Stipefoarum foar Thunderbird

On Sunday 2nd June I removed and then reloaded Thunderbird, which ceased to function the previous day.. Now I can't send but can receive e mails, and it has lost my entire e mail address list. I need this list to be restored asap, please, so I need advice.

Hi I did a backup with Zip.file, and then tried to reinstall. Now somme accounts do not have sent/spam/trash Bin folders. When i try to send a mail, i am told that there is not enouch space on the disk to save the message, and that the message will be save in a local folder ? How can I get back to my "old" and working setup Kind regards Michael

Hi, I'm a MTB newbie Version 115.11.1 and am just trying to import my comcast.net address book from CSV. MTB seems to be totally confused about the columns. I'd be happy to adjust the column assignments, as I think I'm supposed to, but it won't let me. The automatically selected column name is the only option allowed in the drop-down. See attached.

Is this by design? Do I need to reorder the columns within the exported file. Seems a bit much really, but ultimately doable, I guess.

Any other options? Or what am I doing wrong

TIA Tim

Tell me how to move, first, andrew@8on8.com, then andrew@luvli-homes.com to you. The latter is with 20i. I do not know where andrew@8on8 is. Please tell me what to do to move these DNs to you.

Hello, Recently I was migrated from Cox email to Yahoo mail and had to change my setting on Thunderbird. The emails work fine, but there seems to a lot of missing folders. I tried to look for the latest backup file, but it does not exist. The latest backup I have is of the year 2022.

Kindly assist me in retrieving my lost folders.

p.s I have searched for the folders under the default profile section but they do not exist.

TB 115.11.0 (64-bit, W10). ABOUT shows 115.11.1 avail. Selecting WHATS NEW gives a "Welcome to Thunderbird Daily page" with some warnings and other links, etc. Going to Release Notes (for 115.11.0) then "See all releases" shows a link for 115.11.1, but when selected, missing page.

I've used thunderbird for a few years, but I think a recent change in outlook.com has messed things up.

My account is detected to use oath2 for authorization, but when I click "done", it tries for a while and then say "unable to log into serve".

What I expect is that it would bring up a web browser or something so I could do the oath dance to enter my credentials, but that doesn't happen.

I installed TB 115.11.0. I started and TB want an E-Mail-Acc.

But i don't want to configure an new acc, i want migrate my old profiles.

I copied the profile-folder as described online, but they didn't appear.

Meanwhile i used an diffrent Mail-Acc and TB starte to sync and delete all older Mails, was wasn't wanted.

So i have an empty Mail-Acc and couldn't migrate my old Mails.

I'm trying to see whether Thunderbird may work for me.

Situation: I've been using a 2012 mac mini, now upgrading to a M1 mac mini.

I have used the mac's "MAIL" program for over a decade. Some of its folders are pretty large.

For reasons not important here, I can't use the apple "migration assistant", and have tried to migrate the folders to the now-current Mail program... and they utterly fail.

Thus, since I liked the look of Thunderbird, I figured I'd see if IT could import the mailboxes. Short answer, not well enough.

I've read up on it, tried various ways, added the import/export extention; of course the program will NOT import mailboxes directly from mac Mail despite claiming to... a known flaw... but it will also not import the MBOX files and then use them.

It does seem to import the whole file, in that if I check the resources for thunderbird in the user file, I see that one test mailbox has indeed kept the full 2.15gb capacity... but rather than showing the roughly 37,000 emails in that file, it only shows about 6,000. I've tried it multiple times, and have gotten different file totals between 5100 and 6300 total.

Any workaround, or is Thunderbird not for me?

Thanks for any advice.

I've gone through most of the questions asked regarding this and have tried to follow all of the directions but none of them work. Let me begin by saying this is the worst time I've ever had at migrating from an old computer to a new computer using TB ever. EVER! This is the worst. I am moving from an ASUS Win11 to a HP Win11 so there shouldn't be that much of a problem. I've done this more than a few times so I know the drill of copying the %appdata% from one place to another. I have installed uninstalled deleted reinstalled, uninstalled reinstalled deleted three times and keep getting the same problem and have been doing this going on three days. I donated to get his copy and am about to ask for my donation back if I don't get a very simple answer. I keep getting that error message no matter what I do. I need a very simple walk through on how to get what I am able to save from the old computer into the new computer without a lot of magic and rain dancing and click here and delete this and see if this sticks. I need a very simple take your profile.zip and unpak it here then open TB and do this. PERIOD. The profile is on the same computer not a server. If I cannot get a quick down and dirty answer please just tell me and I'll ask for my donation back and move to MS outlook and deal with their FU'ed POS. I really don't know why TB has taken a turn for the worst here. But it's not looking good IMHO.

Hi, Last week, my Thunderbird just stopped showing new incoming mail. I have tried many, many times to get it up and running with my new emails. I am with Telstra as my internet provider, running Windows 11 and Norton360. I am not able to send either. All my folders are OK, and I have not lost any content. I am able to see new emails on my Telstra email but I prefer to have Thunderbird. Please advise what to do. Ryan

I am migrating from Thunderbird to Office 365. I have moved the email by putting the Gmail details into Office 365. However could you please advise how I can migrate Tasks , Calender and Contacts from Thunderbird to Office 365 without having to pay for an Mbox to pst conversion tool.

I downloaded. I donated. Then a screen come up with an envelope and some love hearts saying "one more step". But there is no indication as to what that step is or how to take that step! How does one install this program?

After recent update to Thunderbird 115.11.0, I can't send emails through my hotmail smtp server.

Error message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com timed out. Try again.

I read the Thunderbird update for 2024 information that recommends changing Normal Password to OAuth, but OAuth is not an option on the drop down list of methods. (see attached)

How do I fix this? Thanks

I've been getting error messages when I send emails using thunderbird about server timing out. As a last resort I tried removing all accounts, and just set it up again. But then I started getting the error message during manual configuration step "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account". I've already tried creating a new profile I'm still getting the same error.

here's the manual configuration I'm working with Incoming: IMAP, port 993, SSL/TLS, Normal password Outgoing: port 587, STARTTLS, Normal password

our team uses GoDaddy for email domains - not sure if that's relevant or not. other teammates have been able to set it up successfully. Same configuration, account and password.
