Hi, tbird 128.5.2esr w11p. Is there a way to archive gmail? There is no gmail acct in archives. And, if an archive for gmail can be created, can it be local only? I want to clear the inbox of old stuff but save it (locally). Also,I don't know if this is the right forum for this ques. pls move if nec. Thank you.

I have a large amount of email stored on an IMAP server. Would like to reduce that by moving most or all of it to a local disk drive. Am looking for a (hopefully simple) guide to doing the transfer. I don't see a Local Folders entry in the left-hand pane; not sure if that matters. (Presently running TB 115.10.1 64-bit on Windows 10 and 11.)

When I opened Thunderbird to get and read my new email I received this error message after I could see that Thunderbird had found new messages.

"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."

I checked the hard drive space on all of my hard drives and I have GBytes of space and in PREFERENCES for the hard drive, WRITE is allowed. In fact all items listed in Preferences is set to allow.

I've rebooted the computer and even had Windows check my hard drive for errors and it found no problems. What do I now need to do? Thank you. Fred Berney

I have been trying to connect. I just verified that I followed the directions in:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

I am getting a message I do not see being referenced here. TB is telling me:

"The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account ray@ganymede.org responded: User is authenticated but not connected."

Authenticated but not connected? What the heck?

I have talked to godaddy support several times. They keep saying "You will have to contact the email provider." But they are the email provider. So, any suggestions?

My account is ray@ganymede.org, I am trying to connect to outlook.office365.com and I have the security and authentication all, I believe, set correctly.

I received some Arabic-language emails written in the Perso–Arabic script. The default fonts severely impede Arabic readability, so I went about changing them. I accessed the fonts configuration via the "Advanced" button in the "Language & Appearance" section. Font settings per writing system (Latin, Arabic, etc.) are ostensibly offered, but I have not observed any such settings take effect after experimenting with the Arabic and Latin settings.

I have managed to only change the fonts globally (i.e. across all scripts) via "Other Writing Systems". Did those per-script font settings become deprecated at some point, or am I interpreting/using it wrong?

I have seen many questions a bit like mine but they all refer to downloading emails. Mine is different: "The folder 'Trash on my@email.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." It now happens on two different email addresses (one is POP one is IMAP). Trash seems otherwise to work and can be deleted. But still this alarm. MAS OS 15.1.1 (24B91) - latest Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit)

I successfully set up an icloud email account in Thunderbird on a laptop but cannot get it set up on a desktop. I am attempting to use the previously generated app-specific password. I think I remember that on the laptop I could not key the password, but had to copy and paste. If I generate another app-specific password, will it invalidate the password presently working on the laptop? Or am I missing something else?

I just upgraded my desktop pc from Windows 10 to 11, and before the upgrade I used the Tools Export function to export my complete Thunderbird profile, so I could import it after the upgrade. Unfortunately the export file cannot be read on my upgraded pc using the Import function - Thunderbird gives me error messages every time, that suggest the exported folder might be corrupted or invalid.

My IMAP emails are fine, as I have set those accounts up from scratch and the folders have now populated with all the emails - the problem is all my filed emails, dating back many years, which were all stored manually in a filing system under Local Folders.

I tried manually copying across the individual files from the extracted back-up folder into my live Thunderbird profile and then reopened Thunderbird...which worked to some extent...as in, all the folders are there, but no emails are showing! It shows no messages under each folder, even though if you look under the Profile you can see that the email files exist.

I tried various ways to bring them in, including zipping one of the folders and trying to import from the zip file (which also brought in a folder but no emails) but even though the email files are clearly there under my profile, Thunderbird shows 0 messages in all my Local Folders. It's as though it is unaware the files exist, so I suspect it needs them to be formally imported somehow?

I would hate to lose the emails, as they document important information and purchases etc over many years, along with archived emails for my charity work, social events, etc. As I said, I can see the files are there but simply copying the files to my profile has only worked to the extent the filing 'structure' is visible, Thunderbird doesn't display any of the emails.

I have included two images...one of my Thunderbird Local Folders as they currently look, and the other showing the backed up files existing in my Profile, which I hope are helpful.

Can anyone help please? I am running a desktop PC on Windows 11. Thanks, David.

I'm running Thunderbird 115.10.1 on Microsoft Windows 10.

I do most of my work in a unified inbox that has three accounts -- 2 POP, 1 IMAP. I added the IMAP account more than a year ago, at least as far back as 102.15.0, and it has never worked right in the unified inbox.

If I open the account inbox directly, I can delete a message (although I don't understand the way the UI works for this account): I press the "delete" button, the header in the message list gets a strikethrough line, and some time later the message vanishes from the inbox.

If I open the unified inbox and delete a message from either of the POP accounts, it vanishes immediately. If I delete a message from the IMAP account, nothing happens in the UI for the unified inbox -- but if I look at another tab where I have the IMAP account inbox open, I see the strikethrough line. Eventually the message vanishes from the IMAP account inbox, and when I look back at the unified inbox, I can see that it has vanished there, too.

Is this as simple as failing to render the strikethrough in the unified inbox, or is there something worse happening here?

I have one email setup however I can't get the second email set up which is a gmail account. I keep getting an error message from gmail. I can log into the account from firefox so password and email address is correct. Everything looks good to me I have attached the error I am getting from gmail. thank you, Rick

HI -- My email accounts (2) vanish and I have recquire them to sign back in

I have my one main account up and running again (for now) but my secodary account I can't recall my password.

is there any way to keep my secondary account but update and change the password for it??

Won't allow me access - keeps kicking me out - until I can get the account and password to match up

Many thanks!!!

Hello, it is not possible to sing in. My Password never aceppt. eMail don´t work never. It´s cruel to want to work with Thunderbird eMAil, This is how i am driven away to Microsoft. For me a desaster. Annoyed, frustrated Norbert

I want to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird. I installed Thunderbird and wanted to import all E-Mail-Folders from Outlook to Thunderbird. But only part of the folders and Mails are available in Thunderbird. Do you have any idea how this problem could be solved ? Thank you Harald Groß

I have two long-established email accounts, both provided by siteground. I've used both successfully for years. Now, one still works for sending and one doesn't. I've checked the SMTP settings for both and they are the same, except of course for Description and Server Name. Here's the error message I get.

Hello! I recently got the update to Thunderbird 128 on my PopOS laptop via sudo apt update/upgrade. I don't know what the previous version was. Since the update, Thunderbird will spike my CPU to 120 - 140% (per command-line "top") if I have an interaction with it (e.g. reading and then deleting an email that was received) after the program has been sitting idle for several minutes. After a few minutes of loud fans, things calm down again so I presume Thunderbird is doing some sort of maintenance routine that completes successfully.

I do not have the global search index thing turned on. I did not change the default mailbox db idle time. I do have rather large mailboxes that are synced via SMTP, from three different providers. There are dozens of folders (not hundreds) containing thousands if messages (but not tens of thousands). Hopefully that gives an idea of scale .. I don't have a massive overload of untended email history but I do have a quantity of historical emails that the system has to deal with.

I followed the excellent directions online to obtain a profile during one of these high-cpu sessions. It is available at https://share.firefox.dev/4dAmyAz

Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to help diagnose this issue, such as generating more specific profiles. The high-cpu state is a pretty common occurrance now.

Just what the subject line says. Go looking for something and Search doesn't find it. Even after I remember the email and find it, Search does not find it.

Why is this? It is un-usable, actually as it happens all the time.

For instance, putting in a company name like "walmart.com" will find some but not all the emails with walmart.com and certainly not the most recent ones specifically with a person's name.

When trying to send emails from Thunderbird, I either get an error message that they have timed out, or that the server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. This problem started out of the blue on Friday 20th Dec. I can send emails by logging into my email provider 123-Reg without any problem. Any help appreciated.
