I am trying to re-install Thunderbird on my wife's old Gateway desktop. I downloaded version 115.18.0 and tried to install it, but get a message saying it can't be installed because my OS is 32 bit. I thought the SuperNova would work for both 64 and 32 bit OS platforms. (It does work on my Toshiba laptop, which is a 64 bit Win 7 machine.) If this version of Thunderbird will not work, what about the last version that will. It was installed years ago. Thanks, Peter

I have a Hotmail account and multiple gmail accounts. When I try following your (obscure) instructions for changing passwords, the box of passwords is only for my gmail accounts. None for my hotmail.

As Hotmail is very important to me, I'd like to keep accessing it through TB but you make it tough.

I am now not receiving my Hotmail mail and as I get too much traffic 200+ msgs a day, it will build. Please send simple, direct instructions on how to find and change the hotmail password, thank you.

My computer suddenly started the above error message for multiple programs. The local computer shop was able to sort out what appeared to be the root cause and that recovered some things but I still needed to reinstall a number of programs.

The program I am terrified of reinstalling is Thunderbird. All my emails on five email accounts since 2011 are stored in TB and I naturally do not want to lose any of them.

The major problems are the computer is running Win7 Enterprise and I am 82 years old so I am prone to needing things spelt out in greater detail than many others.

Can anyone provide a way to reset the program permissions (preferable) or identify the best way to reinstall and still access all my historic emails?

Thank you

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 102.15.1 on my laptop and have a problem with right-click menus on folder names.

The menu appears for a brief instant and then disappears. If I move the mouse cursor slightly then it is redrawn and behaves normally.

Is this a known problem, i.e. requiring a further upgrade?

This is the screen I get when I follow the instructions from the first denial screen:

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

the last time I received an email update on my desktop PC (Win 7 Pro) was 4:08PM (yes, PM) for one account and 4:44AM (yes, AM) for the other account. On my phone, the 4:08PM is the same but the other email account recd an update at 3:17PM.
