Frustrated that told to do this do that, and more of stuff I don't understand. Change this, Change what. No matter what how many times i change this or that nothing helps. i have a big headache, and it isn't right to put so much stupid crap that I dpn't understand at all. Nothing is simple; it's not simple. I already paid a $20.00 for a donation so I can use Thunderbird. I can't even use the freaken Thunderbird. I can't figure out what the heck who ever expects me to do this, do that, than more of the same. All I want, is to be able to use Thunderbird, transfer all my emails to Thunderbird. Use the Thunderbird without alot of crazy ass questions, that I have no answers. If this is diffcult to read imagine how I feel. It should be so difficult to use anything, but it sure is. Even writing this, what do I gain, nothing, go away, lose the money I donated for Thunderbird. I would really really appreciate any help to help me sit up this thunderbird email. I really would. Help, dispirited what can I saw. Once this note or what ever is send. It my all be in vein. Tom You can't email, because Firefox screwed that up. I don't have a freaking email right now. can be text on phone to figure out what to do my number [edited phone# from public community support forum]

Hi all,

I installed Thunderbird a few months ago to transfer emails from an email account that is about to be shut down to my Google email account.

I now want to uninstall Thunderbird (and delete all its files from my computer, including emails) but am worried my Google emails will also get deleted (e.g., due to syncing?) in this process.

I would have loved to keep Thunderbird installed but, due to my personal laptop being unavailable when this email transfer began a few months ago, I had to install Thunderbird on my work laptop instead, and I do not want Thunderbird to stay on my work laptop anymore (my employer allows employees to install any software but I will feel better if I just delete Thunderbird from the work laptop at this point).

Please advise, thanks.

Moving Thunderbird to a different computer. Email provider, email address and passwords are the same. Thunderbird setup thinks I'm a new user, which I'm not. How do I solve this issue. [edited email from community support forum]

Goal: I have outlook on a windows 10 desktop with many .pst files I want to keep (emails in folders and contacts)/import into TB. I want to set up Thunderbird on a new laptop PC and use TB instead of Outlook.

I'm setting up Thunderbird first on my desktop but I don’t know how to import the outlook files – one Q&A answer says first install an older version of TB that can do the outlook import (I started this and it couldn’t find my account so I got stuck); another Q&A answer says the outlook files have to be ‘offered’ to Thunderbird and may or may not be.

Can I have human help? I’m happy to pay. Otherwise I don’t think I can figure it out and I’ll just stick with Outlook. I see someone else switched to TB and then went back to Outlook. Hmmm. I wonder why?

Thank you so much. It sure seems like a great product you offer but it's overwhelming figuring out how to get there from here.

Hi, I was just contacted and completed a survey, and signed up for your newsletter. I saw what looks like new products. I wondered if I need to download/upgrade?. Thanking you

Trying to remove Thunderbird. Windows add or remove programs isn't working. I'm trying Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter, which needs Thunderbird's product code.

I can't find it on the site. Can someone give me a hand?

I downloaded Thunderbird into a new computer and there are a lot less emails than on the old computer. I cannot find a setting to download the rest of the emails. Can you please help. Please send me an email telling me if I can download the rest of them.

I wanted to install Thunderbirds on my Ipad (Apple Air). In the AppStore I didn‘t found a Link for a Download, - so I used a downloadlink in the Internet. About 149,…MB. After the complete Download I couldn‘t install the Programm on the IPad. The Icon is „grey“ designed and seems to be not activatable. I‘ve had the same problem with libre office.bold text

1) Firstly, I posted earlier because I needed to add a second app-specific password to my account. What I discovered was that my Account Settings tab had disappeared. I got a response from someone that I had to change my email password, and it would reappear. IT DIDN'T. So I've changed my password and I still have no access to my Account Settings! What do I do? I really don't understand why, if I could log in with my old password, what the point is to change the password to correct the Account Settings problem. I need HELP!

2) I need HELP getting either Thunderbird (my normal email client) connected or change to a new email client that will actually work. The problem is that Thunderbird for some reason can't connect even with an app-specific password! I have been struggling with this for more than two days and there is NO HELP from GMX that solves the problem. And it's not just GMX, there's no help from Thunderbird. My sole source of help has been to post queries on the internet and follow what AI tells me which has been only part right. At least it's something. But now I can't even change my account settings!!!!

Can somebody PLEASE help me? [edited email from community support forum]

Keep on downloading Mozilla Thunderbird Release but it keep coming up as ESR. How can just have Release? My email account with Mozilla is [edited email from community support forum] @pc-q.net can you reply there.

Hello,

for some reasons I need to downgrade a TB installation (Mac silicon 148.0.1) to the ESR channel, 140.8.1esr for Mac silicon.

I read articles in the KB where Mozilla discourages this, but I would avoid to move 15Gb circa of emails by hand copying and pasting them...

So is there anyone that has tried this before? Any suggestion how to do it without loosing e-mail in th process?

Thanks fr your support.
