I used to use thunderbird on my xp computer. Have been forced to move over to windows 10 and downloaded the tuhnedrcdbe program. how can I set up three email accounts with ease - as I used to be able to do ? Or is there a good alternative to thunderbird itself

Some while way back when I created & exported my address book as an LDIF file, lots of these links had the option for show remote content checked. As the list has grown the file has been re-exported as LDIF to keep it up to date

When I import the file for a clean profile, the remote content check box's have been reset. Needless to say as the list grows the number of contacts to reset also.

Is this unchecked by default for security reasons, Setting stored in some other file? Any way to import with this setting in tact

I am sorry, but my question is in Dutch.

Op mijn desktop werkt thunderburd in het geheel niet en is zeer traag, werkt voor geen meter.  Ik krijg telkens de melding, Thunderburd reageerd niet. Op mijn laptop werkt het normal. Hoe kan dat. Bijde computers hebben Windows 7

I have had to format my hard drive because of virus problems. I have a backup of the above version of Thunderbird which will re-install all my existing settings & emails. It will only work on version 45.5.0 (en-GB)! I have tried searching the internet & have only managed to download the US version, which is not compatible with my back-up! Please can anyone help?

I just began using Thunderbird for my email as I'm so sick of "Comcast/Xfinity" dumping advertising and other junk on my computer when I just want to get to my Comcast email. I have customized Thunderbird email (options, etc.) to display the way I want. However, I am using a shared computer that I've set up to require login to several user or the Admin accounts and now T-Bird puts up a notification on my user account (on the Windows Login screen) of new email having arrived and how many new emails I have. I do not necessarily want other users to know if I have new email and how many new messages I have. Is there a way to turn this "feature" off? I don't see any option in any of the T-Bird tools.

When I enter names in the "To:" line, the Daily doesn't search the Address Book for email like the release version does. This has happened with all of the Daily's for the several months I've tried them. I'd really like to have a stable 64-bit version and the Daily works with this exception.

short version: using: Thunderbird 38.3.0 mail is : sympatico isp: bell Windows7 64 bit

can't send email no matter how I change settings - I have done every imaginable configuration, filling in fields differently - I have done all that Mozilla suggests - firewall/virus on and off - new passwords - contacted isp which made things worse as they "don't support thunderbird" - I have uninstalled, reinstalled, tried to revert to old Thunderbird (but was too dumb to figure that one out), switched ports, gone through mozilla support and knowledge base - half the problem is I don't understand what it's asking me to do. It has taken me days just to figure out how to 'sign up' for help - I could only see the sign in area and just finally now, after days, managed to set up my mozilla account. After a week of this and about 30 hours in, I have been willing to pay tech support, only to find out that Thunderbird has no third party tech or phone support - my ISP however, who will not assist, said they can help if I subscribe to a third party service for a monthly fee. For obvious reasons, I'd rather not. I have added my screen shot of the current settings - but believe me, I've switched them all around many times. Thank you in advance for any advice, and apologies in advance for my ignorance in figuring out something that is quite likely simple.

long version: I use thunderbird because it's closest to Outlook which I was used to, but didn't come on Windows7. A week ago my boss required we have a Gmail account. I already have two that I set up just to take the names, both of which I added into my thunderbird no problem so I could see them without going online. This new one I set up is for work only - I added it to Thunderbird like I did the others ( I think) and all of a sudden my sympatico account was gone - I didn't even realize except that when I checked email on my ipad, there was no mail and I finally figured out everything I sent off my desktop was going through this new gmail account and my normal sympatico email was gone. I deleted the gmail from my Thunderbird and tried to put sympatico profile back on - days doing this - it was at the bottom - couldn't get it to the default, etc... Finally got it back and then couldn't send or receive - called my ISP - got new passwords - could receive but not send - isp Tech said it was their end. 24 hours later it worked - but only for the night - spent two more days with three techs and they all said it was how Thunderbird was set up and not their problem. I have gone through all the knowledge bases I can wrap my head around, called isp again today to ask if they're blocking my port (which the Mozilla help said to do)- of course they said no and laughed at me. I fear they have done something so I can't send email. They kept telling my I shouldn't be using Thunderbird.

I would be so grateful if someone could help me and understand my limited knowledge. Although, the information I've gleaned over the past week is immense!

Thank you in advance - and know that I really did look at so many other forums and help areas - it's just all a blur.

Wie kann ich herausfinden, in welchen Listen ein Kontakt enthalten ist, ohne in jeder Liste zu suchen? Es gab in der Kontakt-Anzeige einen "Suche"-Button, der alle Listen anzeigte, in denen dieser Kontakt enthalten ist. Dieser Button ist jetzt "ersetzt"(?) durch einen "Karte anzeigen"-Button.

If a contact belongs to more than one list, how can I find out in which ones it is (without looking into each list)? In the older version there was a Search-botton, when showing the contact details. When pressing this button, the related lists(s) of this contact were shown. Now this button is replaced(?) by a "show- map"-button.
