Want to clear the 'RIGHT CLICK MOVE EMAIL TO FOLDER LIST ' THAT ACCUMULATES OVER TIME . lIST GETS TOO LONG. Searched thoroughly for an answer but found none.

 Please respond if you know how to clear this list. 

Merry Xmas Mike

I have an existing Tbird account for my Gmail emails. Have set up a new Tbird account for my Outlook email account. Would like to move all emails, including folders and subfolders, to my new Outlook Tbird account (with the intent of closing my Gmail account altogether).

Would appreciate learning the steps to ensure the emails, folders, and subfolders are moved from Tbird Gmail account to Tbird Outlook account

In the past I could manage whether I needed a password for inbound and outbound emails. Now I can' t seem to find where I can manage this. Want to keep a password requirement to receive / read inbound emails, but NOT require a password when sending (outbound) emails.

Thank you.

HI, I have two email addresses on Thunderbird, one I have lost (not main one) including all downloaded emails for that address. I did some "tidying up" in settings, by deleting some items that had a dustbin next to them thinking they were junk (mistake?). Win 10 pro. Thunderbird 146.0.1 -32 bit. But most everything else on laptop is 64 bit. If you can help please, to restore address and/or get all old emails for this address resent. I have tried to open the same address, by typing it in, but it downloads nothing. However I do keep getting the message to input the password, sometimes for both my addresses?

I'm back with an old problem.

When filtering email, it gets interrupted with the error message of:

"The folder "xxxx" could not be found, so filters associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists, and that filters point to a valid destination folder."

Yes, the folder exists.

The previous solution was to change the mail server to imap.googlemail.com. I did that, but connectivity to it has become erratic (it services Germany, Poland, and Russia).

Is there anything else I can do besides use the imap.gmail.com server and keep reenabling the mail filters?

How do you look down through your emails and select multiples to delete? the answers I've found involve highlighting and deleting a bunch in a row. What about when there are a couple of keepers in the mix?

I am trying to send a message to my cousin Gundula Loude whose e-mail address is gcloude@bluewin.ch. Unfortunately, the message is blocked for a reason I do not understand. There has been one other e-mail complaining about this problem but I do not understand why the blocking still prevails. Can you investigate and let me know how I get round this deliberate blocking.

Had a helpful suggestion from Matt but he reckons everyone who has this problem sends messages by using CTRL + enter. I always use the 'send' button. Any other ideas?

I occasionally receive HEIC as attachments. Opening the attachment defaults to my Adobe Acrobat which also cannot open HEIC. Is it possible to set the default open to Paint or something in Win11? Thanks.

1 How can the list "recent folders" in the icon "store in" be sorted alphabetically? (sorry, my version of Thunderbird speaks German) It used to be alphabetically, but now is sorted chronologically.

2 I cordially suggest to add a function exactly like this one, but with item at my own disposal (maybe the favorite folders).

Thanks, Martin

Thunderbird doesn't carry over calendar events alerts/reminders after updates to it or reboots generally, at least in Ubuntu (24.04).

I expected my events and reminders to carry over even after updates and computer reboots. They don't. I missed an important appointment because of that oversight. Thunderbird used to work.

I doubt that there's an existing fix for this, so Thunderbird Calendar needs to be updated so that Calendar events alerts don't disappear after updates or reboots. Meanwhile, I'm looking around for email and calendar apps that don't have this problem.

Thanks

I kept seeing a message saying my libero account had failed to connect to server even though messages were still coming in (and going out?) but then my sent Folder started having gaps and messages not recorded. I decided to delete the account before re-entering it. Now, when I try to renter the details the 'new' account fails to appear and there is an error message saying 'incoming server already exists. Perhaps I didn't cancel enough when I deleted - there were 2 options, I think, but how do I now delete this 'preexisting' server connection which is blocking me???

Just out of the blue I found my local folders emails missing or I should say I wanted to put them back where I had them. It appears one drive had been messing with them. I had them in a folder on my desktop so I know they got backed up when I did a manual backup with an image using ms backup tool. I do not want to use one drive but it appears TB gets an error when I think I am pointing to the correct folder. How do I undo one drive and put my folders back? Unfortunately I do not have a recent image that have emails in them that are recent and want to save. I also had local outlook pst files on my local drive TB folder Any advice appreciated.

I don't know if something has changed since the last time I downloaded a .ics file into thunderbird or not.

I used to be able to load a .ics file directly into 'events' in my calendar. But something has changed. When I download the file now it gives it the name "Zul52mNeovl5. Which happens to be the name of the file I'm downloading from. So now I have 3 options of where to put the file - Events, Tasks or this filename. I can't find this file anywhere on my computer. How do I get rid of it?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

My 'sent mail' has suddenly all disappeared - although still on the mail file server. Inbox mail is fine - but if I send a test message to myself, I get the reply, but the sent message is not saveb. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird twice, n - the second time deleting the Mozilla folder under C:\users and then rebooting This happened whilst I was using Thunderbird. I have used Thunderbird for years without problems I have run a virus scan with Malwarebytes, but no problmes showed up. All folders are still vixible on my iPhone

I am about to try reinstalling again. I don't want to have to change email clients.

Any help much appreciated.. Thank you Joan Kemp

Have TB on my laptop (146.0.1 (64-bit) on Win11) all set up the way I want it. Would like to "clone" those settings/profiles to my desktop. AI site said, "Copy profiles folder and profiles.ini to the new machine." Didn't work. Asking me to set up from scratch. Laptop is on "standard" edition, think desktop is on beta. Is that the problem? What do I need to do?

Sent mail has suddenly vanished, even though it is still on the originating file server. This happened very suddenly. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, but no change. I am about to reboot PC to see if this will solve the problem. Very strange!
