In Thunderbird, the browser console is called the error console.

Tools > Developer Tools > Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J)

Try typing 1+2 into the command line, then press enter. The error console should evaluate the expression as 3.

Hi morat, can you change your code with two other fictive emails including some changes i'd like if any of those can be integrated:

added1@yahoo.com
added2@yahoo.com

1) not imap but pop3
2) including the 2 corresponding passwords (saved)
3) including corresponding pop3 & smtp server names & ports (it doesn't seem to actually create the related smtps..)
4) check new messages every 1 minute.

@xdelicacyx

I don't know how to programmatically save a password.

Here is a guess on how to add smtp servers manually using the error console.

Code: Select all

// add smtp servers manually

(function () {

  var arr = [
    "abracadabra@gmail.com", // google imap account 1
    "hocuspocus@gmail.com",  // google imap account 2
  ];
  for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
    var server = MailServices.smtp.createServer();
    server.username = arr[i];
    server.hostname = "smtp.googlemail.com";
    server.description = "Google Mail";
    server.port = 465; // 25 or 465 or 587
    server.socketType = 3; // Components.interfaces.nsMsgSocketType.SSL;
    server.authMethod = 10; // Components.interfaces.nsMsgAuthMethod.OAuth2;
    if (server.authMethod == Components.interfaces.nsMsgAuthMethod.OAuth2) {
      var prefBranch = "mail.smtpserver." + server.key + ".";
      Services.prefs.setCharPref(prefBranch + "oauth2.scope", "https://mail.google.com/");
      Services.prefs.setCharPref(prefBranch + "oauth2.issuer", "accounts.google.com");
    }
    if (!MailServices.smtp.defaultServer ||
        !MailServices.smtp.defaultServer.hostname) {
      MailServices.smtp.defaultServer = server;
    }
  }

})();

Code: Select all

// inspect outgoing server properties

(function () {

  console.log("outgoing server properties");
  var smtpServers = MailServices.smtp.servers;
  while (smtpServers.hasMoreElements()) {
    var existingServer = smtpServers.getNext().
      QueryInterface(Components.interfaces.nsISmtpServer);
    console.log(existingServer);
  }

})();
The code should be considered experimental.

Morat, could you please combine both codes so i only have one code to execute per smtp server.

Code: Select all

    // add mail accounts manually

    (function () {

      var arr = [
        ["abracadabra@gmail.com", "Harry Potter"], // google pop3 account 1
        ["hocuspocus@gmail.com", "Ron Weasley"],   // google pop3 account 2
      ];
      var accountManager = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/messenger/account-manager;1"].
        getService(Components.interfaces.nsIMsgAccountManager);
      for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
        var username = arr[i][0];
        var hostname = "pop.googlemail.com"; // imap.googlemail.com or pop.googlemail.com
        var type = "pop3"; // imap or pop3
        var server = accountManager.createIncomingServer(username, hostname, type);
        server.port = 993; // 993 or 995
        server.socketType = 3; // Components.interfaces.nsMsgSocketType.SSL;
        server.authMethod = 10; // Components.interfaces.nsMsgAuthMethod.OAuth2;
        server.biffMinutes = 1; // Check for new messages every 1 minutes
        server.prettyName = username;
        server.doBiff = false;
        server.valid = true;
        var identity = accountManager.createIdentity();
        identity.fullName = arr[i][1];
        identity.email = username;
        identity.valid = true;
        var account = accountManager.createAccount();
        account.addIdentity(identity);
        account.incomingServer = server;
        if (!accountManager.defaultAccount) {
          accountManager.defaultAccount = account;
        }
      }

    })();

Code: Select all

     // add smtp servers manually

    (function () {

      var arr = [
        "abracadabra@gmail.com", // google smtp account 1
        "hocuspocus@gmail.com",  // google smtp account 2

        server.port = 465; // 25 or 465
        server.socketType = 3; // Components.interfaces.nsMsgSocketType.SSL;
        server.authMethod = 10; // Components.interfaces.nsMsgAuthMethod.OAuth2;
        if (server.authMethod == Components.interfaces.nsMsgAuthMethod.OAuth2) {
          var prefBranch = "mail.smtpserver." + server.key + ".";

          MailServices.smtp.defaultServer = server;
        }
      }

& finally, see if you could add those missing ones:

check for new messages at startup (box checked)
check for new messages every (x) minutes (box checked)
automatically download new messages (box checked)
In "composition tab" start my reply (above)

& the sadly unfixed password saving ((

I've been looking there unsuccessfully with various tests, maybe this could help:

@xdelicacyx

Give me a week or so. I have to create a yahoo account to test the code.

I got it working somewhat. I can save the password for google imap accounts using authentication method normal password, but not OAuth2. I think google forces you save the password using the webpage.

P.S.

Stupid google. I got a "Critical security alert" message from google after testing the code. I can't login to one of my throw away accounts now.

Ok morat, that's good news, password saving will make the code finally useful ))

It's true that an imap account is always a better solution to review & control emails stupidly trapped in the spam field because of incorrect imposed spam filters by gmail,
but not all email servers offer imap. nevertheless, that's not a problem, as you gave me the way to change imap to pop3 in the code.

& yes, google forces webpage logins for pop3 or imap. The good news is that gmail is not alone in the emailing world & i won't be using their accounts in the future, for emailing.
i even have worse by google, because i use 4 gmail accounts in wlm, at the 15th or 20th link i get in google searches, i win a captcha, & those google captchas appear EVERYWHERE
in other pages for multiple reasons, & naturally, i can't use "buster" addon on firefox v42, the only latest version of firefox that accepts all my addons ... because that addon works
on a minimum of ff v54 or so .. . those captchas are actually ruinning my websurfing. for google everyone is a shitty bot.. i call that military authoritarianism ... google are the biggest
shitheads in the web, imposing u more & more control over your own internet consumption time by trying to validate shit images frame after frame ...

Keep me updated for the code, thanks a lot.

You need a mobile phone number to create a yahoo account. It is too much trouble to test the code.

Re: Is there any automation for bulk adding eMail accounts?

Post by xdelicacyx »

Thank you so, i realized you included all specifications for accounts ))

I forgot two final minor issues, it'd be great to integrate those two:

On server settings tab:
Leave messages on server (disabled)

On junk settings tab:
Enable adaptive junk mail controls (disabled)



& also, would there be a minimal code for bulk removal in imap/pop3 & in smtp, providing email names ?

You don't need to add properties with default values to the code.

Isn't leave messages on server (unchecked) the default for pop3 accounts?

i.e. pref("mail.server.default.leave_on_server", false);

Code: Select all

inServer.leaveMessagesOnServer = true; // [check] Leave messages on server, pop3 only
I don't know how to set the junk mail controls. The following line fails to change the spam setting.

Code: Select all

inServer.spamSettings.level = 0; // [uncheck] Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account

I tried to add both commands & i get this:
[Exception... "Cannot modify properties of a WrappedNative" nsresult: "0x80570034 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CANT_MODIFY_PROP_ON_WN)" location: "JS frame :: debugger eval code :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 80" data: no]
It seems that i cannot keep
// inServer.downloadOnBiff = true; // [check] Automatically download new messages, pop3 only
in the code if i don't change everything to pop3..
if that's true, it means i have to save 2 different codes, one for pop3, & one for imap.
& the junk filter command doesn't seem to work either with 0 or 1...

Code: Select all

    // adds incoming and outgoing servers, add local folders server

Re: Is there any automation for bulk adding eMail accounts?

The code I posted works for google imap accounts with authentication method normal password.

You need to hire a developer to fix the code for yahoo accounts. I can't fix the code without creating a yahoo account. (too much trouble)
