Thunderbird Support Forum

I have an Outlook email account which I manage using Thunderbird.

For reasons not known to me some strange folders have appeared in the folder list. The folders in question all have italian names and appear to be some sort of system error folders - Problemi di sincronizzazione.

I do not recognise them, they are empty and are not visible when I view the outlook account using a browser.

I would like to delete them but when I attempt to do so I get an error message "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account Outlook responded:Command Argument Error. 11."

Any help to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance

so i have a backup local folder where i copy all the mails from the inbox of an account from, and another local folder where i copy the spam folder of an account from, but i am doing that manually, and i don't just delete the now backed up mails. so next time i have to find out first where the cutoff is, before i start selecting and copying again, because otherwise i'd be backing up duplicates.

is there an easier way to avoid duplicates, or a synchronization function that takes care of avoiding duplicates for me?

Using TBird 102.11.0: I have two accounts in TBird, A and B. I have a different smtp server configured for each one. I have flagged the server for Acct B as the default which worked fine until the last upgrade yesterday. Now when I write, it only selects the server for A. I can use the drop down to select the B server, but I want that as the default when I WRITE from the A account. If I WRITE from the B account, it works fine. How can I get it to use the B server all the time unless I manually select the A server?

I had a large number of e-mails in two separate accounts and all of a sudden, they were gone and I had only a few from today. What happened? I need them for records and such.

Email attachment icon is small dot with two curved brackets on each side, no paper clip. Clicking on it only offers option to download for offline use. Cannot find download after, not in download file. Cannot open attachments at all. Something changed, not sure what.

After moving my thunderbird 104 profile to 115 supernova (including the profiles.ini file), I can see the full list of accounts and folders in supernova, but none of the emails are visible. I can receive and send new messages, but again - none of them are visible when I want to see them later in the inbox or sent folders. Moreover, the right-click mouse button does not work on the whole list of accounts/folders on the left side of the agent. What to do. I have 16Gb of emails and cannot use them.

I report all spam emails that I receive at my Yahoo email addresses. As it stands, I have to manually check for spam on Yahoo, restore it to the inbox, and then do a separate, manual download to get those messages onto Thunderbird to process and email (my preferred way of doing things). Is there a way/setting that allows Thunderbird to go into the Yahoo spam folder and retrieve those messages as well, in one retrieval operation along with the rest of my mail? Thanks- :)

Hi there. I'm a non-developer but I've been using Thunderbird Beta for a while. I'm not enjoying the current updates (no drag and drop function to move messages between folders!) and would like revert to regular Thunderbird (currently 102.10). I use Backup Thunderbird but I don't think it will load into an older install of Thunderbird. Advice for a safe way to migrate to regular Thunderbird without losing data? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I just installed Thunderbird Beta (114.0b6 - 64 bit) out of curiosity.

When I import RSS Feed, all icons representing folders are gone unlike on Thunderbird Stable version.

Although Feed Subscription pop up window still show icon for each feed folder.

Is this normal on Thunderbird Beta?

Hey! Question about thunderbird (but if it can be done on a different email app I'm with it) Inheriting an inbox which has thousands of emails being forwarded to one address Don't want to mark all as read at once, is there a way of adding each address to different boxes so I can open and deal with them one at a time? (and, so the "email opened" can ping as I go through them, not in one instant) Thanks!

1. 1. What Happens

Everything worked fine. Computer simply shut off due to low battery. I rebooted, and when I opened Thunderbird flatpak version 115.1.1 (thunderbird-flatpak - 1.0), the "set up account" screen showed up with none of my previous settings and accounts.

1. 1. What I Tried

I tried importing my profile manually, but in the console it gives the following error: ``` Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not open the file at /home/user/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird/prefs.js ```

I tried importing both `~/.thunderbird` and `~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird` and it gave the same error.

Then, I tried moving all my data from `~/.thunderbird` to a `~/thunderbird-backup` folder, create a new profile *fake* in with the thunderbird "set up account" screen, delete the data it just created in the new `~/.thunderbird` profile, and finally move back in my data from `/thunderbird-backup`.

Now the error `Uncaught (in promise) DOMException` does not show up anymore. However, it does not resolve the issue.

It looks like the import operation works fine, as it tells me it is finished and that it needs to reboot. However, when it reboots, it comes back again with the same "set up account" screen, and none of my data is on there.

Any idea what’s going on? Also, why are there two `.thunderbird/` folder with profiles in it (one in `~/.thunderbird` and one in `~/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/.thunderbird`)? Is it part of the problem?

After changing my password I get the following error message: "Server imap.pt.lu has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem" Thunderbird is running well on my mobile, so why not on my PC? I have tried these things: Internet connection is working (as you can see from this mail) I have checked server settings, they seem okay. I have deinstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. All to no avail. Can you help me?

Is there a way to apply a setting of message list columns to all folders in Thunderbird?

I saw one posting that said you could do it for each account but when I tried that nothing changed. I was able to get it to work with a single folder and it's children.

I'm running Thunderbird 115.2.0 / Windows 10 64bit

Oh, no! It looks like an unexpected error occurred. We've already notified the site administrators. Please try again now, or in a few minutes.

Hello, I'm migrating from Outlook Express to Thunderbird 102, in Windows 8.1. I'd like to import my Address Book (.wab file) into TB 102. It seems a direct import is not possible (?). I have to convert my .wab file to a .csv file that TB can import. But doing so, I loose all the organization of my old address book (1500 contacts and tens of folders and sub-folders) ! How can I save the organization (folders) of my old address book in TB ? Tks in advance for your answers and solutions.
