Hello,

I have downloaded Thunderbird so I can access all of the emails I have downloaded from my company's past Gmail accounts. How much storage do I get with Thunderbird please?

Also, Once I have imported all of the data will it be saved on my computer or on your server? I wanted a way of doing this that won't be too heavy in my harddrive.

Many thanks,

Breeze

Thunderbird 91.9.0 says it cannot update and I need to download and install new version.

1. will this wipe out my current version? 2. How do I back up the old version/data so that it is recoverable?

I have things stored in some folders that I really do not want to have to singularly back up to other files and folders, as it would take me about 3 hours to do.

Any help apprecated.

So I'm currently trying to download and switch my browser on my Motorola phone to Firefox because of the newest Google tracking news, but I'm having problems. Everytime i try to download both Firefox or Firefox Focus itll go all the way to 100%, but then jump back to exactly 37% on both. this is repeated and I've been trying for about 30 minutes to figure this out. I'm hoping it's just Google play [removed] with it but i don't know. help?

Hi Team, I love TB and have been using it for a very long time. Until recently I was able to access my profile from both windows 7 and Ubuntu 20.04. The current versions are 91.9 on Ubuntu and 78.4.3 on Windows 7. I have 2 users (my wife and I) and somehow seem to have got into a real mess. My wife is asked all the "new install" account stuff from either windows or ubuntu. For myself I can open my profile successfully (bizarrely) with 91.9 on ubuntu but hit the install issue on windows 7. I have in the past messed around with profiles.ini with some success, but so far I havent been able to massage my configs so that I and my wife can access our old profiles.

I have looked though some of the existing issues but am hoping some kind soul will explain to me: a) can I use latest code to access the same profile b) how to configure the magic, please?

regards, Paul

So i have the new Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra, never had a tablet until now. Why is there no tablet mode variant of firefox? I LOVE the use of extensions and it's my primary phone and desktop browser, but all the other browsers, duckduckgo, chrome, samsung internet, brave, and opera have tablet modes with a bookmarks bar, full tabs, and defaults to desktop user-agents most of the time. And even with Firefox being somewhat usable on a tablet, the scaling on it causes a lot of glitches like the address bar doubling over when you go in to type another search/domain while on a website already.

I'm insanely bummed that I can't use my favorite browser that has everything i love on my tablet because they just haven't optimized it in the slightest for the large scale experience.

I backed up the thunderbird profile as per video instructions to external drive. On the new pc I installed thunderbird and copied to the roaming folder the filed previously copied from old pc. After doing it and opening the thunderbird, it doesn't open as the old program, it keeps wanting me to set up and account and when I go to the thunderbird program I find 4 different profile names and i guess it correspond with the times I have tried copying the profile back into the new pc. Can any one shed a light on this for me please.

I upgraded to a new computer. When I did, I saved the old C drive and transferred it to the new computer. When I installed Thunderbird, it downloaded all of the emails that I've received since I built the new computer but all of the old emails and folders are gone. Can I retrieve them? I' certain I stored them on the old computer. There's probably a folder in the old C drive files. What is the procedure to retrieve the old emails and folders?

Thanks in advance for your help. FWIW, I did make a contribution/
