Thunderbird v52.9.1 I have been looking for my .mbox files and have found none. I have three different email addresses (accounts) in a single profile.

I use my own basic path to ..../Profiles/.........

• • • • • • = characters I think I should not be divulging

In path ...../Profiles/*****.default/Imapmail/Imap.****.de I see an Inbox.sbd & many .msf file corresponding to folders and subfolders (.sbd files).

In path ...../Profiles/*****.default/Mail/Local Folders I see two .msf files corresponding to folders.

In path ...../Profiles/*****.default/Mail/****.de I see an Inbox.sbd & many .msf file corresponding to folders and subfolders (.sbd files).

Are the .msf files where the e-mails are?

I need this information to find an email where FSecure virus scan has told me there is a generic Trojan that it will automatically deal with. (Most likely a false alarm but I want to remove it.)

Using Thunderbird only one week, and it's outstanding, until today. Now, when I *write or *reply to an e-mail, my screen is totally filled, covering up important parts of my screen. How can I stop this from happening, i.e. NEVER go to full screen when doing e-mail???? Thank you in advance.

The word "attach" is a very common verb, and every time I type it in an email, the yellow attachment bar pops up. This is very distracting and a waste of time to have to constantly delete. Is there a way to prevent it from appearing permanently? Thank you!

I have over 60 contacts in my address book from a single organisation that has recently changed its domain name. I'd like to be able to a mass 'find and replace' so that the portion of these addresses after '@' gets changed ina single operation. Is this possible?

I have multiple verizon.net email accounts on t-bird. All receive mail. I can only send from one of the verizon.net accounts. Error message says "Request Failed; Mailbox unavailable"

My TB has updated to v. 60 and now my Theme Font & Size Changer does not work I want to go back to an earlier version. Please help me to do this. When I click on it I get this box, which gives me no options to change anything.

Can I choose whether I want to install the latest update?

I'm right clicking on a desktop file (or any file) to Send To Mail Recipient. When TB 60 is not open nothing happens. When TB is open is closes and no new dialog boxes or windows open as they use to with the previous version of TB I used.

I've checked default programs and TB is set. I'm using Windows 7 Pro and TB 60.0b9 (64-bit),

We've just upgraded from TB 2.0.0.2-- great release, just needed to be able to view more remote content so after looking at all the different releases I chose 60 for us with Lightning and Provider for google calendar integration. Quite a change after all these years. I'm happy to downgrade if this is a known glitch that hasn't been fixed or isn't available.

My hands are becoming shaky. Often when I click on a message to read it it jumps to full screen view and I have to scroll all the way back to 'inbox'. Is there a way of stopping this from happening. I have tried changing my mouse settings but nothing solves this problem.

As of 12:30 PDT I am still unable to log in to my email server using Thunderbird. Receive msg. that (Thunderbird) could not log on to server. I can access email through a different reader. Any idea why I cannot log on using Thunderbird?

Last week I had to filter email coming from a contact. His computer was sending out 100's of a repetitive email, and I was getting the same one every minute for hours and finally had to set a filter on his email address to send all these automatically to junk. I have now tried to remove the filter per the below instructions and it does not work, and there is no other help on removing a block filter? This was the supposed fix:

"The Message filter that you have created can be opened and edited by selecting the Message filters... entry in the Tools menu."

But as said above, there is no Message Filters option in the Tools menu and I am not the only one having this problem!

I just don't want my contact to think I have tried to filter/block him, but I am now in the quandary of not finding any way to release it?

v 52.8.0 (32 bit) - How do I move to the next email message when I have an email open and I just want to stay on the message pane I am on (i.e., do not close the message pane to return to the Inbox), and simply move to the next (read or unread) message? I do not see any option to go BACK (to the PREVIOUS) or FORWARD (to the NEXT) email? Are these buttons available for use within the message pane, and I am just not seeing them?

Otherwise, it seems I have to close the message pane, which returns me to the Inbox pane (or whatever "box" I was in), and then I have to click to open the NEXT email.

On the Inbox pane, however, there are options to customize and add buttons to the Menu Bar for Back, Forward, Next, etc. (or use key combinations: Go > Next....), but this is irrelevant (and fails to work) when I want to stay on the open message pane and move to the Next or Prior (Un)Open message.

It seems there may have been a solution to prior versions... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1162922#answer-974997

Thanks in advance!

Windows 7. Tech support unable to reinstall Windows Live Mail no longer supported by Microsoft. Tech support installed Thunderbird Email. I have an external 5TB hard drive with daily backup to the time of the "crash". How can I migrate email files (file extensions) from back-up drive to new Thunderbird?? If possible?

I have had this problem for quite a while, noticed it a few months ago, first noticed my folders in TB were being duplicated and triple at times, I was going to TB Troubleshooting and deleting the dups from there, but there seems to be no end, I also have this problem in my Windows 10 program files, just about every folder has duplicates, the easiest way is sometimes to uninstall and reinstall a program which seems to work, for how long?? I will post a jpg of TB folder to give you an idea, I was being helped but lost contact, and didn't get finished, could this be some type of virus? I use MalwareBytes, Windows Defender, Acronis seem to think Cloning may have something to do with this problem, they have been trying but it didn't get me anywhere. If someone could give me a guide to approaching this problem I would be happy to try, otherwise I may have to format my SSD and HDD and start from scratch, Ideas on the easiest way to do this would be helpful., but I don't want to copy the problem to a fresh install of Windows.

Thanks for all the help so for. God bless all James
