Just installed the latest 139 version on two computers, the system tray icon for unread messages appears in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11, and it isn't just 'hidden' as I have many icons hidden and just a few visible and have already checked that. Is the icon no longer part of the program?

Can I use Thunderbird to build an incremental local backup/archive of all messages transiting (incoming/outgoing) a webmail account ?

Any idea how to achieve this ?

My problem is:

  • A POP3 account will miss all folders except the Inbox. (It's a pity that POP4 has not gained traction yet.)
  • An IMAP account creates a mirror, not a backup. Remote deletions in the webmail account must not delete messages from my backup and vice versa.

detailed requirements:

  • one-way sync only, since a local backup/archive must be built, not a mirror (two-way synchronization):
    • Remote deletions must not cause local deletions (otherwise it would be a mirror, not an archive/backup).
    • Local move/delete operations must not be reflected back to the mail server.
    • Read‐only access to the mail server: no moves, deletes or flags remotely.
  • All messages in all folders must be included in the backup: Inbox, Sent, custom folders, etc. Since POP3 can only back up the Inbox, I will probably have to settle for IMAP to include all folders.
  • No duplicates: Messages must not be stored locally more than once.
  • Messages must be stored as full offline copies locally (not just headers).

Since 17th June any email I send to an hotmail account is being returned with the message

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed permanently:

  * (removed)@hotmail.com

Reason: A message that you sent to the following recipient could not be delivered due to a permanent error. ** The remote server ?? responded with: ** (removed)@hotmail.com ??:?? This message was created automatically by mail delivery software on the server .


I have not made any changes, and it worked previously for years - do you have any suggestions as to the problem? I have tried sending to 3 Hotmail accounts and are all being returned - all other emails work correctly.

I am using plusnet.

how can I copy my encrypted gmail passwords so that I can use it to sign into my Thunderbird gmail accounts to send and receive email using the Thunderbird app? Thunderbird has now decided that the passwords I have used for years to sign into my two gmail accounts are not valid. Think Tbird wants the encrypted version of each password, but don't know how to figure out what that is. Not listed in the encrypted version in my Tbird saved passwords.My other accounts continue to work well with Thunderbird. I havve many folders that I do NOT want to lose i I have to delete and then reestablish those two accounts, but the copy/move to another folder on my laptop will not work. Nothing happens when I try to follow the instructions. Please help!!
