Here we go again, I CANNOT access any of my emails, accounts or calendars.

When I booted my computer Thunderbird automatically "upgraded" my profile (files) but NOT the program and now Thunderbird can't open it.

I'm getting a stupid and uninformative "a newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version." WHAT VERSION!!!!! WHY WON'T IT TELL ME WHAT VERSION IT THINKS THE DATA HAS BEEN CHANGED TO?????

Because of what was done to me last time (it took me DAYS to re-enter my account information and I never did get my calendar restored!), I was running release 68.3.0 and saying NO to upgrade -- DIDN'T NEED the "upgrade" DIDN'T WANT IT.

I suppose a path of "least resistance" that would get my email working again would be to figure out what version my data is sitting at NOW and then download and install THAT release of Thunderbird.

Anyone know how I can do that?

Or WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT RESTORING MY (&^*( DATA!

THIS IS MADDENING! WHY WHY WHY DOES THIS SOFTWARE DO THIS SORT OF CRAP!!!!!!!!??????? This is the THIRD TIME I've been hosed in the last 2 years!!!!

Dear Sir/Madame, I am looking for a solution to can syncronise Tunderbird with mail server after deleting big amount of mails in Thunderbird. Unfortunately due to the current setup these mails were not deleted from the mail server, still occupying large space of storage. Is there a way to make a sync, where only those mails will stay on the server, which were left in the Thunderbird client after cleaunp?

I have two phones and two computers. Firefox and Thunderbird works on 3 of them. Until today, thunderbird worked fine on this computer. Then I started to get this message "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.ykwc.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." I uninstalled thunderbird to no avail; uninstalled Tbird and deleted the Tbird directory under ...users/(my name)/thunderbird/app data/roaming/. That allowed me to successfully install Tbird. I can receive email on this computer, but i cannot send email. The above message is persistant.

I have contacted my ISP. They indicate that I have all my settings correct. As i indicated, all my other devices work properly.

This is an HP computer running Windows10.

I would be most appreciative of some guidance as to how to fix this problem.

Thank you in advance.

Looking in the menu with an email open, Go /Next /Message F, Message F is grayed out. With an email open I'd like to be able to advance to the next message, or the previous message, without closing the email first. Is this functionality still present?

Been using Thunderbird on my windows PC and Laptop "forever". Since Dec 16, I cannot get my gmail, although my calendar (stored on google servers) works fine. I've gone through your troubleshooting steps (cookies, javascript, etc) and no fix.

My google password contains special characters + and *. Is it possible one of those characters are not passing through from the Thunderbird login prompt to google?

Any other suggestions?

Thank you, Frank Murray fjmurraytx@gmail.com

Who is the brilliant person who came up with the idea of having to use mail merge to send to more than one recipient?

I have used Mozilla almost my entire computer life but this is the feature that is finally going to drive me away to some other product. Sad... you used to be the best of the best but this is ridiculous. Why don't you simply add a half dozen or so buttons to click in response to an "are you sure" prompt?

Firefox updated and now my tabs are above the address bar, I hate it. I have went through all the information I could and created a new chrome folder, downloaded the css and changed user preferences but it sets the tabs to the bottom of the screen not just below the address bar. I think I need a different set of code for the css but cant find a copy. Does anyone know what to do?

Hi

Running Firefox 71.0 (64 bit)

Well seems Firefox has been messing this up again.

Anyone have the new work around solution to get my tabs back on the bottom again. They were fine this morning then shut down and went out to lunch and when I came back they were back on the top again after months of being where I wanted them below my bookmark bar.

Thoughts on this?

Thanks Dave
