Export to mobile failure-will not scan

I don't have an error code.

I am using TB 152.0.1 on Windows 11 Home 10.0.26200 Build 26200 I want to have TB on my Galaxy Tab 6 lite, and/or Huawei P20. I have the app installed on both devices, but whenever I try to scan the QR code under 'export for mobile', neither device locks onto it.

I know this problem has been reported before, but what I can do to make it work? Is there a setting I need to check/change, what is that setting, and where do I find it?

Grateful for any help, thank you

I currently have the following:

Mozilla Thunderbird version 152.0.1 (64-bit) installed on a Windows 11 Pro computer. Within this installation are five E-Mail accounts configured and working.

I have selected Export for Mobile.

On Android (Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - 5G) One UI Version: 8.5 Android: 16 Kernel: 6.1.145-android14-11-33419968-abS928USQS6DZF2

Thunderbird Version: 20.0

I click on the Import Settings: Try to scan the QR Code from my laptop which says 1 of 2 QR Codes and I get nothing. No pop-ups, no approvals, it just sits there. Clicking done takes me back to the main screen.

Is there an easy way to switch from BetterBird to Thunderbird?

Someone suggested BetterBird would be better for me than Thunderbird, but I'm not sure it was the right decision. They said I should be able to just open Thunderbird and it should work as they have the same base code, but it doesn't. Any ideas? I have 8 email accounts, so I'd hate to start from scratch.

I use Thunderbird on my older Macbook Air, which I am replacing with q new Mac laptop. I have a huge record of emails in many folders on the old computer and want the same thing on the new computer. I have done this many times in the past between a desktop and a laptop Mac with no issues. But something seems to have changed.

I installed the program, I tried to transfer the profile from the old computer to the new computer, and deleted the older profile. I tried to open Thunderbird and it tells me the profile is missing or inaccessible. I deleted the .ini file but that just makes me do a set up again. I used to do this all the time between my other Macs and it was super simple. Now it's a nightmare and doesn't work at all.

So how do we transfer all saved email, folders and server into etc from on computer to a different computer?

On my Windows 11 laptop, in Thunderbird v 148.0.1, I changed the entries for Accounts>"Your name" for all of my accounts. I then Tools>Export the settings to a file. It was reported as 1.97Gigs, and Krusader displayed it as 1.9Gigs.

On my Linux laptop, I imported the settings into Linux Thunderbird v 140.9.0esr (64-bit). It did not import the new names. When I attempted to edit them, Account Settings mode says "Account name already exists" and appends _2 to the account name.

I forgot to make a backup before I undertook this.

How can I fix this?

My desktop win 10 computer system crashed. While the operating system was zapped, the actual c: drive was intact. A new c: drive was installed with win 11 pro but when I connect the old drive to the new system, I am locked out of the user>apps>thunderbird folders ( access denied). Is there a way of overriding this security feature? I was hoping to be able to import my profile with several email addresses and their associated archival data. This is more complicated than I was expecting.

I have a window home computer that was upgraded from w10 to w11. I had to buy a new w11 machine at my vacation home because the old one was not upgradeable. I was successful in moving the profile from home to vacation home. But a month later I corrupted w11 on my new vacation machine while loading my earlier version of Adobe Photoshop from their instilling disk. W11 could not be repaired and I had to reinstall new w11 while keeping my files etc. This time Thunderbird would not let me move/use my old profile file. No mater what I tried!!

In the past, I've always moved the profile file "Thunderbird" in Appdata file to the new machine and renaming the installed Thunderbird file with XXX after it. It always worked in the past. My profile file is over 2mb. I've tried using all of the logical import options in this new instillations and only get error messages that it could not import the data and to look at the error console? Which I don't know where that is located. I will look for it in w11.

I think that the only difference (which I don't think should make a difference) is the directory name file difference after "users"

Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!!!

I need a way to get password list off old Thunderbird.

I've been upgrading from Win 7 and Thunderbird (TB) version 68.1.1 (32 bit) to most recent TB Version 145.0.7632.117 (Official Build) (64-bit) NOTE: From a old Dell Inspiron 580 to Alienware Aurora Act 1250.

With new system and TB, I can export with handy-dandy exporter for TB 145.0.7632.117 but need them off old Windows 7 box. I see that the Legacy Add-on "Password Exporter" doesn't have versions high enough to work with most recent TB. And, I can't find a exporter for the old TB.

I have tried listing them in the old TB, but can't Capy/Paste. I made good quality screen caps and pieced them together in to one list. I was hoping to put the screen cap through a OCR but too costly for just one operation, and won't put it to a Online OCR - not when the image contains such things as ID';s and passwords.

Is there any way the data and passwords can be extracted from the old TB?

Many thanks for your help,
