Hi all: The following question is from Zendesk. I am adding it here so we can have the benefit of a public discussion with our awesome Thunderbird Support Community.

tl;dr Try [[Troubleshoot Mode Thunderbird|Thunderbird Troubleshoot mode|] and see if that helps. Also try disabling all 3rd party software (e.g.anti-virus, firewalls, etc). If it is a password issue, please ask your email provider e.g. Optus or gmail to reset the password for you. Double check your Optus settings at: https://www.optus.com.au/support/answer?id=1434 and double check your gmail settings: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail

We've found over the years that troubleshooting is often difficult. It would probably speed things up if you could find somebody who's more technical in your community to help you in real life.

If the tl;dr doesn't help, please give us more troubleshooting details (without this level of detail we can't help you further):

  1. Please let us know your email provider, is it gmail, optus or both?
  2. Please let us know what operating system e.g. macOS Ventura, Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04
  3. Please let us know what 3rd party software like add-ons, anti-virus or firewalls you are using (and please try disabling them and see if that helps)
  4. Finally, please let us know what steps you followed exactly, what you expected and what actually happened.
