Hello fellow Thunderbirds,
I have been using Thunderbird for years and had thousands of emails in quite a few folders, with a shit-tonne of filters etc. My emails were running pretty well. I only use two addresses, but the folders help manage everything.
I just got a new computer last week. Prior to switching over to the new computer I read through the 'Export your Thunderbird Profile' help page, and the 'Move Thunderbird data to a new computer' pages. I've tried to follow all the info there (with a glitch, explained below).
I am using a Windows system and have gone from Win10 to Win11.
I have the following data:
I tried to swap the above data into the same spots on the new computer, but alas, it's not working. I *may*, however, have fucked it up myself...
So... When I got the new computer, I immediately downloaded Firefox, but, alas, I entered my email's details before closing it down. It did download a few off the server, but only a day's worth (before I realised I screwed up).
As soon as I realised I'd mucked up, I uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted the files on the new computer (you know how when you download it doesn't always remove all the stuff, so I tried to do this).
I reinstalled Thunderbird, but closed it prior to loading the email addresses on (as instructed). I then transferred all the above data into the corresponding file areas on the new computer. However, everytime I try to run the program it just goes to the standard open screen (with the popup that prompts you to enter your email addresses and details into it - see image, below, in case I'm not explaining it right).
Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me as I'm desperate to get my emails running again and have access to all the saved emails which were in my system. Kindly. Larysa.

I choose to use POP not IMAP. Yesterday morning, messages downloaded as normal, no problem. Yesterday afternoon, they did not download and I received this message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." I had done nothing at all to my system in the meanwhile, as far as I am aware. I have tried deleting a lot of old emails from my inbox, and emptying the 'Deleted' folder. Any suggestions very welcome.

Hi, I have a problem with hundreds of Casino type emails filling up my spam folder so I asked AI for help. AI suggested I change my mail handeling from Standard to Strict. Ever since then it will not stay on Standard, it keeps reverting to Strict every time I try to revert it back, therefore all my wanted emails go straight to Spam. I need to check through heaps of Casino emails and take out my wanted emails which is so annoying!! How can I change it back so as it stays changed? I will not ask AI for help ever again, it was working fine until I changed it. Ugh.
I am not sure how to find out what version Thunderbird is, how do I find out please. It should be up to date as I have everything set on automatic up date.

I read that "Once a message is marked as junk, it will disappear from the main inbox view and be relocated to the specified junk folder." However, that does not happen. Once I mark a message as spam, it just has a red mark next to it and I have to go to Tools and have it "delete mail marked as spam from folder".

The issue is that the text I type into the top level of account settings, which has Account Name, and Default Identity, doesn't save. Initially I entered the email address and Thunderbird found the correct details, but I was creating seven new accounts and was going to come back later and fill in the details. However, the details on this page don't stick, wand it reverts to blank entries (as shown in the attached image), and each account's name defaults to the email address. It's awkward because if I create a new message it won't add a signature because that gets cleared with the other details on this page.
This might be related to an earlier question I asked Delete Account button doesn't work. since it's on the same page as the DELETE button. This suggests to me that there's a script engine that I'm missing on my PC. This is only a guess. I use Fire Fox as my main browser, and Vivaldi as a backup. As I say, this is only a guess.

Today I started to receive this error message when I went to download emails from my aol account to thunderbird. This is the first time this has happened. "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." We have plenty of disk space so that can't be the problem. I could see many other people are experiencing this problem and there seem to be a variety of solutions depending on the circumstances. We are on Windows 11, we don't have McAfee installed but us Norton antivirus. I tried checking the settings, I've rebooted, and not sure what else to do. I can't remember some of the other comments I read. However, I am not technical and couldn't understand most of the suggested solutions. How do I get remedial help to figure this out?

Years ago when I was using Thunderbird there was "fix" for the Advance to next message pop-up, which appears when you press N or P to move to the next/previous message, and that message is on another account. If I remember correctly I think the fix was going into the "debug list" where you could change individual settings if you knew the name of the setting, and set it to off.
Anyway I couldn't find that list at all in the current version (probably a good thing). Is there a setting somewhere or fix where I can turn off this popup?

I have a new windows laptop. I run thunderbird e-mail. I have about 13 e-mail accounts and numerous folders and a few address books and groups.
I need to transfer it entirely to the new laptop.
Where do I go on the old computer to copy files to a drive then go to new laptop and paste files to seamlessly accomplish this move?
I have attached 2 pics showing the accounts and beginning of the folders I have.
How do I copy/move/transfer everything?

I'm a newbie. I am financially obligated to have an ATT/Yahoo email acct. It is 2-factor ID. Can't properly save and utilize the email there, but must keep acct. Need to set up Thunderbird so that I can transfer/save those emails to Thunderbird. ZERO help from Yahoo... If it is possible to do, hoping someone can give easy steps to accomplish. I can try to explain further... If so, very many THANKS beforehand. scooter

Hi I am having problems signing into or adding my tpg account email address through both outlook and thunderbird. My address and passwords are correct and I have used the settings in both email programs as listed by the messaging company. The error message I am getting is that on thunder bird it cannot find the settings for my emaill account and on outlook it cant find the settings. I have had ongoing issues with my tpg account, this one is a pop3, since the messaging co took over the emails when tpg moved them to there. Issues are that i get very sporadic emails ie one week working the next nothing for long periods of time. I can successfully add gmail accounts to thunderbird and outlook without problems but the tpg one is my issue. I can get tpg emails through the gmail app on my phone with pop 3 settings but nothing on thunderbird. I have contacted the messaging co for help but other than settings they cannot help and suggested coming to thunderbird for help. I prefer to use thunderbird as my email program to have everything on one would be great again. Can anyone offer advice or assistance I would greatfully appreciate it

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:
- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit
If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.
In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.
I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.
Email configuration (from Spectrum).
IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password
SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?
Mahalo, Harry Z
