Buonasera, stamattina non funzionando le mail in arrivo in Thundebird, ho riparato la cartella a seguito di un messaggio arrivato dal vostro portale dove mi diceva: spazio archiviazione terminato. Effettuata la procedura i messaggi in entrata hanno iniziato a funzionare regolarmente ma mi sono accorto che tutte le mail nella cartella posta in arrivo erano prive di testo. Cosa può esser successo e se è possibile ripristinare, grazie mille per un vostra risposta. Vi lascio in allegato un'immagine come campione. Cordiali saluti, Gianfranco

Hello I noticed that I still use thunderbird 32bit, if I download and install over it thunderbird 64bit will it keep everything from the 32bit version? (accounts, offline folders etc)

Hi!

I often send an email to 140 recipients via SMTP. Until recently it took 2-3 seconds. Now it takes about 2 minutes. My web-hosting company Simply.com is very insistent that their server is not the problem. I use TB 91.7.0 (64-bit) on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS. I am not sure whether TB updated itself when the problem started. Any help would be appreciated.

I've checked other replies to this question but I seem to be having difficulty. My Mac is running 11.6.5 of the OS and version 91.8.1 (64-bit) of Thunderbird. I located the Thunderbird folder on the Mac and copied over my network onto the PC (Downloads folder to start with). The PC is running version 10.0.19043.1645.

I've then gone into C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming and copied and pasted the Thunderbird folder from Downloads into there. Everything transfers successfully. I've gone into C:\Users\Martin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\n8bomz85.default and deleted the pkcs11.txt file as posted elsewhere

When I open Thunderbird (91.8.1 on Windows) I'm prompted to setup a new email account. From what I've read, opening up should take me straight into my mail that is currently sitting on my Mac. I'm clearly doing something wrong - can anyone help please?

Whenever I configure in Thunderbird, OAuh2.0 with google, I get the pop up with prefilled account name as soon as starting up or synchronizing, but as soon as I click anything or type anything in the google box, the prefilled name disappears.

Refilling it does not work either, the page / box, just reloads and the (pre)filled name is gone. Logging in at the same time in a web-browser and staying logged in, does not work either. Switching on or off my VPN does not work either, (this has caused major problems in the past, to access my accounts anyway).

Only using "normal password" and the setting "allow unsecured apps" in Google, works as work around However Google is ending the support for this option in a month or so.

I have seen multiple (old) posts about this, but not found the one where my issue of a reloading page without prefilled name occurs..

Please advice, yeah stop using google hehe, no but seriously... wtf.

Win10 Thunderbird 91.8.1 64 bits

Thank you Stan and David for your replies which were helpful but unfortunately I didn't express myself clearly enough for which I apologise.

My USB Thunderbird back-up is from a LENOVO Laptop. The Thunderbird version is 91.2.1 (32 bit) running on Windows 10.

I have new DELL Inspiron with Thunderbird 91.8.1 (64 bit) running on Windows 11. I have successfully found in Mail -

• Local Folders which contains .msf Filter Rules DAT folders for Trash (File), Trash.msf (MSF File), Unsent Messages (File), Unsent Messages.msf (MSF File)
• pop3.iprimus.com.au folders for Drafts, Drafts.msf, Inbox,

Inbox.msf,
.msg FilterRules,
.popstate

Sent Sent.msf Trash Trash.msf

In the LENOVO back-up Thunderbird there are no matching like named folders or files to input into the DELL. nor are there any storage files with the extensions (mbox) or (sbd) folders.

SEPARATELY when I initially setup the new DELL I put the back-up USB is port and Thunderbird initial set-up provided a command to load data from that drive which worked ! In that case I selected the top option IMA ?which stored data on the cloud based server ? not the POP option.

What led to this major issue was a need by DELL to delete and repartition the SSD to resolve a problem which I discovered with AVAST and resolved. It was one of these parties that suggested that Thunderbird would automatic convert the old files and set-up appropriately. In all there were 6 individuals involved in at least 2 countries. I have spent countless hours on this new DELL PC with Windows 11. My time is quite stretched hence my delay in responding to your good responses.

Hopefully there's some additional info here which will help resolve the problem of retaining all msgs, folders and addresses.

Thanks again for your time in considering my problem and providing possible solutions.

I set up a new Dell 5510 Inspiron with the latest version of Thunderbird which runs well in Windows 11 environment. Previously when I set up a new PC I followed instructions which created a backup from the superceded Windows 10 Laptop on to a USB file Mozilla Thunderbird. I installed Thunderbird and compared the files and discovered 1 file which had no data in it and copied that data directly into that file and it worked perfectly - bringing across everything contacts, folders etc.

On the new DELL I followed the setup prompts and had no success - I activated the top box to store data, not on cloud but to retain on server. I uninstalled and tried again this time activating the box under the top one to store most historic data on Laptop - again no success. - comparing data was fruitless as there was no file with 0 data

It has been suggested that (with Thunderbird closed, I just copy the Back-up USB Folder "Mozilla Thunderbird" from the Window 10 Laptop over the "Mozilla Thunderbird" in Apps under Settings in Windows 11 and magically all (Contacts and email history in folders ) is supposed to happen. Reason is that the new Thunderbird App does all the conversion and set-up.

reluctant to do this as it's taken 2 weeks to reach this point and I don't wish to over-write those Thunderbird that have been received in that time.

Your advice would be appreciated. I the process as it has been suggested above OR is there another process to be followed ?

Thanking you in anticpation of your time to digest the above and respond accordingly.

I have before could used microsoft outlook e-mail in thunderbird but not anymore? There is in yellow box something about server and does not accept?

Could it be because sometime ago i added two-step log-in to outlook?

I have then used browser e-mail or microsoft windows e-mail but would like to get it back to thunderbird?

I have setup my business office mail address with the owl extension. When I try to send an e-mail a error message pops up that Thunderbird couldn't put a copy into the sent folder. So I wanted to place the copy only in the local sent folder, but the settings is grayed out and I can't change anything.

When I look at my personal microsoft mail with @outlook.de I can change everything and the setting is picked correctly out of the box

I have received this from Google and wondering if you are aware of it and plan to make Thunderbird compliant?

Hello, I've just set up Thunderbird on my IMac OS Monterey version 12.2.1 and have synchronized my gmail account. However not all folders have migrated. What is causing this and how can I fix it? Thanks!

One of our Emeriti Professors using Thunderbird of a Mac can use the space bar when typing text. The space bar deletes text.

Is there an over write mode in Thunderbird for Mac? If so, how is it turned off.

typing works correctly in word and other programs. Thanks!

Suddenly .... Folders show that they contain messages but the message list window is empty. If I '"repair folder", the list of messages is restored. But i have to go through that painful process for each folder, and i have many accounts and folders. And if Tbird is closed and reopened, the problem still exists - even 'repaired' folders do not display their messages.

Version 91.8.1, Win 10
