The only way I could do that was if you wanted me to do it on my own and I would be able to do it with you and I would have to do it with you and I would have to do it with you and I would have to do it with you and I would have to pay for the money I would be willing and able and you could pay me your money I don’t have a lot to pay you but you would be happy with me and you could just do whatever I want and you could go to work or you can go anywhere you like and you can do it and you can just have it with your family or you could just let it go to school or you could just have a family or something and then I can go home or something else but that’s what I’m trying my friend I can’t even talk and you could go out of the store I can just let it all the stuff you could go somewhere I can just say no I can just do that you could go and if you’re gonna go home I can go get it just let me know what you can do it doesn’t matter I don’t care what you can do it just depends on how long it takes you and what time it will take me I just don’t know if you have a problem or if I have a question about it I don’t know if you can do it I don’t know if you have any questions or not I just wanna know what time you’re gonna come in I just want you know.

Postbox having been sold to eM Client, I need to migrate to Thunderbird. Import worked pretty well using the protocol "migrating from a previous Thunderbird installation" however the filters did not import at all. It happens that I have 320 of them, so it would be a great help if some automatic procedure could be implemented. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. Regards, Gérald

I am troubleshooting a problem that arose after I migrated a Thunderbird mail account from an old Win10 64-bit PC to a new Win11 64-bit PC.

I installed TB on the new machine and opened the program without doing anything else, then closed the program. TB created installs.ini and profiles.ini files, both with the following as the last line:

Locked=1

This line had not been in either .ini file on the old installation.

I edited these files to point to the backed-up TB profile from the old machine, but I decided to leave the Locked=1 line in the .ini files.

Was this a mistake? I have a strange problem with the new installation, which I won't report until I understand what the "Locked=1" means, and whether I was ill-advised to leave it/them in. Fortunately there has been no evident loss of mail data.

Thanks in advance, Phil

I created a new installation, Win11 64-bit, and edited installs.ini and profiles.ini to use the profile left from a previous Win10 64-bit installation.

I get messages to the Inbox correctly, and the structure of what would be Local Folders seems intact. However, I have two problems: (1) when I try to save a message in another folder, I get a dialog saying my disk is full (there are more than 200GB available) (see image); and (2) the "Local Folders" folder looks to be in the Trash. There is also some "weirdness" in the menu when I try to move a message from Inbox (see image).

I have never tried to export from TB but if I can export the Inbox and the other folders with saved messages, I might be able to do a fresh install and then import those.

Any other ideas?

Thx -Phil

I tried installing TB on two machines with the same profile, but this did not work because I was unable to keep the versions in sync on the two machines.

Now I am back to one machine, but because of the above I was left with quite a few "zombie" Inbox and Trash folders. These are empty but they cannot be removed.

Is there a "trick" or mechanism within TB for doing so?

This is a Deb12 Linux installation btw.

Thx, Phil

That is the first line in the Hippocratic Oath. All doctors have to swear to it. All software developers should too.

I made the mistake of letting Firefox on KUbuntu update. It obliterated all my tabs and all my history. There's nothing left. I had a lot of tabs open with intent to use them to update some astronomy instructional activities. I don't know if I'll be able to find them again.

I don't really have a question except to ask: What fresh hell is this? Is it really that hard to just leave things the hell alone? I'm afraid to ever update Firefox again. If everything else wasn't based on Chromium, I'd be out of here.

Also, it looks like something out of Windows 7.

It's all gone. It's a wonder you didn't delete all my bookmarks while you were at it.

how to convert from v128.6.2 esr(32bit) to v137.0.1 (64bit)

In the past, to update the mail on another computer I simply copied the profile folder. But the new installation is now version 137.0.1 and the profile structure is very different. How do I bring the accounts and all existing mail to my new computer?

thanks for your help.

Greetings! I downloaded Thunderbird for my new Win11 desktop, but it gave me an ESR version 128.9.1. It's working fine, but can i just move to the current 137.0.1 version? If so, how do I do that - just grab the current version and install on top of the ESR or should I remove the ESR first? Thanks in advance!

My TBird of many years has gone haywire. Nothing I do or suggestions from the forum folks solves my issues. I'd like to download a replacement for my Mac High Sierra Version 10.13.6. IS there one available?

I've been writing you about this for weeks! I cannot download an install to fix my years used Thunderbird. I always attempt a download from your site and it always gives the same error message: "Thunderbird 137.0.1-4 corrupt image"

I even took it to an IT repair shop and they got the same non-result. I need to repair/replace my old Thunderbird.

C-attached error message image plus my iMac OS info. There MUST be some way to successfully download a replacement. Please advise.

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, originally on WindowsXP then Linux (Kubuntu) on my PC. Recently purchased an HP laptop and installed Kubuntu 24.04.2 (the same as my PC). Firefox allowed me to sync both computers, is there a way to do the same with Thunderbird ?

Hej. Jeg har Thunderbird på en anden pc med den samme kontooprettelse/indstilling som jeg har brugt på en ny pc. Den siger indstillingerne til server er fundet og jeg siger fortsæt. Efter lidt tid kommer en besked - brugernavn eller kode er forkert. Jeg har tjekket flere gange og alt står korrekt men stadin fejl om forkert brugernavn eller kode. Bruger windows 11 home alt er opdateret Bruger Avast

Hi! Since a few months, I face the problem that Thunderbird stalls and is inaccessible for several seconds (>20) when a screen refresh happes or sometimes when for example a windows message pops up. I disabled/ininstalled all add-ons and also have reset all setings to their defaults. Has someone the same problem or has a hint for me? Thank you!

I already have "Automatically install updates" and "When Firefox is not running" enabled.

But after each Firefox update I still get the "Do you want to allow this app to make changes..." prompt and "Firefox is installing your updates and will start in a few moments" window. These are inconvenient as they require user input and take up time.

I don't get these on all other browsers I use (including Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave), which all update in the background seamlessly.

Is there a way to prevent these in Firefox and just have Firefox update seamlessly in the background like other browsers?

I have been trying to stay on releases and was told to upgrade to 115.10.1. So I did that and was told to go to 115.18.0 and it was not noted as esr. So I did and was immediately told to go to 128.8.1 esr. I was not on the esr channel and do not want/need to be on esr. about:config has been changed to esr channel from release w/o my ok - the least I'd expect is a warning. Release 115.x.x has betas and releases more than I had seen previously - aboutr 25-26. It looks like nothing but betas from 116 to 128 and a lot of what look like releases from x.0 to x.10.2 which is new to me. What is the rational behind all these versions and why there is not a simple center of how to use this info? I remember when way back, tbird had issues but they were manageable.
