The setup screen popped up when I tried to start Thunderbird. I had to reset Windows 10 and doing so my Thunderbird disappeared. I am using High Contrast mode and sometimes white text gets hidden in a background color. I was kind of expecting a text message. As I progressed through the set up screen I get error messages when I try to click on Done. Above the Done box is some blue text that I can't read clearly. The blue text generates a message about IMAP already being there when I click on Done. There appears to be no correct way to click on Done. When I click on Cancel my email pops up with Local Folders highlighted. When I click on Inbox it looks like every thing is back to normal. I do want to ask someone to add a vertical scrollbar to the setup screen. Otherwise I have to go through the Windows Setting screens to resize everything to get it to fit on my desktop. This also requires changing my font size for some reason. At this point I am becoming really frustrated with Windows 10 - which Mozilla has nothing to do with.

Hello, I have migrated my thunderbird onto a new windows system but I now get not automatic download of messages, the only messages I might get is if I close down Thunderbird and reopen. Get messages does not do anything - not even sure its attempting to communicate with server .

Is there anything I can do or change ? I have literally spent almost trying various things and I am the point of giving up and trying a completely different email client. There should be a seamless migration method but it appears there is not.

I constantly used email to send images to my watercolor students. Still use PICASA, a Google app that hasn't been supported in years, but still works fine, and immediately would send the selected photos via emClient email. BUT THEN i decided to download Thunderbird; it did not have certain functions i wanted (I doubt any program does), so my computer guy de-installed it. BUT THE PROBLEM is, when i went to Picasa to email photos to a class, it did not automatically open an emClient window, but gave me the choice of using Thunderbird or GoogleMail. ??? even tho Thun. was de=installed. My consultant found it was a MAPI Problem, and we have spent hours trying to fix it, with no luck. FastStone photo editing would also not work to send emails. Is it possible that downloading Thunderbird could have somehow correupted my general MAPI function?

We have spent HOURS trying to fix it, and no luck. Finally i said, let's re-install Thunderbird, and at least now i can email photos directly from FastStone. But not from Picasa, which is a huge loss to me. PLEASE, i know Picasa is ancient, but now it doesn't even give me the choice of Thun. or Gmail when I click on "Send by email". Please, can anyone help with this MAPI issue?? My consultant tried everything, but it seems to be corrupted in some way. Thank you so much!

hello, I've tried to migrate the original 'profile' directory (appData -> roaming -> thunderbird -> profiles) to a centralized NAS, to have access to my mails (POP3) from several computers. I copied the whole thunderbird directory to the NAS and changed the profile directory in thunderbird to the new location. But now there are no more mails visible, neither on the original PC, nor on an other laptop. Instead of that I see some dozens of (sub)directories of the profile directory, and some else in the left window... What's more, now I cannot change the directory on the original Pc back to the original location on the local harddisc (there is an error message, that the directory would not be not suitable...) What am I doing wrong? I am using windows 11 and 10, and the Thunderbird build is 115.8.1 (64 bit)

During a "folder compact" one folder just was cleared and all mails are gone. Tried to copy a folder from another laptop following a tutorial. Copy seemed to be OK, paste too to the "local folders" folder. Everything, I mean all the files are there, apparently untouched, but when I open Thunderbird there is no sign of the mails.

I presume a step by step sequence of the moves to take, fool proof, both laptops, may help. Kind of "first, switch on both laptops..."

Thank you for any help.

I need to remove just one of the programs from one of the PCs.

Will this do any damage to any of the 4 programs still running in the other 2 PCs?

Hello, since migrating from Chrome to Firefox, I have used the Import Wizard to successfully transfer over my bookmarks and history, but I just can't seem to get my logins/passwords over. The wizard finishes saying that it successfully imported saved logins and passwords, but nothing shows up in the password manager. I am running Windows 10 64bit and Firefox is up to date. Anybody have any suggestions?
