This setting is not normally available in account settings, but it will show up as 'Password, original method (insecure)' if it is changed in the config editor. This means that AUTH PLAIN is not sent anymore and AUTH LOGIN is used directly. ServerX where X is a number coresponding to the account created internaly.Īlso you can change it in the prefs.js file directly. If this fails, it them tries to use AUTH LOGIN but Gmail refuses to respond after the first AUTH PLAIN error. It seems the problem is that Thunderbird sends AUTH PLAIN (a base64 encoded user+password) even if the server does not support it. Username: recent: (replaced for real one, of course) Since its not recommended to multi-user environment without the 'recent:', I ask you guys to help me find the problem. If I remove the 'recent:', authentication works and the emails are downloaded, but the eldest first. Mail server responded: Too many commands before auth xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' (the 'x' are a random code) Mail server responded: Username and password not accepted.' Last week, everything was working fine, until friday, when it starts to show this message: I have 20 computers with Thunderbird that receive the same email via POP3, in 'recent mode'. I'm trying to understand what's going on all day long, but my clues are barely none.
