when I try and add my microsoft outlook account, it redirects to a webpage, which after saying yes a few times with an already signed in session, redirects to localhost 44645. localhost 44645 notably does not seemingly direct to anything, and thunderbird does not change. clicking "continue" re opens the microsoft webpage How should i connect my outlook account? system details; ``` OS: Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 Host: ThinkPad L14 Gen 2a Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic Uptime: 7 hours, 40 mins Packages: 2177 (dpkg) Shell: bash 5.2.21 Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: Cinnamon 6.6.4 WM: Mutter (Muffin) WM Theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua (Mint-Y) Theme: Mint-Y-Aqua [GTK2/3] Icons: Mint-Y-Sand [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.508GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series Memory: 14803MiB ```

1. How to move mail between two different Macbooks with different OSX and different versions of Thunderbirds?

How do I move my email profiles (there are several) from an old Mac to a new one, when the old Mac can't be upgraded anymore and the Thunderbird versions don't match?

Old Macbook OSX Monteray 12.7.4 can not go any higher on OSX due to hardware not being compatible Thunderbird 140.5 Oesr 64 bit - don't know if it can be updated or not, but expect not. Minimizing run time as much as I can because the fan is going nuts and I think the battery is going - gets very hot.

I copied all the different profile folders from the Old Mac to an external drive. However, I don't think I can just plop them in to the new Profiles folder on the New Mac, given the Thunderbird versions and OSX version don't match.

New Macbook OSX Sonoma 14.1 Thunderbird 153.0.2 aarch64 Not updating to Tahoe yet because then I can't use my 2019 MS Office products - need to save up to update those first

All I need is e-mail - not calendars, contacts etc., although it might be nice to to have those Thanks in advance

2. How to .pdf old emails (With attachments) Also, the profiles folder is huge (219 GB), with multiple profiles and I want to save old emails (with attachments) into .pdf and appreciate advice on what .pdf converter/file converter would be best. It doesn't have to be free. It does need to respect my privacy.

I have been using Thunderbird since over 7years on pop. I am facing issue since few days. I Have my personal mail linked to my website hosted on a unix server. I use thunderbird mails latest version. All sent mails were earlier visible in Sent folder. But now since a week only yesterday's mails are visible. All previous mails are in a subfolder by year 2026 in Archive. This makes it difficult to search sent emails. While this is not an issue for the Inbox where I can see emails from 2017.

Please suggest how can I restore all my previously sent emails since always, to my Sent folder.

I found a bug in Thunderbird 153.0.2esr version that wasn't a problem in previous versions. When I drag an email from Thunderbird into a folder in Windows File Explorer (Windows 10 PC), when I drop the email into the folder, I get an error box titled :Error Moving File or Folder", with the contents with a large red X and text "Unspecified error".

The workaround is to right-click the selected email(s) and choose "Save As...".

Anybody else here able to reproduce this and confirm it is a bug?

I have 3 computers. Two are running Windows, and one is running Linux. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Linux Mint has Thunderbird built in. I keep the two Windows computers in sync with a file compare program, "Beyond Compare" Are my local folders compatible between the two operating systems so I can sync my Linux Thunderbird local folders with the ones I have stored in Windows Thunderbird local files?

Are txt files stored the same in both NTFS and ext4 systems?

Since some time my standard number of print copies in Thunderbird has changed from 1 into 2. I have to adapt this number each time I print. How can I change this back?

I have a large number of filters, and an important email was processed to move message into a folder. but the filter had no rule that would apply to the message. all the filter criteria were based on the sender, but that email did not have that sender. the filter log shows the filter being applied anyway. I suspect the filter database is corrupted. How can I fix that? i noticed my version is slightly out of date, and I will update it, but I dont expect that would fix a corrupted filter database .

Cannot add Outlook acct. Found settings automatically - OK. Error: cannot authenticate. Addy has 3 "-" between 3 words - possibly problem Two other Outlook's fine Tried Windows 10 & 11 boxes both fail. Manual config fails. Tried smtp with "." and "-" before "office365.com"

It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Also very slow tagging or untagging a message just in those mailboxes.

Please see attached image of the problem.

I have tried looking on Google for ideas but have not found anything on this or how to fix. Hope someone can please help would be amazing!

400. That's an error

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should be retied. That's all we know.
