It appeared Thunderbird crashed as when I opened it up it asked me to establish an account. Then when I did that was all I had, no email folders, no trash, none of my other email accounts. When I followed the procedures about where the profile was and that everything was there turned out that it was for my now new profile. Where is my previous one? Why is it so complicated. Why is the explanation about profiles so difficult to understand. It takes you where these hidden folders are but it tells you nothing about what to do about it!!

I have latest version of FF and MacBook Pro 10.9.2. Recently had major keychain problems and worked a lot with Apple to solve them. Now all is well but…. I am now frequently asked to enter my master password when I am in FF; they has never happened before. For example, when I go to Amazon, a window opens asking for the master pw. In some cases, this is not a big deal because I can cancel the request and my keychain will get me into the site. In other cases, my keychain does not work if I cancel the request for the MPW and I have to enter my access information. I asked Apple support about this, and they said to contact you.

I have been using Thunderbird since the mid to late 90's ... and (this may horrify some) I have something like 250.000 emails and at least 1000 folders for my personal email (most for my hobby)

I have noted the recent changes to Mozilla concerning folder management and I really like them

The only problems I am having currently is the unable to move error (which I seem to fix by reindexing via REPAIR FOLDER) ... and I cannot seem to find a way to search for a folder so that I can right click ... Properties ... Repair folder

Does anyone know of a way to locate a folder within Thunderbird?

I can easily search for the email address ... and then I see a LOCATION ... but the problem is ... I have a mulitiered directory structure ... and am having trouble finding under which parent / child / child-child directories to look

Using Thunderbird 24.4.0 on Ubuntu. Is there any way to do a global search in quoted messages? I read https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Thunderbird/gloda, section "Content whittlers". I take it from that description that it's a feature to exclude quoted message content from global search? Is there a way to enable global searching in quoted text?

Help! I am so frustrated. Every time I look at an email I have to scroll back through all the folders to get back to the inbox. It is really upsetting and a huge waste of time. I have to wait until it scrolls through back to the inbox. It is so inefficient!

How do I shortcut this and get back to the inbox in one step?
