Thunderbird Support Forum

I got this weird error on my computer when trying to use Thunderbird after a power outage. ( see attached file)

All the Dreamhost server settings are good on the computer. I am is getting the emails on my Android phone, there seems to be some security issue cert with Dreamhost that is not satisfied.

I have read about uninstalling Thunderbird and re-installing to clear any glitches but just want to make sure there is no simple fix before I go and uninstall. Will this kill the whole application or will the profile remain and keep all the initial settings so I can get back to my normal setting once reinstalled?

Thanks

Today, Thunderbird has switched servers on my two email accounts. My two accounts are a Cox email which has been moved over to Yahoo and a business account which uses Gmail. I have messages on the Yahoo server but when I ask Thunderbird to "Get Messages", I can see from the info at the bottom of the screen that it's checking Gmail not Yahoo.

Okay, all of a sudden it's now back on track. I don't understand how this glitch came about. Hopefully, it won't happen again.

Apparently, from the bits I've read, the "solution" is to scrap Thunderbird and start anew with the knowledge that I set up my accounts "wrong" because I relied on the automatic setup and was ... led astray???

Frankly I expected better.

The reason I tried to switch to Thunderbird was because Apple Mail was behaving erratically (forcing threaded view though it was turned off) and there was no way to contact anyone about problems. However, typical for Apple because they don't communicate with users, the problem seem to have mysteriously resolved.

Anyway I'm switching back to Apple. For now. Because I don't want to play guessing games with my email about how to do things properly. Frankly, I'd switch to Gmail which all of my friends say behaves well. But I also don't want to be tracked and Google is evil in this regard. So here I am.

I read that to import Outlook (I have 365) pst files I need 'downgrade' from Thunderbird 115 to Thunderbird v 38.1 .

But that was an older post, so I am hoping there are now ways to import pst files directly into Thurderbird 115 (I have a lot, each with lots of e-mails).

If not: 1) can I leave 115 on my computer and install v 38.1 in addition - import the outlook pst files into 38.1, store them as 'local files' on my hard drive and then connect those to 115 ? 2) Since I read something about installing v 38.1, importing the pst files (and presumably storing them as local files on the hard drive/external drive?) and then updating that to v 115, I suspect that 1) is not an option. 3) so next question is (haven't searched for that yet) : if I have to delete 115, I will have to re-connect all my local folders once I am upgraded again to 115. I have them all (a lot) stored on an external drive - is there guidance somewhere on how to get those 'recognized' all at the same time by Thunderbird 115 ? (Outlook is not very userfriendly in that regard, one needs to 'open' each pst file individually). 4) final question while I am at it: latest outlook version has limitation on the number of pst files one can have open at the same time - I found that out the hard way. Is there also a limitation on how many local folders one can have in thunderbird 115 ? THANKS A LOT in advance for your help (this is my second time asking for help and last time I got an e-mail with an absolutely perfect answer). Annette.

i SET UP THUNDERBIRD ON MY NEW COMPUTER, SUCCESSFULLY, BUT THREE DAYS AGO MY WEB HOST/SERVERS UPGRADED THEIR SYSTEM. i SPENT THREE DAYS SORTING OUT NEW SETTINGS. CONFIGURATIONS, PASSWORDS, ETC, TO GET IT ALL WORKING, IT WAS DIFFICUL BUT IT NOW WORKS. HOWEVER, I HAVE MANY FOLDERS OF MAIL ,AND MAIL NOT IN FOLDERS, IN THEUNDERBIRD ON AN OLDER COMPUTER. i WANT TO IMPORT THOSE FOLDERS OF MAIL, AND ADD THEM TO MY NEW COMPUTER THUNDERBIRD INBOX SET UP, BUT I DO NOT WANT TO IMPORT THE OLD SETTINGS AGAIN!" THAT COULD BE A DISASTER. I JUST WANT THE MAIL AND THE FOLDERS. ALL THE VIDEOS i SEE ARE TO IMPORT THE OLD SETTINGS AS WELL. CAN I JUST EXPORT/IMPORT THE ACTUAL MAIL FOLDERS AND MAIL, AND NOT SABOTAGE MY HARD WORK BY CHANGING ALL THE NEW SETTINGS AND PASSWORDS BACK TO WHAT THEY USED TO BE IN THE PROCESS?? IM NOT THAT TECHY; WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR ADVICE. THANKS, STEVE

Hi, All. I store older emails in subfolders by year within Local Folders, and I've specified that Thunderbird store Local Folders on a toggleable remote drive. The idea is that I will just toggle that remote drive on when I need to access Local Folders messages.

Thankfully, when I start Thunderbird with the remote drive off, Local Folders appears without any references to inbox or sent folders (since it can't find the drive), and also thankfully it doesn't throw any "Can't find drive x" error messages. When Thunderbird is open, and I turn the drive on, however, it does not display the remote Local Folders content.

Other than completely closing and reopening Thunderbird, is there a way to have it more easily load the Local Folders content when the drive is turned on - either automatically or manually?

Thank you

Using Thunderbird 115.11.0 (64-bit) on Manjaro (Linux - fully updated). Thunderbird is a great and fantastic email client and I will always appreciate Mozilla for its principals.

I'm using IMAP and I moved some messages from a Gmail account to another IMAP account and somewhere along the way, an additional 10,000+ emails have been duplicated (about one third).

How can I systematically remove duplicates without the use of an add-on? The reason I don't wish to use an add-on is because every add-on I've found requires the following permission Have full, unrestricted access to Thunderbird, and your computer. and that is absolutely terrifying.

Are there any remedies for (systematically) handling duplicates without handing over all the keys to the kingdom?

This has gone beyond any reasonable limits. Please fix your software! Every time there is an update, Thunderbird goes into spasms. Google and Hotmail send constant messages to verify my (already very verified) account.

Dear Sirs,

Please help why didn’t support China Office 365? We are using China exchange online, but it can’t use Thunderbird login our account. We have ask them, they need the software register to their system, could you register thunderbird to their system? Thanks!

When sending an email using Thunderbird application it does not send and always require to have a password. I am using verizon.net email and used an app password to send an email. The app password is somehow not save or stick on the Thunderbird server settings. Did multiple app password already before I was able to send it. Are you having an outage or an update with regards to the Thunderbird application?

How do I get Thunderbird working again? (Out since 30.05.24) I am a senior and need easy directions to follow as not tec. savvy. I was an iinet customer - now themessaging.co

I have been receiving emails and newsletters from a number of companies for many years. Suddenly last December many stopped coming. I have been in touch with one in particular and I am still on their mailing list. I am unable to find anywhere I can check. And before anyone says check your Junk folder. I do that every day. It has gotten to the point where I will have to stop using Thunderbird. Where can I look to find out what is wrong.
