Thunderbird is running (apparently properly) on both my (old) HP laptop, and on my (new) Samsung laptop. But the Thunderbird address book on the Samsung only shows the email addresses associated with emails that have been sent or received since I installed Thunderbird on the Samsung. It does not include the rest of my address book. Similarly, it only contains the emails that have been sent or received since I installed Thunderbird on the Samsung. When I follow the instructions to open the (Thunderbird) profile folder, I get a message that says “C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\fbclykvb.default-esr is unavailable.”

With help from Currys (where I had bought the Samsung), we were able to copy the (ApsData) Thunderbird folder from the (old) HP laptop to the (new) Samsung) laptop. (They also ran something called mailmerge, but I didn’t follow the precise details.) I can now find the Thuderbird folder in the AppData/Roaming folder. In the Profiles, there are 2 subfolders, hw7ms2fs.default-release and w1a31rjn.default. w1a31rjn.default has only one file – times.json hw7ms2fs.default-release has lots of subfolders and files, but no file named fbclykvb.default-esr. Thunderbird is still working properly on the Samsung, but I still can not access my larger address book, or emails that were receive or sent by Thunderbird on the HP. How do I fix it? The people at Currys tried to help, but they don’t know much about Thunderbird, and said I needed to get support from Mozilla.

For some reason (accidental key stroke?) one of my email account's folders are no longer arranged alphanumerically. How can I reset the order to alphanumerical? I can't find a menu item or setting to do this. Thanks

Yesterday I upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to 11. Today I discovered my Local Folders are not visible. Searching tells me the messages still exist, but TB does not show the folders. I did the same upgrade a month ago on a laptop (Windows 10 Pro to 11), no problems. I didn't externally back up the messages as I am a dinosaur and don't know how, but at least they are still on the hard drive. Thousands of them though so I need the local folders back. Tried all the fixes I can find on the Community Forum, without success. Can anyone help please? Bob

I am a M365 - leaver, and working several months now with Thunderbird/LibreOffice/Nextcloud. Sometimes I'm proud of what I learned and can do with the new software. Sometimes I'm a little lost in the woods.

I'm using the add-on Quicktext to insert default html text, like a template, in some of my my emails. One of the templates is a notification for my customers to inform them the invoice they received from me is not yet paid.

In the former software I was used to click in my template on a datepicker to insert the senddate of the invoice. I tried to insert a html-datepicker. This appears in the email, but is send to the reciever as a datepciker, not as the date I choose.

My question. Is there a way to insert a datepicker in a template like Quicktext, or is there a better add-on for this goal?

When an email that is received from a sender that has previously been marked as spam then Thunderbird activates the "beep" notification. When I tab to Thunderbird to see the email by then it has already been moved by Thunderbird to the Junk folder. This is quite frustrating as it unnecessarily interrupts workflow just to see that it was junk.

I would like it not to notify on messages that go to the Junk folder. Is there some way I can get this to work.

Recently Thunderbird was upgraded on my main PC, and suddenly the 'new mail' icon in top left was gone, I hav looked under various settings, and can't seem to get it visible.. I know that 'ctrl+n' is useable, my version here is 143.0.1 .. strange on my secondary PC Thunderbird version is 141.0 and there icon is still visible.

I am really really distraught right now. It took me two weeks to get the time and focus to write a long reply to a company's nice email to me. Stayed up till 2am to write it. Deliberately wanted to re-read it in the morning before sending. Gone. Nowhere to be found. I pressed "Save to draft" before closing my laptop. But not saved. This account actually has a "draft" folder, unlike most of my other accounts in Thunderbird, which I also cannot figure out and no one has helped me with.

When sending an email using the keyboard shortcut, the settings tell me that I can set TB to give me a confirmation prompt. Why can't I get a confirmation prompt when using the Send button? Is there any way to make TB do that?

I set TB to run a spell check before sending, and that gives me an opportunity to cancel the Send operation. But it only works if the email contains a misspelling.

Thank you.

My e-mails are sorted from earliest (top) to the latest (bottom). Suddenly about 15 messages have gone out of order. Early ones have appeared towards the bottom (later ones, have appeared under those). Is there an easy way of moving them so they are all sequential?

Thanks

I have several email accounts of all types (IMAP, POP, etc.) managed by a single Thunderbird instance (v140.3.1esr 64-bit) running on Windows 11 (latest update).

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the 'Trash' folder on one of my IMAP accounts lost the 'Empty Trash' context menu item. Email I deleted still went to the 'Trash' folder, but I needed to delete them manually. 'Trash' folders on other accounts continued to work as expected.

This afternoon, I noticed that the deleted mails were no longer going to the 'Trash' folder. Looking this up online, I found the following old topic from 2023: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1420657

However, the link cited within that post (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1156586) no longer seems to exist and the details cited there no longer seems to be applicable as the interface and other details provided are no longer representative of the product today.

The elements of the post that seem applicable is a potential corruption of the 'Smart Mailboxes'. If I look at <ProfilePath>/Mail/smart mailboxes, I have several files associated with folders that may or may not be associated with the 'Trash' folder of the email account suffering from this problem. Given the date stamps, I'm not sure what they represent or even if they are involved in the currently running product.

Do note that I have been using this client for more going on 20 years.

Can you please provide updated troubleshooting steps and help me understand how I can map the folders under 'Mail' to the appropriate accounts to be sure I am not disturbing account email that is functioning properly.

Thanks in advance for the help,

AJ

I've never blocked images from loading (and I did check my settings and they haven't changed) but now many of my emails now have all images blocked just showing empty squares where the images should be. What happened?

When trying to add my outlook.com email account to Thunderbird 143.0.1, using the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-exchange, I get an "Exchange auth error." I'm able to add the account manually using imap, but I want to use Exchange so I can access my outlook.com calendar and contact when TB is updated to include them.
