Thunderbird Support Forum

• • • 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

As everyone here knows, Thunderbird 115 is a hot mess; sadly, as they cycle through new releases, it sometimes gets worse, not better. It appears from my update history that 115.2.3 was the most stable of the 115 versions. I'd rather go back to 102 but it seems that the profile was modified in 115 so that it is no longer compatible with 102. Thus a 102 rollback might require quite a bit of work to reimport the profile into a clean install. And I have gigabytes of important mail.

I'm not on 115.4.3 and it is close to unusable, as they screwed up regression in a major bug, and my bugzilla on it has sat unanswered, other than requesting I be nice to the devs. So as a lower-risk option might be to roll back from 115.4.3 to 115.2.3. Has anyone tried anything like that, or know the safest way? I don't know what booby traps they've planted to prevent any rollbacks. Thanks!

Bonjour, Thunderbird ne peut pas se connecter au serveur Orange. Pourtant tout est bon, l'adresse, le mot de passe. Il est impossible de créer un compte. A chaque fois, le message : "Échec de la connexion depuis le serveur imap.orange.fr avec le nom d’utilisateur robert.den-hartigh@orange.fr." Merci de votre réponse. R. den Hartigh.

Greetings-

Installed yesterday, trying to match outlook '13 format in win10;

Must have hidden column headings by accident.. No column picker button at far right top. Alt V seems no good. Tried reinstalling to revert to original. Still no.

Where do I find this?

Help appreciated, Richard

(I'm dying to get away from New Outlook and go back to a Pop3 client with good format, Used FF for many years.)

The message pane in thunderbird is dead after upgrade from 102.12.0 to 115.8.1. New messages won't show up automatically. I allways have to try to scroll down the message list to see if new messages have arrived.

I run Thunderbird on OpenSUSE Linux 15.4.

Hello, our company changed login to our outlook accounts to always use two factor auth. Since that change I cannot login nor create new account in Thunderbird, because the window where I should login to my account is just blank, see attached image.

I recently converted from POP to IMAP. It appears old messages from POP were automatically migrated to the IMAP Local Folder, but how can I confirm that before I remove the old POP account? The conversion instructions said I needed to manually move the old messages, but they are already in the Local Folder.

At Christmas last year I made a complete back-up which came to 6.1Gb. This March my computer crashed and I had to re-install the operating system and all of its programs including Thunderbird. But the backup zip file (when extracted to a folder from the zip file) is in sqllite files, not profile or ics calendar formats. Thus the backup cannot be restored. How do I get Thunderbird to accept these types of files to import the address book, calendar and message filter?

I have been using thunderbird for a few years My email was so big had to put it on a seperate internal drive(A:) My c: drive crashed reinstalled windows but cant seem t figure out where my old emails are. I am sure they are on the A: drive somewhere just cant find them Searched for "Profile", "Thunderboard" Large files just doesn't wnat to show up I guess I am IMAP so it will repopulate just bothers me that I can't find it

When I install Thunderbird, either the Microsoft-approved version (129mb) or directly from thunderbird site (119mb), I get the attached error message. It doesn't matter if I click Cancel or click "Confirm Security Exception", I get the same result. The initial result is that I go into my new Thunderbird email account and all appears fine). But when I try to send an email, I get that same message again (altho with a different 3-digit number following imap.gmail.com) followed by a "message couldn't be sent" error message.

I have used Thunderbird for years, but now that I have installed it on a new computer, setting up my Hotmail and Gmail accounts keeps saying "unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

We just got a new computer because the previous computer died. I downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the new machine, which has Windows 11. I entered my name, email bcde@nc.rr.com and password. It had IMAP configuration on the screen and when I clicked 'Done', it gave me the error "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." When I tried changing it to POP and clicked "Done", I got the same error.

There is a 'configure manually' link, but I do not know how to do that. Please let me know what I should do.

Thanks,

I'm trying to import emails that I backed up from my wordpress website's hosted email on hostgator. I have downloaded a mail.zip file however when I try to import it using Thunderbird it shows 0 emails imported. How can I import the emails using the file I have?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have several email accounts stored on a different internal hard drive, when I say stored I mean choosing a different location in the thunderbird account settings for each email to store the mail boxes, filter rules etc.

I sent my machine back in for repairs and long story short the OS drive ended up being wiped. From what I've seen, in order to import the email profiles which seem to be stored on the OS under approaming or something similar.

I'm struggling to find a way to import my existing accounts with what I have on my other drive. Any ideas on how I might be able to do this?
