I have two computers that I use at different times and for different reasons. I want the open tabs on them to be the same. I am signed in on both computers but there is no syncing happening, even when I go into the menu under my account. It says it's syncing, but it's not. When I try to "Add another device" the option of adding another computer is not given. I do not want to use the profile backup because I want to MERGE the two sets of open tabs between the computers, not overwrite one.

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?

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?

Thunderbird had never crashed before, but lately, after the last 2 Windows 10 updates within the last 2 weeks, it crashes. It's at 128.5.2esr, the next-to-last update.

It always crashes when I choose "About" and it starts downloading the update. It appears that it doesn't get the 1st byte before crashing. It will still say 0 bytes when it crashes.

It also crashes if I leave it running and the screen goes through the screen saver mode and turns black. Twice it crashed while I was using it.

I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I had 4,000 emails in my Inbox (is there a limit?), so I deleted many and moved many to folders. I now have just under 1,000 in my Inbox.

I also tried restarting in Troubleshoot Mode and updating, but it still crashed at 0 bytes downloaded.

Is there a way to manually download the update and apply it? I can't find it on the website.

The next thing I know to do is reinstall. Is there anything I can try before doing that? Would you suggest uninstall first or reinstall over what's here?

Why is it that when I type in part of an url in firefox search, for example "surf" when I'm wanting to visit r/surf, firefox suggests threads I viewed a single time rather than r/surf that I view multiple times per day?

You can see in chrome it behaves more like you would expect.

Sometimes plain r/surfing will be there but most of the time not, it's just random threads I viewed a single time.

There doesn't seem to be any combination of search settings that makes it suggest more frequently viewed sites

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.

Hi - I have been looking for over 2 days. How do I import all my data (emails, addresses calendar) from Outlook to Thunderbird.

I have tried Import tool within Thunderbird - import from Outlook. I tried MailStore and was totally confused - the terminology was strange. I managed to make an archive - it took ages to find where it was and I still do not know the file extension.

No videos...nothing.

Thanks
