Windows 10: Email error Thunderbird/Gmail

Hi.


Email works fine.


Getting an error (lower right corner) occasionally that says "Authentication Error:" then it quickly disappears (too fast to read).

1. Can I keep it on the screen?
2. Dell laptop that has worked fine almost a year.
3. No Pause button.

Any fix?


Thanks.

:)

 

Mozilla Leaves Thunderbird

Outlook - Freeserve mail setup | Email settings

What Are the Gmail SMTP Server Settings?
Gmail SMTP
Gmail POP3 Settings

• Gmail POP server address: pop.gmail.com
• Gmail POP user name: Your full Gmail address (example@gmail.com, for example)
• Gmail POP password: Your Gmail password
  • ​If you have enabled Gmail 2-step authentication, use an application-specific Gmail password.

• Gmail POP port: 995
• Gmail POP TLS/SSL required: yes

- I just did a couple of general internet searches for you.

I'm not sure that you can transfer emails from one server to another unless you have some offer to do that.

Consider using an email client such as Thunderbird, which can receive and store emails on your PC. I have emails going back many years.

(Of course, also back up your PC!)

 

Mozilla Thunderbird Problem

I've started using this today however ive come across a problem.

When i set up the account for my gmail account, i was able to select an option which meant that whhen emails were downloaded, the original email would remain on the gmail server and could not be deleted through thunderbird itself.

I then proceeded to set up the same thing for yahoo. However, when thunderbird downloads the emails, they all disappear from the yahoo inbox. I was wondering how i could prevent this and also how to get all my emails back from my hard drive to the yahoo server.

thx
