I had to reformat a hard drive. Unfortunately, my current Thunderbird profile was erased. I have a 7-month earlier profile backed up, and my current emails are still available from Spectrum webmail. Can I re-install the old profile, and download the newer emails from Spectrum to create a new profile? What is the safest way to proceed and not lose emails? Thanks!

When I tried to set up a second email account (peters-up40@t-online.de), I received the following error message: "login to the server failed. The configuration, username or password may not be correct." The new address is correct, it was confirmed to me by Telekom. The PW is the same as in my first email address. What did I do wrong? Regards, Uwe

I have only my profile file (eg 1b3ylg2i-default) from backup. I copied it into the Thunderbird\profiles folder on the new computer. I have tried changing the information in the parent higher up files (installs.ini and profiles.ini) to match, but no luck. Thunderbird complains that it cant find my profile. The source computer is dead, I have only this file as backup.

Is there a way?

Hi, I am planning the switch from GroupWise into a hosted mail solution - using Thunderbird as the client. I have with issues connected Thunderbird to the current GW server but I only see and get 4,000 emails in the Sent folder - the server has well over 11,000. How can I force Thunderbird to read them all? Best regards

I followed the productivity tip to use 'baskets' called Respond, To Read, and Revisit and found it quite useful.

Then Thunderbird updated to Nebula 128.1.0esr (32-bit) and now I can't find the three 'baskets' - they've vanished.

Of course I don't know what messages were in the baskets and can't find them now.

Please help Duncan

PS I have folder modes set to "All folders"
