Thunderbird used to ask me for my password on incoming emails but this has now disappeared and mail is automatically downloaded when I open Thunderbird. How do I re-instate this? I have version 91.10.0 on a Mac and have a POP3 account. I am still asked to enter a password for sending mail and would like to keep this feature.

I had to refresh the OS on my Ubuntu machine and thus lost my Thunderbird application but my home directory is intact and my previous profile (containing multiple mail accounts) is present. When I reinstalled Thunderbird it starts with all settings blank. How can I point to my existing profile without rebuilding all the account information from scratch?

Migrated now 77yo father a couple years ago from Win XP to Win 11.

He had been using Outlook Express for years, so I may have chosen Thunderbird ESR as replacement. He has the latest version (17.0.9) but it has stopped working due to Gmail's security change (oAuth).

Should I backup his profile, uninstall ESR, then download and install latest TBird version to get working again? Thanksbold text

Dear TB helpers, I have a migration problem for email messages needing to be transferred please to a new PC. They resided in my previous TB within local folders, i.e., on my old PC.

Having backed them up by copying and pasting the old profile (and all its contents) on to an external HDD, I have also recopied the profile to a desktop folder on the new PC. It has a lot of sbd suffix folders and msf subfolders and many items with a name but no suffix.

The newly installed TB (IMAP method for my gmail address) on the new PC has a different 8-character ID as the default user new profile, i.e., different from the 8-character ID for the TB profile on the old PC.

Can the old email messages be added to the new TB local folders in the new PC under the new profile by following certain simple steps? I would not want to lose these 25 GB of messages as some could be needed for future reference. Just looking for continuity really but do not trust my knowledge of TB.

Regards, Bill 30may22.

Basically, a requested relaunch blanked my profile and I can't get it back.

I have a lengthy workaround that will take over an hour to fix from backups, before this incident, but I'd really like to understand what's going on. How can my add-ons, bookmarks, history, logins, etc. be gone? If I did a refresh on purpose, why would my shortcuts remain intact? And, I started by backing up my profile folder to a neutral spot, so why isn't replacing it reversing the changes?

As background: The "about:profiles/Restart With Add-ons disabled" button brings up a small button dialogue to choose "refresh" or default "open." I selected "open" because I didn't want to fix my profile and assumed I would relaunch with only add-ons disabled, so this was a potential point of screw-up. I assume selecting "refresh" would reset application defaults and make a mess exactly like I find myself in now. Shouldn't "Restart with Add-ons disabled/Open" relaunch a temporary and reversible state? Doesn't "refresh" prompt a new default profile?

Considering evidence only, it appears I did something to roast my profile before I backed it up, but that's strange and really out in the weeds, and I'm assuming I wrecked it with my current activity.

The default profile name and path are correct. My shortcut links and labels that I use for a home page are intact but with icons missing, the same appearance as if I deleted the cache; is this detail part of application settings and not profile?

Hi, Can someone please tell me why my new computer cannot see the Thunderbird Profile folder which I've migrated from my laptop into the correct folder of the new i7 computer. If I take out the default Profile folder and replace with the migrated one, Thunderbird will not open because it says it can't see the Profile folder. However if I put back the default Profile folder then Thunderbird works again. There must be a secret here somewhere! Any help will be much appreciated. BW Clifford

After Thunderbird update, Thunderbird seems to be stuck in update mode

Hi,

My Problem: After an update Thunderbird does not let me access any functions, and just stays with an "empty" screen (see below)

What happened/lead to the problem? Thunderbird requested to be updated. After the update run, thunderbird was restarted (as requested). This is how it looks after restart (see image 1) Almost none of the functions work.

What might be the cause? From my guess it seems that Thunderbird is still in the mode to complete the update. For some reason it cannot complete the update cycle- As you can see in the second screenshot it still says a restart is necessary. When I click on the button, thunderbird restarts, but still with the same (empty) screen.


System Info: Windows 10 I currently use thunderbird 91.10.0

What I already tried:

  • I already tried to use "safe mode" . But it didn't help either
  • I already tried to uninstall / reinstall thunderbird. But still I get in this endless update cycle.
  • Tried to instal 91.1.0

I am trying to move Gmail accounts from an old Outlook to Thunderbird due to new OAuth2 rules but can't get the accounts set up in Thunderbird on Windows 10: I installed a fresh copy of 31.8 and Imported emails and address books from Outlook ok. I then installed (upgraded to) 91.10 and tried to set up my existing Gmail account: I type in my gmail username and password and choose POP3 then Done and the Google Credentials window pops up. I enter my email and password and it asks to give Thunderbird access so I choose Allow. The Account Setup screen then says Checking Password and Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password... If I choose Done it just goes in the same loop. If I Configure Manually I can see all the info and pop/smtp servers are correct and using SSL/TLS and OAuth2 but when I try to Get Messages for the account it just pops up the Google Credentials window and after I put in the username/password again no email is downloaded. There is never anything stored in Saved Passwords either so presumably the OAuth2 token is not being saved? I have tried: Reinstalling Thunderbird (including deleting any leftover Thunderbird folders in Programs and User Data) New profile Ensured Cookies are all allowed Added https://accounts.google.com as specifically Allowed exception In my Google account it says Thunderbird IS allowed access (it adds another allow access entry every time I enter the Credentials) Disabled antivirus (Kaspersky) My Gmail username and password are 100% correct - I can log into webmail using them no problem. I have tried to set up 3 different Gmail accounts and all fail with same errors. Hope you can help as I am completely stuck now, thanks

Support page indicated e-mail migration from Outlook had to be in Version 31.8, then allow Thunderbird to automatically update to latest version. Successfully completed migration to version 31.8, however the About Thunderbird window states that "Thunderbird is up to date" and "You are currently on the release update channel." It does not automatically update to anything.

Alternatively tried changing profile pointing, also moving Local Folders mail to profile folder for updated version 91.4.1 also installed on computer without success.

Any way to convince 31.8 to update?

But then I get a message from "7-ZIP" that reads "Can not create temp folder archive"

I'm stuck. Advice?

My old 2009 MacBook Pro broke, got fixed, and now the backup won't transfer. So I need a new Firefox.

OS X El Capitan V10.11.6 is the latest this old computer will handle. On the mozilla.org download page, the app on the .dmg that gets downloaded says it wants OS X 10.12 or later.

I'd appreciate your suggestions.
