Thunderbird
Have migrated to new laptop. Subfolders not showing in Local folders, but a search finds results in the missing folder?

So in my original Thunderbird I had a folder with all my client emails (it's huge, about 2.8gb). I followed the instruction video to migrate my Thunderbird data over to my new laptop (both systems are Windows 10 if that's relevant) and whilst it was mostly successful and the local folder is shown, none of the subfolders are. However, when I search for a client email address it gives results that would be in the missing folder (and lists the missing folder as the source). How can I get the folder to be visible again? I do access the folder regularly to reference client orders.
Yesterday I was able to copy one of the smaller folders to a gmail account so I can copy them back onto my new laptop and that worked. I tried this again today with the larger, more important file and it's just not letting me copy files at all. Any input on why this is happening would be very appreciated. I guess it's possible that it's just making the transfer in the background so looks like it's not doing anything? Thanks in advance.

I tried to set up a second gmail account in my Thunderbird today.
Thunderbird keeps saying password incorrect. I know password is correct.
I got an alert from google saying an untrusted app tried to use my password and was blocked.
I have changed setting in gmail to allow untrusted apps but still can't connect.
Tried to contact gmail support but doesn't seem there is any.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s. sorry if my mozilla account looks sparse. seems my account was deleted, had to create a new one to make this post.
p.p.s I'm using Thunderbird 60.8.0 on Ubuntu 16.04

I have used TBird (currently 60.8 - 64 bit) on MacPro (currently Majove 10.14) since year 2000. Best in the world. Suddenly mid morning Fri 16 Aug 2019 it stopped connecting to my 2Degrees ISP. Both outgoing and incoming mail failed. 2 Degrees could not solve the problem. My computer could connect with 2Degrees Webmail IN & OUT. They said it was my computer, not their system.
Empty Trash Y/N Dialogue Box Missing After Thunderbird 60.8.0 Update

As it says above after the most recent Thunderbird update the Empty Trash Y/N dialogue box does not appear when I use that option. I've not changed any settings and the config editor shows the relevant entries which appear to control the function are still apparently correctly set so that it should always appear before emptying the trash.
I do have a screenshot of the two config editor entries but this site seems not to be able to upload it.
This is new behaviour but I've found another user reporting here the same thing from several years ago so it seems to be the return of an old problem. The 'resolution' suggested for that poster was pretty much indecipherable and it sounds like it never worked even if they actually understood it.
My guess is that this is a glitch which was fixed in a later update when the problem was reported. So that is what I'm doing here this time too.

Please please help. I have been quite happily using Thunderbird for some while now but lately I have an intermittent error when i try to send "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com timed out. Try again."
I have tried disabling windows defender firewall and that has no impact at all. I have tried clearing the cache and sometimes it would fix the problem and so I am able to send but then the problem would reoccurred again. I am at my wit's end. Please please see if you can help me. Much appreciated.

While importing EML files from a portable HD into TB on a new Win 10 computer sometimes 'hangs' or stops completely

I have recently bought a new computer with Windows 10. In order to save old emails (from Outlook Express) and bring them into Thunderbird, I saved them as EML. I replicated the tree structure for the emails on TB and using the import/Export tool, started bringing in the EML files in small batches (no more than about 30). But the process is pretty slow and then sometimes just hangs or stops completely. I get a message along the lines that my internet connection has failed - it hasn't as I can still use Firefox. Is this unusual? If so, what can I do?

Hello. I have the latest version of Thunderbird installed on a desktop running windows 10. Recently, I downloaded all the messages from a work Gmail account and want to upload those same messages to a private Gmail for storage purposes.
I have spent a lot of time searching the internet and found numerous explanations of how to do this using Thunderbird, some of them more easily understood than others, but so far have not found any that address the issue of a person who already has a Thunderbird installation - what I have read talks about how to install Thunderbird and then use it to do the transfer.
Currently, I have Thunderbird with my legacy emails, plus two linked Gmail accounts. So, I have three accounts in Thunderbird (I hope I am using the correct terms here). So, when the instructions start talking about using the local folder, I start getting antsy. But, forging on, could it be that all I need to do is create a 4th account in Thunderbird? The Gmail account I plan to link for the upload is not one of the two already linked, and actually I really do not want those messages from the 4th account downloaded to my computer - but perhaps I cannot prevent that?
I hope that my question makes sense! I basically need to know how to proceed with this import from the mbox file to my Thunderbird, preserving what I have, and then how to upload the messages to my designated Gmail. Thanks for any help you can give me!

I have been using Thunderbird since April of this year, when I bought a new Windows 10 laptop. In that short time, I have had my "theme" disappear twice. I chose a simple theme to add a little color to the tabs and menu bar, nothing fancy. A few weeks ago the color was gone and the theme was no longer listed in my add-ons. I browsed the themes again and found a different one which was very similar and started using it. Today, that one also disappeared and I have switched to a third one (or maybe it was the same one again; I don't remember the name of the ones I was using). Why do the themes keep disappearing?
Otherwise, I love Thunderbird; it's MUCH better than the mail built into Windows 10! I also love the calendar; on my old laptop I had been using the old Sunbird stand-alone calendar, so it was very easy to import my old entries.

I have recently started using the Favourite view to display my folders but unfortunately when I start up Thunderbird any nested folders that I have always show as expanded with all of the sub-folders visible. Despite collapsing these the next time I start up Thunderbird they are all expanded again. I do not have this issue in Full view but would really prefer to use Favorite view. Any help much appreciated!

I started setting up a profile for one email address, gave it a name and then switched it to a different email address before completing the set-up of the profile. When I went to appdata, I found that the suffix of the profile name is the user name I originally put in, even though I had changed the name associated with the profile even though I changed the name of the profile before completing this process. Can I get rid of this profile and start a new one since it's confusing the way it is now, making reference to the wrong email. Can I delete the profile somehow without causing harm to my online email account?
