Comments, Suggestions & Questions / Best Email Program on ArcaOS
« on: January 11, 2025, 03:42:16 pm »
Hi everyone, I am running ArcaOS 5.1 on bare metal (IBM Thinkpad T43) and things are working well for the most part but I am really struggling to get any of my emails working.

For awhile now I have only used outlook on Thunderbird 45.8.0 in ArcaOS with no issues but for the last few months it wont accept my password. This password works on any other computer/cell phone I have and I have checked a dozen times in Thunderbird. I use Thunderbird on my Windows machine and it works there fine.

I also have email address in gmail and yahoo I would love to use in one program.

Does anyone have suggestions on an email program in AcraOS I can use? I have not used PMMail forever, maybe that would work? I don't know =/

Also, I tried using the web based apps for the emails (I really don't want to) but they all failed because they say Firefox is too old to use.

Anyways, I am open to try any email apps out there, let me know what works for you!

Web applications / Thunderbird - ArcaOS 5.1
« on: February 08, 2024, 04:55:44 pm »
Hi everyone!

I have installed AcraOS 5.1 a few weeks ago and its been rock solid for the most part.

One Issue I have is with the stock install of Thunderbird (which I think is the newest version - Version 45.8.0).

I have three main email address I would like to pull from: Outlook, Yahoo, and Google.

Oddly enough, my MS outlook is the only one that works perfectly.

Google Email - I set it up in Thunderbird with no problem and then pops a new screen (website) to log in to verify my info, I do and then have to verify on my phone (which I do). Then in the browser I have to hit allow.

From here, it goes back to Thunderbird and it sits there checking password FOREVER. I know its the right password and I even tried to put the wrong one in and when I do that, it immediately says its wrong. So I think its stuck somehow.

Yahoo email - I fill out the settings in Thunderbird to setup the email and the second I hit continue on the Mail Account Setup window crashes immesdaiatley.

I just want to see if other people are having  this issue or it works fine for you, maybe there are additional settings I need to play with?

Thanks!
