Hi Folks,

I hope you can help me with my little problem.

Thunderbird was damaged during the migration to the new Mac, so I installed a new version of Thunderbird on the new Mac and now want to get the emails from my old Mac into the new Thunderbird. I think I know where the files for the new Thunderbird are: /Users//Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxx.default-release/imapMail/map.xxx.net, so is it as easy as replacing those files with the files in the equivalent folder on the old Mac?

Alternatively, I just discovered this function within Thunderbird itself: "Import Settings and Data from a Thunderbird Profile." Might this be useful, and if so, how would I go about it?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Cheers! Chris

Per the subject line, Thunderbird is no longer emptying trash on exit. There have been some other quirky behaviors over the last several months but I didn't write them down. Is there some kind of clearing of cache or some other procedure needed to rectify this?

Pressing Get Mail icon displays some 8 messages in bottom ((.)) line of Thunderbird including <provider URL>:Connected to <account email address> and finally Checking mail server capabilities. Up to 4/1/2025 that got all the new emails of the account but since then no emails get into Thunderbird in any of the account's folders.

Every time Thunderbird upgrades, my Comcast account access breaks complaining of needing a new password. I have tried everything and nothing works - other than to leave everything alone. Then, about 2 days later, it just works again... until another Thunderbird upgrade gets pushed out. Is there any way to prevent this other than to forego future updates?

My wife, all of a sudden, was unable to download email in her Thunderbird Comcast account. After much fussing around I deleted profile and tried to create a new one. I have tried many combinations of entries in the profile form. Attached is an image of one form set-up page.

Sometimes when I press "Done" a comcast page opens and I log in. But I always get the yellow failed message.

Is there something wrong with my information in the boxes?

What am I doing wrong?

My Inbox showed no messages the last time I started Thunderbird (until Thunderbird started to download new messages). I looked on the C: drive under Profiles, and the Inbox showed 0 KB, when a backup from 10/17/2021, was 1.67 GB (1,753,217 KB). I am not sure how this happened. I think there were Thunderbird updates for a couple of days before I noticed the problem. I had been having trouble with Windows 10 updates, and saved files on an external hard drive on 4/20/25 to back them up, but by then, the Inbox file in my Thunderbird profile showed 0 KB. I am using POP to download emails. Is there any way I can get my emails back? Are they saved somewhere else? Thank you in advance for your help!

A few months ago the search feature stopped working. I used to be able to search for a message or messages by entering a search term in a search field, and/or using a filter like subject, sender, etc. But a few months ago that stopped working. Instead, there is no search field (except the general one searching for the term anywhere in the message) unless I click "quick filter", which then provides a more targeted search. But it calls up a random array of messages bearing no relationship to the search item. This is only on my MacbookAir. My iPhone also has Thunderbird but its search function seems accurate, only displaying what the search value is, except it doesn't get many when I know there are more in my inbox. My inbox is horribly overfull--I keep hoping to be able to find the ones I want to keep without deleting everything.

I checked the Thunderbird site and discovered much more complicated than the last time I looked. Right now all I want is the old one to work correctly. Thanks. Margaret Phillips

My user upgraded Thunderbird to v136 and no longer can sync his calendar on our IMAP server (Cyrus). When Thunderbird attempts to log into the calendar Cyrus logs an "Internal Server Error" with the detail

The user can access their email so their account username/password is stored correctly in Thunderbird, it's just not making it to the calendar subsystem.

Failure is 100%. The user can access their calendar from the previous version of Thunderbird and by using another app on their phone.

I previously wrote to the forum regrading an email "Junk" issue, and the question or problem was not answered. After much trial and tribulation, I have my email back.....however it does not work properly as it did before. And now, everything that comes through is already marked as "Junk." And I have to click the yellow ribbon to mark it as not junk. I'm not sure what I might've done, nevertheless, all I have is email automatically marked as junk. How do I fix this? I'd love to have my email back to functioning as it did in the beginning, but it seems the more I mess with it, the worse it gets. Help please anyone!

Michael....

incoming messages more than 24 days old are automatically removed from the inbox. Cannot see where they are moved to. Not in delete or archives. Sent messages do not appear to be removed at all. I would like to keep all incoming messages until I delete them.

Thanks for your help David

Emails from a number of emails are going into my junk folder that should not go into it. Even when I mark each email as "Not Junk", it continues to grab emails that it shouldn't. This has been going on for a long time and list of Non-Junk emails going into the Junk folder is increasing. I cannot find how to fix this any where on your website.

I am not a techy of any sort, so don't want to change any thing I shouldn't.

Maybe the easiest thing to do us just shut down the junk grabber. I'd rather do the choosing my self.

Thanks

I got the message see beloy (French text translated by Deepl into english). The full french message is attached. "Mozilla logo Your Mozilla account and data will be deleted in 7 days Your Mozilla account is used to access free privacy and browsing products such as Firefox sync, Mozilla Monitor, Firefox Relay and MDN. Your account and personal data will be permanently deleted on Thursday, May 15, 2025 due to your inactivity."

I can't understand this messsage as I use daily several times the Mozilla products Thunderbird and Firebird. Please dont cancel my account as it would have catastrophic consequences. Please tell me what I should do to avoid that cancellation.

Hi there, I have a problem with Thunderbird, and was hoping that someone could help.

I have it installed on a bunch of computers, but there is this one laptop that is giving no end of grief.

Currently running Linux Mint 21.3 - everything up to date. Thunderbird installed using Synaptic.

Thunderbird shows version 102.2.2 - which is different (older) than all other computers. The automatic update fails. I have tried re-installing from Synaptic, no joy.

This is probably something simple, but it is proving to be driving me crazy.

Any ideas what is going wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Please tell me how to sync my Thunderbird calendar to pass my appointments to my iPad/iPhone running ios18.1.1. It used to work for iOS 17. I am using the current Thunderbird edition.
