How Do I Enable Cookies in Thunderbird?

Published in Thunderbird Configuration 1 min read

To enable cookies in Thunderbird, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Options. The location of Options depends on your operating system:

    • Windows: Click the menu button (three horizontal lines) > Options > Options.
    • macOS: Click Thunderbird in the menu bar > Preferences.
    • Linux: Click Edit > Preferences
  2. Select the Privacy & Security panel.

  3. Under the Web Content section, find the "Accept cookies from sites" setting. Ensure this is selected (checked).

By enabling cookies, you will be able to use OAuth 2 for authentication, which is necessary for accessing services like Microsoft 365 email in Thunderbird. Keep in mind that Thunderbird only provides access to Microsoft 365 email; calendar and tasks are not supported.
