Bonjour, J'ai eu des problèmes avec thunderbird j'ai voulu réparer, je n'ai fait que tout fermer. J'ai des mails dessus et je voudrai bien tout retrouver. Est-ce possible : mon adresse email est Jean-simof@laposte.net. Merci de votre réponse. Cordialement. Jean Golovine

I am about to set up a new Windows 11 laptop. The old one is a Win10 one, running Thunderbird 128.4.3 32-bit. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet. My Thunderbird profile as recorded by Mozbackup is about 16GB - most of this is archived in Local Folders. I have 15 email accounts (using four different domains, none of them are gmail or hotmail etc) and a newsgroup.

I've looked at various answers (and problems!) around these factors and cannot see the wood for the trees. Can anybody tell me - or direct me to - a clear description of how to go about this? Some questions are:

1. Can I install 64-bit on the new laptop and copy over the old 32-bit profile? If not, is there any problem in continuing to use a 32 bit Thunderbird? I am getting a lot of hanging/not responding in the current TB. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet.

2. How do I ensure that all the archived mail is transferred without problems? I haven't compacted anything lately, since I noticed that sometimes a message stub is retained where the message body seems to have disappeared, and that compacting risks deleting even the message stub, which can be useful.

3. I've been using MozBackup for ages now but it is really ancient - is there a more up-to-date backup that would be reliable?

Thanks in advance! I'm planning on do the new installations at the weekend but anything I can do to prepare would be useful to know!

Installing Thunderbird on a new iMac M4 with Sequoia 15..1.1 OS. Thunderbird says it "failed to find the setting of my email account." I entered the correct gmail user name and the correct password. Any idea on what might be wrong and how to fix it?

I have Thunderbird loaded on my Laptop and would like to install it on my Desktop but I am unable to get it to install there. I don't know what the problem is. If I can get it loaded on the Desktop I will me glad to send in a Donation.

Thank You for your assistance in this matter.

I donated and installed thunderbird on my laptop last week. I have donated twice more in the last few days to install thunderbird on my android phone in the last few days unsuccessfully. I do not know what I am doing wrong. Can you help me?

On my dektop windows 11 I have installed thunderbird , and on this a newsreader who works. On my smartphone samsung s23 android i have installed thunderbird. I exported the account, but the path to my newgroup is missing. How can i istall the newsreader on my smartphone. Thank you for help Friedrich

I have used thunderbird for many years and have installed various versions on many different windows machines. I just got a new PC running windows 11 and installed the current version of thunderbird. The local folders show up but with no content (no subfolders and no messages found). My local folder (about 45 Gb) is located on a dropbox drive so that I can read and save emails on different machines.

I wonder whether it is related to this version? I have installed thunderbird on a different machine about one year ago and it worked fine (thunderbird is currently running this way on 2 other window machines and they are all OK). If this is the case, is there a way I can find and install an earlier version of thunderbird?

Thanks for your help.
