Local folders were in default location on C: drive, 128GB SSD boot drive. Installed a 1TB SSD as D: drive. Want to use D: for local folders. When changed local drive to D: lost access to default Local Drive. Can't reconnect as location not visible in file explorer. Want to move local folder from C: to D:.

When I chose a color for a phrase in my email, I accidentally added a color I don't want to the list of custom colors. It was a shade off. How can I delete this so that I won't use it again?

Am I remembering wrong, or previous versions of Thunderbird would allow for "viewing" server certificate exceptions added. (Settings>Privacy>Certificate Manager>Servers).

I need to review some certificates installed manually. If there is any other easy way to "open" and review certificates somewhere I am not aware of, I would appreciate pointers to it.

Thanks in advance!

[ 128.12.0esr (64-bit) / Thunderbird Nebula / Linux; but I have seen the same behavior in a windows machine ]

I am a user of Mac. I installed Outlook for Mac. Can we import .pst .olm files to Thunderbird ? Will it support or not ? Assume it supports what option should we choose in Imports among the 5 options given ? .PST which Option ? .OLM which option ?

As the subject indicates, when I right click Local Folders, and select Mark All Folders Read, nothing happens. It worked fine two days ago, but not so now. If I right click an individual folder, such as Inbox, or a sub-folder, and choose mark folder read, it works fine.

I have not changed my settings on my computer, yet for some reason I now get an smtp error when trying to send and email. I followed the instructions as best as I could. If I cannot get this fixed I will have to change email provider. Charles

Continually receiving this message "Login to server mail.talktalk.net with username aohl3894@tiscali.co.uk failed". It then says that it cannot connect to server SMTP.talktalk.net This has been like this since 23rd June. It seems that i can receive on Thunderbird, but not not send.

Can both receive and send on Talktalk.mail

When I want to forward a link, article, or anything really, I get a box that asks if I want to install Thunderbird, which is already installed, and clicking on buttons for exit, or anything else doesn't work, nothing except moving to forward to install it again. Which I have tried, and that doesn't work, either. I am just stuck!

Hello! I used the automatic setting up of Thunderbird and it all appears alright with one notable exception. Inbox on the server (webmail.aruba.it) is synchronized with Thunderbird on my laptop i.e. when I receive messages I can see them both when logging into the server as well as locally on Thunderbird. However, sent e-mails from the server webmail.aruba.it I cannot see (are not stored locally on Thunderbird). Interestingly enough, though, if I send a message from Thunderbird (locally) I can see it synced in the "sent" folder on webmail.aruba.it. Could you help?

I am moving thunderbird account to a new computer. After downloading and getting to login screen, I click 'done'. The programme only starts to re-assess/re-test the config. This happens whether manual or automatic configuration is chosen. When I click 'done', it only goes to find the config again. It does not begin importing the profile/account/emails.

I waited a few times ... so it could download the emails/profile/account - nothing happens. No 'progress bar' appears.

How do I get the programme to begin loading on this computer? Thank you in advance

My AOL account has a single SPAM folder; however, in Thunderbird, the contents of that folder are divided between the folders Bulk and Trash. In synchronization settings, I don't see the "Spam" folder of AOL, and in fact when I subscribe or check Synchronization & Storage I don't see the simple "Spam" folder that is on AOL. I don't have ANY filters active in my AOL account in Thunderbird or directly on AOL. I've been using AOL since its inception, and Thunderbird for as long as I can remember as well. I'm not sure when the folder structure of my AOL account on Thundbird changed, probably a couple of years ago. It's not a huge thing, but I'm thinking that if not resolved it could turn into a huge thing.

I'd like to just have the single SPAM folder under my AOL account in Thunderbird just like it is on AOL. No need for it to be split into Bulk and Trash.

My tags stopped working, right click -> Tag no longer has the list of tags, although 'Manage Tags' shows my list of tags and 'New Tag' applies the tag to the selected message, but no tags appear on right click-> Tag list. I'm using Mac OS Version 15.5 and Thunderbird 139.0.2 and have rebooted and reinstalled Thunderbird to no effect. Thanks for any help you may have!

Recently I noticed that in ALL of my Local Folders, I can no longer see any of the content. The headers show like normal, but I cannot open / read the content (presumably contained therein).

I have tried repairing individual folders, but nothing changes.

I have tried eliminating the .msf file, but nothing changes. A new .msf file is created, but the content is still not visible.

If I try and reply to a local email, the email is empty with the exception of the subject. Even though it shows the sender of the email (i.e. From), neither the email address nor the email content is copied into the reply.

I am slowly starting to worry that the individual files storing the email content are corrupt, but if I open the content file (i.e. non-.msf file) with Word, I get what I presume is the first / oldest email, but nothing more (even though the files are many MB large).

Is it significant that I have both "Local Folders" and "Local Folders.sbd" (as folders)? The content within them appears to be similar if not identical.

My email is stored on a NAS which I can access from any computer on my network (presuming I have set up Thunderbird appropriately); can this contribute to the issue?

Any other ideas which might lead to such an annoying issue? I really don't want to have lost all my emails for the past 20+ years.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you make.

My desktop computer died, so I needed to copy all my data files from backup (which worked fine) and then install all the apps that I regularly run on my laptop. When I installed Thunderbird, I got the latest Release 139.02. It behaves very differently from what I think is called the "Classic View" that was running on my Desktop. I REALLY hate it, but can't figure out how to set the Thunderbird parameters to do that. My problems include:

-- Overview of Thunderbird "Views". I can't find any documentation that explains [a] the various viewing options that Thunderbird offers and [b] EXACTLY how to set them.

-- Release Notes. I haven't found any release notes to explain when/why a major change to view was done.

-- Periodically, even for same release, Thunderbird CHANGES my parameter settings. Most annoying is changing the General Message-List settings to "Show Only Display Names For People in My Address Book". I live in a retirement community where many husbands & wives share the same Email address. With this setting, Thunderbird shows the name associate with the first message I received from this Email address. So the heading doesn't show which person actually sent it (although I can make a good guess when Thunderbird is telling me it came from a dead person. [g]

Is there ANY way I can get Release 139.0.2 to display messages the way I've been seeing them for at least 10 years? I REALLY need help. (If I can't get Thunderbird to behave the way I want, seem like I might as well switch to reading/writing messages directly from Google Gmail web site. It's equally lacking in documentation, but I suppose that eventually I could figure it out.)

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can offer.GMail, I'd seriously consider switch to using Gmail directly without Thunderbird.)

I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.
