I just got a new computer running windows 11 pro. I downloaded Thunderbird, which I used on my old computer(windows 11), and followed the steps to set up my email. I know my email address and password are correct as well as the server settings and I keep getting the following error "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password". My email is .verizon.net which is handled by AOL. My husband also uses Thunderbird and verizon email and I checked the configuration against his computer and everything matches. I was able to get my gmail account added so it must be something with aol or windows 11 pro. Any help is appreciated.

I recently created a new profile, changing from POP3 to IMAP in order to meet the new Microsoft security requirements. All went well until I went to change my address book backup copy routine to access my address book in the new profile.. I cannot find any .MAB nor .SQLITE files anywhere! My address book is out there somewhere, as I can bring it up in Thunderbird, but I cannot find the actual file. What's going on?

I am not very technically inclined so would appreciate some advice please, thank you. My ISP technical person (at iiNet Australia) did say they were receiving a lot of phone calls today about email and "blamed" it on changes to Outlook? If this helps. Regards.

TB 102.6.1 (64-Bit), macOS, DE locale

TB macOS with GUI on extras "Filter" edit lacks scrollbar in sub-window thus making amending / editing of filters almost impossible on the macOS GUI of TB. This mishap was introduced in TB 102.6.x only recently, I presume.

Please consider correct and fix asap.

Question: How to reasonably edit the textual config file for TB filters in cases like this?

When I delete 1 email, it happens quickly. When I delete 5 emails, it takes about 10 seconds. When I delete 40 emails, it takes 2+ minutes, when I delete 100+ emails, it takes 7+ minutes. What's going on? Seems to me emails, no matter how many I delete, should be deleted very quickly. What can I do to speed up the delete process?

I still have v102 on my PC. I have read and see where there are a lot of problems with v115 - messages from users. So if I want to keep v102. How long will it be good? Is there a cut-off date that I will be forced to get v115? Is there someone knowledgeable with Tb that can call me and walk me through getting v115 set up like v102? I am not computer literate enough to be able to do that on my own. Or a way to get simple "step by step" instructions? Trying to read all the updates is way over my head. I am an 85 yr old man that simply wants to be able to read my emails without having to re-learn how. I've been using Tb and Firefox every since I can remember. Years and years. Can someone help? I can furnish email address and/or phone number if needed.

I desperately (sobbing here) need someone to hold my hand and walk me through this!!! I uninstalled the newest version (115) and installed the previous version (102) because of an outgoing mail problem. It gave me a warning that the newer version changed my profiles and it's not compatible so I downloaded the new version again. The import screen doesn't look anything like what it says in the help files. I don't have an option for importing from a previous version.

Please rescue me. I run a nonprofit and I have deadlines and meetings next week that I was supposed to make arrangements for and I've been dealing with this for almost a week.

Thunderbird v31.4.0 Linux Mint Debian Edition 3.1.2-amd64 Cinnamon 2.0.14

When clicking on a link within an email, the system crashes and the monitor display displays jagged, diagonal lines. A cold boot is required. This can be repeated.

Same results running in Safe Mode.

Any ideas?

My friend has been using Thunderbird for a long time. Recently I installed her new PC and restored her account profile using the profile folder on her old PC. So far so good. The problem is that her mails are not organized in folders on the mail server but she has a whole collection of folders in her Thunderbird mail client and is concerned about loosing her mails if the new PC (or the disk) would crash at some point. Of course she could just re-install Thunderbird after fixing the crash problem and sync with the mail server, but then the folder structure would be lost. First I considered using a back-up program to keep a back-up of her Thunderbird profile using cloud storage. My second thought (should have been my first thought...) is that she already has a back-up, namely the mail server. The ISP does a better job than any local back-up program to keep her mails safe. Only the missing folder structure remains a concern. So here is the question: if I change the setting to sync all folders with the mail server, what will happen: 1 - the folders in Thunderbird will disappear (only the folders, not the mails) because there are no folders on the mail server 2 - the folder structure from Thunderbird will be mirrorred on the ISP's mail server. Which one is it?
