Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

On the 20, of October I was forced to re install Windows 10. Kept my data but I had to re install all my apps. With Thunderbird I follow the same procedure I used with Firefox: After installation I copied the profile folder from my backup and replaced the new one. That worked out well. With Thunderbird, I followed the same procedure, all my emails where there but not my local folders. I am attaching several snapshots to illustrate my steps. Image 1 "local folders now" Image 2 "Profile Folder". (why there are 2 sub-folders)? Image 3 "Mail in the profile folder" Image 4 " List of folders in my Local Folders" The are there, how do I get them back on Thunderbird in the correct place "Local Folders"? Thank you for your help again. Regards Ilio Pieroni

Hello, I’m experiencing an issue when saving email messages as .eml files from Thunderbird.

When I save a message to a network storage folder (for example, a shared drive or NAS), the file seems to save correctly, but when I try to reopen it later, the content is completely blank — the message body is missing.

If I save the same email to my desktop or a local folder, the file opens perfectly and displays all content as expected.

Environment details:

Thunderbird version: 140.3.1esr

Operating system: Windows 11

Network storage type: NAS

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Could this be related to file permissions, encoding, or how Thunderbird handles .eml files on network paths?

Thank you for your help!

My laptop fried and I have it currently in the computer ER. They are attempting to salvage the information from the hard drive, but it my take a week to complete this process. I have purchased a new laptop and I am close to completing loading just about everything. I have installed Thunderbird, but because I did not have a clean backup I have no local recovery for Thunderbird. Is there by any chance a way that there could be a way to find a recovery file for my Thunderbird? Rebuilding the calendar and the address book is going to be like walking in 4 feet of soft sand at high tide at the beach.

Thank you, Richard Germain

I use Thunderbird to access my Hotmail account. I normally work on my Desktop Windows 11 system but have a laptop Windows 11 which I seldom access email with. When I just tried to update the laptop Thunderbird mail I eventually get the Thunderbird message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox". There is enough free space on my drive and it succeeded writing 10522 messages before it came to a halt. I notice that the desktop is at 140.4.0 and the laptop is at 144.0.1 and help says they are both up to date.

Since the Desktop mail is up to date it would seem the quick solution is to replace the mail folder on the laptop with a copy of the mail folder from the desktop. Will this be a problem since they seem to be at different versions. Version 140.4.0 on the Desktop and 144.0.1 on the laptop.

Hi, I've set up TB successfully on a new PC and been using it a while. Then I noticed my local folders archive group of subfolders was missing. I followed some instructions about moving local folders file across from the old to the new version.

Now I see the individual archive folders without the folder group name 'archive'.

Also, there are a couple of other files not visible on the new platform although they were in the original installation local files and were copied across.

I was careful to ensure the same version running on both PCs. Also that TB was closed when copying files across.

Any pointers appreciated!

First I beg your indulgence for my approximative enclise ! Some years ago I used thunderbird on an old MacBook Pro getting mails from pop servers. Indeed I can do an export of thèse mails but I have some questions : First : does an export contains my 2 accounts ? Second : how can i see thèse export ? Must I réinstall Thunderbird and import ? Must I keep pop access or can I use imap ? Is there a reader of thèse exports ???? Your expérience will be a good help

I have my gmail account on Thunderbird on Windows 10 and Pop_OS. The Windows has local folders the Pop does not. What happens to the emails on the machine without? I was trying to make room on Windows for a dualboot. I copied everthing to usb then accidentally deleted my user files. 1)How do I recover the local folders from the usb? And/or 2)Do I even need to since I have Thunderbird on Pop? My concern is that, since I set up local folders on Windows, that those emails never got sent to the Pop machine. Otherwise, they all might be there and I just have to locate them which means I don't have to restore the Windows emails.

Hi, I have used Mozilla Thunderbird to receive my emails from Google's gmail for several years now. I have created many folders in Thunderbird, to store many of my incoming emails in. Recently, I had to purchase a new computer with Windows 11 installed, as I had used Windows 10 for many years on my old, now outdated computer. Is there a way to retrieve my folders from Thunderbird, so that I can have them on my new computer, or are they lost forever? I have my hard drive from my old computer, so would they be on that hard drive somewhere? Thank you.

I have successfully moved over several email addresses and then the last one stumped me! I am receiving emails on that account but only 1 of the 9 folders came over. I have tried manually adding the folders but I get error messages from TB indicating that the outlook server cannot find the folders. There are old emails in those folders that I will eventually need migrated over. What am I missing?

Also, I am required to enter my password each time I open emails from the SmarterASP email server. That is going to get old. How can I stop this?

Please help me – Thunderbird not recognizing mail files for a pop3 I am using Thunderbird version 115.10.1 with Windows 10 I have multiple pop3 accounts I deleted one of those accounts in Thunderbird to test another email software. I then deleted that software and added that pop3 account back to Thunderbird However, the reinstalled account does not show any of the emails or folders for that account. They are no longer visible. But when I go here C:\Users\Dale & Cheryl Office\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ajcrll97.default\Mail In the “Mail” folder I see the following (see image)

How can I get Thunderbird to recognize the old email directory of all my past email history for the reinstalled pop3 account?

I am grateful for any help that you can provide

Thank You Dale

I am trying to copy my emails from outlook 2021 to Fastmail. I had thunderbird recommended as well as DRS to convert the files to mbox. This I have successfully done. However when I open the location of the converted emails in thuderbird it says there is no files there. See two differing views in the attached screenshot . Any help would be most welcome.

I have searched without luck.

Either every thread I can find is about a slightly different version of the question, or none of the answers have worked.

I use Outlook Express 6. I'd like to move over to Thunderbird.

I have several GB of dbx files that I would like to import/transfer/convert and be able to access in Thunderbird.

I tried to use the import tool in thunderbird, but choosing "Import from Outlook" gives me the error: "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I don't see how this is relevant. Regardless, I have now selected outlook express as the default email action, but get the same error.

I have also tried the "Import from file" option, but the only options are "backed up profile", "calendars", "address books". It would seem to me that it would be common for people to move from Outlook Express to Thunderbird, so it seems bizarre to me that there isn't an option to import DBX files. I've opened DBX files in notepad before, I know they're just text, importing them should be a no-brainer. Do I have to write my own conversion program?

Tuesday Oct. 7, our ISP converted to a new e-mail program. I could NOT log in/on I called our ISP's help desk. The 'technician' could not help me log in to our Thunderbird POP 3 account. He had me, WITHOUT asking if I had essential - legal - medical-etc. e-mails in the IN BOX or in folders! He NEVER warned/cautioned all ?would? be lost - GONE.

I URGENTLY need to recover all TB POP3 IN BOX & e-mails in folders. I need to access legal messages today, if possible.

If Mozilla does not have a recovery program, what do I do? I am not seeking to recover ' deleted messages (unless his having me change from the POP3 account to a 'new' IMAP account is the same as ' "delete" '.

Any & all prompt responses APPRECIATED! Remain WELL & Be SAFE!

I went away for a few days and when I came back I was missing a bunch of local folders. I THINK one of my employees kids were banging on me keyboard. I know I should not allow them in my office or at least password my computer when I go away??

I could import from an old computer and at least have all the local folders from before I changed computers 2 years ago.     I have a feeling there maybe an easier way?

Running on a mac. ventura. 13.2.1 thunderbird 140.3.1esr (aarch64) thank you for any help.

My laptop was stolen. Having bought a new laptop and downloaded Thunderbird I can see all my incoming emails Ok, but the problem is that I cannot see any sent emails since August 2023 and I send 10 or more every day. Any ideas on how I can find the sent ones for this year? Ones I have sent since in the last couple of days are showing.

Issue Related to Backing Up Thunderbird Messages. Trying to back up both my inbox messages and sent messages. Problem relates to backing up inbox messages. First, attempted to back-up (sing the save as function) to desktop (folder). Plan was One Drive would back these up from Desktop. Have 199,000 messages in inbox. Did not save all of them. Then tried to save them in smaller increments to external storage (plenty of storage available). Successful with 4 back-ups of approximated 15,000 messages in each batch. Now will not back-up the full 15,000 ....last successful was 5,000 messages. When it fails, message says "Unable to save the message. Check your file name and try again later." The file naming convention has been the same for all files and have carefully checked to make sure it is not the file naming convention.

What is the problem? Does someone have a solution?

Can you please help me so I can successfully back-up all my inbox messages? Once I figure out an approach want to continue backing up messages using this approach.

Greatly appreciate your help!!

Best, Monica

Thunderbird is running (apparently properly) on both my (old) HP laptop, and on my (new) Samsung laptop. But the Thunderbird address book on the Samsung only shows the email addresses associated with emails that have been sent or received since I installed Thunderbird on the Samsung. It does not include the rest of my address book. Similarly, it only contains the emails that have been sent or received since I installed Thunderbird on the Samsung. When I follow the instructions to open the (Thunderbird) profile folder, I get a message that says “C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\fbclykvb.default-esr is unavailable.”

With help from Currys (where I had bought the Samsung), we were able to copy the (ApsData) Thunderbird folder from the (old) HP laptop to the (new) Samsung) laptop. (They also ran something called mailmerge, but I didn’t follow the precise details.) I can now find the Thuderbird folder in the AppData/Roaming folder. In the Profiles, there are 2 subfolders, hw7ms2fs.default-release and w1a31rjn.default. w1a31rjn.default has only one file – times.json hw7ms2fs.default-release has lots of subfolders and files, but no file named fbclykvb.default-esr. Thunderbird is still working properly on the Samsung, but I still can not access my larger address book, or emails that were receive or sent by Thunderbird on the HP. How do I fix it? The people at Currys tried to help, but they don’t know much about Thunderbird, and said I needed to get support from Mozilla.
