Problem with adding gmail account to Thunderbird

In an existing Thunderbird installation I added a gmail account. During this process when I was invited to enter a password I left the password blank because I did not want a password. When I go to access my gmail mail I get prompted for a password. If I don't enter a password or hit "cancel" nothing seems to happen. I am not receiving any test emails into the gmail account within Thunderbird.

Manual configuration of your Settings like POP3/IMAP/SMTP and Port No
Try it Manually

Need password to verify the email Address, but you can make secure asking password while sending an email.

  • Problem with multiple gmail accounts. If I open two accounts in different tabs, Firefox makes them both the same, effectively closing one of them. I would rather have both gmail accounts open at the same time.

    I belong to a chorus of 100+ singers. A lot of us use gmail for our personal email. We have a google site where we share information. We log into that site as [email protected] I would like to open the chorus site in a new tab, leaving the original tab still logged in to my personal gmail account. Currently, my original tab will also get logged into the chorus account, and I will be logged out of my personal account. Why does information in one tab disturb the information in another tab? I can keep both accounts logged in if I log into one with firefox and the other in internet explorer. But I'd rather just do it with a tab, not a whole second browser.

    You can look at one of these if you want to sign on with different identities at the same time:
    * CookiePie: http://www.nektra.com/oss/firefox/extensions/cookiepie/
    * CookieSwap: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/3255
    * Multifox: http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/ - Different logins at the same time

  • I have the opposite problem with my gmail account.  It never shows unread email.  I had a student say she sent a paper to my email account; it never showed as unread.  When I opened the gmail, there it was.  I have checked all settings.

    I am using OS X.9.3.  I have tried everything and nothing seems to work.  I am concerned that I will miss a student email/

    Log into your Gmail account from a browser on your computer.  Delete or move the email(s) with the large photo attachments.  Try to clean up any other emails by moving out as many as you can from the inbox to other folders.  Delete any unnecessary emails/empty trash.  Once you've done that, try to open the Gmail app again.  If still no go, delete the Gmail app & then redownload it from the app store.  Now sign back in to see if the issue is fixed.
    Hope this helps!

  • HT6030 hello I did the mavericks update 10.9.2 but I still have problems with my gmail accounts ... impossible receive and send messages! what can I do please ?.... thanks

    Thanks to help me please

    Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
    Problem solved.
    In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
    "If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
    The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
    Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
    Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
    So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
    Gratefully,
    tupester

  • Thunderbird stuck at 'checking password' when adding gmail account

    Hi
    I successfully added my gmail account to thunderbird on my windows pc but I'm not able to do so on arch.
    On the windows pc I used the default setting thunderbird proposed, I tried the same on arch but without success...
    The setup is stuck on 'checking password...'
    Any advice?

    I cannot believe the swiftness of your the help on this forum, within seconds you guys fixed the problem, and the account was added with no further issues. The people on this forum rock!!!!!
    I am now beginning to suspect it indeed had to do with that first lot of wrong passwords.

  • I have a problem with Mail on my Macbook Pro. It is configurated with a gmail account, and now I can't access the mail. Is it possible to reboot the account or..? Please help:)

    The question mark means the computer cannot find a bootable volumes so can;t do anything, That, combined with annoying sounds, strongly suggests a failed hard drive.
    You can ask a "genius" at an Apple Rtail Store to test it but I'm pretty sure the drive is kaput. I'm hoping you had your data backed up.

  • Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    Had problem with my hotmail account and had to change my password. Ever since then, my default e-mail account set up to hotmail doesn't work...it sends from gmail. How can I correct that?

    On your iPhone you need to change your password in 2 places:
    - Incoming Mail Server and
    - Outgoing Mail Server
    To get to the password entry for the Outgoing Mail Server you have to tap on cell smtp.live.com and again on the second view.

  • I have tried to add a NEW GMAIL Account into Thunderbird and after i use the automatic configuration finder and Password confirmation, it does not display

    I tried to set up a NEW Gmail account in Thunderbird But it will not display eventhough it confirms that the configuration is correct and that the password is Valid. Please NOTE that i previously was able to set up the email account correctly in Thunderbird but was encountering some errors and i therefore deleted it using the Account Actions menu.
    I have repeated this action probably probably 5 or 6 times and I still cannot see the new email account in Thunderbird. I can only see my other Gmail Account
    Would appreciate someone sharing with me a step by step answer to help me fix this problem as I have no clue

    Sounds like the Google Less Secure Application situation. Go to gmail and read what they have to say about this.
    FYI: Deleting and reinstalling accounts or Thunderbird software is not the best way to solve problems. It usually never solves a thing and can cause more issues as you are seeing. It is best to troubleshoot what you have and fix those issues.

  • Mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select

    mail with multiple gmail accounts sending messages from wrong email, other than the one i select:
    i'm using mail on osx 10.7 with multiple gmail accounts. when i create an email, i check to be sure i'm sending/replying from the correct account. after i send it, somehow it actually sends it from a different account, other than the one i've selected "from." this is evidenced by the reply email i receive. how can i fix this?
    in preferences, i have "send new messages from : account of selected mailbox"

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Mail ▹ Preferences...
    The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
              Send new messages from:
    choose
              Account of selected mailbox
    Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
    If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
    In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
              Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
    If there's only one server in the menu, select
              Edit SMTP Server List...
    and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
    Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
              Card ▹ Make This My Card
    from the menu bar.

  • How come I can't access Facebook with my gmail account?

    Along with a couple other sites, I can't access Facebook with my gmail account. I'm on a mac, and even if I use different browsers (safari and google chrome), the page never opens. It consistently says "the connection was interrupted." I've tried everything, including allowing all cookies, deleting cookies, changing firewall settings, etc. However, it's not a problem on my Parallels (on the same computer). The weird thing is my friends with hotmail or yahoo facebook accounts can access the site. Help!

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to follow

    When I flag an email with my gmail account using Apple's Mail App how do I flag and set a reminder that at a specific to time to follow up with that email ?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.
