Hello, my problem is with Thunderbird's Schedule.(the one linked to the emails service) I have deleted a birthday (recurring) in my calendar, the person has passed away. I received a strange message here after attached , sorry it is in French Since then I have not been able to modify, delete or move any of my old tasks! (move a meeting, cancel a meeting or change the meeting time) This message comes back every 10 seconds! Thanks for giving me a hint to solve this problem ! JP

Somehow, I have a second copy of one of my email accounts. They are mirrored, so what happens to one, happens to the other which makes deleting one not acceptable.

Any way to get to the mirrored account?

Thanks, Sue

I am still paying for websites, just to keep my emails going but it sure is expensive with it being personal now. I don't store my emails with the current host, they just play middleman, receive the emails and ship them off to my Thunderbird. I store them on my computer and my external harddrive. Can you tell me how either I can host my own emails or a really reasonable priced email host? I don't want to loose these emails. The ones that mostly got used by the businesses have been dissolved. But the ones we are getting personal emails threw, we want to keep. Please advise.... thank you for your time and dedication to helping. Judi

Hi,

Somewhat of a green small fish here.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered many times before.

Currently: wanting to transfer several existing Thunderbird profiles from Old Vista laptop to newer Windows 7 laptop that already has an existing Thunderbird setup with 3 existing profiles.

Export is taking a long time on he old Vista laptop.

Q? Can I copy existing profiles (folders) from old Vista laptop and paste them into the existing profiles folder on the newer Windows 7 laptop?

In summary...

Existing profiles on both old (source) laptop and new (destination) laptop.

Export from old laptop taking too long/Thunderbird hanging.

Q? Copy folders/profiles from old and paste folders/profiles into new?

Many thanks for all of your help in advance :O)

hi all i miss a test connectivity button in the form, where i enter mail-server stuff. When i add a new mail account, tb test connectivity but when i have to edit something, i would like to test connectivity again in this dialog. Beside of this, Thunderbird is very useful to me and i support it with donations from time to time.

Cheers!

I notice two account logged into my Mozilla account one is - Firefox mobile 130 - android 14 And the other is - Firefox on Samsung SMA146W

They both saw a few seconds but in the activity section I see a login time different of 1-2 minutes

I've been having problems with my mac regarding authorized access but i can't pinpoint it. Another example is my wifi network app will show my phone connecting to it with it being present multiple times. Like my phones will be listed 2 or 3 times as online.

I'm so confused. Any help would be appreciated

I have Thunderbird 128.4.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Home (64 bit). I want to add a second email account. To do this, I used File> New> Email Account. I entered the email address and password. TB found and entered a server configuration. The new email address appears in the Folder List but has only an Inbox folder after it. The other folders (Sent, Junk, Trash) are missing. Test messages show the new address in TB will send a message correctly except it hangs trying to save the sent message. The new address is unable to receive a message. Please advise how to get the new email account (outlook.com) set up in Thunderbird. Thank you.

Bonjour J'ai un compte Thunderbird depuis longtemps et il a disparu, certainement une mauvaise manipulation de ma part. Cela fait un mois que j'essaie de remettre Thunderbird en marche et rien ne va (malgré un don). Je ne suis pas très doué. Pouvez vous me dépanner ? Merci d'avance.

tl;dr: I need to import emails from multiple email addresses, view them as one folder tree, sort into folders, and yet leave the originals on the servers. Can Thunderbird handle this?

Background: I used Outlook Express until Microsoft killed it, and have used Outlook 2013 since. Now Microsoft has forced me to abandon that due to Oauth2 not being supported, so I am looking for a replacement.

Thunderbird seems to be a recommended solution, but despite poking around in the community forums and help files, I am not finding straightforward answers to my questions on the current platform. (Side note: I have been using Firefox since it was Phoenix and then Firebird, and then Firefox, but never really used Thunderbird.)

This is what I need to do:

Set up MULTIPLE email accounts (about a dozen hotmail accounts, one yahoo, and nearly a dozen gmail accounts) to all come in to the same program.

Ideally, about 8 of these email accounts will be in their own IMAP-type listings to be kept separate, but the others would go into the same folder group. This had been happening with POP in the past, but I would be okay changing if there is something else that will do the same thing.

Once the POP emails come in, they should be sorted by rules into folders. For example, utility bills might come in on accounts email1 and email2, but due to the rules, all utility bills would go into a local folder called "Utility Bills." But if I go to reply to a message, the program would know which account it came from and be able to reply to it appropriately.

Also, all of these accounts should leave the original messages on the server so that they can be accessed remotely.

Is this something that can be done with Thunderbird? I'm finding conflicting answers and having problems trying to get it set up. It looks like I can't both pull it in to a single view AND sort into folders, but I may be missing an obvious setting somewhere.

Thanks!

I have all of my emails in IMAP folders. When I travel I don't always have internet access. It would be helpful to have access to work-related emails at those times. Two questions:

(1) Is it possible to store emails in both IMAP and local folders so I can access them offline?

(2) Is there some setting that can automatically store all emails in IMAP and local folders?

Thanks for your help!

Somehow, I now have a duplicate email account. Changes to either one are reflected in the other account. So if I delete one, the other one will be duplicated. Also recently, each received email is duplicated.

I can live with each duplicated email but would like to get rid of the duplicated account.

Thanks, Sue

peculiar problem, my wife's installation of Thunderbird seems to be corrupt somehow. she cannot make a new folder or subfolder, when you right click the option to create a new folder is not even there, the only way is file/new/folder but nothing happens...now that was weird enough but since this started we have both got new machines with a new installation of windows 11 and a new installation of thunderbird and yet the wife still has the same problem, we did import the profile from the old hard drive so could the problem have been imported with the profile.

I have changed a thousand settings from various help pages, I can program, build and repair PCs, and I run my own dedicated server so I am not a noob.

it seems that something somewhere is restricting the right-click menus and the facility to create folders and subfolders. HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLPPPP
