Thunderbird IMAP on Yahoo mail - how do I ensure that *all* folders, messages and attachments downloaded - with one command???

I'm using Thunderbird 149.02 to make a local copy of all folders, messages and attachments on my yahoo mail account. I don't yet see an obvious way to issue a command to Thunderbird to accomplish this.

I'm using export.imap.mail.yahoo.com as the IMAP server as some of the folders have >10000 messages (none have >100000 messages, and there is no significant real-time email arriving to the account while I do this procedure.)

In settings/offline settings I have "automatically follow detected online state" and "download messages for offline use when going offline [yes].

In account settings/synchronization & storage I have Disk space: Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age"; "to recover disk space, old messages can be permanently deleted..." I have "Don't delete any messages" and "Always keep starred messages"

With these settings, I've tried (from the main menu) File -> Offline > Download/Sync now, then "Download and/or sync..." I have selected Mail Messages, and the Select button takes me to a table where I have selected the main account folder and all sub-folders.

With these settings, Thunderbird appears to go through some of the folders and downloads messages from, them, and after a while says there are no new messages (I don't have the specific text, but it ceases interacting with the server". If I repeat the Download/Sync now procedure, it appears to download more messages, will continue for a while, then stop in the same way.

When I compare the size of Thunderbird's local account folder, it appears to grow after each of these iterations, but is (after half dozen cycles through this) has only reached about 2/3 of the total stoage size reported by Yahoo. While I understand the storage mechanisms would differ significantly between yahoo and Thunderbird, I don't believe I've found a single sure-fire way to accomplish what I set out to do in the first place (which is get a complete copy, through IMAP, of all emails, folders and attachments.

What am I missing?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

This thread

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1538723

This is for high contrast theme users such as the greyeve theme (universal windows 10 darkmode theme)

Which is the top google result for "thunderbird high contrast override" Has been locked and so I cannot post this reply. Since that thread does not contain a valid usable answer

Anyone coming in from google search, here is the answer

Go to general -> config editor and set the following value to 1 browser.display.document_color_use = 1

Greetings, I'm some insight on having to constantly enter my password (ISP) to download email messages. Ever since I can remember when I started Thunderbird I would enter my ISP password for my accounts once and it would download the messages as long as Thunderbird was running. I think after a Thunderbird update, now every 10 minutes when Thunderbird checks for new email messages I'm prompted to enter my ISP password. I do not tell Thunderbird to remember my password and I'm not sure what has changed to cause this, any insight is appreciated!

Hello -- I'm hoping someone will be able to help!

I'm running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.6466) with an Intel Core i7 processor.

Thunderbird suddenly started crashing repeatedly since yesterday. It ran long enough for me to install version 140.9.1esr, but still crashes repeatedly within a couple minutes of running the application, even if I don't do anything such as trying to reply to a message.

Please see below what I get in the Windows Event Viewer, pretty much the same for each crash. I have also pasted the contents of the following file (the others mentioned above don't exist).

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppHang_thunderbird.exe_5d8d3f9d863d0b28eacbd2a393cdc3d04ef559_c250478b_deffcb88-26f8-4204-bffd-7e6fd5a2ea88

I've gone to Troubleshooting Information, I've "cleared startup cache", I've tired "Troubleshoot Mode" and still Thunderbird crashes. There's nothing in Crash Reports.

Any help would be truly appreciated!

Best regards,

Miles Montelius

EMAIL NOTIFICATION SOUND ALERTS INCONSISTENT

As long as I've used TB, which is many years now, I've had no complaints. I have absolutely no desire to change to a different program.

That being said, I'm at wits' end with the recent issue of Notification Sound Alerts (NSA) upon delivery of a new message. Simply stated, beginning about 6 or 8 months ago, the NSA seem to simply work whenever they want to. I can go a month or two at a time and receive the NSA, and then suddenly one day, NSA will stop functioning on its own. This "pause," we'll call it, will last 4 or 5 months, then then suddenly begin to work again.

I have attempted every imaginable fix as recommended in this forum. There's no need to list them all, because I've made every suggested adjustment that's been recommended. But there's no rhyme or reason to why the NSA will work as programed for a period, and then decide on its own to stop working.

I don't know if this is a glitch in TB that is simply beyond my feeble attempts to rectify, or if any other TB users are experiencing the same issue. I have even gone so far as to attempt to find an Add-On that will supplement the NSA. However, none that I have uncovered, particularly those suggested in this Forum, seem to be compatible with either the version of TB or Windows 10. I understand that Win 10 is not longer supported in the forum, but please! I do not want to migrate years of email files to another program. I want to use TB but simply need to be "Alerted" when new messages hit the Inbox.

Any assistance or suggestions (except those basic adjustments that proliferate the forum, i.e insure the sound mixer is not muted, etc, etc) would be greatly appreciated and thanks for listening.

I donate monthly to Thunderbird and subscribe the the Thunderbird Newsletter. A few times I have received an email from Thunderbird Newsletter with no letter body to the email - only the header that says, Update Profile"

I need more information than that before I screw up something that is working fine. A two word header on an email does not provide enough information. I need to know: What profile - my Thunderbird email profile or is there another one for the Newsletter? If the email is referring to my email profile, why does it needs updating? Where to update it? Why is there no message in the body of the Newsletter email? I also would like the link to the Newsletter.

Your support articles have no information about resolving this issue. The Thunderbird Newsletter email is a "no reply."

Well, I don't know how I did it, but:

I'm trying to sync my Firefox between 2 PCs. I had trouble with it, and now the situation is: a) my source PC asks me to create a new profile as it spits the dummy on my existing one; it does not offer me the option of creating a new account b) my destination PC does the same. In both cases, when I choose the "Sync and save data" menu option, then enter my email, I get the message: "This profile was previously synced to a different account. To keep your data...To sign in using <email address>, create a new profile." Creating a new profile does not have all the configuration and info that I have in my current profile.

It would be nice if I could reset everything back to square one with the sync process. Does anyone have a good suggestion?

I am running Firefox 149.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10. FF tells me that there is an update. I downloaded the update, and when I restart FF, it does not update. Version 149.0 is re-started, and Help --> About Firefox again tells me to restart to upgrade. I have tried the upgrade at least three times.

Third-party Password Managers

I am running Firefox 147 on a Windows 10 desktop PC. I am using DualSafe Password Manager. However, the 'Ask to save passwords' option is ticked in my Settings (see attached screenshot), and also greyed out so I can't alter it. Firefox keeps asking to save passwords for sites that I sign into. Can anyone suggest how I can fix this. To my way of thinking, if a thrid-party password manager is installed, Firefox should see this (it does) and automatically set itself to not ask.

A "send later" button came up one morning instead of the usual "send" button. When I clicked on the write button to see where the "send" button was, several choices came up but when I clicked on the "write" choice I lost the other choices and now can't get back to the original write button and still no "send" button appears anywhere on the menu. I can save messages to Draft but still can't actually send them. I can still receive emails, just can't send them! Help!

YTS not working properly on Firefox but works fine on Chrome (video/player issue?)

I’ve been noticing an issue with YTS-type sites on Firefox. The site either loads partially, the player doesn’t start, or it keeps buffering without playing anything.

What’s strange is that the exact same site works perfectly fine on Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. Videos load instantly there, but on Firefox it either breaks or takes forever.

Things I’ve already tried: – Cleared cache and cookies – Disabled all extensions – Tried in private window – Checked network (no issues)

It feels like something related to Firefox compatibility with the video player or scripts used on these sites.

I also tested another version here which seems to work better on Firefox:

ytsmx https://ytsmx.stream/

Not sure what’s different (maybe a different player or encoding), but it loads without issues for me.

Has anyone else faced this or knows what might be causing it?
