I would like to not be a polygamist with my phone/computer. I would like to have Thunderbird Supernova only on my android BLU G91 phone and not K9mail also. I would like to start and stay with supernova. on my google store app, it refuses to allow me to see the thunderbird supernova app to install and only offers me k-9 mail. How do i avoid K-9Mail and later having to switch to Supernova, if i can start at the beginning with Supernova? Thank you.....b³

Installed Tbird Installed Import/Export Add-On Went to Tools > Import/Export and all Import items are grayed out. Also could not create a new file: File > New > Folder. Nothing under "All Folders"

Maybe that is why I can't import? Thanks for any help, John Windows 7 Desktop Currently using: Windows Live Mail 2012

I lost the MOBO on my PC that had Thunderbird on it. I got a new computer and put Thunderbird on it. I want to migrate the address book and emails and such from my old HDD that I have temporarily connected to my new computer. How do I go about that and how do I do it without loosing the emails I have already received?

Got a new computer and I just wanted to transfer all the contacts in my address book from there to my new computer on Thunderbird rather than painstakingly doing it one at a time! Can I import them all?

My e-mail addresses are "orphaned" addresses i.e. originally from Tiscali (now Talk Talk) although my current ISP is now EE. I have been using Windows Live Mail on my Desktop and Laptop PCs (both Windows 7) for several years but recently suddenly could no longer receive any e-mails from on my Desktop PC.

I checked account settings which all appeared to be same on both machines. I was unable to repair WLM so backed up e-mail archive and attempted re-installing WLM - but unable as download / support for WLM from Microsoft has ended.

Anyway I have now installed Thunderbird and can set up accounts OK for my primary and secondary e-mail addresses and then can send out e-mails OK, but have not been able to receive e-mails at all.

(a) If I let Thunderbird set up the accounts automatically they are set up as IMAP and I do then get a list in the account Inbox of the e-mails currently on the server, but none of them will open at all - they just show a blank white page and I get a message that "the server has been disconnected".

(b) If I manually set up the account to POP3 (which I understand is the correct server type for my accounts) when I then try to receive mail a message briefly flashes up for a split second at the bottom of the screen saying how many messages are on the server but then says there are no messages to download.

I have tried altering the account settings in various ways but am not really sure what needs to be altered and have been unable to find any settings that work.

Attached is a screenprint showing the e-mail account settings which currently work OK (under WLM) on my laptop, which hopefully might give some clues as to what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in anticipation of your assistance as to what I need to do to receive e-mails via Thunderbird.

Regards

Mike

HELP!!! When creating the IMAP account, I inadvertently used the same email address as the POP account. Now when I go into Account Setting and selecting the POP account, it tell me an account by this name already exist, please create another. I want to retain the email address I have in the IMAP account. Thanks, Vicki

I just added 2 new emails and want to change which one is default. I know its in account settings somewhere but cannot find it. Where do I change the default email?

Exported address books and lists from 115.12.1 (32 bit) on W8.1, importing to 115.11.1 (64 bit) on W11.

Importing a named list into personal address book works - but the list itself is lost; they all go into one big address book. If I choose Create a new folder they all go into that - but again I've no list name, I can't write a message to the list like I used to be able to.

I can select New Mailing List, give it a name, but now I seem to have to enter each one individually, I see no way to paste in a list.

What am I doing wrong please?

Hi, I’m trying to move from Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit). Using the import wizard fails. Tools > Import select Import From Outlook and the following message appears. “Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client can not fulfil the message request”. I’m taken back to the Import from screen with the addition of a red panel with “No Profile Found” on it. Outlook 2003 is the default e-mail client, checked more than once. I’m trying to migrate to thunderbird so I have no account setting, thinking they would be imported. My pst’s files have been moved to a directory on a different partition to the Outlook programme, tried creating a dummy profile using default Outlook storage and still fails. I’ve looked at converting pst files to mbox, but this doesn’t see to include the account settings. But I could add them manually or I can not import the mbox files or directory structure into Thunderbird. I’ve been messing around trying other things but nothing works. Internet searches, Thunderbird forum searches suggests solutions but all fails and the steps don’t match Thunderbird menu, etc in many cases. I’m stuck. Can anyone give any advice on how to migrate from Outlook 2003 to Thunderbird. Tools, Add-Ins or manual methods, anything just to get me up and running. PS I’ve two pst files, one is the default main Outlook.pst and the second a secondary store I created in the folders of Outlokk called Store.pst, beside the none default storage location everything else is standard for Outlook and Thunderbird.

I recently updated Thunderbird to 115.3.3. When the update was complete it appears to have split my profile into two and created two of Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash. I use Earthlink which is the name of the POP3 account. Now there are Inbox, Drafts, Sent, and Trash for "Earthlink", and a set for "Local Folders". Junk and Archives are only associated with "Local Folders", and "Outbox" shows up under a "Local Folders" header along with all of the folders I used to organize received messages. When new messages are downloaded they appear in "Inbox / Local Folders". Nothing appears in any of the "Earthlink / ..." folders.

I don't recall exactly what it looked like before but there was only one set of the primary folders, and the local folders I created to organize my inbox. I have attached screenshots of the the folder navigation pane, as well as the odd organization of the "Account Settings" tab. I am admittedly not an expert. Any help is appreciated.

Hi.

I've just installed the latest version of Thunderbird on a clean copy of Windows 11.

Thunderbird comes up with no buttons across the top (Get Messages, Write, Print, Address Book, etc).

I can't see an option for displaying them.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks, Dave.

I came across a site "mozdev.org" that gives instructions as to how to download a file called "mailtweak-0.16.xpi" Firefox will not allow me to download it and I cannot find it in the list of Firefox add-ons.

Please advise

example: I click on address book, go to "Tools", select "import Everything" and click "Next". a 2nd window opens:

"Import Options, Account Settings, Address Book, Filters and other data from:"

there is no cue to enter a value such as email address or whatever. "< Back" and "Next>" are grayed out. "Cancel" is the only option. Why must i cancel before anything happens?

This same pattern holds true when trying to migrate the calendar from Outlook. The Wizard's Wand is broken?

Obviously, it is operator error...but what is the error?

Help! TB 60 continuously crashes on all of our machines so we're using 52.9 until the bug is figured out, BUT TB insists on auto-updating to version 60 despite turning off auto-update settings. These are the exact non-default update settings we have. Can you help me figure out why TB continues to auto-update?

user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.channel", ""); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1536598499); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 1536598626); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1536598371); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1536599735); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.telemetry_modules_ping", 0); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification", 1536599607); user_pref("app.update.migrated.updateDir", true); user_pref("app.update.service.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.showInstalledUI", false);

Can current Thunderbird (52.5.2) still import old mail from Outlook Express (on Windows XP SP3)?

Or should I try to install an older version like v38.5.0?

I also have my mail in Outlook 2003 & 2007, but I read Thunderbird hasn't been able to import from a .PST for a long time (since v.17 or so). Let me know if I'm on the right track (and which track is best). I stuck with Outlook far too long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm trying to move my Thunderbird email reader from a W7 desktop to a new W10 desktop. I been trying all the suggestions on the "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder" site and nothing works. Any ideas what is preventing the profiles.ini from loading my profile? I've tried many iterations of the ini file and paths with no success. Any ideas where to look?

Thank you Regards, HW
