I am looking of the name of a address book I added. I know the\at the main book is called abook.sqlite. I have other sqlite files called abook-1.sqlite, abook-2.sqlite and abook-3.sqlite. What are these file contain? Also where are the other info like "Notes" stored? Are they also in the abook.sqlite file. I am using a DB browser and i don't see that info in the file.

I have been using Thunderbird for ages now with no problem, but I suddenly realised that no recent emails were appearing from my Gmail account. I have tried everything suggested on line to resolve the problem, including uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, and deleting and re-entering my acccount details but neither the IMAP or SMTP servers will connect to Gmail. I have reset all of the server settings on Thunderbird, and have checked that Gmail is IMAP compliant (which, apparently, is is now automatically). I have spent hours trying to sort this out and am just at the point of abandoning Thunderbird completely, but I am loathe to do so if there is a solution. The latest error message i have received is "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" but I don't know what else I can check or change.

Since the firefox upgrade of March 4, 2026, I have lost all of my old emails in my inbox. These are important items I need to work on before I complete and file away. I need to gain access to them ASAP. Thank you.

All of a sudden, i can not log on to my email accounts. I get a "failed" message for all 3 accounts. I get this message. Login to server mail.westpeake.com with username redacted@westpeake.com failed. Brian West www.westpeake.com

Deleted around 400 unread emails at one time, something not done before. Thunderbird shut down, now can not log in. Do not have backup password or two step authorization. Any hope for getting back in?

I tried to transfer Thunderbird file from old computer to new computer but get "Profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessable." when I start Thunderbird. The old TB file works on old computer and I am pretty sure I copied it and pasted it into the new location in place of the current Thunderbird file.

I seem to have purchased "Owl for Thunderbird," unwittingly paying 10 Euros ($11.93) while in England on 2.11.26. I don't want or need it and I want remove and cancel the add on. I also want to stop paying. How do I do that? Where is it hidden in Thunderbird?

I recently updated from a very old version of Thunderbird. The new version no longer shows the little popup messages at the bottom of my screen when automatically checking accounts for mail at the designated interval. As I have numerous email accounts (all set up as POP mail), set to check at different intervals, these popups were useful to me - they also showed when I manually checked an account, or all accounts - this also is not happening anymore. Have they been discontinued, or is it possible I turned them off? I did change some things to suppress nags to update Thunderbird during the time I was using the old version, and unfortunately didn't keep a record of those changes. I'd appreciate knowing which function in about:config controls this feature so I can check to see whether it's set correctly. Thanks!

Each time I open Thunderbird, it redownloads 423 gmail messages. When I exit, and relaunch, it repeats this. I also get an error message. It's been doing this for a week or so, but never up till then.

I've checked my settings, redone the saved password so it's now Oath2 and am out of ideas.

Can you help?

I have 5 email accounts in Thunderbird. After the update to 148.0, any incoming email gets duplicated into all five email inboxes. Also, Thunderbird re-downloads the various email folders (e.g., spam) repeatedly. How do I make this stop?

Migrated from comcast(xfinity)to yahoo which was a pain. That said, I moved the "Bulk "folder to the trash thinking Thunderbird's Junk folder would be what I needed. Apparently not, and now I cannot get the Bulk folder out of the trash and back where it belongs. Help??

As of today, Thunderbird will not make contact with my servers and won't download emails. i had been having some issues with Thunderbird not sending emails last week. Plus, Firefox won't connect with my internet provider's website so I cannot access emails thru webmail. Firefox either times out or says connection could not be made. Could there be an issue within account settings?

I just deleted all my emails in all my folders in my host email account thinking that I was saving them locally in Thunderbird but I've lost all my emails. Is there anyway of recovering them?
