how do I delete an email account that was accidentally rpeated? I searched online, but ion the lates version, there is no delete account button that I can find.

also how do I change the order of the accounts?

Considering so many companies have adopted Microsoft Exchange/Outlook365 and their IT departments have locked out other communication protocols, are there any plans to address this in Thunderbird? Right now a lot of us can't use it because of this limitation. The only solutions so far appear to be Owl (for purchase) or DavMail (which requires a separate OpenJDK 8 installation). This is a fundamental need in Thunderbird rather than a third party add-on. I like the look of Thunderbird but, alas, am not able to use it.

Hej :) So I hope I can write my message understandably... :D

We use thunderbird on linux and so far I have my kids account integrated in my thunderbird with a pop-server. I would like to copy the existing account onto their own computer and then switch the server for both to imap. So in the end they and I have access to old emails (received until now with a pop server) and also newly incoming ones with the imap server.

Is this possible or would I lose the emails/screw up the server or the account or sth? And could you outline what I would need to do to get the setup I want?

Thank you so much for your help! Irina

Hello Thunderbirds,

After updating to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Thunderbird can no longer connect to gmx.de (IMAP). What can I do to re-establish the connection?

Thank you Roger

If I delete a Gmail account in TB and create it anew, is there any chance that will mess anything up on the server?

My problem is that every so often TB downloads all the headers in my Inbox, sometimes showing more headers than are in the Inbox. The same thing happens when I do a Repair Folder on Inbox.

I believe it got this way when I did copies in both TB and Gmail, and some messages got multiple Gmail labels. I went into the Gmail account and fixed all those messages, so now all messages on the server have at most one label. But the weird downloads are still happening.

Does it make sense to try deleting the account in TB and putting it back anew?

And is there a way to save and reinstall the account's filters in TB?

Hi,

 My Tbird email has been hacked.  Not suspected but proven.  I have changed the root

email account password - logged in to Tbird and did an attempt to Get Email and it asked me for the password. I provided it and it seemed to work and the password -seemed- to get saved.

 But when I went back in a little later - Tbird asked for the password again.  I did NOT

provide it this time but used a direct browser based email process - that works with the new password. So password confirmed.

 Very concerned about Tbird not saving the new password and re-using it.  Is it  

possible that Tbird itself has been hacked? A virus scan of the entire computer did not show any problems (Norton).

                                                                     - Ideas?   Jim in the PNW

Good morning, I have a problem with my inbox, because after a week Thunderbird deletes my messages on other computers, it works fine, I don't have a pop account, I only have an imap account, I don't have archiving enabled, I don't have any rules, the account has been reconfigured several times, I could find out how to fix it?

I am moving to a new web host and want to backup my emails before I migrate to new host.

Need help with large 23GB profile of data and some steps that will work. I am a bit confused by some things I read and have tried. Important to save files and addresses of important contacts. Have lots of backup drive room, but need to understand proper steps to do this.

I'm a supporter of Tbird and Dev Team.

Thanks, Kelly E McClelland
