Hi, I recently moved to a new computer (win 10 to win 10). I wanted to transfer all of my e-mails, folders and accounts/settings, and plugins.

Initially, I tried using the good old mozbackup (yeah I know it isn't supported but last year I was able to use it without any issues on a laptop I took with me for a trip). It didn't really work well this time. It is a very big backup - 34GB (with over 140GB on disk size which is strange).

So I tried to start over, deleted all the accounts, created a new default account, and copied the Thunderbird folder from the old PC to the new one in its entirety to the new computer.

It seemed to work but after looking at my folders (I use quickfolders) I see that many of the older folders (which do work fine on the old PC) are now empty and after the restart, they are also duplicated (again not all just the older ones - not sure why these are affected and not the new ones).

How do I solve this issue? (I looked around and there are many suggestions but not too many success stories).

my pc had friend so when i got a new one i lost all of my firefox data, how can i get all of it back so i was forced to start all over, i lost all my, bookmarks, tabs, history and saved passwords

Hi; I noticed today that many years of archived emails have disappeared in all but 1 account(yahoo). The only years still there are 2020 and 2021 in 5 different accounts. 5 yrs in 1 account and complete 24 yrs in yahoo account. These accounts archives that disappeared are not stored on the mail server but locally. What has happened??? Can I get them back? How do I stop this from happening?

After moving my thunderbird 104 profile to 115 supernova (including the profiles.ini file), I can see the full list of accounts and folders in supernova, but none of the emails are visible. I can receive and send new messages, but again - none of them are visible when I want to see them later in the inbox or sent folders. Moreover, the right-click mouse button does not work on the whole list of accounts/folders on the left side of the agent. What to do. I have 16Gb of emails and cannot use them.

Thumderbird asked if it could compact folders. Said yes. Now all that shows is the title line for all emails in inbox, but NO content displayed.

Can still see content in emails that are in other folders, seems to be only inbox that will not show content of the emails

New emails arriving will show content as well as some old old emails in inbox

Sometimes when I delete a group of emails from my inbox it deleted the entire inbox. It has happened twice now. When it did it yesterday I had 8 emails selected for deletion. When I hit delete it deleted all 2200 emails in the box. When it was deleting them I confirmed that only 8 were selected by looking at the number of selected in the lower right corner of the screen. Worse, when I click undo the delete it does not restore the 2200 deleted but only the 8 that I had selected for deletion. This is a serious bug and has resulted in loss of all my emails over the few years.

Does anyone know how do I can get my feeds back? I hope all my saved feeds are still stored somewhere as I use them for research. I just went to look something up and the whole heading is totally gone!
