Is anyone else having this bug? I'm reading through my mails and I delete one or multiple mails and then the entire box disappears and says "No Message Found." Then, I have to click on the account and then back to Inbox to see the mails again? This has been happening on the last two builds on TB??

And then I get the disk space error...even though there is almost 3T of space??

I have all of my emails in IMAP folders. When I travel I don't always have internet access. It would be helpful to have access to work-related emails at those times. Two questions:

(1) Is it possible to store emails in both IMAP and local folders so I can access them offline?

(2) Is there some setting that can automatically store all emails in IMAP and local folders?

Thanks for your help!

On a new Thunderbird install only some of the subdirectories are being displayed. This is only happening on one email account (xx@live.com). This happened before and I think it had something to do with a filter but I can't locate the issue.

My Thunderbird v.139.0.1 crashed. It would not run at all. I downloaded Thunderbird and it was v.139.0.2. It looks entirely different and created a new profile. I edited the Profiles.ini and replaced the new profile with the old profile. (this worked 2 months ago when I bought a new computer). Now having done the editing to get all my old emails etc, it will not bring up the old profile. How do I get my old profile and the setup from the 139.0.1 look and feel. Thanks.....

need help in consolidating profiles

Several years ago, I switched over to the beta path of Thunderbird... In doing so, I created a new profile for the beta installation, leaving the old one behind in case I wanted to abandon beta... So I had two profile folders; I *thought* they were this:

current profile: c:\notes\Thunderbird original backup profile: c:\notes\Thunderbird.b115

Now, I've decided that there is no reason to retain the old Thunderbird profile folder, since I'm clearly committed to the beta path... however, I have discovered an anomaly... *both* the old and new profiles are periodically being updated!! Thunderbird.b115 is apparently actually my active profile, but Thunderbird was updated just a few days ago.

When I look at About Profiles, I actually see *three* profile folders listed:

Profile: Gorlash: (default: no) c:\notes\Thunderbird

Profile: Derell Licht beta: (default: no) c:\notes\Thunderbird

Profile: Thunderbird beta (default: no) c:\notes\Thunderbird.beta (note that this folder does not exist)

Profile: Thunderbird b115: (default: yes) c:\notes\Thunderbird.b115

===========================================

Is there something that I could do to consolidate all of this into just one folder? I don't even *know* what those Gorlash and Derell Licht profiles refer to... Yes, those are both usernames that I use online, in various contexts, but as far as I know, I don't use them in Thunderbird...

Q1: Can I just delete those other profiles where default is NO ?? Q2: Why is c:\notes\Thunderbird still getting periodic updates, even though those profiles are not default??

Hi everyone,

I could really use some help with Mozilla Thunderbird.

I had my official email set up in Thunderbird using a POP3 connection. Before I updated Windows and reinstalled Thunderbird, I backed everything up — all the emails and settings.

Now, after reinstalling Thunderbird, I’m trying to get my old emails and account settings back, but I just can’t seem to make it work. I tried copying my old profile folder over the new one, but nothing shows up properly.

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or missing a step. Can someone please walk me through how to properly restore a POP3 email backup in Thunderbird? I really need to get my old emails back.

Thanks a lot in advance!
