I opened Thunderbird this morning and there were no issues. Closed it and just now reopened and I'm getting this message: Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

It downloaded 28 emails but will not let me see/access them.

Can anyone help? Thanks, Linda

I replaced my computer. I followed these directions:

Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

I installed Thunderbird on the new computer. I opened Thunderbird and canceled configuring it. I copied the Thunderbird folder from my old C drive to the new computer to this folder:

C:\Users\bkoop\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

I opened Thunderbird. All my 6 email accounts were listed. I had to click on folders for the message total number to appear. Several accounts received messages but no messages were retrieved for my main email account: bkoopers@irbl.net The 20 to 50 emails that I would normally receive after I powered off the old computer yesterday and up until 5:30 pm today when I setup Thunderbird on the new computer are not there. I logged into the webmail website for my bkoopers@irbl.net account. All emails not retrieved by Thunderbird should be listed there but there were no emails in the Inbox there. I had somebody send me an email. It appeared at the webmail screen. I selected "Get messages" for that email account in Thunderbird and I retrieved that message. A few minutes later, several other new emails arrived in Thunderbird in that email account. The emails from the previous 24 hours are just not there.

In addition, I have three Add-ons that I had installed: Quick Folder Move ReFwdFormatter ReplyWithHeader

They are listed in the Add-ons screen but they do not work. They do not say they are incompatible with Thunderbird v155.9.0. Do I need to remove and re-install them?

Can anybody tell me what happened to 24 hours worth of new emails from yesterday and earlier today?

In Aug 2023, I posted the thread, "Account Inactivity." Basically, I was advised that T-bird is a 3rd party app and by using T-bird to pop my email from gmail, that keeps my gmail account active. I now must question that.

Back in December '23, I went to log into gmail in my browser to check the spam folder for an email I had been waiting on. I could not log in. I got caught in that "inactive account" loop from hell. Took me about two months before I could finally get logged in in a browser. At the time, I figured I had just been unlucky enough to have been caught up in the "inactive account" thing by accident.

Now, today, I went to log in to another gmail account in my browser to change my password after a spam email with an attachment was popped to T-bird. And I could not get logged in. I jumped thru all of Googles firey little hoops. I played their "I am not a Bot" game, and entered the code I had them send to my recovery email account. THIS particular email address is NOT used for anything but LEGITIMATE dealings - bank, credit cards, bills, credible merchants. No jokes, no funny pix, no love letters, no nonsense. I dunno where this spam email came from. I apparently have not been pwned (yet). But I want to be safe. I want to change my password.

Anywhooooooooo.... it appears that simply popping my email to T-bird since T-bird is considered a 3rd party app that is allegedly one of the ways to keep my gmail account active... is NOT working. I'm not a real happy camper right now. I really wouldn't care since this doesn't seem to stop T-bird from being to get me my email. BUT...you HAVE to log in to webmail to change your password.

Perhaps using "Sign in with Google" literally means using those links you find scattered around, and popping email to T-bird is not included??

Once again, I came here hoping for help/answers/advice rather than giving myself a stroke dealing with illogical, no-help, online nonsense at Google.

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm using thunderbird on a macbook pro (sonoma 14.2.1).

I had to reinstall one of my email accounts on Thunderbird. After reinstalling it, I had lost all my emails and folders on Thunderbird. The good news is that I could find these files on my hard drive.

I successfully imported the folders but I can't import my emails again. These are saved in a Mozeml format. I have tried to import them - with the add-on ImportExportTools NG - copy-pasting the emails directly on the new account in the Finder

But non of these two options work and I thus only have access to the emails since the reinstallation of my email account on thunderbird.

Do you know how I could import emails in a Mozeml format into Thunderbird?

Let me know if you need more information to understand my question.

Thank you in advance for your help 🙏

I am running T-bird 115.9.0 on Windows 11.

The T'bird icon on my Start Menu (not task bar, but start menu) persistently shows a red dot on top of the icon. There is no number inside the dot, so it is not telling me how many unread messages I have. The dot does not go away when I have ZERO unread messages. The dot does not go away when I uncheck the "app icon options" toggle.

The red dot is always present, never changes, never goes away. It is not causing any problems and I can live with it, but it is annoying, like an unnecessary and unhelpful alarm that rings every day.

Please comment if you have suggestions for getting rid of it. Thanks in advance.

I migrated Thunderbird from a windows 10 pc to a new windows 11 pc using Laplink PC mover software. It successfully copied all my messages, address book etc. but the appearance was nothing like it was on the windows 10 machine. I've fixed most of the problems but the column headers are barely visible. I can't find anything in the settings despite hours of trying. Attached is a screen shot of the barely visible column headers, indicated by the red arrow.

Any help will be appreciated,

I constantly used email to send images to my watercolor students. Still use PICASA, a Google app that hasn't been supported in years, but still works fine, and immediately would send the selected photos via emClient email. BUT THEN i decided to download Thunderbird; it did not have certain functions i wanted (I doubt any program does), so my computer guy de-installed it. BUT THE PROBLEM is, when i went to Picasa to email photos to a class, it did not automatically open an emClient window, but gave me the choice of using Thunderbird or GoogleMail. ??? even tho Thun. was de=installed. My consultant found it was a MAPI Problem, and we have spent hours trying to fix it, with no luck. FastStone photo editing would also not work to send emails. Is it possible that downloading Thunderbird could have somehow correupted my general MAPI function?

We have spent HOURS trying to fix it, and no luck. Finally i said, let's re-install Thunderbird, and at least now i can email photos directly from FastStone. But not from Picasa, which is a huge loss to me. PLEASE, i know Picasa is ancient, but now it doesn't even give me the choice of Thun. or Gmail when I click on "Send by email". Please, can anyone help with this MAPI issue?? My consultant tried everything, but it seems to be corrupted in some way. Thank you so much!

A few days ago emails with attachments (pdf, jpeg), and of various sizes, stopped sending (timed out). The problem appears to only exist when I send from my desktop, not using webmail. All had been working fine prior to a few days ago. Emails without attachments send fine. Incoming emails (with and without attachments are also fine). I have had several discussions with my internet service provider who claim there is no issue at their end. I have checked my account/server settings in Thunderbird and all seems correct there. I'm using the POP mail server, if that is relevant. Any thoughts or suggestions welcome. Not being able to send emails with attachments if a major impediment.
