Windows 10 update broke my computer and I had to do a full backup, wipe the computer clean, start over on Windows 10 and now reload all my programs. I can't find my Thunderbird local folders to restore them and they are important gmail backup files. Please tell me where to find them on the backup folder and how to restore them. I am not a computer nerd and don't understand most forum answers, so please answer in detail. Thank you.

Thunderbird 52.9.1 (32-bit)
Hello Thunderbird People,
Is it possible to "pre-authenicate" the Outbound SMTP server at startup?
Inbound Server authentication (POP on port 995, SSL, Normal Password) is prompted-for immediately at startup (because mail is checked at startup).
The Outgoing Server (SMTP) authentication (Port 587, STARTTLS, Normal Password) is only prompted for after a message is sent. All too often, I send a message and miss the SMTP password prompt which leave the message unsent until I notice/authenticate. (I have 4 27" monitors aligned vertically - i.e. lots of screen real estate, several VMs for different customers - thus, it's easy to miss the prompt on my rightmost screen if I quickly move on to something else).
I would like to authenticate SMTP at startup - is there a way for me to either: 1) configure SMTP to use the same password as the POP? 2) configure SMTP to auto prompt authentication at startup? 3) trigger SMTP authentication manually?
Note: I do not want to save POP/SMTP passwords and use a Master Password - this would be ideal, but remembering my actual passwords helps when I'm out of the office and must access mail via a web client.
Many thanks.

I often access the bookmarks I have saved on Firefox from my computer on my iPhone 8.
Usually when a user navigates to the bookmarks tab, it shows a few options like "bookmarks from desktop or toolbar"
One morning recently I navigated to the bookmarks tab on the iOS Firefox app and I tapped Desktop bookmarks, And the app tried to process what I did but then it crashed, When I went back into the app and navigated to Bookmarks the option to view my desktop / toolbar bookmarks that I had saved on my computer wasn't available anymore.
I clicked the little refresh icon to see if that would do anything, and it didn't.
I thought there might be some incremental update that I didn't download which might fix this, no updated in App-store.
Then I decided to sign out of my Firefox account on my phone and log back in. I did and it still nothing shows.
Then I thought to remove the app and reinstall it so I did, and that didn't work.
Then I went onto my computer / into Firefox / navigated to Firefox account / to view Sync settings. The bookmarks are ticked to On, so they should be syncing but they are not. They're also on in the Firefox in-app settings.
I don't know for certain how many saved bookmarks I have but I would guess probably over 350 spread out in various folders.
I can't understand why this isn't working or what I am supposed to do to try and resolve this.
Hoping someone can help me here, Thanks.

I have been having a problem with synchronizing the tabs from my desktop version of Firefox to my iPhone so I came to this support page today to try and get a solution.
I tried to sign into my account here and Firefox kept giving me an error message saying my details were wrong even though they were not. I decided to reset my password and update the email on my account to the primary one I now use.
After resetting the password and changing / confirming the new email address, I signed out of my account on my computer and attempted to sign back into the account using the new email and password but it says my details are incorrect / there is no account with this email, Even though there is.
So how long do I need to wait for Firefox's I.T. system to process the new login details so I can sign in using the new login?

When I /get messages/, I want to see what new new messages have arrived. But if I am in a tab different from the Inbox tab, I have to manually select the tab. Is it possible to configure Thunderbird to switch automatically to the inbox tab when I /get messages/? I tried searching the forum, but I cannot find anything that addresses the question.

Old computer died. I had computer repair guy back up my Thunderbird profile on external harddrive. Got a new computer set up with Thunderbird and it received messages from the day I set it up. Problem is that my new profile has no addresses or previous messages. I try to import, copy, merge my old profile, including MAB file, but it doesn't read. I even tried converting a few old MAB addresses to Outlook and imported them and THEY don't show up. Can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
How to rearrange/simplify Thunderbird Menu items

There are several different menus presented when I try to act on ("Edit>") a Message. If I highlight the message in the inbox and right-click, I get the menu in the photo attached. My MOST frequently used menu item here is "Delete Message". As you can see it's buried deep in the menu that pops up. I would like to simplify this menu, e,g, to remove items I NEVER use (they will still appear in other places if I need them), and move the most frequently used menu item Delete Message to either the top or the bottom, possibly highlighted so it's easily found. How can I do this? Where are the menu items specified and how is their order in the menu determined? Is this an "about.." list or json file that I can access? Thanks!
Steps to repeat:
1) right click on message in Inbox list (Do NOT click the Message menu bar at the top, which is different!). 2) see menu that pops up, same as photo below. This menu needs editing/reordering.

Thunderbird not showing original date from .eml header when the message was sent or received, instead showing date it was imported into thunderbird.

Hi there, I am creating timeline of communication between two users. This include any communication be it email, SMSs or WhatsApp. I am using a tool to export SMS and WhatsApp messages in eml format to windows and then importing those .eml messages into Thunderbird. I am using ImportExportTools add-on to import these .eml files (SMS & WhatsApp) to Thunderbird. I was expecting/hoping that Thunderbird will read the original date from the header of the message when it was sent or received instead of date .eml was exported/created in windows. I understand windows file explorer will show the date these messages were exported/created i.e. today's date. But each message has original date when it was sent or received. I don’t understand why Thunderbird not reading the date form message header inside the content of message and displaying the time this .eml file was exported. I have attached the screenshot. Thunderbird is supposed to show complete date with time of original message i.e. 9 March 2018 5:28 PM instead of just 3:10AM which is the time when the eml file was created/exported from my third-party tool to windows. I am also curious why date column showing only 3:10AM instead of complete date and time 16 July 2018 3:10 AM but that is another issue. Is there any solution to force Thunderbird to show date and time from header of the message instead of OS file creation date.
I am on windows 10 and Thunderbird version i am using is 60.0b10 (32-bit)

Hi
I have hundreds of emails which I need to print off without the thread showing. In other words the emails need to be individual, one per page.
Is there a way of doing this or copying all the emails (not individually as there are too many) into Word so I can space them all out?
