I downloaded Thunderbird, but cannot get it to work. I have tried 3 different accounts. One is from "wideopenwwest", one is from "live.com" and one is "icloud.com". Any ideas?

I have a workstation running XP (a perfectly good O/S - regardless of what Microsoft says) and on which I installed Thunderbird (v2.0.0.24)

For some reason, despite selecting to NOT have automatic updates, Thunderbird keeps automatically upgrading to the latest version (currently 24.4)

I have been using Firefox since the second public offering of v1, and been using Thunderbird since about 5 days after public release. When V3 of Thunderbird was released, i found it caused problems and could not forward or re-send emails in which someone had included emoticons (I don't use them myself, but some friends do). If your forums go back far enough, you may find my complaints I raised at the time. (the problem occurred on every computer I tried it on, so it wasn't that 'my' computer, O/s or whatever was the problem)

Unable to get anyone at Mozilla to address the actual issue, I reverted to using v2.0.0.24, and to the best of my knowledge, the issue is still a problem on new versions. Sometime since then, the whole look of Thunderbird has been changed from the nice 'clean' look of V2, to its current look, which I believe is an absolute mess. Tabs are a great idea on Firefox, but on Thunderbird they are as useful as Microsoft's idea of 'grouping' toolbar icons. It might make it look pretty, but it's bloody annoying for those of us who actually need to do work.

On at least 12 occasions, I have deleted the 'latest' version from my computer and reinstalled v2.0.0.24. Every time, I carefully ensure that automatic updates are disabled. Then, as if by magic, and usually within a week or two, I open Thunderbird to find the latest version staring back at me.

Folks, I am a great fan of Mozilla, and over the years, have encouraged probably hundreds of people to use Mozilla software over the pap offered by Microsoft. Unwanted updates on my computer ranks up there with unwanted bloatware, unwanted spyware and unwanted viruses.

Can anyone offer a solution to this problem? If I am unable to resolve it once and for all, I'll be 'firing' Thunderbird from my life.

I'm having major problems with Apple Mail right now and, who knows? , maybe the is related to why I can't import my mailboxes into Thunderbird. But that's just the issue right now—when I go through the Import process, it says "No mailboxes found". Can anyone help me?

I have downloaded my Emil to my laptop using thunderbird and then I try to change the name of storage folder to D:\gmail and after that I could not find my previously downloaded email.I need to jknow how I can file my previous downloaded folder.

Hello,

I want to migrate my Outlook data to TB. I use the tools menu > import > outlook. TB begin nice but after some minutes it stop copying. It miss a lot of folders and the accounts are not copied.

In task manager, you can see it stop writing and the progression stay at 33% .

Nothing happen after this.

Thank you for the help.

See the attached snip. Regardless of whether i check the "Always perform......" box or not or click the Set As Default button or the Skip button this message ALWAYS appears. I can click the X to close and press on but it is getting very annoying. Any ideas friends?

I downloaded. I donated. Then a screen come up with an envelope and some love hearts saying "one more step". But there is no indication as to what that step is or how to take that step! How does one install this program?

now have a second 'newer' PC, runnng W7 ultimate however I want TB to be 100% same on both machines. TB will not allow(even see) an 'addon' called 'confirmbeforedelete' or 'recoverdeletedmessages' which work GREAT on the XP machine. Both PCs have TB, version 52.3.0(32bit) so I'm confused as to why these addons aren't available.

Any help is appreciated.

I'm trying to make a big leap from Pegasus Mail, which I've been using since around 1992 and have something like 48,000 messages saved, from.

So I just found out how to color code in-box messages, that's cool.

But what about if I have an in-box message that I want to mark so it stays at the top of the heap? In Pegasus, it can be marked Urgent and it does that. But what about Thunderbird?

Thanks!
