I have been given an email account as a board member of a local non-profit organization. I have tried but cannot get it to work in Thunderbird. It does, however, work on my Apple devices (iPad, iPhone & Watch). I'm missing important correspondence by not being able to get on my desktop. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am using TBird v115.10.1 and I need to be able to EXPORT my contacts to an Excel .CSV file. My version of TBird does not offer any customisation of the Export function.

Thunderbird 125.0 (64 bit)

I am moving Thunderbird to a new PC, old was Win 10, new is Win 11. I installed Thunderbird on the new one, same version 115.10.2 though this is now 64 bit, old was 32 bit. I followed the instructions to move the profile by copying the Thunderbird folder onto aUSB stick then copying it to the new computer. The address book is there, but the local folders I had are not. Looking inFile explorer, I see that the Local Folders folder is there which contains all the folders I had, all populated, but there is also a Local Folders-1 there which does not, and this is the one Thunderbird is using. If I delete this folder, next time I start Thunderbird, it creates this folder again. I have obviously done something wrong, but cannot see what it is.

Using a watch face on my Galaxy Watch 6 (MD332 from Play store) that has a MAIL complication that is not updating correctly. Using K-9 Mail on my phone with GMail and Outlook accounts. Anyone have any ideas how I can get the MAIL complication to sync correctly with phone?

Is Thunderbird ever going to fix the 'custom colours'? After the last major update, TB would not longer hold any custom colours. This is problematic because the colours offered are either too light or too dark to be read easily.

Been using Thunderbird/Lightning for many years. In the latest update (115.10.1 (64 bit)), the EDIT button is not initially visible when I click on an event in my Calendar. In past releases, this edit button has always been visible in the pop-up window when I try to edit info in a New Event task. This happens SOME of the time, but not all. Any idea what changed, and is it possible to check out the code and change it back so when I double-click on an event, I see the edit button. At this time (not a big deal, but slows me down), when I go to edit an event, I have to move to a different monitor, resize the pop-up window so I can see the EDIT button, then finally click on it to edit the Event. In the past, the cursor immediately went to the EDIT button. Any info on changing this back the old way would be appreciated.

I run message filters to file messages from Inbox in specific folders. However for some of my filters that copy or move a message to a folder in Local Folders the body of the message disappears, leaving only the message header. Other filters set up in the same way work fine. The filters are usually on the sender's e-mail address. Any ideas for a fix?

In the image mu mailbox shows the number of unread messages 234, the total number of message 1003 and the storage used 77.9 MB. I set tese options using a little button and then foolishly clicked another little button that hid the option to choose what to display. I am unable to turn that second button on again and so cannot comntrol the display of inbox usage. How do I turn that button back on? Thanks for any help.

In the previous version, there was a search box on the toolbar. After the upgrade, it disappeared. How can I restore it?

I tried to customize toolbar but there is no search box in the window of available controls.

My Thunderbird 115.10.2 (64 bit) is lately running very slowly. Message content takes forever to show. Sometimes don't show at all. Sent messages take 20s to save.

I was thinking that my files were simply too large, so I erase everything before 2022-01-01. Where we are now:

  Inbox            13,662 messages 3.0 gb
  All Mail         22,722 messages 5.8 gb
  Sent mail       5,175 messages  1.2 gb
  Important    13,093 messages  3.1 gb
  Other             4,700 messages (approx)

Questions: 1. Can I delete the "Important" messages, thereby perhaps freeing up 3.1 gb? In which case how do I do that?

2. Does this look like too many messages for TB? It's two and a half years worth. Like to keep it, but not at the expense of making the system so slow.

I have removed the databases twice and started with a new instance of TB, which is where we are now.

Thanks for any suggestions!

I renamed a folder and now the folder is not showing. As the folders contains few emails and I want to those back, tried restarting the thunderbird many times. Let me know if faced the same before and found a solution for it.
