Thunderbird Community Forum

I have been using Thunderbird for many, many years now and been happy with it.

However last 6 months or so, it has been constantly crashing, often several times a day. Crash reports almost never get sent as it says there is a technical error.

Using a HP Spectre 360 (7 years old) with Windows 10. All windows updates have been applied, and constantly virus checked etc. No other programs giving me grief like Thunderbird which is the most important program. Before Thunderbird I used Eudora which was also great. Always regretted changing to Thunderbird.

I am now over it and Thunderbird. How do I transfer all my emails, attachments etc going back 10-12 years or so to a new email program.

Any suggestions regarding a better email client. Don't want to use Outlook. Have been looking at Proton Mail.

The crashes are happening daily, and lately more than once a day. I'm using Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bit) on a desktop PC running Xubuntu 24.04.1 LTS. There are about a dozen accounts that get mail automatically from POP servers. The crashes happen when TB is running in the background, or on another dessktop, or minimized. I'm using a new profile created a few weeks ago because the old profile folder had grown very large. This problem did not occur with the old profile.

Here are the most recent crash report IDs: bp-ee9dfb2e-52e0-40b1-a26e-1de2a0250122 46 minutes ago bp-89c99656-b58a-47fc-a2be-c40c50250121 8 hours ago bp-90c851b2-981f-4e3c-b8f3-96ecd0250121 1 day ago bp-1dd4e625-0aa7-4c8e-9ab4-2cdfa0250120 2 days ago
