Hi, Hoping I can get some help here, I couldn't find an answer in the search topics.

I have lost a few local subfolders. First the subfolders lost the emails contained in them and then the subfolders themselves disappeared.

I renamed the main folder just removing the year from the folder name and not long after that the above happened.

I have tried the following:

• Searching the help topics • Searching the forum • Closing reopening Thunderbird • I removed .msf files and restarted Thunderbird

I am not sure what I can do now.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had a working thunderbird/gmail connection until my main drive went to SSD heaven. Yes, I have current backups but I took the opportunity to move to a Win 11 box so all my data is safe but might be in different places.

I can log into gmail but can not configure thunderbird to do that. The Account Hub does what it is supposed to and all is well up to Password question. The gmail password does not work and I can't remember ever giving thunderbird a password. My mozilla accounts all refer to a domain that I gave up 5 years ago,

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thank you for the advice on copying the Thunderbird folder, which I have done. However, what is failing is the adding of further existing email accounts. I enter the Account name, the email address and the password but I still get Authentication error. I have, after some difficulty, succeeded in adding five accounts with three different hosts. The further accounts I wish to add use two of the hosts of the successful additions.

I have a new PC. I have added five email accounts, three different hosts, with some difficulty. Thunderbird finds the details for others but then refuses with the message Authentication error. Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

I added Thunderbird by copying from my old PC. The hosts for those not yet added are the same as those added.

I am in the midst of the long process of moving most (not all!) of my gmail from the gmail server to TBird, using filters as discussed in this thread.

I've started by first using filters on less important emails (ie so that no true disaster occurs if something goes horribly wrong). As I do so, I have questions!

For example, let's say I use a filter to: copy all the emails from @someone.org to a local folder then delete those emails (from the server)

What happens if one of those emails happens to be within a thread, including emails from people who don't match the filter (ie are not @someone.org). Have I broken the thread forever, ie, has something gone horribly wrong? If so, how do I prevent this behavior/have the entire thread move along with the targeted value? If not, I don't see how I can move email without breaking threads, which is a bit of a problem.

(Also - whoops, I see I should update, but the question remains.)

As above, is there any EASY way to edit the Subject line on a received email. These days, most accounts are via email, and currently if I receive a bill for payment, I have to add an XNote or something similar, to note that I have paid, which means that you then have to open that email, to see it... Would be SO much easier, if I could just add a note to the subject line. Realise that you can (laboriously) go through the actual mail files and edit/create a script to do this, but before I go through the process, was thinking there must be an easier way??

Thanks,

I have Thunderbird on Android 15. I can not move an accidentaly deleted message back to the inbox.

In Thunderbird > settings > general settings > visualization > visible message management (approximate translation from other language) I have selected "move".

I suspect that this is an error.
