I just bought a new laptop at Best Buy; and asked the Geek Squad to transfer everything from my old Lenovo to the new one. Re: my Thunderbird email: on my old laptop I have about 10,000 emails in my in box. I also have previous years' emails stored in local folders, by year. When the transfer occurred, only one month of "inbox" emails show in the new laptop, which is receiving new ones as well. I cannot find the local folders containing the previous emails. Although I brought the laptops back to Best Buy, the Geek Squad rep was unable to find a way to transfer successfully. They suggested that TBird might be able to download directly from the server? I have looked thru the suggested transfer methods using USB to copy and load,, essentially, onto the new device but am wary of attempting, not wanting to screw up the records . on the old laptop. I have limited tech experience. Can you advise as to how I can get my new laptop to accept the same setup as old, with all the stuff intact? FYI: there is a TB Profile Backup folder on my old laptop that was created during the Geek session; it is 21 GB zip folder. Any help / guidance much appreciated. Kathy Ormosi kormosi@verizon.net

After the latest Thunderbird update to 115.18.0 I can still receive emails but can not send. When I try to send, the following message appears in a box:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <martin.peros@bellnet.ca> sender rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I have verified my account settings and all other data.

Hello, (I'm french and not very good at english, please excuse me). Since Microsoft changed the protocole for email with hotmail, I can't receive or send messages from thunderbird on my computer (W10). Is there a solution? Could you explain the steps to configure Thunderbird with hotmail? Thanks for answers. Best regards Maice

I use Mailwasher to see incoming emails waiting for me at my ISP. That way I can delete iffy emails before they get on my pc. Over the last few months I have been having occasional problems where emails I have accepted can take a long time getting onto my pc when I get Thunderbird to download them. Sending emails can also sometimes take a long time to go.

My unreliable memory tells me I have asked about this before, but have had no response yet. I would like to trace my old questions to remind me exactly what I asked (or just think I asked). How can I do that?

PS I'm not sure I have picked the best topic for this

Thankyou

How can I store emails in a local directory? I thought the "Local Folders" serves this purpose, but it does not reflect the online folder structure. Under my account, several folders are shown, and I have subscribed to them. But none of the folders are reflected under the "Local Folders". See the attached image. 1. So what is the use of "Local Folders"? 2. It is also said that email messages are stored in the profile, which in my case is on the C drive. How can I store emails in a local directory that I choose, e.g., D drive which is different from where the profile is located? I am very confused.

Hello, Having to change computers, I made a backup of my profile. When I wanted to restore it on the new computer, I had the unpleasant surprise of discovering that this ZIP file was unusable because it was larger than 2 MB, this limitation not being announced during the backup. My old computer having been reformatted, I can't recover anything. Is there a solution to be able to find at least the address book on this backup? Thank you for your help.

The website WSJ has large areas on front page, including the opinion listing, are simply white and not 'there' on the page to click on. I've deleted their cookies without effect, tried turning off all adblockers, shut mac down to reboot, nothing seems to have an effect. This is a recent glitch of only several days, prior performance was great. Thanks!

Would you please advise how I could retrieve my passwords ? Thank you so much

I am trying to turn off the message that I get saying "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account". I cannot figure out how to turn this off.

Just make it stop. I reply to deny but it keeps coming up.

Just make it stop.

I don't seem to be able to get threading to work for me in card view. I have downloaded the add on and i am still having challenges. Can you help me understand what i am missing?

I'm having trouble taking the contents of TBird and IMAP-ing it to a Gmail account (~60,000 messages). I have added the Gmail account as per the instructions on these forums including Advanced Config for IMAP and OAuth2, but no messages appear in GMail. Am I missing something obvious? Do both accounts have to be the same UserID? I don't want to mistakenly transfer the contents of an empty GMail account to the TBird account wiping out 20 years of messages. (I do have exports of all messages, btw) I'd be very grateful for any breadcrumbs that point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance. aj
