Current official docs explains how to backup and move your profile, it assumes you only have one. I have multiple profiles which means about a 20GB backup but I only want to backup one specific profile (<2GB).

The backup is not for recovery but I need to keep a history records for a specific account which can be accessed through Thunderbird even if the original email account no longer exists.

To backup/copy its recommended to do it for this folder %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\ (about 20 GB)

While all I need is %APPDATA\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxx.default-release\ImapMail\Important_stuff* (2 GB folder and .msf file)

Any better solutions than these?

1. Use a backup method that excludes specific folder and files in backup/copy of
2. Have a completely different installation of Thunderbird that only does the Important_stuff account (Thunderbird portable looks like it might do the job).

I suspect the first version will pick up a lot of unnecessary configuration and other stuff.

My Thunderbird connected to my gmail is running slow. Thunderbird is not running slow on my other (non-gmail) account. It takes 10-15 seconds for an e-mail (from gmail) to be deleted or moved within Thunderbird. I have tried "compacting folders" and "repairing folders" and that does not help. Please help!

The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [SYS/PERM] Your account is not enabled for POP access. Please visit your Gmail settings page and enable your account for POP access.

I have swapped my Internet provider fro Inmotion to Bluehost. When the DNS was changed I can no longer receive emails. I am using Thunderbird. Where do I go to change this? I have a lot of emails that I need to keep. I have them on my computer but cannot receive any new email.

Beim Eingeben von Text in ein E-Mail springt der Cursor in das Erinnerungsfeld und stopt die Zeicheneingabe. Das ist sehr störend und verhindert flüssiges Email schreiben. Ich verwende Firefox und Thunderbird auf einem Windows PC der die Bedingungen für Win 11 nicht erfüllt und dem ein Win 11 trotzdem installiert wurde weil entsprechende Anpassungen vorgenommen wurden. Danke für Ihre zeitnahe Rückmeldung

I signed up for Thunderbird. Again. I've been a user for 20+ years. for the last month, I kept getting a message saying it needed a password from/for yahoo. I was stuck.....I didn't know the password and could not get rid of that message, and I couldn't open Thunderbird

So I uninstalled Thunderbird, and just minutes ago tried to reinstall. I got to the donation page, donated, but I never got Thunderbird. I cant get mail from Thunderbird. In fact, I'm not sure it's even installed. Can you help me?

Hi,

In my one account in Thunderbird, I still have the old POP folders, that was a different account. I also have an IMAP account, both have the same address. The pop one does not work but the folders are there, I use them to look old mails up, so far so good. When I sent out an email with my IMAP account, the sent mail goes into the sent folder of the IMAP account, so far so good. BUT when I click on that sent mail and click on reply, it replies to the same address that what it already was sent to, now here comes the problem. THAT copy of the mail, I called the NEW sent, does not go into my sent folder. It goes directly into the sent folder of my old pop account. Even though everything on the IMAP account is standard, re-sent mails are not placed in the IMAP account sent folder. What am I doing wrong here, I know when writing the mail is that I can choose the send address and if I change that it goes in the IMAP sent folder but why is it standard on my old POP account, and why not on the IMAP account even though the IMAP is the standard?

For years I had an pop account in my Thunderbird, next to my Imap account. Both live happily next to each other. Today I moved all the mails from my pop account (which was no long active, nor was it connected to a server) to my local folders. I found out that all of my folder were suddenly twice the size. Compressing didn't do a thing. Why is this?

Thunderbird has become extreme slow. Like it's doing task in the background. Takes emails longer to display and mouse becomes jerky. All other programs OK Especially noticeable after leaving TB running for a while. The previous versions were snappy. This version is very noticeably slower.

I Am needing some help. I was using Proton VPN (free version to try it out) and it was working fine until just now when I opened my thunderbird and it keeps saying pop.dreamhost has been reset and I cannot get my emails now. I looked at the help section here and it said something on here about issues with this and so I tried the suggestions there and it did not work so I just disconnected the VPN entirely and restarted my laptop and it still is giving me the same issues. I need step by step on how to be able to get my emails working again on thunderbird here and also what to do step by step so if I use a VPN again that this will not happen as I travel and need to have access to my emails without these issues. I Am not very technical so an easy step by step would be appreciated. Please help. Thank you

TB is hanging on startup as it cannot connect to an IMAP server (Ping times out) I am chasing this separately. If I click on the TB window it grays out and I have to shut TB. I know which account is causing the problem but how can I start TB WITHOUT it trying to access servers so I can delete the problem account?? Thanks in advance. Paul N

I can't match field names in Thunderbird 158.0 (64-bit) on Win 11 when importing addresses from Google .csv file. The dropdowns to pick TB fields to match the .csv header fields only show one item, usually (and obviously) the wrong one . For example, Last Name is not matched with Last Name and cannot be changed.

I am transferring thunderbird to a new computer. I copied the Thunderbird profile from the old computer to the new computer but most of the old messages are not showing up. I uninstalled thunderbird from the new computer and reinstalled it and again copied the old profile but still the old messages are not there. How can I get them on the new computer?

What do I do about this warning I am receiving when I refresh my inbox? "The certificate for pop.windstream.net is not valid. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue"

   Unable to receive new messages on my Thunderbird inbox for this warning

Downloaded Thunderbird update and program now opens to Xfinity but no updated emails... Can I remove and re-install it without losing all my previous emails and contacts? Or is there any better fix?

• NOTE* It's Version 158.0...
