I just installed Thunderbird 91.8.1 and would like to migrate pst files generated by Outlook 2010.

It somewhat works - if I do "Tools --> Import --> Mail --> Next" and select Outlook, Thunderbird starts importing apparently all the pst files that are present on the PC, without allowing which ones to import to be explicitly specified.

Is there a way to specify which specific pst files are to be imported?

Good Evening, I had to reinstall Windows 10. My computer repairman installed Thunderbird along with much of my software. Since the reinstall I cannot Upgrade to Thunderbird 91.8.1. The auto update fails and the re-install does not upgrade to the new version. I have downloaded the new version many times and it still stays with the old version after the re-install. A couple times Thunderbird said I had the new version after I re-installed Thunderbird, but after restarting Thunderbird it goes back to the old (91.7.0) version.

Should I delete Thunderbird before I try to install? If I do will I loose all of my E-mail and folder information?

I would appreciate any advice. Thank you, Terry Prather [removed email from public]

What can I do to recover my account etc ? Not sure what the issue is here.

I experienced a problem with Thunderbird suddenly not recognizing my password. Kept giving me a notice that said my password/account had been "blacklisted". I've never seen that in 20 years. I called my local internet company, Comcast.net for help. He walked me through deleting and re-installing several times before it dawned on me that Bitdefender (anti-virus software) might somehow be blocking my password. I turned off VPN and unchecked all the boxes at Bitdefender. And I could suddenly reinstall Thunderbird e-mail addresses. HOWEVER, all the folders, which I think were stored locally (on my laptop) are gone. I had lots of stuff I use on a daily basis in those folders. How do I get them back? Can I get the back? My server is IMAP but I don't know if they were stored online or on my laptop. Somebody help me, please?

So Firefox did an auto-update a few days ago, and when I opened the browser EVERYTHING was gone. Passwords, bookmarks, etc.

I've managed to get the old bookmarks moved over, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the old passwords back. The old data is in a folder on my desktop, do I just copy and paste the login and key 4 files from that folder to the new folder?

Sorry if this seems like a dumb question, I'm a pleb and this is the first time I've experienced this. :(
