1919896 - Problem with Thunderbird after upgrading to 128.2.2esr in Windows 10.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1919695

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[marolberd]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:130.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/130.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Auto upgraded to Thunderbird 128.2.2esr in Windows 10 Pro.
• As next tried to reinstall Thunderbird from scratch.
• I did restart my computer after each upgrade/reinstall.
• FYI: my system (Win 10 Pro) is clean from viruses/malwares etc, it's used exclusively for my work (RDBMS development), no social media nor games are installed.

Actual results:

After this upgrade Thunderbird stuck on "Sending login Information", or "checking for new email features", or I don;t see any message in the bottom status bar and the blue color bar is on 100% doing nothing.
I don't see new messages, nor errors.

• Thunderbird is not complaining about logging problems to my email accounts (I have 7 different account with Yahoo, Gmail and MS 365).
• I didn't have these problems before upgrading to 128.2.2esr.
• I have another workstation with Debian 12 and Thunderbird is working fine, but it's version 115.5.0(64 bit).

Expected results:

Thunderbird should

Are you using oauth2? Possibly the same as bug 1919695

Comment 3

[marolberd]

Yes, I do. Few months (maybe a year) ago all my accounts have been changed to oauth2 authentication, it was mandatory at the time.
I didn't make any changes in settings, only approved the automated update to 128.2.2ers.
I tried to uninstall Thunderbird and installing again using downloaded "Thunderbird Setup 128.2.2esr.exe". I did reboot my computer after removing and after installing Thunderbird.

Can you reinstall 128.2.1esr?

Comment 5

[marolberd]

When I terminate Thunderbird a zombie thread is still running. I did kill it and tried again (this process was repeated probably >10 times).
My last try hands on "Checking mail server capabilities" (message in the bottom status bar).

Thanks Corey, it did work. After downgrading to 128.2.1esr it's working as expected.
I'm going to mark this thread as duplicate with 1919695.
