I tried posting a thread but unfortunately I didn't got any traction. Maybe I've explained myself in a not so clear way? I'm going to try again, hoping to getting better luck this time around. Here it goes.

Big profile backup is out of control when restored. I'm on OSX.

Backup is a normal zip file of the profile folder, created on the same machine.

I know in theory, I should just create a new profile, quit TB, and then replace the contents of the newly created profile with my backup's contents. Next time I start it up, I should see my profiles' content.

However, that doesn't happen. And this is what I've seen after several dozen (?) times attempting it:

[list] [*] the first time starting after the restore, it takes a while to start. Then I'm shown a series INBOXes named with '-n' at the end, for an arbitrary (?) number of n. Such as 'INBOX', 'INBOX-1', ..., 'INBOX-25', some 3 to 5, others 40 or 50.

The last, according to this numbering, appears to be the one that contains the actual Inbox with messages. This happens in almost all accounts in the profile (about two thirds). I can also see several 'INBOX-n.msf' files (1kb) in the filesystem, with one corresponding final 'INBOX-n' file. This, as one could guess at this point, was not part of the original backup.

[*] after restarting TB, it takes even longer, and I lose access to all other folders. Everything below the account name disappears, except for the 'INBOX' that remains listed as a folder in the left pane, and when clicked on, shows no messages, none. For every account.

[*] every subsequent restart is then very quick, and I don't get access to the folders anymore. Even the maimed access the first time around seems now to be gone. There are only the empty INBOX folders, again and again./list

Profile folder size goes from ~24GB to ~16GB throughout this, though in TB's folder pane, it looks as empty as it could be.

I've repeated this dozens of times, with two different profiles which lead to the same result.

I might have tried a restore once on Windows machine to test it out, a long time ago, which I think went smoothly. So I can't vouch for it now, but I'd guess the problem is in OSX. Which is a problem, because it's what I'm using.

Am I doing something wrong? Does it have anything to do with permissions? What can I do to get this restore working? Anyone experienced the same on OSX?

I feel silly going through the trouble of backing up weekly, don't feel safe at all by failing to restore these backups. When I need the backup, I don't think I'm going to have one. I've had a few scares, and one of these days, it's bound to happen.

Below are the pictures when I restore this backup in OSX, in the first run it shows a corrupted folder structure, and from then on I have no access to the emails anymore.

Would appreciate any help with this long running issue.

Here's the pictures of the situation:

Help Please! I created some filters which where supposed to move email with a specific subject to a folder named the same as the subject. For instance there are filters named Mountain Hardware, Union Bay, and one named advertisement. They weren't working as expected so I opened the filter menu and changed Run Selected Filter On folder to Mountain Hardware. I received a message saying it wasn't working or failed, I don't remember exactly what the message said. Then I noticed I didn't have any mail in my inbox. I looked for the mail and it appears all mail is going to folder named 'Advertisement'. Of course the first goal would be to recover my inbox, then it would be nice to figure out how to make filters work for me without breaking Thunderbird. Thanks, Scott

I cannot seem to get auto reply to work. I am running thunderbird on Linux Mint.

First I created a template with a subject of "reply" and a text body of "reply test". The "From:" field defaults to contain my email address and the "To:" field is blank.

I created a filter with 3 actions.

• Reply with Template: reply
• Set Priority: High
• Tag Message: Reply

When I receive an email, the filter does run. The message shows up with the appropriate tag and priority. But the Auto Reply does not return to the sender. I have tried from multiple senders.

Anyone have any ideas what I am doing wrong or is this a known bug in Thunderbird on Linux?

I have trouble logging into Yahoo email using Firefox, since the last update. It gives error message that site cannot be reached. I can go into settings, Privacy and clear data and then it logs in just fine, but to do this EVERY time I try to log in is a real PITA. Does not happen on other browsers.

I posted a few days ago that all but the essential IMAP folders shared with Thunderbird (via Apple IMAP) had disappeared.

No one responded, OK, I'll try some stuff.

So I created new folders in Thunderbird, then when the showed on Apple, copied from one folder to the new one.

But when Thunderbird shuts down and restarts, even the newly created folders disappear.

Something is very wrong with this new release!

Thunderbird has been running slow and locking up frequently. I just completed a complete Bitdefender scan of my computer. It is reporting that there are Trojans and showing them in my TB profiles.

If I tell Bitdefender to clear it out, I get a message that says to manually delete the attachments from the email client but it doesn't tell me where they are.

How do I get rid of the trojans without loosing years worth of email messages?

From the log, I have a lot that look like this: C:\Users\Linda Dickinson\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\vus1oehd.Linda-3\Mail\Local Folders\Archive.sbd\Darol.sbd\Darol-2021=>message 363719: [Date: 26 Mar 2021 01:40:23 -0700] [From: CHEN XIAOYU>info@chinaporousfilters.com] [Subject: Re:: PROFORMA INVOICE AND BANK DETAILS]=>[Subject: Re:: PROFORMA INVOICE AND BANK DETAILS][Date: 26 Mar 2021 01:40:23 -0700]=>INVOICE 25667833822..rar=>INVOICE 25667833822..exe Trojan.GenericKD.45974407

By a lot, I mean over 5K. I know I could run a search in thunderbird for that Subject line and delete them. But there are many many different subjects. The PROFORMA INVOICE one seems to be the vast majority of them though.

When I reinstalled firefox, I had a complete sync on my Tablet (chrome), and my phone (Android).

I signed in using Authy as the MPA. my account came back as blank. I thought wierd. Then signed in again to my phone, It was also blanked, even though it showed previous website visits than no longer were in the profile.

I know have one device (Chrome book). with a complete profile and book mark list, along with passwords etc. Dont wanna sync, as it will wipe that as well. How can I get it to populate correctly.

From Chrome to Android etc.

This problem has been posted a number of times and I've gotten no solution. About 3 weeks ago, I lost all my tabs when closing down my Mac. I have the function to have tabs when resigning on (it's worked fine for years), Also, all my desktop icons are increased in size to 1" by 3/4". Also, cannot download another browser. This is MOST irritating. Sometimes the answer I got from Mozilla was to connect with aa screen icon, but I didn't have the icon. I have download a new Firefox----no resolution. Last night I uploaded to Big Sur 11.75 I need good technical help. Dorothy

Trying to create new "list" in my Twitter account. First click in the Twitter procedure brings up a Firefox box <Continue to Firefox accounts>. How can I get rid of this and continue with the Twitter procedure? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how this could happen?

see: Thunderbird not sending with Gmail POP3 SOLVED

See 21 March.

Well, after I thought I had fixed my Problem, I got a big surprise. A friend came by and I was explaining what I did so we had a look at the Account Settings. When I pulled up the SMTP settings I noticed that the Port selection had been changed back to 587. I checked the other Gmail accounts and they too had reverted to 587. Bear in mind, I had previously changed all the accounts SMTP ports to the default, 465. Now, the question is, “How did the ports revert to 587. 587 is the port chosen when Thunderbird sets up a gmail account even though it shows the default as 465. Does anyone know how this could happen? Joe

I am not sure how to describe this problem I am having with Firefox, e.g., when I tap Ebay icon it goes to Ebay BUT only in Spanish? Will not allow me to do anything but view everything in Spanish? This just happened several days ago and I am suspicious that I have been hacked? This only happens as far as I can tell with Ebay? Now add this to equation, happens with Google browser also? However, it does not happen with Microsoft Edge, with ME I can get to Ebay in english?

I don't know how to fix this, one more thing, even when I do a search on web for Ebay I only get the search for Ebay in Spanish - in other words I cannot get to Ebay english? Tell me what is wrong here?

I try to open Roblox from Firefox and when I attempt to play a game I get a prompt and I choose Roblox, then click OK, but then it doesn't seem to get passed to the application as it simply opens the home page in the app.

I am using Firefox Nightly if that helps.

I have been using Sync to keep my data backed up for the last 3 months. I got a new computer and logged in expecting Sync would bring my data in. To my surprise, NOTHING! All my open tabs, all my book marks, history, saved passwords... GONE!

And I can't go to the old computer because it has been turned in.

Where is my data?

I have been a Firefox user for years and use it on both my iOS and macOS. I know that once you delete/close a tab in private browsing, it goes away for good in most cases. However, on this occasion, I never closed or deleted any of my tabs that I have held for months and months organizing my tabs for years.

Today, when I opened my Firefox on iOS, all my tabs (both private and regular) were gone. And I cannot find a way to get them back.
