to encrypt the actual one for e-mail. This sounds quite useless to me, so I would prefer to store Thunderbird passwords in GNOME keyring. Hope this is possible.

Thunderbird 16 and Lightning 32 weeks 3 days ago

I have just upgraded from Thunderbird 15 to 16 and then found that Lightning 1.7 is not compatible with Thunderbird 16, leaving me without a calendar.

What are my options?

Should I try and go back to Thunderbird 15 or is there someway of finding a version of Lightning that is compatible with Thunderbird 16?

I recently did a fresh install to upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04. I have thunderbird 14.0

Thunderbird isn't letting me move an email to a folder by dragging it. How do I turn this [back] on? Or is this a bug?

A whopping two years at its second major release, Mozilla's popular desktop email client Thunderbird is now available as the new and improved Thunderbird 3.0, and there's a lot to love in the new Thunderbird.
