Every since updating to Thunderbird 147.0.1, I have noticed that every time I start Thunderbird, it creates a directory called "Thunderbird" in my home directory! This didn't happen before the update and I have a '.thunderbird' directory in my home already! I had a search in the settings for the term "directory" but did not find anything that seemed related. But it seems to be caused by some new setting that has become activated with the update.

I am on an Arch GNU/Linux operating system, if any further information is necessary to help debug this, please let me know. Thanks a lot in advance :-).

My windows 10 PCs are running ver 140 (and say they are running the latest ver and no updates are available, but my W11 Pc is running v144. When I try and copy profile from 140 to 144 about 1/3rd of the directories are missing. I usually do to this prior to going on a trip when I copy from desktop pc running W10 to laptop with W11. Last time I did this there were no problems as both were running v140, but now that the laptop upgraded itself to ver144 that's no longer possible as a third of the directories end up missing - things like Inbox, Trash, Drafts, Archive etc which are fairly important. I've paused all Thunderbird updates until the problem is resolved. Can you help please?

Hi, The question is in the title. I have imported my Outlook data in this 32-bits version (updated to 140.7) . I would like to keep them in a 64-bits version (147). I didn't find the solution. Thank you for helping me. Michael.

Hello, Many thanks for providing thunderbird. After the last update to 115.180.0 (Linux Mint 20) my inbox is shown in a way, that I can not read it anymore. I really do not how to describe it properly. So I attached a screenshot on the part I find difficult to read. I think there is a off by one between the column header an the content. Downgrading to a previous version was not possible - the profile was changed. Can I fix this myself - if yes how. Looking forward to your reply.

I have been using Thunderbird Mail for many years and have been satisfied with it. I followed the recommendation to upgrade to version 145. Then disaster struck: the previous version was completely deleted, including all email accounts and address books. How is that possible?

I have Thunderbird installed on a Surface Pro running Windows10 and on a Surface Pro running Linux Fedora. When I use the Windows10 computer to prepare a Thunderbird export file for the profile, the Fedora machine Thuderbird import command will not read it.

The Windows10 machine has Thunderbird 147 and the Fedora machine has 146. Is the difference in version responsible for the failure to import the profile files? Or is it something else?

If the difference is the version of Thunderbird, then how do I get 147 on my Fedora machine?

If it is something else, what do I do so that I do not lose saved emails and calendar data from 147 version when I am running the 146 version?

While attempting to upgrade my Ubuntu Thunderbird client, I saw the attached screen. I'm concerned because of the unsophisticated style of the page, and the fact that it asks for my password, which makes me think "phishing". Can some trustworthy person confirm that this is a legitimate screen?

(If any relevance, I'm on Macos 12 Monterey) 'Installation and updates' seemed the nearest topic due to the 'update' part of it, since this seems to only have been happening since this version, or I have simply not noticed due to not having needed to know. But if you look at my two screenshots, you will see the issue. There simply is no About Firefox on my firefox. Neither directly listed on the menu, nor as part of the 'help' sub menu.

Is there, for the sake of learning, a simple fix, so that I donlt have to uninstall/re-install? or an 'about config' type fix? Screenshot 1 shows the menu Screenshot 2 shows help sub-menu As you can see, absolutely no About Firefox

And, only potential issue may be, as you'll see from the share data upload is that I've a lot of tabs open, as I've got a lot to get through toniught, and tomorrow. So, maybe, t=though doubtfully, it is because it isn't handling the tabs and this caused a menu entry to be missing? Surely not likely.

Hi!

I installed the Thunderbird app via Play Store a while ago. I have the F-Droid app on my phone, too. I now got a notification from F-Droid offering me an update for Thunderbird. I'm far from a pro. I would have expected an app installed via Play store to only be connected to and updated via Play Store. Is this all safe and okay? There is no Thunderbird update available in Google Play.

Thank you for your help, please let me know if you need any phone specs or version numbers!
