My waitrose.com EMAP account with Plusnet is closing. I intend to replace it with gmail.com, which I previously established to support a mobile phone that I can no longer easily use for particular reasons and which I have now also installed into Windows 10 on my PC.

I envisage retiring my old account, whilst retain the complete 'Local Folders' Waitrose structure for reference and historical reasons, assuming that Gmail will establish separate storage to it's own rules, below (or above?) my history.

Is this a reasonable prospect and can you clarify if Gmail will take over my existing Inbox - Drafts - Sent - Junk and Deleted folders to it's use? Or will Gmail install a separate enviroment to it's own design and function?

And will Tbird continue to include my history folder-set along with the new, in the regular Profile Backups?

Hello, I have my thunderbird data files (emails, etc.) on a separate drive. I had windows, apps on an SSD. The ssd got corrupted so I had to reinstall. Now I need to have Thunderbird point to the files on the separate drive. I have been trying to figure it out from your support articles but it gets way too confusing, especially since the new version of Thunderbird is different from the version I had before. Can you help me? Thank you

Hello,

I finally had to migrate my old Windows7 home computer to Windows10.

TB looks quite different from before.

After using Tools > Import to import the profile folder from the old computer, I'm having four issues:

1. For some reason, TB displays all the email accounts, although they're global: How can I get only the Thunderbird account to be displayed, like before?

2. When hitting F5 to connect and download emails from those different accounts, I'm prompted for their POP3 password. Why is that?

3. Windows won't let me unpin TB's icon in the taskbar. How can I remove it?

4. Is there a way to remove that empty space above?

Thank you.

I transferred my THUNDERBIRD (TB) profile from a Win 7(32bit) - to a Win 10 (64b). The new install can not get my email. I carefully and repeatedly checked every setting with both comp screens side by side.

• • • Every letter, dot, and number are identical.

I can still log in with my UN/PW on the Win 7 box - and I can log in online using my PW.

Every time I try on the Win 10 box get these two errors: FIRST: Login to server inbound.att.net with username mitchg@att.net failed

     [Retry]      [Enter New Password]     [Cancel]

THEN: "Sending of password for user mitchg@att.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded [sys/temp] Server error - Please try again later."

RE: "LATER" - Please note: While this is on the Win 10 box screen I can send and receive email through the same account with TB on my Win 7 box and/or the ATT server webpage interface. I have tried "later" innumerable times for 10 hours.

BTW, I have also deleted the TB pkcs11.txt file more than once. I also opened that file on the Win7 and Win 10 boxes and compared them side by side. Other than the path to the folder they are identical.

Nothing I read indicated I should delete the FireFox file of the same name so I left it alone.

Thanks very much for your help. mitch

The undoubted improvements in Supernova don't work for me.

I tried 'thunderbird.exe -P --allow-downgrade' in 'run.' It did not work.

Thanks for any suggestions

Good Day,

First thank you for your kind service to others who are in need of assistance and direction, as I am positive you dont hear it enough.. but I appreciate your time and effort on behalf of those who do not. So " Thank you ! "

Second, I have installed Thunderbird, and imported my yahoo email from their server and it appears that my email lists are missing,.. The regular contacts are there but the lists I regularly use are not.

Might you point me in the direction of how to accomplish that little feat. or is this simply not something that Thunderbird will do ?

Again, thank you in advance  !

nubi Linux 22.04 LTS. 1st time install TBird 115 appears success server setup; however the Verify fails with timeout circle running forevever. See attached screenshot.

I am installing Thunderbird on my new laptop (Windows 11 Pro). I have used Thunderbird for years on my old Windows 10 machine. I am having difficulty configuring Thunderbird on the new laptop. When I sign in with my email account, it detects the configurations; but when I select 'Done' - it hangs on 'confirming password...'.

I have screen captures of the configuration windows and the configuration requirements from my email provider (shaw.ca); but cannot upload them below (too large?)

Hi,

Just changed email server provider maintaining both domain and mail addresses, however old messages are vanished. As I still can access old provider, is there any way to get that messages and change setup to new provider after?

I was having trouble receiving emails and I couldn't work out the problem. I deleted my mail account and re-added it. Now all my folders are gone. I can see them in my profile, but can't work out how to get them back into Thunderbird mail. Please help

Is it possible to run one instance of Thunderbird on a single PC and connect to two different POP servers concurrently please?

Our ISP is dropping web hosting and we have one email address that uses the hosted server address (eg neddie@goonshow.com.au) and the other the address of the host ISP (seagoon@isp.com.au). We'd like to maintain both addresses as they've been in use for a long time but have to move the web site & it's address to a new host. (we need POP because my wife needs to keep all her emails for at least ten years to meet her professional body's requirements).

Searching online gets all sorts of conflicting answers so I hope the community can provide a definitive answer. Thanks, mike

I've been using TB on 2 of my smaller email accounts for several months and really like the way it operates. I'm nearly ready to add my main email account (web-based Outlook) to TB but have one final question. If I add the account to TB, give it a fair try, and just don't like the results, can I simply delete that account from TB and go back to accessing it via its website? I have confirmed that POP is disabled for my Outlook account so I understand all email remains on the server until I remove it. I also understand TB would leave the email from the account on the same server, again pending some action I might take to remove it. So it would seem that I could delete the account from TB and revert to web-based access for the account, just as I'm doing now, and the folders and saved emails would still be there. Am I overlooking anything?

Hi

Someone please help.

I was running Thunderbird ver. 38.x.x on my Win 7 PC. All was good and never had any problems.

Recently I made the mistake to update to latest ver. 102.x.x.

This caused several issues and was not really what I was expecting. Therefore I decided to go back again.

Now I am running ver. 52.9.1. which is more or less like ver. 38. However I have one issue.

I have several IMAP mails accounts. 2 of these mail accounts are from an old mail server provider which is no longer in use. However I had access to all these older mails, which are located on my PC.

Since I did the upgrade and came back down I can no access thes older mails. When I open the account inbox, Thunderbird tries to connect to the mail server, which no longer exists.

How can I have Thunderbird to open these mails, which I assume are still located on my PC?

PS: I have even tried to install ver. 38, (same issue)

Thanks for help. :-)
