Message-ID: <8727b4e4-7b14-f1df-8e8f-cc376a513487@gmail.com> Hi all, not sure if this is a problem with orca thunderbird or both, but using Ubuntu 17.04 unity desktop, orca 3.22 and the latesed thunderbird. I imported my settings over from a tbird profile that I had backed up and after doing this, things worked fine, but now today I started thunderbird and was prompted to sign in to my gmail account, but found that though I could see my email address, I was ubnable to activate the next button to enter my password. I should point that this happened when trying to add the account from scratch. Note, I have 2 gmail accounts and the second one works just fine. Anyone here seeing this and how to fix this. I could try to remove my settings but not sure this would fix it as I had the same problem when setting things up manually. Also, the more opsions button did not give me anything either. Thanks.

I think Gmail is the culprit here. It's possible it doesn't fully recognize you and thinks you're trying to login from an unknown device. You will need to verify that you are you by other means before Google will unblock your access to that account. It's possible that logging into the blocked account via gmail.com will fix this, but you also may need to authorize Thunderbird to access your Google account, which it usually does automatically via a popup with an allow button. Otherwise, there are a few other options you can try that may also unblock your access.

I generally use sylpheed not thunderbird so doubt this is a thunderbird only issue. -- lyn Perrine From ilovecountrymusic483 at gmail.com Sun May 14 15:29:12 2017 From: ilovecountrymusic483 at gmail.com (Matthew Dyer) Date: Sun, 14 May 2017 11:29:12 -0400 Subject: ubuntu mate accessibility problem in 17.04. Message-ID: Hi all, Just found a problem which I find to be a huge problem. First if you try to move or go to the menu, there is no speech. You can bring up orca with no problem, but in the gui nothing is spoken. I can launch apps such as firefox from the run box, but no speech how ever in the desktop or menus. Is there a way to fix this problem. I know there is a comman to tell mate to use accessibility, but should accessibility alreadybe enabled. I tested this with 16.10 and accessibility is fine. Perhaps this is a mate 1.18 problem? Any ideas on this one. Thanks.
