Thunderbird Community Forum

I downloaded Thunderbird into a new computer and there are a lot less emails than on the old computer. I cannot find a setting to download the rest of the emails. Can you please help. Please send me an email telling me if I can download the rest of them.

I am trying to upgrade from ESR to Release. I saved my profile successfully, went to the install page and clicked Download. Got a request to donate, which I did. Then I got a page saying Thank you, Finish installing and enjoy Thunderbird. But there is no way to finish installing and I never got a download file. I've tried multiple times, nothing happens. Help!

I have several email accounts that don't work well for me. Since Firefox has been my primary browser for over twenty years, I turned to Mozilla. I like your company's open source method and people-based philosophy. So I signed up for Thunderbird just now from your website. But I am not all that tech - savvy (I'm a baby boomer who started using personal computers at age 34 in 1984, and internet in 1990.) I'm 76 years old.

Is there someone who could walk me through setting up my new Thunderbird email account, and then moving my emails and address book from my current email server on Rackspace? And also disconnecting Apple Mail as my default outgoing mailbox, and set up my new Thunderbird account in its place?

I'm willing to pay for some help!

My old desktop PC video & audio died, so I installed the C drive into a new desktop PC as the 'F' drive. How can I copy my previous TBird email & addresses from the F drive to the new TBird location on the C drive? btw - I'm surprised that the fix for this common occurence isn't already in the on-line troubleshooting info.

Samsung Galaxy J3 Prime Model M J327W Android 7.0 Import VCF results in “Failed to import Vcard” notification

Thunderbird 52.9.1 (32-bit) Windows 10 Pro 64 bit Exported vcf contact files not imported by phone.

My previous emails were all in Local Folders, including many sub-folders that I've created.

Today I've migrated all our company email to Google Suites.

I had to create a new account on Thunderbird.

I would like to change my Local Folders so that it uses the new email settings, so I can stay within Local Folders. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Had to reinstall Windows 10 after a crash. Then had to reinstall Thunderbird. I had been archiving my saved emails in the Local Folders within Thunderbird, but those contents are no longer accessible after the reinstallation. I would like to recover those saved emails. I would appreciate help.

I am using Thunderbird on my WIN10 PC now, but I have close to 20 years worth of data on Eudora on an old PC (XP); I have converted data from Eudora to Thunderbird on the old PC, but I need to be able to append it into the current version on the new PC, without overwriting the current files and erasing the newer emails.

Can it be done?

Would like to transfer the stored mails (in local folders) from old laptop win7 hard drive to new win10 laptop: where can they be found? Can I add that folder to a cloud so that on both my old ALSOOK on my new laptop that folder remains synchronized and so my permanently stored mails are automatically added to both laptops

Hello, Experts!

I would like to switch from using Outlook for Mac 2011. I don't want to upgrade to the 2016 version since I've read about some issues. I have several email folders for my clients. Most off them do NOT have attachments. I usually detach most attachments and place them in folders on my Mac.

Would you please tell me how to Import all of my emails, contacts and calendars from Outlook for Mac 2011 to Thunderbird? Is it possible to import one identity?

Thank you for any help you can offer!

I followed directions for using the add-on ImportExport Tools. When I get to the point of importing from the folder with all the contacts in .vcf format, the usual ways in Windows of selecting more than one (such as Ctrl-A for selecting all of them) don't work. (If I go to the file itself in Windows, I can easily select all of them at once.) But I can only select one at a time using the tools to import into the Thunderbird Address Book, which would be very tedious with 350 contacts! Thank you for any help!

I just got a new company email. I *believe* it's an Exchange server (don't know if that matters).

I can receive and send messages in Thunderbird, and the Inboxes match on TBIrd and Outlook Web Access. BUT, messages I've sent through OWA aren't in my TBird Sent Items, and vice versa. Likewise, folders I created in TBird didn't sync.

The setup looks the same as what I have for GMail on TBird, which syncs all those items flawlessly. Is there something I need to look for?

I have installed Thunderbird 52.9.1. The good news is that Thunderbird seems to have automatically imported the account settings for my 4 existing email accounts. I dodn't know if it got them from my WLM user data or from an export I did of my WLM accounts some time ago in case something went wrong.

I was using Windows Live Mail 2012

However, I have not been able to import my emails. Elsewhere on this forum I have read about a Thunderbird add-on named ImportExport tools, but when I followed the link to https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ I tried to download it and got a message that it appears to be corrupted. Since this appears to be the only way to import my WLM emails, I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Just updated.

http://www.mozilla.org/en-GB/thunderbird/features says "Under the Help Menu, you can find the Migration Assistant to help you set up Thunderbird the way you want it. If you liked the old toolbar from Thunderbird 2, you can quickly make that change with the Migration Assistant." Migration Assistant isn't listed under Help.

Using v24.6.0.

I am switching from Mac Mail to Thunderbird as my main email handler. I prefer to keep and use my Mac Contacts which Thunderbird seems to import with no problems. However when there are multiple email addresses associated with a contact, I cannot select which one should be used when I use a group as a distribution list.

It is important that I continue to use Mac's addressbook as I use it with other applications such as Messages.

The TB Solutions only provide information for a tar "bz2" file. I downloaded a "xz" file (thunderbird-140.0.tar.xz), how do I install this?

Thanks for any help or solution.

I wish to update my current version of 128.12.0esr within my Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS OS.
