I have been trying for 2 days to do:

1. Move the Thunderbird data base to E-drive from c as there is no space on C. I allow thunderbird to install - no option for data base location and it puts it on c-drive my default. I then copy all the files to e-drive and then it wants to re-install again. Same PC.

2. I cannot get mailstore to convert pst as the Outlook function in Thurnderbird does not or I cannot get it to work.

I am complete novice and this is all to complex. I live in remote place in Austrialian out back

Please Dan

I noticed this morning that my Thunderbird tree no longer had a Junk folder. I restarted the program and Junk appeared, with stuff in it, but right-clicking the Junk folder no longer brings up the usual list of options, including Empty Junk. Instead, right-clicking seems to temporarily slow-down or 'hang' Thunderbird, a condition it does recover from in 10 seconds or so. I can open the Junk folder, select all messages and delete them, but something isn't right. Any ideas, anyone?

Update: Realized I didn't mention the version I was running, it was 133.0.3, under Windows 10, but when I opened Help to find this I was invited to do an update... so I did. When the 'update' was complete, I checked and am now running 128.6.0esr (64-bit). That seems strange. Oh, the same Junk problem persists under the 'new' version.

Update #2: Evidently the drop-down menu does eventually appear, if you just wait for it... anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds or so. Normally the right-click is instantaneous. What could have happened, I wonder?

Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bit) can obtain access to my Google Calendar and Contacts but not to email. This is a clean installation on a brand new Windows 11 computer. I have reinstalled Thunderbird three times, deleted saved passwords, deleted only the SMTP and IMAP saved passwords (preserving OAuth2 passwords), deleted Thunderbird's access in Gmail security settings to force it to re-request access, followed every instruction on every forum and help page I can find, but Thunderbird refuses to send and receive mail. Thunderbird finds the correct configuration and sets it up (correct ports, IMAP, SMTP, correct servers, OAuth2, etc.) I used my Gmail address and the same password as I use for webmail.

I am presently using Outlook for Gmail because it connected immediately using the same credentials as I am trying with Thunderbird. When I delete access permission in Gmail security settings, then add Gmail to Thunderbird again, it prompts for access to Contacts and Calendar but not to mail (one time it flashed a screen saying it could not because Java is not enabled in my web browser--but Java is enabled on both my default browser, Edge, and on Chrome; the page that came up appears to be some internal browser in Thunderbird).

The attached images show the configurations for IMAP server, the SMTP server, and that the saved passwords contain two OAuth2 URLs, one for contacts and the other for the calendar, but nothing for mail.

I have been using Thunderbird for years, and have a massive archive of emails in it, would really like to use it as my email client rather than Outlook. Installation and configuration has never been this difficult. Does anybody have any thoughts on what to do next?

I had an association G-mail account until mid January, when I resigned my post as president and resigned from the organization. They changed the password on the account, after which I deleted the account from Thunderbird and from my computer.

Now, whenever Thunderbird is loaded (and only when it's loaded) I get a reminder every half hour or so that the account is inaccessible. It shows up in a Thunderbird window that can only be deleted -- no other action is allowed. It also offers no other remedy than "give me my password."

Who will rid me of this inconvenient pest?

I've been using Thunderbird on this Win 10 Pro machine for about a year, and nothing has changed lately but a few days ago began receiving "Unable to write the email..." error message. Yahoo Mail is my mail provider. I've not had any luck after trying the following:

Running Thunderbird Version 115.18.0 on Win 10 Pro Checked security (have rights for everything) Checked diskspace (over 50GB free) Checked for disk errors (none) Deleted several emails via server (so not a problem with a particular msg) Verified all AccountSettings are correct Added exception in AV software for Thunderbird Disabled all AV software Ran TB as Administrator Enabled outdated security protocols TLS 1.0 (and then reset to 3) Added Thunderbird.exe to Firewall ‘exception list’

Sure would appreciate some other suggestions to get this resolved as I have an extensive library of messages I'd like to keep in Thunderbird.

Thanks very much.
