Thunderbird Support Forum

I want to select random emails (not all in a row sequentially) and delete with single function. I don't want to have to delete each unwanted email individually.How to d this?

Also, There is no delete function at top of email screen-why not?

I changed my password on my Comcast email account, and now I cannot access my email using Firefox. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about passwords anywhere on your support site. I've looked in every single menu item, and there is NOTHING to do with passwords. Help. Help me, please.

MIcrosoft Excel cannot open or save any more documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space. To make more memory available, close workbooks or programs you no longer need. To free disk space, delete files you no longer need from the disk you are saving to.

I have 4.75 TB of disk space available. I have tried closing open programs and I still can't open the attachments.

I'm moving from a WinXP computer to a new Win7 machine. Should I first switch from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on the old machine (and what's the procedure?) and them migrate to the new one, or set up Thunderbird on the new one and export the Outlook Express data from the old machine? Thanks.

Hi, I know this is something I must have done but my minimize, maximize and close tabs on Thunder bird have disappeared. I have search everywhere and can't see what I might have done or how I can return them.

I have a .pst file on my PC exported from Outlook containing all my addresses. How to import into Thunderbird??

I tried earlier to import Outlook Addressen into Thunderbird Addressbook but that did not work prompting:

Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fullfil the messaging request. Outlook was at that point in time my defauls mail client.

I hope I made myself understood

I am trying to import .eml files that I have in storage folders in WLM into Thunderbird. From the help section on Thunderbird:

Importing Windows Mail (.eml files) into Thunderbird is enabled by the third-party add-on ImportExport Tools. Download and install this add-on to transfer messages from Windows Live Mail to Thunderbird.

However, ImportExport Tools is an .xpi file and my computer (Windows 7) cannot open it. Although I found a program online that convert it into something readable, my virus software identified the program as malware. Does anyone know a way to safely convert an .xpi file into something Windows can recognize and execute?

Or, is there some other way to get this add-on to run?

When I try to send an email using Thunderbird, a window that says "SMPT Server Password Required" pops up asking me for my password. This never used to happen. When I enter the password of my associated Gmail account, it says "Login to server smtp.googlemail.com failed". If it's not the password of my associated Gmail account, then what password does it want? Is there a way to change the password?

When I send a message to a recipient, a copy of the sent message no longer appears in my Sent Folder. I don't know where the message is being saved, if at all... Thank you. :)

I'm having the same issue as outlined here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1068987

Starting today I have been getting connection to server username@domainname.com timed out' errors.

I was running v31.x so I updated to 38.x but I;m till getting the issue.

- Two separate IMAP email accounts are failing; both are MediaTemple email accounts; neither config has changed; I'm able to access recent messages via iPhone and through webmail interface. - I've restarted Thunderbird in Safe mode, but that didn't help. I've checked password, and all other standard 'is it plugged in?' kind of things - I've gone into the config editor and upped the timeouts of mailnews.tcptimeout, mail.server.server1.timeout, etc. all to 300, no help here either

Any ideas how to fix?

I worry that if my computer fails, my emails will all be "lost". How can I set up my computer to automatically upload copies of all my emails from Thunderbird to my "One Drive" cloud account? Alternatively, if that's a bad idea I want to load them onto a usb stick or a CD? I cannot believe this hasn't been asked before but having searched I didn't find it anywhere.

I have a new notebook preloaded with Win8.1. Have set Chrome as default browser. Installed Thunderbird and everything seems to work fine until I click on a hyperlink in a message body... nothing happens. This was before any add-ons were added. I have read the help article... default browser setup - already set. ... other items were reviewed and I found no abnormalities in my settings.

This seems quite odd as I have no problems on my desktop. Any further ideas to fix this? It gets a little irritating to have to right-click -"Copy Link Location" and then paste into Chrome's address bar.
