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.

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.

Previously I raised a question where I had a regular message from TB about failure to update and advising me to go to website to download 91.10.0 and then run it to install.

I though I had solved it but....

Thunderbird has automatically updated itself to 102.0.2 (64 bit) without my intervention - despite the release notes saying it is only offered as a direct download and not an upgrade. It has since updated itself to currently 102.0.3 However, TB reminds me every day with a message stating that it cannot do an update and wants me to visit the TB site and download. I am on the release update channel.

I assume some software switch is stuck and saying that there is an update when there isn't and posting the reminder. Is there some way of clearing this? I have cleaned the cache several times and clean installed the previous [91.10 version?] twice.

Hi,

On my previous Win10 PC when I clicked on Thunderbird it gave me a menu of my email accounts to select one. I've just moved to Windows 11 and it seems to install all the email accounts together which is a nightmare for me. How do I get back to menu selection of individual email accounts.

Thanks

I successfully copied my very large profile (a lot of mail) from my old computer to a new installation. I have done this several times successfully in the past. The accounts and mail copied just fine, were immediately visible on starting the program and using the old profile name. The calendar, however, did not open with prior data displayed. The file(s) in the 'calendar' folder in the profile seem to have copied perfectly (the size is identical to the source) but still no joy. I tried the "import" tool, which I've never used before, but it hung up. Any and all advice and assistance will be most gratefully received and tried. Thanks.

I have tried every method suggested here to migrate my emails and settings to my new computer, but nothing has worked. I tried the export then import path, but just kept getting an error message. Used all the folders just in case I was doing something wrong. So then I found the option of copying the old profile into the new profiles folder - that didn't work either. I just tried again importing from the file I exported, but it doesn't bring in anything at all. I am at a complete loss, I really don't want to lose all this information, which is why I did the export in the beginning.

I have installed Thunderbird version 115.2.0 on my Windows 7 pc. I want to migrate/convert all of my saved Live Mail messages and contacts to Thunderbird before I get a new computer. None of the Thunderbird add-ons for doing this are compatible with the 115.2.0 version. Maybe I could install an older version of Thunderbird, get add-ons that are compatible with that version, convert my data and then upgrade to the latest version of Thunderbird? Any suggestions?
