Hello,

Moving from an older Ubuntu 18.04 machine where Thunderbird is limited to version 102 to a newer machine running Mint 22 where the current version is 128.6

According to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/upgrading-older-version-thunderbird This should work without issue but the latest version mentioned in the article was 115.

Any change since the article was written? Do I need to install older versions to handle the migration to the latest?

Alternately would using the Export / import tools be better for this task than transferring the profiles?

Thank you

I just downloaded Thunderbird 2 days ago and hoping it can do a specific feature before cancelling my Microsoft 365 subscription. I would hope there is a way to be able to access my local explorer file folders in Thunderbird like i can in Microsoft Outlook. The image attached is displaying move an email to a local folder where you scroll to find the local folder you want to move the email.

Just installed Thunderbird and can receive emails but not send them. Error message says the message could not be sent because connection to outgoing server SMTP mail.twc.com timed out.

My settings seem correct and I can send and receive emails through the companies website but not with Thunderbird. Thanks

Hi, I have configured successfully an email using the user SMTP server from the host i.e. hostinger.com

Now I want to add a third party SMTP server like Sendgrid. Is it possible? If yes, can you refer me to some reference material I can refer to, to do the installation?

Even it is okay, if I need configure only Sendgrid SMTP from the outset, that is also okay.

New to TB...

I know this setting pertains to auto-deleting messages, but is there a similar setting for manual deletions?

Let's say I highlight all old messages dated in 2023--450 messages for example--then I press the Delete key....if there are any starred messages in that group I'd like for them to either not be deleted or to get an additional warning like "Messages for deletion includes starred messages...delete anyway? Yes/No"

I'm guessing there's no such warning, but thought I'd ask....thanks.

Hello, I don't know where the mistake is, but it has already happened to me twice that I put "tags" on my emails throughout the year and it just deleted them. After turning it on, I no longer had those "tags" for emails. I put tags for orders with a large number so that I can sort them right away, and when I delete them, it's a lot of work to sort those orders. Can you tell me where the error is?

Thunderbird had never crashed before, but lately, after the last 2 Windows 10 updates within the last 2 weeks, it crashes. It's at 128.5.2esr, the next-to-last update.

It always crashes when I choose "About" and it starts downloading the update. It appears that it doesn't get the 1st byte before crashing. It will still say 0 bytes when it crashes.

It also crashes if I leave it running and the screen goes through the screen saver mode and turns black. Twice it crashed while I was using it.

I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I had 4,000 emails in my Inbox (is there a limit?), so I deleted many and moved many to folders. I now have just under 1,000 in my Inbox.

I also tried restarting in Troubleshoot Mode and updating, but it still crashed at 0 bytes downloaded.

Is there a way to manually download the update and apply it? I can't find it on the website.

The next thing I know to do is reinstall. Is there anything I can try before doing that? Would you suggest uninstall first or reinstall over what's here?

This has been going on for many builds now, for Thunderbird Nightly versions 136 and 137 and now Beta version 136.

The notification sound will play if the program is fully open but not if it's minimized.

Really annoying. It worked as it should in previous build versions....

Hi. I renamed a folder and stupidly used a special character (I think that's what caused the problem). The folder is now empty. Seeing an old reply on the forum, I looked in the file list and see that the data seems to still be there but I don't know how to get it back. I've added an image of the directory. It was called .HOLD and I changed it to .Check Here -> HOLD. I changed it back to .HOLD to see if that would help but it didn't. I closed and restarted Thunderbird and that didn't help either.

Thank you for any help.

I use an adblocker that keeps YouTube from displaying advertisements before displaying a video. It works fine. However, when a friend sends me an email with a link to a YouTube video the video always begins with an advertisement when I click on the link. If I copy the link as text and paste it into my browser (Firefox) the ad doesn't appear when I start watching the video.

I'd like to be able to avoid watching the ads. Is there something I can set in Thunderbird to allow the adblocker to work before YouTube starts to display a video?
