Thunderbird is offered free and always has been. That image is just a reminder that Thunderbird is dependent on the generosity of its users. If you do not wish to be reminded of that, just go to settings>general and untick the start page.

Run Windows in safe mode to bypass Norton and the VPN at startup. If you keep Norton in Windows normal mode, you'll have to disable its scanning of the TB profile and also scanning of secure connections. Things would be a lot simpler if you replaced Norton with Windows Security.

It's usually due to a corrupted file. Help/Troubleshooting Info, Profile Folder, Open Folder, close TB, delete or rename session.json, restart TB a few times and see if tabs open at exit are open at next restart.

I had this problem too as I had search results showing in tabs that disappeared on exit. I eventually realised that these aren't saved, it is only open email tabs that are saved. If session.json is examined with a plain text editor you can see what tabs are in there - only those containing open emails.

- first, make sure that you accept cookies at settings>privacy&security - in creating the account, I suggest NOT entering password during setup, but wait until prompted for it by Google.

Thanks David, This was the solution. I first de-installed both VPN's as it looks one was also interfering. But NOT inputting password was 100% the problem solver, as then Google pop up asked for 2nd authentication and asking to confirm access to Gmail. After both was done, I'm back connected and in business. Thanks so very much.

I use insert link all the time and it will work great for weeks and then randomly freezes. I have read so many threads about Band-Aid solutions for this as it seems to be a well established problem - so come one TB- solve it so it doesn't happen!! Anyway these are the solutions that have worked best for me

  1. Use the esc key when your email freezes - this unfreezes the email instead of having to force close thunderbird - and then you can chose to paste the http link instead of insert.
  2. If you have two screens - move your email to the opposite screen and try again - I found that the link screen dialogue box seems to have a preferred space between itself and the email (so incongruous)
  3. Click Alt+spacebar to open the move dialogue box which allows you to move the email and sometime reset the location of the link dialogue box
  4. Turn off hardware acceleration in settings general (at the bottom)
  5. close thunderbird and open in safe mode by holding shift whist clicking TB. at the prompt: 'Reset toolbars & controls', 'Make changes & restart'.

But this should not be an ongoing problem - its super annoying and needs to be addressed

Thunderbird stopped connecting to our Gmail account. All authentication configs incl. Oauth2 are unchanged. Nonetheless, first SMTP stopped working and get time outs, now IMAP is dead too.

This is getting completely ridicolous! First SMPT failed to connect, than IMAP stopped working with our years old perfect working OAuth2 config. So we deleted in the end the program. re-installed the latest version of Thunderbird and tried to reconnect our Gmail account with our user/password (both 1000% correct!!), all on Oauth2 according to your help, but nothing works, simply getting error message that either config, user or password are incorrect.
