I am running Thunderbird 115.5.0 on a Win 7 Pro PC (yeah, I know). I recently retired and am trying to change from my work e-mail settings to my personal Gmail account. I have the incoming server set to pop3.gmail.com and the port to 995. Authentication is SSL/TLS and normal password. The outgoing server is set to smtp.gmail.com and authentication is No Authentication, with port 465. When I click on the Get Messages icon Thunderbird doesn't seem to do anything. Is there something else I need to do, or does one of the settings need changing?

Thanks!

I backed up a zip file using Thunderbird's built-in export backup function, reinstalled the system, and downloaded the latest Thunderbird. After importing, the password memorized by the password manager could not be recovered.

I used a primary password

There is no prompt to enter the master password when importing. There may be a process error here ?


Fortunately, I passed firefox_decrypt The project decrypted the password and filled it into the password manager

MacbookPro needed service which wiped hard drive. Reinstalled back up (to Ventura), but Thunderbird app was trashed. Reinstalled Thunderbird, but I can not see received emails from 2019-2023 (now), but oddly, can see all sent emails from 2020. How do I get my missing emails and categories? The web instructions make no sense to me. As I understand, my profiles are separate from the app, but it is not clear at all how I can toggle from one to another while in Thunderbird. Thanks for your help

hey all

when i downloaded and installed Thunderbird beta it imported my account settings fine, but lost the list of automatically allowed image loading emails/urls so now i have to add everything again.

if i switch back to the stable release, how can i make sure this list is kept?

feedback - you may want to provide some way to automatically import that going between versions so its not lost (i couldn't find it after switching) and even export all settings for backup - i remember having to change region etc info (im in Australia).

I am about to lose access to my work gmail account (new job). I used Google Takeout to download all my emails in .mbox format. I then used Mozilla Thunderbird (with the ImportExportTools NG add-on) to access the emails. They are currently available in a folder called WorkEmailBackup within my local folders section on Thunderbird.

I would like to add these emails to my pre-existing personal hotmail account. I have set this account up on Thunderbird. However, when I drag the WorkEmailBackup folder into my hotmail inbox (in Thunderbird), not all the emails are copied over. Thunderbird says there are 7730 emails in the WorkEmailBackup folder, but only 2212 will copy into my hotmail account. I have tried several times, but the transfer always stops at 2212 emails, and I can see that emails are missing. I have also tried highlighting the emails individually (rather than copying the whole folder), but have had the same problem.

Please help :(

When I looked at my profile I find that there are several folders created for each of my email addresses at different times. I had wondered about the possibility of clean install of each of the accounts (IMAP) so this would pickup everything from the individual servers. Then copying across the local folders and my address book. Is this possible/feasible? Would it just be easier to import everything? Where is the address book stored. I also have TB backed up on an external drive (insurance). Thanks

I'm trying to migrate old messages (stored under pop) in an outlook .pst.

choosing Tools, Import, then selecting Import from Outlook, immediately gives a "No Profile Found" above the import tool.

I'm not even clear if this is referring to a Thunderbird profile, an outlook profile, or possibly a file in an import directly somewhere?

anyone have suggestions?

I have been using Firefox for ages and never had a problem - love it - but now I see the remark: Firefox has ended support for Windows 8 and Vista on my screen at the right top corner. It also will no longer update my computer.

I do have and use Windows 10 - so I don't see what is the problem? I tried to refresh and that didn't work either.

Please help because I like to stay with Firefox but I do need to update and keep my computer secure.

I am not very computer savy so please tell me what to do in simple word.

Thank you for your help Christine
