Hello community, Is there a solution to integrate a Microsoft Exchange email account into Thunderbird? It simply does not work, because there is neither POP3, nor IMAP, and also no certificate. :(

Thanks and best regards

Hi, I kept OS Snowleopard around for years too long in order to keep using Eudora. I finally got fed up with viruses/crashes, having to rebuild the mailboxes, but I was never able to find anything to take its place and have frankly been limping along ever since. I regularly need to find things going back months, years, and even decades. It used to be simple with Eudora. Recently, one of my parents passed away and I'm kind of the family scribe, so I really need to pull together all the past communications, from Eudora (going back to almost 1990), gmail, yahoo, my website, icloud, my college alumni address, my Ronin Institute address, my 15 Sonic addresses--and there's probably a few I'm forgetting offhand. I really need to consolidate them. I tried various email clients, including years ago a previous version of Thunderbird, but they were a lot of work to set up and couldn't handle all the email addresses.

I see better reviews of Thunderbird now. Can Thunderbird really handle all those email addresses? Since my Eudora mbox files are still on OS Snowleopard, and I'm running Macbook M1 with the latest OS now, what's the best way to incorporate the entire archive of messages and also start hopefully wrangling current messages (like I haven't been able to since I had to stop using Eudora)? Eudora pretty much only did POP well, and I actually did appreciate having my data on my own computer, but now there are some email accounts I'd prefer as IMAP and others as POP. Is it possible to mix them? Is it possible to download AND keeps messages available for viewing by phone? This situation has been a problem for me for years--I was just wondering if there might be any volunteers at Mozilla who might be willing to spend a few hours on the phone with me to help me bring my email into the 21st century? Nearly every day of my life I have to let someone down over something I can no longer do or find because I don't have Eudora. But the problem doesn't go away just because I find another program that does some of the things Eudora did--I really need some help integrating everything. Thanks so much for all you do!

Hi,


i want to autoupdate firefox silently on a bunch of servers. When the mentioned settings are in place i'm still promted to update firefox when opening it. This isn't possible for the users as this is something a systemengineer should do. Is there anything i'm missing for a silent autoupdate? There is no JSON file in place. these settings have been distributed by a GPO.


Kind regards,

Remco

I am s-o-o-o gd tired of this happening. Every time it does, I spend days-to-weeks trying to recover a working edition of Tbird. Why can't you build updates that don't lock a customer out of his/her own emails.

I don't know how or when, exactly, it happened. I use Win11pro which is up to date. I have one Tbird install on dropbox so I can access all my emails from any of four different machines. It worked yesterday (on two machines at any rate, I didn't use the others). Today, no matter which machine I log into, I get an message stating that I ' you have launched an older version of Thunderbird. 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, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and ad-ons again. For more information . . .italic text Then it gives an 'exit' button and a 'create new profile' button.

1) I did NOT install a new version of Thunderbird.

2) Insofar as I can tell, the version on Dropbox has not changed so nothing should have altered the profile.

3) I do NOT want to create a new profile -- I have years of data in calendars and emails across multiple accounts.

4) the 'more information' link doesn't work.

Why do you periodically do this to me, Mo? Why can't you make changes that don't destroy a person's account(s), profiles or data? Why do you put up such a useless message without a utility to restore things to the way they should be?

5) I have been searching the internet for hours and I don't see a solution to this problem.

I had a huge problem with M Outlook. In addition it has locked me out of my Office 365 package and I'm not getting help or support. Luckily I had backup completed before the problem. I changed to Thunderbird (using pop3), which I find very good. The back up is approx 8 GB but with many duplicates which I need to clean up. When I click import it seems to limit the file size to 2 GB. How can I import this backup file into Thunderbird to enable me to access the emails, clean up the many many duplicates and reduce the size? I await help, Thanks in advance

I have Thunderbird installed on 3 separate computers in 3 separate locations. When will it be possible that the 3 installations are all completely identical, i.e. they're clones of each other? I would like the folders, filters and address books, for example, alterable by one one installation to update the other two. (Working like, say LastPass)? At the the moment, any filter or folder not present on one of the installations causes emails to end up al over the place!

How do I access and download my saved emails and folders from before the hard drive replacement? The Geek Squad couldn't help. Keep it simple, I'm not a techie.

So what file can I move from the library to get these on my new laptop?
