I'd like to use Thunderbird for my email but I've been unsuccessful. My domain is hosted with LiquidWeb and they haven't been able to help me. Is there someone or somewhere I could approach with this problem? Many thanks!

I recently updated my older computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 and forgot to print out my address book from Thunderbird. I did save the file on a thumb drive and when I try to open that file, my computer does not recognize the file ending .MAB and will not open it. When I tried to open it by adding Thunderbird to the Windows list, it puts the file in an email and still will not open it. Please help! Thanks in advance for your help.

I want to add email addresses from incoming emails to my addressbook. Using Thunderbird 31.6.0. Takes too long to do it one at a time. Any thoughts on how to do it?

Outlook, Groupwise and Pegasus(freeware) allows editing of received e-mails. Thunderbird had plug-in that is not working with curent version. WHY NOT make it standard feature of Thunderbird??? Please do it. If others can do it, why cannot Thunderbird not do it?

I am not getting my emails from franciscanmychart.org I think it might be a filter issue. How can I make sure I get these important emails.

Hi, I use TB 115.18.0 (32-bit) on win 7 machine. In order to transfer it to another computer I tried to copy the profile to a new disk and it failed. An error message stated that "The destination you have specified does not exist". I manually copied the profile folder, and found that the problem occurs when attempting to copy the file (no file type is given. File name is printed bolt) as follows: mozilla profiles>cc739xtg.default>mail>local folders>unsent messages. (1,835,282 KB file) Unsent messages.MSF (6KB file) was copied with no problem. I did not find a way to open unsent messages file to read its content. Unsent messages does not show in my TB folders. As far as I understand there are no unsent messages in my TB accounts. 1. How to overcome the unsent messages file copy problem? 2. Can I try to delete both unsent messages and unsent messages.msf files without damage the profile? 3. How can I open unsent messages file to read its content? Thank you for your assistance. David

This is the screen I get when I follow the instructions from the first denial screen:

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

the last time I received an email update on my desktop PC (Win 7 Pro) was 4:08PM (yes, PM) for one account and 4:44AM (yes, AM) for the other account. On my phone, the 4:08PM is the same but the other email account recd an update at 3:17PM.

My Thunderbird updated on me and my classic view with the Buttons is GONE. Does not look anything like the previous version..

How do I get my old view back!

Please answer [email removed from public]

(Can't even find my WRITE button)

Please help!!!

I have spent the last TWO HOURS trying to find an answer to what should be a simple problem, and it seems not to exist!

I need to find out WHERE Firebird lists my email account PASSWORD.

I do NOT want to reset my password.

I simple need to know WHAT my password is, and since I set up the account [actually a few accounts] several years ago, my notes are evidently null and void, because none of those passwords seem to work.

My email is through verizon.net, which is one of the problems because they gave all of their email coltrol to AOL, which thouroughly sucks, and they seem not to have anyone who speaks fluent English who can assist me in FINDING the current password!

If ANYONE can help, it would be most greatly appreciated!!

I am looking for an add-on or other method to allow one to compose/format text in TB Version 115.12.2 (64-bit) with Microsoft Word or other like word processor text alignment formatting feature such as left and right alignment, justify and most importantly FORCE JUSTIFY text to allow the creation of properly centered email.

Outlook.com and Microsoft inform me that in September 2024, Outlook 2007 will no longer work for email because it does not meet their spiffy new authentication thingy. They want me to quit using Windows 7, but I need it to run legacy productivity software for which there is nothing comparable. So, Windows 7 it is. I do have a dual boot system that includes Windows 10, but I don't want to mess with it for email if possible.

Microsoft suggested that Thunderbird would work, so I downloaded it. That's when everything went sideways. There is no utility to move my existing files and folders intact from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird. I tried Thunderbird's Import but it refuses to cooperate. So, last chance for Thunderbird is contacting you.

Help me make a clean transition from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird without losing contacts, folders and files.

While this note is probably the wrong way to ask for help for which I apologise, I am moving from Seamonkey to Firefox and Thunderbird. I have managed to get Firefox to work but don't know how to get my Seamonkey e-mail moved to Thunderbird.

If some kind soul could point me to a place or person where I can get detailed instructions on moving my e-mail from Seamonkey to Thunderbird, I would be incredibly appreciative. Again, I know I am probably asking this question in the wrong forum, but I have tried everything I can think of with no usable result. I ask that whoever reads understands getting up in years is frequently a difficult process. Oh yes, I go back to the early Netscape days as a user.

Thanks, in advance, for any and all assistance.

i want to disable my spamblocker/ junk mail detector in firefox ..... it keeps sending legit emails to the spam file no matter how i adjust the junkmail settings....is there a way to just turn the spam/junk detector off altogether?

i already have spam detector through my cPanel at my webhost and another junkmail detector in antivirus/malware program on my desktop

i don't need firefox diverting legit emails that get through the earlier detectors.

In one of my folders used just for certain emails then are now disappearing and to get them back I have to click " show only emails from people in my address book. That is not always the case depending on the sender. Got a fix ?

I've just now noticed the Threading automatic default grouping/marking of messages, and it is appalling. Thunderbird/Mozilla either needs to eliminate this (with appropriate warning notices, perhaps) or at least give us the ability to NOT link various messages. It's not only vastly annoying, it can cause severe real-world problems if anyone not in the CC or BCC fields is receiving these messages that were not intended for them.

I suppose for now, the only way to NOT link things that were never meant to be would be to change the Subject when discussing important topics.

Either that, or get a whole new mail service, which I'd prefer not to have to do.
