Hi Folks!

I changed email host and in Thunderbird (TB), copied all messages from the old, previous email account to the new one. I then disabled the previous/old account.

The issue is that now when I open an existing email in the new TB account, the body of the message doesn't appear and I'm prompted for "Enter your password for _____" , where "_____" is the name of the old server.

The tragedy is that I can't see the body/text of many messages. It's as if the email in the new acct is still tied to the old server.

Can anyone shed some light on this and offer a fix please? Cheers!

Hello

I've noticed if I have the same label setup on 2 pc's and I label a couple of mails on 1 pc, it doesn't sync with the other one and vice versa. Is there a way to make them sync? Rather annoying.

have mac 10.10.5 -tried to install newer firefox browser (not compatible) and in process lost old version of broswer and all bookmarks. Can find and reinstall original browser and regain my bookmarks

I'm buying a new computer and I'm wondering is there a method/procedure that I can use to transfer the entire FF browser including settings, extensions, bookmarks, and passwords without having to reinstall all those items individually? I know I can save and import bookmarks but what about everything else? I look forward to anyone comments. Thanks

I have a client that was until 3 weeks ago using XP and TB. His HDD was dying so rebuilt to W10 and installed TB 91.8.0.

If I copy over the profile, I can get TB to load it and his previous email and accounts appear but I can not collect new mail “the connection with the server was interrupted”. I spoke with the host, Zen, and the account credentials are correct, I can login to web mail. The advice from Zen was to setup the profiles manually and this worked for some reason, I can collect email, however, because the old profile was pop and mail was deleted from the server after a number of days the old mail is sitting in the old profile.

So, the old profile, with old email inside will not collect new mail, commence hours of research. If I set up a new profile, I can get new mail but don’t have access to the old profile and email.

I tried loading the old profile, which will not connect for new mail but does display the old mail, then creating new/existing email accounts to get the new email but I get a new message saying “incoming server already exists”.

I appear to be stuck, I can have the new mail working with no old mail or the old mail visible with no collection of new mail but not both.

Any pointers or help would be much appreciated.

I've checked other replies to this question but I seem to be having difficulty. My Mac is running 11.6.5 of the OS and version 91.8.1 (64-bit) of Thunderbird. I located the Thunderbird folder on the Mac and copied over my network onto the PC (Downloads folder to start with). The PC is running version 10.0.19043.1645.

I've then gone into C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming and copied and pasted the Thunderbird folder from Downloads into there. Everything transfers successfully. I've gone into C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\n8bomz85.default and deleted the pkcs11.txt file as posted elsewhere

When I open Thunderbird (91.8.1 on Windows) I'm prompted to setup a new email account. From what I've read, opening up should take me straight into my mail that is currently sitting on my Mac. I'm clearly doing something wrong - can anyone help please?

I downloaded the latest Firefox to my Linux and got this error message: W: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file ......etc. There's more, but can you tell me what happened and if I need to worry? I haven't had any trouble using Firefox since the update. I've attached a screen shot of the whole message.

I appreciate any help.

I'm upgrading from windows 10 to windows 11. Will Thunderbird make the transition without problems? Same question for Firefox.

Will I need to completely reinstall and reconfigure Thunderbird and Firefox after the Windows 11 upgrade?

Hello,

IS there any plan for TLS to go away with any upcoming release? Is there away to sign up for release notes to come to your inbox in advance?

thank you, Amanda

I just discovered this PPA thanks to OMG Ubuntu. But is this PPA official?

I'm trying to migrate my Firefox application and all of its associated data from my old computer (Windows 7) to my new computer (Windows 10). I copied my Mozilla folder from my old computer onto a flash drive. Then on my new computer, I executed the application from the flash drive, but it doesn't have my associated data from my old computer. What should I have done?

I updated to version 99.0.1 but it keeps on going back to 98.0.2. Things I had tried:

• Uninstall and reinstall Firefox
• Refresh in about:support
• Use a new profile

I think it is happening daily around the same time. Suddenly my pages in Firefox will stop loading. Then I need to close and reopen it. And then it will prompt me to start with a new profile because I am using an older version. On check, my Firefox had been reverted to version 98.0.2. Then I have to update and then only I can change back the profile.

Had to clean up hard-drive on Mac OS Catalina - erase, restore, etc and reinstall thunderbird. I have reinstated all my emails but apparently not my addressbook. I have a Time Machine backup that I've been restoring from. Where will I find my email addressbook and how to restore it? Many thanks.

I use Firefox as the browser for my email. Recently I have been unable to open or download pdf attachments (or any attachment) to emails. When I click on the attachment I get the message javascript:void(0).

I contacted the email company who said there was no problem at their end and that the problem was with Firefox and pop up blockers. I followed the advice in the attachment to unblock for my email account - but this did not solve the problem.

So I then tried Edge for my emails and I can open attachments in Edge.

So the problem is with Firefox.

Any advice please? Thanks

Finally! I successfully migrated from Eudora 7, but I had to use TB 17.  Where do I go from here?

I'm running a Mac (10.12.6) with different flavors of Windows in different Parallels VM's, and in order to keep my Eudora install safe I did the conversion on a Win 10 32-bit VM on my creaky old MacBookPro which is disconnected from my network.

So now I want to get a current version of TB running with my newly minted TB data on my primary desktop computer. Typically I am concurrently running the following Parallels VM's: Win 7 32-bit, Win 10 32-bit and Win 10 64-bit.

Makes no difference to me which VM I start with, I just don't know how to get from TB17 on my laptop to TB95(?) on one of my desktop VM's.

Is there an easy way to downgrade back from the beta channel to stable? The downgrade protection feature seems to be a major blocker of just installing the latest stable version. Noticing high RAM usage on Firefox 100 and crashes which is making it hard to use for a daily web browser.

Hello, since migrating from Chrome to Firefox, I have used the Import Wizard to successfully transfer over my bookmarks and history, but I just can't seem to get my logins/passwords over. The wizard finishes saying that it successfully imported saved logins and passwords, but nothing shows up in the password manager. I am running Windows 10 64bit and Firefox is up to date. Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks
