I'm presently running TB 147.1esr on a Windows 11 system. I have archived mail by years (2020, 2021, etc.) on an IMAP server and I have defined a Local Folders entry. I want to move some archived years off the server onto the local folders. What is the best way to do this? I searched for documentation, but couldn't find an article on that subject.

I have been dealing with this issue for the last several thunderbird versions. I am currently running 115.18.0

Everytime I try to configure an existing gmail account for thunderbird via File -> New -> Existing email account

I specify my Name and gmail email address, then password for the gmail account.

The google authentication pop up launches " Mozilla Thunderbird wants to access you Gmail" and I click "Allow"


As soon as I click "Allow" I am asked to download a file.

Google gemini says this file is a sign that Oauth is not being accepted by thunderbird.

What I have tried. I verified Thunderbird is set to accept cookies I have verified there are no previously stored gmail passwords (as this has never worked) I have changed my default browser from Firefox to Brave and verified the same behavior

please help, Thunderbird has never been able to connect to gmail when running on this Ubtuntu install.

I was switching from Outlook to Thunderbird and not being familiar with the tab layout made a dumb mistake, I thought I was deleting a tab with filtered spam but instead I selected all in my unified inbox and hit send to trash. It dumped about 4000 into trash that were not important but when that was empty it started pulling older email off the IMAP servers and filling the trash up again. I have about 28000 emails (I assume that makes me a hoarder) about 200 of which need to be kept. I took Thunderbird offline, deleted the Windows app, redownloaded and as soon as I added the accounts back in it started deleting again. Is there anyway to stop the delete all inbox transfer or do I just need to go back to Outlook or another email client?

This might also belong under accessibility. Or how to organize the screen? At this point I cannot get some messages because there is no space left for it. This has happened gradually but now its impossible. I will attach a screen shot to show the problem. (I would have a tiny bit more room if I could get rid of that line of tags since they come on a dropdown anyway. Thank you so much,
