Thunderbird Support Forum

For some reason, my Thunderbird recently "updated" to version 115.10.2, and the "About Thunderbird" dialog says that it is on the "esr update channel." I can find no information about the esr channel. However, when I start Thunderbird, it displays the "Welcome to Thunderbird DAILY" screen. Am I correct that this is an error? If I were really on the daily channel, I think that the version number should be higher.

Need to set up Thunderbird to receive emails from yahoo. Cox is transitioning emails to yahoo presently have two addresses : cliven@cox.net and daciaandclive@cox.net

We have been using Thunderbird with a Cox email account. Cox has just transferred all its customers to Yahoo. I want to use Thunderbird with Yahoo. How do I set that up?

I got a new laptop and wanted to set up Mozilla Thunderbird for an existing Gmail account. I tried several times, all failed, with a warning "unable to connect with server imap.gmail.com, may be userid and password are wrong". But I can logon to my Gmail account (with the same userid and password) on Firefox website and on my previous computer, so the id and password are correct). And I was able to set up another Gmail account on Thunderbird in this new laptop (so the version of Mozilla is not the culprit) with the same server settings (port for incoming and outgoing mails, authentication methods SL/TLS, O Auth2 etc). Will someone please help me?

Hi. I love Thunderbird! But I cannot use a Gmail account.

It all started when I changed the underlying password for my Gmail account (for routine security). I changed the password too on my Thunderbird client for SMTP and IMAP.

But then it popped up with: https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?app_domain=http://localhost& [etc]

it keeps giving me this message:

"400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know."

I've tried to read online what's going on. I've deleted the account and tried to set up again, and closed Thunderbird. It keeps doing this. I've checked Google settings ... nothing untoward. It doesn't have a link to Thunderbird still.

What can I do?

Thanks, Dan

I wish to try K-9 Mail on my Android - eventually I want Thunderbird. When I start K-9 it offers me "IMPORT SETTINGS" and then says CHOOSE FILE. What file(s) do I need to bring over from my Thunderbird profile to get 1. the address book(s) and 2. the email account data?

I had to replace my hard drive and now have Win 11. I still have my Thunderbird account, but I cannot access the 3000+ emails in my folders. My Thunderbird started from scratch, no history, no files. How do I access and download my saved emails and folders from before the hard drive replacement? The Geek Squad couldn't help. Keep it simple, I'm not a techie.

I would like to have either of these options:

1. Numbered list item Set Get All Messages to Download/Sync now...
2. Numbered list item A (custom) button on the Toolbar for Download/Sync now...

While there was a suggestion in this [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1387615|thread] to add the following into the Config Editor. It does not work.

• Bulleted list item 'mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new' set as 'TRUE'

Hi, I have upgraded my computer and Thunderbird, however only the INBOX folder is loading.

I have followed the instructions to migrate the folders from the 'Profile Folder' on the old computer, the data has transferred but is not organised as folders, as on the old computer and of course on the main server.

I don't mind if all the data is not on my computer so long as the Folders are there, empty or not but organised in as they are on the main server.

I'm wondering if I selected an incorrect setting while setting up the account within Thunderbird on the new computer.

Thank you and kind regards, Mark.

When I try using the box to align fields (First Name, Last Name, etc.) I get a couple of lines to match up and then after that as I continue they all start to float around. What is the method for setting the left side with the right side of the box? I'm importing my address box from Gmail.

I have been using Thunderbird 91.7.0 with Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6. A new installation of Microsoft Office 2021 requires me to upgrade Mac OS. Is Thunderbird compatible with Mac OS Monterey?

Hello,

So, my company want to trash their Exchange server for Gmail accounts. Welp, OK... but Thunderbird (last version) doesn't cooperate.

I tried to add a new account with the correct information. I set the IMAP/SMTP of Google as this is an other domain, SSL connection and OAUTH2 on both servers as needed. The Google window appeared, login and password is fine, I clicked on Authorize.

But Thunderbird doesn't want to create the account because of a sudden login/password issue.

The login/password is fine, I tried it on the browser and I did succeed the OAUTH2 process so this is not the issue. The Google account states that Thunderbird is indeed authorized.

Cookies are authorized.

I tried to change the password for something more stupid.

Heck, I even recreated a new profile without changing anything. In desperation, I even tried using the standard password method after activating the Less Secure Application in the Google account.

Thunderbird still refuses to connect to this account, with the same login/password error.

I don't get it.

Does someone have a solution before I shoot this retarded bird ?

Cordialy,

I have tried following the video of how to transfer thunderbird. HOwever when it says to download and open thunderbird on new computer without setting up an account that isn't possible. Every time I try to download and open thunderbird it opens it with the partial transfer than my husband accomplished. It left out all my contacts and most of my archived emails. What archives it did move are not grouped by year. I need the complete contacts and archives. HOw can I get them transferred given that I can't open thunderbird without the messed up partial transfer automatically showing up? It prevents me from getting to a place where I can 'go 3 steps back to roaming' as that has never been an option

Why do I see this page with the heading of casalemedia.com when attempting to sign in first time to yahoo mail account with OAUTH2

I am moving my email hosting from one hosting account to another. I have both accounts configured in Thunderbird. The original account has many many folders and sub-folders. How can I copy the structure and all the contained emails to the new account?

Hello I noticed that I still use thunderbird 32bit, if I download and install over it thunderbird 64bit will it keep everything from the 32bit version? (accounts, offline folders etc)

Have been trying to upgrade for quite a while now but 68.12.1 is the last version that works. Any newer TB is mostly blank, settings can't be opened, the hamburger menu on the top right doesn't work. Account manager can be opened and shows accounts correctly.

Versions I tried: 78.5.1, 78.10.2, 91.7.0. None of them work.

Remedies I attempted to no avail:

• Delete global-messages-db.sqlite
• Create a new profile
• Delete AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird completely (with backup)

I'm on Windows 10 (64bit 21H2). Downgrading to 68.12.1 restores full functionality.

My main motivation for upgrading is for a potential fix to the RSS address cannot be found bug.

Is there any chance I can get a newer version running?

I have re-installed Windows 10, and Thunderbird. My address book information and messages are missing. Can these be found somewhere and saved.

thanks

Rod Owen
