I don't know what is causing it.  Do you have more than one account?  If so, you need to turn off the setting for all accounts individually.

You said this just started happening.  Brian spoke of possible corruption of the program and that could be.  You may want to uninstall and install it again as he suggests.  Something detrimental evidently happened since you didn't have this behavior before.

Even if you solve the problem, you may still want to consider the following:
One thing I encourage people to do is use Thunderbird portable. You can keep your installed version and try the portable version so you will have no delay or interruption in receiving e-mail.

The reasons I say that people should use the portable version are that you can move the program to any machine you want and have all your e-mail and settings, except that I don't know if you will have message rules transferred.
You can run it from something like a thumb drive if you are using a machine that isn't yours and that you don't have the program on.  And you can keep a backup copy so that if the program becomes corrupted, you can simply delete it and copy the backup copy to the location where you usually have the program.  To keep the backup copy current, you can delete the backup when you want and copy the one you are using to that location again.  This will preserve your e-mail and any changes you have made to the program, such as settings changes and probably add-ons as well.

You won't have to trouble shoot problems anymore that arise from corruption of the program.  You can just replace it by deleting it and copying the backup copy to the location you run the program from.
Although I use the Brave browser for most of my browsing, I use Firefox portable off and on and I use the portable version for the same reasons.

I use portable versions of programs where they either do everything the installed version does or where the portable version does the things I want it to do.

Hey Gene,

First of all, thank you as always. I perform the step by step method
that you gave. Unfortunately, I'm still getting this message from the
Tbird.

If you have any other ideas, I've got an open ear.

Here is how you do it.
New main steps start on new lines.
I'll go into more detail if you need me to about how to find things.
Open tools with alt t.
Type s to open the account settings dialog.
Down arrow to junk settings.
Tab a few times until you get to Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account.
Uncheckit with the space bar.

I use portable versions of programs where they do the same things as the nonportable versions or if they do what I want even if they don't do everything.

Hi to all.  This is an enquiry on behalf of a friend as I don't use a kindle.

 

My friend has an old Kindle, 9 years old.  She is able to download books from the kindle store and books she gets from other sources she can upload to her kindle after converting the book to the Kindle format.

 

She has entertained getting a new up-to-date kindle but when she told her daughter her plans her daughter discouraged her from doing so as the "newer" kindles no longer allow you to upload third party books to the device and you can only use Kindle books purchased from Amazon.

 

Is this true?  are there any current Kindle devices that allow the upload of third party eBooks?  If it is possible, which model is it and how simple or complicated is the process?  If anybody knows the answer to these questions I look forward to hearing from you.  Walter.

Frank, a while back I ran across the need to use a terminal program
and looked at a few of them. The most accessible one to me seemed to
be Tera Term which is the one I used for that project. My needs were
simple so my knowledge of the program is quite shallow but you can
give it a try and see if it works for you. I don't have the link but a
Google search will find it.





Warmest regards

Rick, thanks for this info. Someone on a Facebook group acquired a
used Blazie Engineering Type 'n Speak and was asking about what could
be used to facilitate file transfers to and from the device. Aside
from Blazie's proprietary software many of us used terminal programs
such as Procomm, Telix and Commo but these likely wouldn't be
reasonable options in a Windows 10 environment. I was hoping to find
an accessible terminal program to recommend to her. If I feel
motivated to do it I may fire up my Bns or Braille Lite to see if Terraterm can communicate with it.

Don’t believe so as neither of those addresses are my Apple ID and the current password for my Apple ID is different than for those email addresses.

Well, do you know what the current password is for those addresses?   If so, there's zero risk in changing your Apple ID password and seeing if you suddenly cannot access your e-mail, as that would clearly indicate that the Apple ID password is "the master".

It is entirely possible that the password for those e-mail addresses will not actually change until the new one is used for the first time by the e-mail client.  Centralized and synchronized passwords operate in such a way that an existing password will continue to work until and unless you supply the new one, at which point the sync takes place.

Apple has been using a single point of access style for a very, very long time now.  And the only reason I can imagine that those other accounts are still working if you have not updated it in the client(s) is because it's allowing ongoing access with the immediately previous password.

I had my hard drive replaced with a SSD drive. The IT guy cloned my drive so

that I do not lose stuff. On my desktop is a program "macrium Reflect" which

was not there. Does anyone know this software?

Brian,

This is the problem I run into. When it talks about changing passwords, it is referring to my Apple ID password, not the one associated with my me.com or icloud.com email address. Very frustrating

Thanks,

Alan

On the iCloud.com page, right under the login, is the link:  Forgot Apple ID or password?

I cannot seem to connect to me.com at all.

If you cannot use Apple's own "Forgot Password" process to change your password you are going to be out of luck.

Alan,

           Are these all not one and the same?   It's an Apple account, a single Apple account, that's used to access all their services, isn't it?

           The last time I had to deal with this an Apple account was much like a Google Account or Microsoft Account in that there was one userid (typically a master e-mail address) and password that's used to access all services.
