Thunderbird didn't seem to download properly. My Thunderbird window does not have the top lines that say: File, Edit, View, etc., and Get Mail Write, Address Book.

Version 102.2.2 goes "unresponsive" when I click get messages for several minutes, eventually will download one or two emails, but they are ones I have already deleted, and occur multiple times. Can I go back to version 91? Where can I get the install file? Since the problem started with the update its a problem with it, not antivirus software. There are no other programs using significant cpu time while t'bird is unresponsive. This is critical, I will have to find another email program if you don't fix this soon.

Hello, my computer died but before it did i backed up my Thunderbird profile files - the backup is 77.8GB so big to zip using export. I installed Thunderbird v.102.8.0 64 bit; and copied my backed up files over and now my email account list shows when clicking the dropdown arrow next to "get messages" but the email account list (72 email accounts) does not show in the left hand pane.

I have attached images of what I see, what is showing in app data - both local and roaming, and also of both .ini files.

Using the troubleshooting setting the software is pointing to the correct location.

I would truly appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Robin Monroe

(note. i'm very wary of posting this question here, as i've been told off, this apparently not being the right place for such matters. but this is where i get to from "Help>Submit Feedback…" in Thunderbird, and also Bugzilla leads me here. if this is not the right place, please can someone kindly tell me where is?)

102.2.2 has really messed things up for me. i can't see any emails after August 9th in any of my Saved Searches, and this is causing real problems.

i've tried deleting the global database and reindexing, but that did nothing.

I currently have TB 102 running on a Linux Mint desktop. The email is POP3 from att (actually snet). They require a different app password for each computer. I have the different app password. I want to use my Linux Mint laptop to access my email and use a backup of the desktop's profile when the desktop is out of service. Laptop does not have any .thunderdird folder yet as TB has not been started. I am looking at the http://mzl.la/1ApHiU3 support page. It seems that these instructions are replacing Laptop's hidden .thunderbird folder with desktop's .thunderbird folder. This seems odd since Step3 of "On your Destination Computer", opens Thunderbird. Won't that create a .thunderbird folder with new installs.ini and profiles.ini files? They will be replaced in Step8.

I am concerned that Step3's newly created .ini files (which have a different hash that links them) will be lost in Step8 and there is some dependency on that hash value that is not clear. Is that hash sent to the email server so that they can identify the machine/app that is accessing their server?

Is there a more appropriate support page for what I need to do? I am not clear on the subsequent steps to launch TB on the laptop and change the password on the laptop. At some point I would need to reverse the direction to bring the Laptop's Profile back to the Desktop. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Just changed computers and have Thunderbird 102.8.0 64bit installed. All emails present and correct. Trouble is all my addresses are gone. I backed it up from the old computer using MozBackup. I know its old, but not sure how else to do it. Anyhow, although everything else came across from the back up, the email addresses didnt. I thought it might be in my Google account, but that seems to just have all the names but no addresses?? Any ideas??

I've spent most of the night trying to find a solution to the blank, unresponsive screen since TB updated. No folders, accounts, messages, etc. *(see attached image). I'm not the only one with this problem, but in all the "solved" discussions of this problem, none of the solutions have worked for me.

I've toggled between themes, uninstalled/reinstalled TB, checked all settings and configs, run in troubleshoot mode, cleared the caches... Nothing has worked.

I'm able to create and send new messages from this blank page, and I receive them on my other devices. So, it would seem my configs are fine. Kind of lost at this point. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not exactly sure what this is called. Maybe it's in the cache, but I don't know. One of the fastest timesavers I have is that I use the Firefox url feature that makes suggestions as soon as I start typing a url. I pull up dozens, possibly hundreds of articles that I refer to frequently this way, so that I don't have to bother bookmarking them. I don't clear the cache, to keep these references from disappearing. I have to move computers now. My longtime mac is not working well anymore. Is there any way to bring these url suggestions with me when I migrate? Thank you.

I have transferred TB from a win7 to a win10 computer. I had to manually edit the profile.ini file, it mainly installed on C: drive, I needed D: drive. TB works, I can send/receive emails. However I have 2 Inboxes, both being updated using POP account. I only want one global inbox. I suspect the changes I made to the profile.inio file are wrong. Anyone know what I have done wrong?
