Having trouble transferring local folders, address' and calendar to new computer. Have followed the Mozella instructions and the only folders transferred are Hold and Trash which are a fraction of the folders I have. What am I doing wrong?

If I try to import Mail Message in Outlook 2016, the progress will not proceed at 0%

Both Outlook and Thunderbird were running on 64bit

How to solve this?

Hi, I am a new TB user, and love it so far :) However, I am on Fedora (new to that too) and installed it via the Fedora repository rather than Flathub. You don't need to know that though, the upshot is...

I need to uninstall TB, and then install it again immediately (from another source). I spent WEEKS getting help from a coder who wrote me a python script and all sorts of headaches to get my massive 20 year email archive converted from mac into TB. So I have tons of nested local folders, and all settings set up nicely. I am scared of losing stuff, account details, settings, worst of all local folders and the emails contained in them.

Please can someone advise me how best to go about uninstalling it and reinstalling it while leaving my entire profile, emails, settings, accounts intact. Is that possible? Thanks

I know there are instructions on how to copy certain folders from the old computer to the new one, but I have a slightly different question. I removed the hard drive from the old computer and have it in a case where I can now attach the old drive via a USB connection, to the new computer. If I were to copy the entire C: partition from the old computer to the new one, would that take care of getting all the Thunderbird folders where they need to be on the new computer? I pretty much need to do this anyway for all my other non-Thunderbird folders.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I successfully logged in using oauth2. But after I clicked the "allow" button on the oauth2 page of google. However, after that, I still see "unable to log in at serve. Probably wrong configuration, username or passward".

One of my machines has Windows 7 installed and uses Chrome browser. Recently I had a need to install Firefox. As soon as the install completed, all of my existing Google related shortcut icons changed to some generic type. No matter what I did I could not change the shortcut icons back to their original. I uninstalled Firefox and they all came back. Any suggestions?

• • • After messing with it for about 8 hours I got it resolved*** I'm moving thunderbird to a new computer. So far I've created a new profile on a the new computer's G: drive and the program is also installed in a different folder on the G: Drive. (I'm planning to have two copies of Thunderbird on the computer). The other copy for different mailboxes will be on the C: Drive. I copied the profile from the old computer to the new computer's G: Drive in a separate location. When I open Thunderbird it lists all my email accounts in the moved profile but when I go into the inboxes they are all blank. I noticed if I left click on the inbox and go to properties it's showing the inbox location as the F: drive (which is where it was on the old computer) for example mailbox:///F:/Thunderbird/Profiles/......... I don't see a way to edit the inbox location. How can I change that so it's looking for the mailboxes on the G: Drive instead of the F: Drive? The path is also a little different between the two computers. The old computer was: F:/Thunderbird/Profiles/........ and the new computer is G:/Thunderbird Data/Profiles/.........

Also I don't know if this makes any difference...On the old computer a 32 bit version of Thunderbird was running even though it is a 64 bit computer. The new computer is running the 64 bit version. They are both updated to the latest Thunderbird release.

Thanks

I have had thunderbird for years and donated. I had a password request in late 2022 which failed so my last inbox item was11/Oct 2022. I would very much like to recover my system for Geoffrey@dunard.uk

When installing 115, I get to a page that says "Just one more step! Finish installing, and start enjoying Thunderbird." But there is no "Finish" or similar button. What do I do?

I have a large number of subfolders in my @gmail.com/All Mail. Using version 102 and all previous versions for many years with few problems. I have tried to update to SuperNova a couple of times. It takes my All Mail folder and divides it into two identical 'Archives/@gmail.com/All Mail' folders and half of my subfolders are in one of them and the others are in the second one. There is no rhyme or reason as to which ones it decides to seperate as far as I can tell. It makes it time consuming and inconvenient to find what i want, especially as it now runs off the page despite choosing Compact view. Why is this happening, and how can I fix it?

All of a sudden 4-5 days ago I no longer can receive my Washington Post, only way is to scroll way down to last known one. What in blazes is going on at Tbird? Who is responsible? Is there anyone who can put it back at once? Yes my subscription is valid. If all of you refuse my small request, it means I have to PAY my own tech support, which is not fair of you. I don't care who messed it up; I only want my paper back NOW. I have noticed that Tbird is now run by volonteers; is that the problem? PLEASE help. Thank you

Dear Friends at Firefox,

There is only one reason that i'm using Firefox less and less ; because of the download files options. When i choose the option to download to a particular location, inspite of that, most files get down loaded to the firefox download folder and i always have to go there and then copy or move it out to a location desired.

There is no easily vavilable info about that.

Would request some info and help for the same. i have tried all that i could from the current browzer settings and it has not helped.

Been a loyal fan of Firefox and would love to have this resolved.

Thank you,

Ashish

I accidentally used wrong disk when downloading a big file. So my primary disk, where I'm running OS became 100% full. Then I removed this big file, checked that disk is not full anymore, and tried to download again, this time choosing the right disk, but now the Firefox internal file browser, where we open files, and select folder to download is broken, pointing wrong location when selecting disk/folders. I tried restarting OS, reinstalling firefox, but it's internal file browser is still broken. In Chrome it's ok, in system file explorer is ok, problem occur only with Firefox. I'm using Pop!_OS 22.04.

Is there a way I can reset this internal file browser to work properly again?

Getting an error while setting up the Thunderbird account Near Authentication if we select the Auto Detect option I can't move forward because the done option is not getting high-lited if i click on retest it is getting error

I've been waiting patiently for you all to include mac desktop versions and I was so delighted to find you'd finally done it! I'm still very happy because I LOVE thunderbird but for the first time ever, I can't make it work right. I know the problem is on my end but I can't seem to fix it. I am switching over from Airmail to Thunderbird and the transition has been horrible which is why I was leaving Airmail to begin with. So now I've entered all my info and it seems I successfully migrated the accounts. Unfortunately, it appears that the folder problems followed over to Thunderbird. Some of my 'airmail specific folders' are showing up in Thunderbird and it won't let me delete them. Also, the inbox seems mapped funny ... there's the regular trash can but deleted messages don't go to that folder, they go to inbox.trash - but whyyyyy?

This is the message I just sent to airmail: I'm having the worst trouble with the folders and inbox. I reformatted my computer - iMac Desktop (2017) Sonoma 14.1.2 and everything went fine except with airmail. All my folders for my primary account are gone. The whole folder system seems corrupted or something. I'd like to be able to start over fresh but I can't seem to do that no matter how hard I try. I'm currently running the beta version (bc the regular app stopped working a loooong time ago) and it's a disaster. I currently have one icloud (hschulienlcsw@icloud.com with an alias of heatherschulien@icloud.com) account, private domain accounts (heather@heatherschulien.com and junky@heatherschulien.com) and one gmail account that is forwarded to the junky account. My icloud folders seemed to stay intact but not my others. When I tried to migrate to a new app, it brought with it all the folder problems from airmail. It appears the main problem is with the main account: heather@heatherschulien.com.

Also, how do you add 'alias' emails? Also having trouble setting up the calendars... nothing is working like it's supposed to :(

I'm dying, please help me :)
