Thunderbird Forum podrške

I'm new to PC's. I have very basic knowledge of how to use an i-pad. A month ago I got myself a new MacBook. I installed Thunderbird, no problems. My old mail showed up, new mail came in. I installed GNupg.

Following FSF's excellent tutorial I set up Thunderbird with encryption, all good. Now I'm at the point where I 'should try it out' by sending 'Edward' my public key. This worked as I immediately got an encrypted e-mail from 'Edward' in my Apple inbox. However, on Thunderbird I was left hanging with a constantly spinning disc which I presumed meant Thunderbird was trying to retrieve said e-mail. This did not resolve.

After clicking here and there on Thunderbird's interface, I ended up at the account set up screen being prompted for my e-mail address and password. Three weeks had passed and I couldn't remember my password, nor find a note of it. I only have access to account set up and homepage. On homepage I looked through the 'hamburger' menu but I can't find anything that helps. So, I'm locked out of Thunderbird mail.

Any help would be appreciated on both how to resolve the password issue, and what might have gone wrong in retrieving 'Edwards' mail.

Many thanks, Darren.

I made a huge mistake, I was trying to make Thunderbird view larger, now it's much to large to be functional or to make changes or go back to original settings. Here's what happened.

I went into "advanced settings" and changed layout.css.dev.Pixels.Per.Px the size is to large and now I can not view or make changes to Thunderbird. I tried deleting Thunderbird and re-installing it but no luck, the re-install has same large scale issue.

My Thunderbird email program no longer accepts my password for my Gmail account. It's the same password I use to log on to Firefox and I can open my Gmail from there so I know it's the right one. I've tried deleting the password from the save passwords window and I've made sure that I've updated to the latest Thunderbird version and I've restarted my computer after all of the previous things. I'm out of ideas. Help?

I have forgotten how to print individual addresses from my Thunderbird address books! I know I've done it in the long-ago past--perhaps 10 years ago--with no problems, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Help--and thank you!

I am setting up a newsletter which will go to my five hundred contacts every day. can I download mozilla thunderbird, and will it be acceptable to do so with that email using another platform email marketing platform? My list has given me permission (signed up) for this, there is no cold emails, but they are forwarded on for several generations, from one person to all their contacts, to theirs ,and on and on. Would this be permissible with thunderbird? I thank you for your attention to this matter.

I have a profile containing three email accounts. It's huuuuge, but I was able to transfer it over to a second computer last year. I'd now like to update specific mailboxes on that second computer but don't want to have to recopy the profile.

Is there a way to update/backup/copy a specific mailbox for transfer to a second computer without having to use the profile?

Also, I'd like to be able to backup one of the three email accounts specifically. Is there a way to do this without using the profile? Thank you for any help.

Hello. My Thunderbird Portable 91.10.0 (32-bit, Win7 64-bit) stopped working with gmail. Cookies are allowed in the settings. The latest updates are installed. What should I do?

I am all of a sudden not receiving emails from group lists I previously have been a part of and my email is in the distribution list. This just started to happen.

Any suggestions? Not very technical here...

I just noticed TB now has 5 address books & this is what I want to do: My email addresses are all mixed up so:

1] I would like down load all address books to 1 CSV file to sort & eliminate any email addresses that are NOT MY PERSONAL ADDRESSES.

2] Then I want to import MY PERSONAL ADDRESSES back to TB to 1 PERSONAL ADDRESS book, While eliminating [DELETING] all other PHONE BOOKS as I don't need them. I will do my own adding of emails myself, it's that simple.

I back-up my Thunderbird profile folder every week.

I noticed that this week it was less than 50% of the size it was last week.

Upon inspection this appeared to be due to the IMAP folders being much smaller this week. I had to wait for some of the email attachments, which I thought were stored locally, to download.

After a while and after opening as many of these IMAP folders as I could, I checked the size of my profile folder again and it's now about 75% of the size it was last week.

I'm a bit unsettled as the reason I use a desktop-based email client is to act as a temporary local backup for my webmail (IMAP) including email attachments until I get the time to sort through them... but it seems that many of the attachments have disappeared in the last few days (well, I can see them but if I want to open them I have to wait for them to download).

I'm also a little concerned since my profile folder has shrunk to below 50% of what it was and then, in the last few hours has grown to 75% of what it was...

Thunderbird did update itself in the last few days so I wonder whether this changed things?

Things I've tried:

1) Opening & closing thunderbird a few times.

2) Rebooting whole desktop PC several times.

3) Checking Thunderbird's 'Synchronisation & Storage' settings (which seem to be as they should be if I want everything to be downloaded & stored locally)...

I'm thinking of removing and then re-adding my webmail account to Thunderbird to see whether that will rest things a bit

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hello. I have transferred all my thunderbird emails to the new laptop I purchased for when we go away.. I am using my desktop daily and the lap top maybe once a month.. How can I set the lap top to stop all my emails while I am at home using my desk top. At the moment all my emails are downloading to both desktop and laptop and each week I have to open the lap top and delete all the emails that are there but I have already read and deleted on my desk top .. Hope you can help me set the lap top not to receive emails unless I turn the setting on when I go away.. Thanks Noel

No response to previous, so trying again with 2 questions: 1. Having lost addresses and calendar because of having to download fresh program, are addresses and calendar still somewhere in the computer to be retrieved?? 2. To guard against it happening again, can ads & cal be stored remotely for re-importing??

I cannot sent email to one specific recipient. I have two accounts, one through gmail and one through AT&T. When I try and sent an email to this one recipient from either account, the File/Send Now function is grayed out. Ctrl-Enter does not work either. This is the only recipient I cannot send mail to. I've sent test email to several other recipients with no problem. Obviously, I'm not getting any kind of 'email blocked' type of message, since nothing is being sent out.

My Thunderbird version is 91.9.0 (32-bit)

Any ideas why this is happening?

TIA for any help.
