OS: Ubuntu 20.04 Thunderbird: 115.3.1(64 bit) I reported a bug in the new updated version of Thunderbird. One of the troubleshooting steps was to install and test the latest beta version (119), which I did. When I went back to version 115, all my emails before that time were gone. I looked in every folder in Thunderbird available and they were nowhere to be found. I logged into the webmail service for this account and it showed the same result. I do nightly backups and copied my profile folder from backup to my local profile folder. When I start Thunderbird it shows all of emails from before the time I tested version 119. But once it syncs with the IMAP server the mailbox reverts to what is on the IMAP server. How can I import what I have in my backup to the IMAP server? My host is Rackspace Email.

I’m running Windows 10 on a desktop. Thunderbird upgraded my program to 115.3.1 (32-bit) When it runs now it shows all of my old folders and the address book entries are there and incoming email notifications briefly pop up, but when I click on the popup, nothing happens. But all of the folders are empty. I experience the same thing on another PC. Any suggestions? I’ve seen this question on this forum before, but I have not see a suggested solution that works for me. Thanks for y’all’s consideration.

I set up my new email using the TB new email account wizard, which completed successfully. I can receive but not send. I've searched/tried for a while now and no recommendations are working. And I've restarted TB, to no avail.

The TB setup wizard came up with these settings:

IMAP: Mailserver: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 User Name: mycomplete@email.com (not really) Connection Security: SSL/TLS Auth Method: OAuth2

SMTP: Mailserver: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: OAuth2 User Name: mycomplete@email.com (not really)

When I try to send, after a long pause I get "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username X@y.com failed." with the options Retry, Enter New Password and Cancel. When I select 'New Password', I'm never presented with a dialog box for my password. I just get the long pause and "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username X@y.com failed." again.

i have been using Tor.browser as my default web browser on Macbook for months. Firefox is my 2nd, but two days ago, i was kicked out of Tor, cannot download/use it anymore and the reasons given are as follows:

"Tor.browser quit unexpectedly. Click Reopen to open the application again. Click Report to see more detailed information." Ignore Report Reopen (options)

when i have deleted and tried to re-install tor browser, I get the notification that

"Tor Browser quit unexpectedly". No matter what I do

 (I have since done both, obviously & have tried many other things, including trying to Time Travel, which I am not 100% sure how to yet).  the Report states Firefox is responsible for blocking Tor.  how did this happen and suggestions on how to fix.  I have to access Tor to find some pertinent files etc. I have stored there.  thanks

Thunderbird update 115.3.1 self installed now nothing works.

When I first opened program after update and tried to retrieve mail for one account (of5) got a window telling me password not accepted by pop server (at zoho.com) and asking if i wished to enter a new one. Said no and went to passwords in config to check if they had transferred properly. They had.

Tried again to download messages with same results (password not accepted)and clicked to enter new one. Instead window popped up for next account telling me password not accepted by server and did I want to enter a new one. Same results for every account in order without ever letting me access one. Rebooted - no change.

Downloaded copy from mozilla and re-installed thinking it may reconfigure what was wrong. No luck. Now when I try to retrieve messages I don't even get password not accepted only "done" in bottom left corner where it usually shows download happening.

I have used Thunderbird practically since it came out and have installed configured and transferred accounts across many computers and never had any problem like this!

I've deleted and reload Firefox several times in an attempt to resolve this issue as suggested in response to the various users with the same problem. I'm running Windows 11 Pro 22H2 I've tried it with and without my security programs running. Unless you've got something else to try, I'll have to switch to a different browser.

I'm trying to locate the file that contains the message filters for Thunderbird. I'd like to be able to move them between email accounts and back them up.

Even better would be an add-on that works for exporting and importing Message Filter rules.

Why was the Supernova version installed without my permission? I wasn't ready to do it yet, so it's quite irritating. I have always had the option set to ask before installing updates. This happened to my wife too with 102 and the sudden introduction of Cardbook caused major problems for her. For a long time I thought that I had done it accidentally, but now I don't think so. I had been holding back on updating her version until all of the extensions she used were available.

I hate it. Updates are activated, because I want to get security updates. Nobody asked for a new design. What for? It's ugly useless. And 99% of your users will think as I do. So, what for?

I have been using Thunderbird for approx. 20 years. Most likely longer. But this is it. I hate it now.

And as I am doing this, I will also leave Firefox.

Bye.

PS: Nobody will miss me. I know.
