Thunderbird Community Forum

Having tried this and that (see previous email) I finally got it working by deleting the account XXXXX.XXXXX@lineone.net and then re-creating it. Beside re-specifying the email address and password (exactly as they were before) all the defaults were accepted. So the long and short is that I really don't have the foggiest on what Thunderbird had got hung up on but at least it is working now (for a while..??). Regards, Roger

Is there a way to sort Favorite folders? I've tried dragging them to a new order with horrible consequences. Instead of changing the order, the actual folder was moved to a sub-folder position within the actual folder I was trying to move to the position beneath it.

In other words, if I have Favorite folders: A, B, C, E, F, D and I want to move Folder D to the position after C and before E, dragging D to C will cause the physical location of the Folder D to be moved to a sub-folder position of Folder C in the email account.

If you then move it back to it's correct position AND folder D had sub-folders as well, you will then get the error message for any of Folder D's sub-folders: Unable to open the summary file for FOLDER D's SUBFOLDER NAME. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long.

BTW: is there a way to fix that error as well?

I have no idea why, but TB is wonking out lately with strange errors?

The folder '[Gmail]/Sent Mail on me@mydomain.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I have a ton of space and have not changed anything on the PC?

Any ideas?

I accidentally dropped my "Bulk" folder in the "Trash" folder. When I tried to remove the folder, it refused to move!

1. I tried ctrl + Z to undo the last action - failed
2. I tried dragging and dropping - failed
3. I tried right-clicking and choosing move - no such option - failed

I tried closing the program, reopening, and repeating steps 1-3 - failed I tried rebooting the computer and repeated steps 1-3 - failed

How can I move the folder back?

Desperately in need of assistance. Been using Outlook for decades, but continual issues have forced me to move to another option. Been using Bluemail on my phone, but saw that Thunderbird supposedly functions more like Outlook without being the pain that is Outlook.

So, I was managing 6 different email accounts in Outlook and all were POP3, because I get a lot of client emails and need to store them for legal reasons. I end up with way too much data to keep out on IMAP servers.

Anyway, I installed Thunderbird and setup my personal business email on it as POP3 and that seems to be fine, but I need to also import my PST/OST backup of that account into Thunderbird so that I have access to all of the saved emails/calendar. I see places that tell me it can be done directly in Thunderbird and others that tell me I need a 3rd party app. Does Thunderbird not include an import or conversion option that will let me do it?

If I can get this to work, I will then need to do it for the other 5 accounts, and unfortunately soon, as some of my accounts are nearing their max storage size in IMAP while I try to solve this.

Thanks very much to anyone who can quickly and accurately assist me.

After I reinstalled Windows and reinstalled Thunderbird, task reminders no longer work. I create tasks using the New Task button on the Tasks tab with a due date and time in the New Tasks dialog. This used to result in a Reminders window popping up at the scheduled date and time. Now, however, nothing happens. As far as I can tell, all the settings on the new install of Thunderbird are the same as I had before. The screenshot shows what I used to get, and what I would like to get again.

Is some setting required to get a Reminders window?
