Hello Community,

Some years ago I saw a solution to install a second Thunderbird-Instance
in a seperate folder (I do not mean the solution as a subfolder as described
here: https://portableapps.com/support/thunderbird_portable#local_profile
and the third topic "Using a Second (or Third) Profile with Thunderbird Portable"
cause this is an installation in a subfolder of ThundrbirdPortable.

Thunderbird 148.0 - AOL sign in issues

Submitted by sl23 on March 9, 2026 - 10:20am

Hi, Since the last update, TB loads and opens ok, but it opens a separate window to the AOL sign-in page. I can tick the box to stay signed in, but clicking the Next button does nothing.

The only way to proceed is to close the window, which then opens a second window same as the first. Closing this does nothing, ie, no sign in is made. So basically, I cannot access my AOL mail account via TB. Going into firefox and signing in works fine. I also cannot send emails as the sign-in process fails.

Is this a TB issue or an AOL security one?

Problem creating new account

Submitted by MRWORNAX on October 5, 2025 - 11:35am

Hi,
Environment: Windows 11, 64Bit

I have a problem creating an account. After entering Name and EMail-Adress, a window with turning circle appears and nothing happens anymore.
I have tried other accounts and they immediately were created. What could be the problem here? There is no error-message.
Is there a possibility to create manually an account?

Thanks for your support
GB
