Hi Just changed computers and have Thunderbird 102.8.0 64bit installed. All emails present and correct. Trouble is all my addresses are gone. I backed it up from the old computer using MozBackup. I know its old, but not sure how else to do it. Anyhow, although everything else came across from the back up, the email addresses didnt. I thought it might be in my Google account, but that seems to just have all the names but no addresses?? Any ideas??

Hi,

I'd like to archive my recently passing family member hotmail account.

I setup Hotmail (using POP) with Thunderbird MacOSX already (with the hope that I can just backup the user profile to the cold storage).

The thing is, I cannot see the "SENT" folder locally.

I tried to create a new folder "SENT" and point the setting (Copies & Folders > place a copy in) to use that "SENT" folder, but after sync, nothing appears on that folder.

I saw a similar request raised (here), but in that scenario, the person is using IMAP; while I'm using POP.

Is there any setting that I missed?

Thanks

Hello: I seem to have made an error when setting up my Gmail account in Thunderbird. Thunderbird shows all of my Gmail correctly, but when I log into Gmail on my phone and iPad, all of the mail is gone. Can you help a newbie fix this mistake? I'd like to setup Gmail and Thunderbird so that they are both in synch. Thank you!!

Hi, I have Thunderbird running on old pc (Windows 10) with a few years of emails I need to be able to access.

I have a new Windows 11 and want to download these emails from the server onto my pc.

I follow article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1282954, but my new PC doesn't have the option "Account Settings > Synchronization & Storage" (it does on the old) instead it has 'Disk Space' in the same place in the option list.

Waht am I missing?

If not, how do I transfer the mail file from the old pc to the new pc (maintaing the folder structure etc...

Regards

Hi all I recently bought a new laptop that has to be exchanged as it's faulty. I had no problem moving my profile from my win 10 laptop to the new win 11 one, however I now need to put all my emails back to my old laptop and although I can go through the import procedure when I restart Thunderbird none of the new emails are there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Version 102.2.2 goes "unresponsive" when I click get messages for several minutes, eventually will download one or two emails, but they are ones I have already deleted, and occur multiple times. Can I go back to version 91? Where can I get the install file? Since the problem started with the update its a problem with it, not antivirus software. There are no other programs using significant cpu time while t'bird is unresponsive. This is critical, I will have to find another email program if you don't fix this soon.

Hello, my computer died but before it did i backed up my Thunderbird profile files - the backup is 77.8GB so big to zip using export. I installed Thunderbird v.102.8.0 64 bit; and copied my backed up files over and now my email account list shows when clicking the dropdown arrow next to "get messages" but the email account list (72 email accounts) does not show in the left hand pane.

I have attached images of what I see, what is showing in app data - both local and roaming, and also of both .ini files.

Using the troubleshooting setting the software is pointing to the correct location.

I would truly appreciate your help.

Thank you,

I use Dropbox to keep files synchronized between my Windows 11 (right now running Thunderbird 115.5.1 64-bit) and Debian Linux 12 (running Thunderbird 115.5.0 64-bit).

It appears that there is some incompatibility between the Profile structure in these two versions of Thunderbird. I conclude that I need a strategy for keeping versions the same on the two machines.

Are there web pages containing installation files (Windows and Linux) for all the recent versions of Thunderbird? For example right now I would like to find 115.5.1 64-bit to upgrade the Linux version.

TIA- Phil

I am running Thunderbird on my PC, with two accounts, both on IMAP mail.

I want to run Thunderbird on my laptop as well, with exactly the same interface and accounts.

Can I copy the profile and ini from my PC to my laptop? Will this work?

Hi there! I'm having trouble attaching files and gaining acces to local files on my computer in general. When trying to attach, the bathing bubble (Mac) appears for 5-10 seconds, then nothing happens. Have tried to search through help forums and Googled, but haven't found any description of this problem. Thank you in advance, Andreas

I have done many searches via Google on how to migrate Outlook 2016 Address Book(s) to Thunderbird and have not found one that does the job.

I did find a suggestion to use Thunderbird V31.8.0 to migrate the Outlook Messages & Addresses. This worked; however, then could not find a way to do a clean migration on up to V91.10.01.

Any good solutions (free) that will work?

Hello, I moved from TB 102 to 115 some months ago. I've just noticed that TB appears two times in my Win10 22H2 Apps & Features:

I'm tempted to use Uninstall on the 102.3.0 occurrence but I don't want to mess things up. What is the best way to remove the duplicate in Apps & Features? Thanks.

Thunderbird won't allow me to send messages after I upgraded from 31.8 to 78.14.0. The Send button is not enabled, though I do have an internet connection and have been able to receive messages. I'm pretty sure I gave the upgrade the correct email password (the same one I gave it yesterday when I installed 31.8, and which worked). Is there a way to troubleshoot or fix the problem?

I downloaded Thunderbird 102.4 and upgraded from the previous version(which was whatever the previous most recent release on the release channel was). It's copied/restored most of my folders and their contents but some now have headers only and some mailboxes now only have titles and no contents. I log onto two different mailservers for email but there seem to be problems and successes for both servers so it all seems a bit random. Just wondering what's happened and has anyone else experienced this? I shut down the computer and when I started up the following day and the missing emails had returned - so if you have this problem maybe a restart would sort it.

Hi

My name is Ivo. I use Thunderbird for all my Email-Accounts. Now I wanted to add another one, which is info@ivo-zimmermann.ch, but it does not work (pls see screenshots in the attachment).

info@ivo-zimmermann.ch works fine when I login directly on Gmail, it also worked fine to login here into the mozilla support. Also all other accounts that I have (for example info@kanai-zimmermann.ch) were no problem to install.

Do you have an idea where the problem is?

Thank you in advance Ivo

Hi, In a new Windows 11 PC Thunderbird 115.81.1 (64-bit) was installed. Then I did /Server Settings/Message storage/Local Directory/F:Mail

The F:\Mail is an external USB-drive. The left pane then showed two main folders:

x@y.no Local Folders

In both of these there is an Inbox sub-folder. The one under "Local Folders" shall be set as the "Global Inbox". In many pages on the web, e.g. a MozillaZine page, it is explained how to do this. The key point here is to navigate to the "Server Settings" and clock on the "Advanced button".

My problem is that there is none; see the uploaded image.

Could anyone, please, tell me where I did my error?

Best regards; ChG
