Hi there!

I have 20+ email accounts on my Thunderbird, Mac os and some are from my old websites that aren't functional anymore, but I would love to back up the data as there's quiet of useful / business info in them.

So, is it possible to just back up selected accounts from Thunderbird, instead of backing up the entire profile of 30+GBs?

If yes, how ? and will I be able to restore them later ?

Regards Manas

OS : Mac Sonoma 14.4.1 Thunderbird: 115.9.0

I updated FF per regular basis. Now I can't log into Google because my phone is no longer an option. A tablet is an option but it's physically inaccessible. All I did was click update and restart. Nothing unusual about that. My phone can't access Google accounts either. I'm not the most tech savvy and so I have no clues how to remedy this situation.

I have followed the troubleshooting suggestions with no avail. I am currently in troubleshooting mode with all add-ons disabled. The problem persists. The only way to handle the problem is to depress the scroll wheel on the mouse and start scrolling. However, the problem returns with the next page. The problem shows up on Windows 10 as well as Debian bullseye.

I have used Firefox and Firefox-esr for years on the same platforms. This problem started about six months ago with no resolution. So what has changed? On Win 10 Firefox keeps getting updates whereas Firefox-esr never gets updates. The problem persists on both platforms. More than one mouse has been used with the same results. I have removed Firefox and Firefox-esr and re loaded them, no joy here either.

The section of my screen that displays the list of emails is larger than I want. It is displaying 8 lines when it used to only display 4 lines. This takes up more of the screen and reduces the amount left to view the body of emails. I've tried using the cursor to move the bottom edge of that section up but it won't budge.

Ever since Thunderbird's latest update (Sep-23 / Oct-23), the "link" or "hyperlink" (Ctrl +K) feature does not work when drafting an email. When I enter the command to add a link (e.g., Ctrl +K) the page freezes as if a dialog box is there somewhere for me to populate what I'd like to link, but no actual dialog box shows up allowing me to input the URL I'd like to link to. Anyone else experiencing this and have a solution? Thank you!!

Most of my work life is in email. Over 25 years (starting with Mulberry) I have built up a custom IMAP folder hierarchy that makes work manageable, but Thunderbird 115 has broken this, now displaying nested subfolders at the top level sorted alphabetically. See the images for before and after. For example, there are now three "Administrative" folders that were formerly classified under superordinate folders for my roles as lab leader, graduate program chair, and departmental faculty member. Persons who used to be in Colleagues or Students subfolders are now at top level. Inexplicably, a few folders retained their hierarchy but most are flattened out. Now I need to scroll through hundreds of folders (have not counted recently but in the late 2000's I had over 500.)

I was able to revert to 102.14 using backups, but will be stuck with this version for the rest of my career unless Thunderbird fixes these problems. Thunderbird is so important to me that I make an automated monthly donation to the project, but will have to cancel if this is not fixed.

If anyone has found a work around please LMK. And Thunderbird team, please acknowledge and LMK whether this will be addressed or are IMAP users left behind?

Thanks, Dan Suthers

I have searched for instructions to remove an email account from Thunderbird. The only problem is that most of the solutions are from older versions of Thunderbird and although I've tried to find the resources in my version,115.3.1, the screen I have is totally different from the older screens. All of the instructions I have read tell me to look for Account Setting> Account Actions> Delete Account. I can find Account Actions, but there is no Delete Account under Account Actions. Also the traditional top menubar (File,Edit, View,etc) is nowhere to be found.

I need to find out how to delete an email account for this version of Thunderbird. I've included how my screen looks now. Any help would be appreciated

Hey there,

Starting with Firefox v115, you had to set layout.css.page-size.enabled to false in about:config to get the page orientation back for printing PDFs (i.e. Portrait or Landscape).

It seems with the release of v119, this once again is broken and the layout.css.page-size.enabled setting no longer works. Is there something else that needs to be done now? We rely heavily on this and our current workaround is installing the ESR version of Firefox but seems like it'll catch up eventually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Send Later instructions don't work for me within Thunderbird. I composed demo / trial emails to myself to send later: Control + Shift + Enter --- and also Send Later from the File menu. Neither brought up a window for scheduling. The demo emails only showed up in Local Folders > Outbox. There was no File - Send Later option when I opened the demos. My Thunderbird is up to date: 115.3.1 (64-bit). I have Windows 11

Am I missing something or is this no longer a feature within Thunderbird? I'd prefer not to use an extension or a third party product if possible. If I have to, which would be recommended? Pluses and minuses? Thank you

Hello, I've got a reproduction issue on France TV live programs which I watch through nordvpn. The picture keeps "jumping" fast up and down in a very bothering way. This doesn't happen when the video is NOT live. I run the latest version of LINUX MINT. What can I do to fix it? The only way I found to stop the issue is to take down the resolution of the live video to its minimum which gives me a disastrous picture but stops the "jumping". I guess you might say there is something wrong with my GPU. The point is that my PC is brand new with an AMD 5600G, new MB, 16Gb of RAM and 500w of PSU. BUT more than anything I have to say that everything WORKS FINE with CHROME. I like FIREFOX I have been using it literally for decades now. (I'm 75). Is there a solution? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks in advance. François.

Good morning,

My Thunderbird was just upgraded to the latest version (115). After opening it the first time, my inbox folder no longer showed the subfolders for each account. I then dragged a single inbox folder to the inbox, but instead of moving or linking the folder, it wiped everything that was in it. Nothing went to trash, it is just gone. Is there somewhere else I might be able to find these emails? It is an outlook account, and they don't seem to be on that server either. Thank you for any help.
