I want to save files externally from the service provider so that they are on my PC. Could this be POP3 and can old files be converted to this or:- Is the another way of saving directories of data to my PC Thanks Alan

How do I fix Thunderbird when I can't find my files of messages, and Thunderbird can't find any messages. Yes I refreshed my account information. all this happened with this last update.

Hi, I am trying to import an .mbox file that I exported from gmail but continuously getting error "import failed unexpectedly, more information may be available in the error console". Can somebody help please? I have tried selecting different options but none of them work.

Thank you heaps.

I've looked through FAQs and found off-line capability within Thunderbird for Windows. However, the off-line icon is not available on my tablet or in a menu.

Thanks Jeff

I use Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) to read mail from the Outlook server; these are the folder mappings:

imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/INBOX imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/Sent imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/Drafts imap://<email>@outlook.office365.com/Trash

I used to also be able to read the Junk Email folder from the Ourlook server the same way, but the folder disappeared from my Thunderbird a couple of months ago. I tried re-adding it as a sub-folder, which is how I created it in the first place, but it won't appear on the list.

I'm not sure what else to do here. I don't know where the Thunderbird directories are stored locally any more, I'm using Ubintu 24.04.

I have Thunderbird installed on my PC and I have a HOW TO question.

I have my wife's email account setup to forward all mail to my email account. When the mail arrives, I have a filter that moves her mail to a folder and that filter works great. My problem was that we received an email yesterday where the TO line contained my both my email addresses (i.e. MMMM.xxxxx.com WWWW.ggggggggg.com). My email is not filtered and stays in the inbox but when the message arrived, the filter saw her address on the TO line in addition to my address and moved the message to her folder and I did not see the message since it was no longer in the inbox.

I tried to setup new, additional filter that I thought might work where the TO line contained both addresses where the filter action was to copy the message to her folder but leave the message in inbox but that didn't work. Since this message was from our homeowners association I tried FROM contains (i.e. @HOAssociation.com) and one or both of our email addresses on the TO line with the action still being a copy to her folder but that didn't seem to work either.

It was late at night (early morning) so I gave up and decided to ask for help so if anyone knows how to set this up. please let me know. Thanks.

As a totally blind individual, I use a screen reader talking software package to read aloud material displayed on the screen. I tried Thunderbird for the first time yesterday, and I love its logic and simplicity. I am hoping to find electronic documentation so I can learn important tasks such as: what do all of the categories mean in the Sort emails option; how do I obtain the "from" address in an email message so I can create a mail filters using the address to automatically send certain messages to trash when they arrive; I love short HTML but want to know how it differs from the default message format; and so on and so on. If there is no comprehensive documentation in one file, perhaps what I need is a simple tutorial on how to search for the answers to these questions myself. I don't want anyone having to retype material that I can find if I am shown how to do so. I do Googloe and Kagi searches all of the time, and would gladly welcome material on how to search Thunderbird help to find answers. I love the product; it works smoothly and easily with my screen reader, something another big competitor's cliendt doesn't seem to do. Once I learn a bit more, I plan to make Thunderbird my default email client. Thanks for such an awesome experience.

I want to stop all threads appearing in my tabs when I open just the latest message. Although I delete them, they have a habit of proliferating and then its takes a while to return to the inbox.

I have a dozen different email accounts set up in T-Bird. Except for my gmail account, all of them take the form of prefixes to the domain name that I own. To get new mail several times a day I normally use the shortcut Shift+F5. However, my age-challenged memory doesn't always know how long ago I most recently did that download. As a feature, I would like to see posted somewhere the time of the most recent download, in a simple hh:mm format. Maybe it could also be shown for any given account when I download only that one. If this feature is already available I haven't yet found it.

David. I apologize, as I don't know how to respond using this contact method. If there is a method for me to reply to the same thread, please advise. That is why I asked for an email to reply to. From what you just responded with, I think there is a method of responding through this forum. Please inform if I'm not correct. Thanks in advance Floyd

Today when I launched Thunderbird it opened the program to Account Setup window. I clicked the Inbox tab at the top and I noticed all my folders were gone as will as all my email accounts, saved emails, calendar setting, basically it looks like a fresh install. An internet didn't offer much help. I did find some info about Troubleshooting Information from the Help option and found the profile folder location. It looks like there are still folders there but I am not sure what they really contain. I tried installing Thunderbird on top of the current program but it made no difference. I also tried an Import of the Default file location that Thunderbird suggested and I got an error message that the Import failed unexpectedly. I've scanned my PC for any viruses and found none. I am using the latest version of Windows 11. Seems like a weird problem as I used Thunderbird yesterday with no problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx,

Hello, Sorry, I have 2 problems... - When I try to create a new subfolder, nothing happens. - in the "file" submenu, "compact the folders", and "empty the trash" never come "active"

I will not be surprised these two situations come from the same origin... Thanks in advance if you can give me a way to find it. Best regards François Cuq

Привет всем! Облазил и прочел много формумов, статей и так далее, для настройки работы Thunderbird с OpenPGP и с Yubikey. Все материалы утверждают что да, можно всё это настроить. Но, все предложенные варианты не помогают, всё равно вылетает вот такая ошибка, если Thunderbird запустить из терминала. У меня Ubuntu 24.04.1 и Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-разрядный).

console.warn: "EnigmailFuncs.sync() failed result: %o" (new TypeError("typedArray is null", "chrome://openpgp/content/modules/RNP.sys.mjs", 3749)) JavaScript error: chrome://openpgp/content/modules/mimeEncrypt.sys.mjs, line 455: Error: encryptMessageStart FAILED: -1 console.error: mailnews.send: ({}) console.error: mailnews.send: "Sending failed; , exitCode=2153185313, originalMsgURI=" JavaScript error: chrome://openpgp/content/modules/RNP.sys.mjs, line 3749: TypeError: typedArray is null

Вопрос, как всё это нормально настроить, что бы это работало?

CardDav is supported by TB now. I want to go away from the CardBook extension to native TB-CardDav. But: From 3 selected cardDAV-Addressbooks, only two synced and showed all contacts (150 and 700). The third (with 1300 contacts) will not show any contacts in TB. The address book is there, and contains the contacts. The address book did sync prior to the TB128-update with the CardBook TB-extension and does synch with other cardDAV apps like Davx5 on Android. Are there any limits for number of address books or number of contacts per address books in TB? Any other thoughts?

Hi.

I have two accounts on Thunderbird (the latest version up to 2024/12/8). One is Outlook and the other is via IMAP. I find tag function works well in any email of the Outlook account. But for my IMAP account, once I tag any email, it soon disappears after any further operation (e.g., clicking any button). What happened here? Is there any way to fix it?
