Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Had to wipe old Win 11 due to corruption. When setting up from scratch, I use 3 gmail accounts. However when I downloaded Tbird, trying to set up myt 3 gmail accounts, Gmail will NOT authorize Tbird. I have tried all advice that I've seen on forums and on YouTubes. None work. Contacting Gmail is impossible. Forums are not providing any solutions. Does anyone have a proven fix? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

I have Thunderbird on two PCs. Thunderbird stopped working on my older PC, Lenovo Z40, Windows 10. I uninstalled Thunderbird on that PC and tried to reinstall. I have downloaded the set up file, but when I open it tells me I need a Microsoft safe app and sends me to Edge browser. I looked at help website but can't see how to overcome this step to get to what is described on the Tunderbird UTube video. I have downloaded the Thunderbird set up file using Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers. Same problem each time. Thanks

Hello Dear People,

I have been using Thunderbird to great satisfaction. When my computer of 10 1/2 years died, I started to use old laptop of my son who made me the second user. I d/l Thunderbird on my account and it all went well till a few days ago. No Thunderbird. I d/l again, profile not found/inaccessible. I did see advice here from last year, looking for the profile under Users, app data, roaming etc. but to no avail. There is no profile.

How to solve this problem? Also after d/l the set-up, the thumbnail looks strange, like half of the image as shown in the picture. I tried d/l a few times, same result. I was very content with the program. I want Thunderbird back!

Thank you for your advice! Dorith

Hey, I would like to move my thunderbird profile (including all the old emails) from my old PC to a new MacBook. Before I buy the MacBook, I would like to verify that this is indeed feasible. I have migrated my Thunderbird profile from PC to PC and found it very intuitive. Is it essentially the same process for migrating the profile from PC to the MacBook? I assume the folder would be slight different but there will no not be a conflict due to the data format, right? I would be grateful for a brief confirmation / some advise. Thank you! Simon

My Windows 10 desktop failed and went into a shop for repair. I have years of Thunderbird messages on it. The repair is complete and Thunderbird is working well again.

However, for several weeks I was only able to send and receive messages via my ISP Webmail. I would now like to move these messages into Thunderbird on my repaired desktop computer.

I cannot find an elegant way to do this. I know I send forward or resend all of these messages from Webmail to the main address on the desktop and then move them into the appropriate In or Out folders. But, I have downloaded all of these messages onto a flash drive and would like to use it to load the messages.

I would appreciate any advice about the best way to do this.

Thank you in advance.

Over the last several months I struggled to get Thunderbird to allow me to set up email accounts for POP3 mail handling. For now, I have the accounts added using IMAP mail handling; however, in trying to fix the problem I removed and reinstalled Thunderbird a number of times. As a result, I seem to have lost all my contacts. To be more precise, there are no entries when I click on Address Book.

I have a dim recollection of having read that TB saves multiple Profiles and that Profiles contain many things including downloaded email and address books. I hope that is the case and that there might exist an older version of a Profile that contains my address book. If that is true, I need help finding the older Profiles, determining if they contain my address book, and recovering the address book without disturbing my current TB install.

Can anyone confirm or deny my supposition? If confirmed, can anyone tell me how to go about recovering my address book? I'm running TB v.115.7.0 on Windows 10. I believe I'm up to date on both.

TIA

Hello, I moved Thunderbird data to a new computer according to your instructions via a USB drive On the target computer everything goes well until point 9 of your instructions. "Choose to replace your current data when prompted." However, this screen does not appear. I open Thunderbird, but then only the screen to enter the email data appears. So Thunderbird does not open with complete data. What do I do? I'm wrong.

One of my 3 emails is not downloading after not being on computer for 2 months.Other 2 work fine. On settings for that account the syn in the menu is not showing? Shows on the other two. On start up it downloaded messages but they don't show? Several had some malware that my antimalware took care of. Messaged downlload just fine on my phone for that account.

Internode have stopped providing email services, and are using The Messaging Company. I want to re-estiblish my Thunderbird account that I was using previously. Can someone explain (simply please) how to re-activate? Many thanks Sue

Having trouble transferring local folders, address' and calendar to new computer. Have followed the Mozella instructions and the only folders transferred are Hold and Trash which are a fraction of the folders I have. What am I doing wrong?

I have a large number of subfolders in my @gmail.com/All Mail. Using version 102 and all previous versions for many years with few problems. I have tried to update to SuperNova a couple of times. It takes my All Mail folder and divides it into two identical 'Archives/@gmail.com/All Mail' folders and half of my subfolders are in one of them and the others are in the second one. There is no rhyme or reason as to which ones it decides to seperate as far as I can tell. It makes it time consuming and inconvenient to find what i want, especially as it now runs off the page despite choosing Compact view. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

I know there are instructions on how to copy certain folders from the old computer to the new one, but I have a slightly different question. I removed the hard drive from the old computer and have it in a case where I can now attach the old drive via a USB connection, to the new computer. If I were to copy the entire C: partition from the old computer to the new one, would that take care of getting all the Thunderbird folders where they need to be on the new computer? I pretty much need to do this anyway for all my other non-Thunderbird folders.

Thanks in advance for any help.

When installing 115, I get to a page that says "Just one more step! Finish installing, and start enjoying Thunderbird." But there is no "Finish" or similar button. What do I do?

I successfully logged in using oauth2. But after I clicked the "allow" button on the oauth2 page of google. However, after that, I still see "unable to log in at serve. Probably wrong configuration, username or passward".

I found on your website that I can edit subject lines of e-mails I received using the add on (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1155148) .

I downloaded the add on, but unfortunately the

link 'how to install' goes to ? gets me a: Not Found . The requested URL was not found on this server. (http://xenos-email-notes.simplesite.com/416814616)

Since my computer does not know what to do with the downloaded file I need help on how to install the add on. Thanks

All of a sudden 4-5 days ago I no longer can receive my Washington Post, only way is to scroll way down to last known one. What in blazes is going on at Tbird? Who is responsible? Is there anyone who can put it back at once? Yes my subscription is valid. If all of you refuse my small request, it means I have to PAY my own tech support, which is not fair of you. I don't care who messed it up; I only want my paper back NOW. I have noticed that Tbird is now run by volonteers; is that the problem? PLEASE help. Thank you
