Thunderbird Support Forum

I have bought a new Mac Air and I want to get all the email address off of Thunderbird on my desktop and put them on Thunderbird on the laptop. I have had to move most of my files and items by Flash drive because when I migrated it the first time, I overloaded the laptop and had to start all over. So what file can I move from the library to get these on my new laptop?

If I try to import Mail Message in Outlook 2016, the progress will not proceed at 0%

Both Outlook and Thunderbird were running on 64bit

How to solve this?

I have a domain, deskdata.com. For reasons unknown, I have to include the domain in my username for the POP3 mail servers. For example, when I use a web browser to log on, the server wants to see petrier@deskdata.com as my user name. Just using petrier results in a failure. I know this seems a bit strange but I was told to do this years ago and it's been working. Trying to install Thunderbird on a new Windows 11 machine has been frustrating as I'm almost there.

Hi, I am a new TB user, and love it so far :) However, I am on Fedora (new to that too) and installed it via the Fedora repository rather than Flathub. You don't need to know that though, the upshot is...

I need to uninstall TB, and then install it again immediately (from another source). I spent WEEKS getting help from a coder who wrote me a python script and all sorts of headaches to get my massive 20 year email archive converted from mac into TB. So I have tons of nested local folders, and all settings set up nicely. I am scared of losing stuff, account details, settings, worst of all local folders and the emails contained in them.

Please can someone advise me how best to go about uninstalling it and reinstalling it while leaving my entire profile, emails, settings, accounts intact. Is that possible? Thanks

• • • After messing with it for about 8 hours I got it resolved*** I'm moving thunderbird to a new computer. So far I've created a new profile on a the new computer's G: drive and the program is also installed in a different folder on the G: Drive. (I'm planning to have two copies of Thunderbird on the computer). The other copy for different mailboxes will be on the C: Drive. I copied the profile from the old computer to the new computer's G: Drive in a separate location. When I open Thunderbird it lists all my email accounts in the moved profile but when I go into the inboxes they are all blank. I noticed if I left click on the inbox and go to properties it's showing the inbox location as the F: drive (which is where it was on the old computer) for example mailbox:///F:/Thunderbird/Profiles/......... I don't see a way to edit the inbox location. How can I change that so it's looking for the mailboxes on the G: Drive instead of the F: Drive? The path is also a little different between the two computers. The old computer was: F:/Thunderbird/Profiles/........ and the new computer is G:/Thunderbird Data/Profiles/.........

Also I don't know if this makes any difference...On the old computer a 32 bit version of Thunderbird was running even though it is a 64 bit computer. The new computer is running the 64 bit version. They are both updated to the latest Thunderbird release.

Thanks

I have had thunderbird for years and donated. I had a password request in late 2022 which failed so my last inbox item was11/Oct 2022. I would very much like to recover my system for Geoffrey@dunard.uk

After having tried to learn to love Supernova for several months, I cannot. In fact, I have come to loathe, despise and detest its user interface. Are there settings in Views that will give me the old look and feel? Is there a skin I can download. If I cannot I will leave TB after decades of use even if I have to go back to (shudder) Outlook.

For many years I have had an email account with Great Basin Internet Services in Reno, Nevada (I used to live in Reno). For the last 15 or so years I have used Thunderbird on my computer to retrieve my emails from GBIS to read on my computer, store, forward, etc. On Tuesday 12/19/2023 around 10 A.M. I stopped receiving my emails on my computer and also on my smartphone (Galaxy S 8). I spoke to the GBIS tech people and they say that my account is working fine on their end so they suggested contacting Thunderbird to see what changed that might be causing my emails to not download properly from the GBIS account. So I am looking for some direction as to what may have been changed to stop the emails from coming to Thunderbird. Obviously I can't receive any emails right now. You can text me however.

I want to see 3 things on the main screen: -my local file structure -list of received emails that I have not yet files -a pane to view an email I select

I have has this setup on many versions for over 10 years on many machines and now I cannot discoverer how I can access it.

Migrating from an old laptop to a new one. Tried using "Import/Export" utility but the resulting .zip file is too large (~4.0gb). We got the bare bones Inbox folder but none of the sub-folders. How can I copy them over to the new machine if the Import Manager won't recognize the .zip file?

I installed TB 115 portable to review it. I now have it all setup and configured to my liking. Now I want replace my installed v102 with the new portable ver. My plan is to upgrade to installed from 102 to 115.5.2 (same as portable). But what files/directories do I need to move to do this? I have the Installed ver on C: (Win10) and the portable on D: .

Road map please.

I lost my password and had to remove and readded my Suddenlink email, which autodeletes emails past a date and size. I want to have it sync with my local folder inbox only so i can ignore the autodelete off of suddenlinks inbox

I migrated from a working profile when I upgraded from FC37 to FC39. I can see all the email that was in my account at the time I upgraded, but new messages aren't showing up. I have tried both imap.gmail.com and imap.googlemail.com. I saw each in some place or another. I am not being prompted to authenticate which I suspect is the source of the problem.

When installing 115, I get to a page that says "Just one more step! Finish installing, and start enjoying Thunderbird." But there is no "Finish" or similar button. What do I do?
