Sicherung der vorhandenen E-mail- ordner mit Inhalt auf Thunderbird, um einen weiteren Zugriff auf diese Emails nach dem Wechsel zu Deutscher Glasfaser zu erhalten

Last night Thunderbird deleted all my sent e mails. I had 7000 items in my sent mailbox. This morning they all were gone, except for things sent since 10:00 pm last night. Our server provider said they were deleted by Thunderbird.

Does anyone know why this happened and can they be recovered.?

We do a back up on an external drive. Can we go back two days and get them reloaded?

Is there a way to prevent this happening in the future?

I am using an old PC running Windows 7...yes, I know we are beyond support.

Thanks, Nancy

Hi,

How do I transfer emails from Thunderbird Desktop to Thunderbird Android?

I have successfully imported my settings, but I want to add all my emails that are currently on my desktop.

How do I do it please?

I am considering changing from my current email server to another. How do I move my TB account from one server to another? And does the physical location of the server have any effect on my account? I am moving from the US to Europe.

Migrei do Windows para o Linux recentemente e preciso das pastas de e-mails e contatos do Outlook. Como importar ou converter arquivos pst do Outlook para o Thunderbird? Grato.

Hi!

I am trying to upload some backups after moving from one email platform to the other. The mailbox was deleted from the old platform and created on the new one and now I am trying to upload the backups but when the upload finishes, nothing happens, the profile stays the same, I don't see the backups added to the Thunderbird profile so that I may copy them into the new mailbox.

I;m using the Thunderbird import tool, but do not see the import for outlook. This has probably to do with the fact the my Thunderbird runs on the virtual Mint linux. (via VMWare). Outlook needs to be installed on the same system as Mint I suppose, and that is not the case. Does someone know a solution to this?

Linux Mint 2.3 (Cinnamon), VMWare Player 15, Windows 10, Outlook 2007. (the last 3 are not the latest !)

I followed the recommended procedure to transfer the TB profile from an older W10 computer to a new W11 computer (both using POP accounts ), via a USB Flash Drive. The folders are all listed on the USB profile copy and observed during the scrolling detailed view while being copied to the new computer. Nevertheless, they are NOT listed in Local Folders on the new profile. Instead, ALL the messages (approx 700 of them!) are presented as UNREAD in the inbox folder. How can I restore the original folder sorting?

I am trying to upload all my Yahoo sent box e-mails to Thunderbird, but Thunderbird says it is uploading only 10,000 e-mails - but my sent box contains 30,000. How can I get it to upload all of my sent box?

I exported all my 5 email accounts from Desktop Thunderbird to mobile Thunderbird. All were successful except for two accounts which only have one folder visible, the Outbox. All accounts are sycnhed and Manage Folders displays no folders. Help please to resolve problem.

I was cleaning up my GMX account in Thunderbird. Then, I wanted to move a whole folder out of the normal one and picked "local folder", but now I can't find where that local folder should be.

It would be very important for me to find my files again.

Why does it say "local folder" when it doesn't create a local folder somewhere?

Thank you for your help.

I want to make a local back-up not only of my local Thunderbird folders, but also on the on-line folders. I am using IMAP and as far as I get, using the "export options", you only back-up data in the local folder. How do I ensure that I get a local copy of also the on-line inbox (and all of its sub folders)

I'm losing a school email account due to graduation. TB is set up to sync, so an email deleted remotely also is deleted on my PC. How do I stop that, or at least copy the emails I have? Thank you.

Hi. I am trying to create a local only thunderbird where I only access locally stored MBOX's. I have added the ImportExport tools but it only shows the option to import EML files and for the life of me I cannot set up a local folder. I also added the Local Folder tool but it didn't seem to do anything.

Moving from a Win 10 machine with TB ver 102.15.1 (64-bit) (Old I know but I still dislike the "new" interface and it still works) to new machine using Mint 22.3 Cinnamon with TB 140.9 esr (64 bit) - (biting the interface bullet)

Copied over the content of the profile folder to the existing profile folder on the new machine. Mail files are in ImapMail directory and mail functions normally.

All local folders came over but under mail I have 3 directories: Local Folders non networked Local Folders smart mailboxes all the local folders accessible through the old client are located in the non networked... directory

These local folders are not showing through the new client. I see just deleted and outbox, which presumably corresponds to the trqash and unsent messages files in the Local Folders directory on the new machine.

I have a vague memory that about 18 months ago I looked into whether or not I could place the local folders on a network drive, so that they would be on one of my NAS drives that gets backed up automatically but I didn't think that I had done anything about this.

Question therefore: Is this a version issue, an OS issue or something else entirely causing me to not see the local folder content in the Mint client? & How do I correct this?

Thanks

I'm using Windows 11 and the latest (Supernova) version of Thunderbird, and old emails in "Local Folders" are filling up my SSD C-drive. Moving old emails to an archive on an external drive (not the Cloud) would be my preferred solution, but I can't make the Thunderbird "Archive" function work - and, anyway, it may well not be the best way to do it. Can anyone help, please.

I want to use POP3 (limited Serverspace). When the mails are deleted on the server and stored on the phone, i would like to backup the mailbox. Where does Thunderbird for Android save POP3 Mailboxes? OR Is there a Backup-Restore Feature for POP3 Mailboxes? Thaks a lot!
