Hello,

I had Tbird installed on a WIN7 laptop a couple years ago, but was not happy with it.

Moved on to Mailbird for a year or so, but not completely happy there either. Search function was VERY weak, and i have about 100,000 emails.

I thought I would give Tbird another look.

I decided to try to download it to a new WIN10 laptop, to get a completely CLEAN setup. My old one (on the WIN7) actually works.

After I downloaded it to the new WIN10 laptop, AT FIRST it tried to verify the account. That failed. Then, somehow, it seems to have skipped right over that step. In the meantime, I read (too late to help) that I should not input the password until AFTER the verification.

At this point, I cannot get back to the "VERIFY" step, and the auto-install has not worked. All the server settings appear to be the same as on the old WIN7 version. It just won't connect to the email and begin downloading.

I'm linking in to an old NETSCAPE account (via AOL), on a POP3 basis.

At this point, I've uninstalled and then re-installed the software about three times. Nothing seems to help.

what am i doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird 'saved searches' that were in folders, were not migrated at all?

Hello,

I've migrated Firefox and Thunderbird profiles from %appdata% dozens of times now, but noticed something odd last week when I migrated my previous computer's Thunderbird profile folder to new. I use Saved Searches extensively, and have dozens of them in various 'real' folders. (Real, as in, when I log into the web-based email systems that I have loaded into Thunderbird, I can see the folders - they just appear completely empty, which is of course accurate, because they only contain "thunderbird" things, not real email things.

My work requires me to use Office 365, and I had a few Saved Searches right on the "root" of that Account. Those ones survived the migration just fine and are working. However, I had a few subfolders on my old computer, things like "Companies" and "Coworkers" that each had a dozen saved searches in it for, obviously, companies I email with, and emails with specific coworkers.

None of those saved searches made it through the migrations; their folders are still there, but they are completely empty.

Is there any way I can do a migration that will capture these saved searches OR, even better, is there simply some internal database contents from my old computer I can get at, then just copy and paste that into the database of my new Thunderbird install? That'd save me some time not needing to migrate my 15GB thunderbird profile again.

I just found it interesting that my Saved Searches on the "Root" made it over, but the ones in Folders, did not!

Dear Mozilla, Actually I have 2 instances of TB 102.11 on my Linux 22.04. One I guess the original, can be listed with apt list --installed and the other that I installed with flatpak flatpak list

Unfortunatellly I configured and starte to use the one cane from flatpak. I have set everything, mail rules, digital signature, . . . etc. Now the actual problem is that the ImportExportTools NG add-on is not able to export my mails. I guess the reason is that I have 2 installed TB instances on my machine. Please advise how I can realize which one I configured and use? 2nd request: how to remove the redundant TB instance while the necessary will not suffer any injury? Thanks. BR,

Multiple downloads fails

Summary of my current relevant software/hardware:

FireFox (UK): 113.0.2 (64-bit)
Windows 10 Pro(UK): 
 Vers.: 22H2
 Installed on: 2021-01-23
 OS build: 19045-2965
Lenovo (laptop): 
 ThinkPad X1 Extreme Gen 3
 Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
 Installed RAM: 32.0 GB (31.8 GB usable)
 System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

My problems with FireFox 113.0.2 started when I began to download some Affinity V2 videos. Some of these were rather large (over 500MB) and I noticed that several were being downloaded at the same time (which was no surprise). However, after sometime I noticed that only one of the videos was completely downloaded and the others were just stopped. Then, when I looked at the task manager the number of FireFox instances was increasing: ...,5,6,...18,..

Of course, I thought I could fix the download process but all my efforts failed; e.g. after a restart of windows and execution of FireFox the same videos were still in a "hold" state and many instances of FireFox were being executed. After a frustating night of failures I finally decided to restore an older FireFox using my Acronis backup/recovery software. My last Aronis backup of my entire system was made on 2023/04/07 with the most recent version of FireFox at the time which worked fine when downloading several large video files at the same time.

I only included the C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox' in the restore since I have installed a rather large number of new apps and updates after 2023/04/07. This also failed -- my add-ons, bookmarks, etc. in this restored version were all missing and before I could stop the recovery process, the restored FireFox was updated to the latest as of today (2023/06/01). And of course the problem had not be fixed.

So finally to my request: What directories, files do I need to restore, from the 2023/04/27 backup with all of its features at that time -- this is important, and how do I stop it from upgrading to a newer version?

I would be glad to provide additional information if needed :-)

I'm trying to move my profile data to a different local drive. I copied the profiles directory, and edited the profile.ini to point to the new location. When I start it up, for some of the accounts I end up with an inbox (in thunderbird) with mutliple (100s) of inbox files like

INBOX-1 INBOX-10 INBOX-100

When I look at the directory these are all .msf files.

How can I combine them into a single inbox file? It seemed to happen on two imap accounts, one on outlook, one on gmail.

A few years ago Verizon outsourced its (POP only) email to AOL.When addint a verizon email account to Thunderbird, automatic account setup selects the old defunct Verizon POP server. AOL's imap server at imap.aol.com (ssl port 993) would be a better choice. Also, AOL supports OAUTH3 but I canot get it turned on correctly, maybe you could offer a how-to see [https://help.aol.com/articles/verizon.../verizon-move-to-aol-mail-setting-up-your-new-aol-account-in-a-third-party-email-program-or-mobile-device-imap]

Hellos everyone,

Q1:

I have Thunderbird on Mac, and over the years have had several profiles on it. I was always using IMAP for all of my email profiles, and when I go to the ImapMail I see at least 21 profiles.

Each folder has a name, and then an .msf copy of it. So for example, it will show imap.domain.com, and then imap.domain.com.msf

I no longer have access to the online server, so this local copy is the only server I have.

The mail folders, not counting the duplicates msf files are 21. I am attaching an email here for easier reference.

I want for all of these emails to show up on Thunderbird, but so far only 4 profiles show on Thunderbird. How do I get all the profile to show up on my Thunderbird so I can read them ?

Q2:

Where would I be able to find the attachments in the Thunderbird emails ? Is there a local file that I should be looking into ?
