The qr code displayed in the account transfer email from thunderbird is bigger than my pc screen. Snapping a picture with phone camera not possible. I employ visual accessibilities on pc as I am elderly and have tried to get emails to appear smaller. Cannot get entire qr image on screen.

I have saved relevant e mails to local folders in my Thunderbird account on my Applemac. I opened up Thunderbird on my MacBook and downloaded my Thunderbird account but it did not copy those local folders, merely 1 empty folder. Without these also shown in my Thunderbird account when I am away from home, I cannot see those records. I am struggling to find a solution. Are you able to help please? Alan Dowler

Seit einiger Zeit zeigen die Mails keine Bilder u.ä. an sondern ich muss immer erst auf einen Link - s.u. - klicken, um den Inhalt vollständig lesen zu können. Woran liegt das und wie lässt sich das ändern?

I wish to do a mass import of vcf cards, how? I have a list of VCF cards exported from Outlook that I can import one by one, is there not a way to do a mass import?

I’m on Thunderbird 148.0.1 (aarch64), and having an issue each time I go to my Sent folder. What happens is this. I try to select an email I just sent minutes ago, and Thunderbird scrolls down to almost the last sent email (in my case, as I keep everything, that email could be years old).

This is only on my M1 MacBook Pro, as on my 2018 Intel Mac Mini (both systems are running Sonoma 14.8.4 I can select any recent email in my Sent folder and the selection stays.

I have been using Thunderbird for ages now with no problem, but I suddenly realised that no recent emails were appearing from my Gmail account. I have tried everything suggested on line to resolve the problem, including uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, and deleting and re-entering my acccount details but neither the IMAP or SMTP servers will connect to Gmail. I have reset all of the server settings on Thunderbird, and have checked that Gmail is IMAP compliant (which, apparently, is is now automatically). I have spent hours trying to sort this out and am just at the point of abandoning Thunderbird completely, but I am loathe to do so if there is a solution. The latest error message i have received is "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" but I don't know what else I can check or change.

I have been very frustrated over the years working with tables in TB. I have now encountered a situation I can't solve.

I have a table already create in a draft message. I want to copy some of the cells from Excel into the cells of the email's table. But everything I've tried creates a new table with those copied cells. If I select the first cell of the target table, a table is create within that cell. At that point it is difficult to undo the paste or restore the table to the condition it was before the paste. If I copy tab and/or paragraph separated text it just pastes it into one cell.

Questions:

• How can I copy and paste several table items from one app to another?
• What are the ways to delete rows in a table that has had a table inserted into a cell?

An Undo will not remove the table or the 'missing' cells in the right column. Here is an example of the issue:

I had about 7 accounts in ThunderBird already setup and working. Now when I try to setup another account, it goes through until the screen that wants me to click to Allow ThuderBird to get information from Google. This screen comes as fullscreen with no scrolling bars. And there is no icon that I can click on the screen to Allow information sharing. I am stuck here and cannot add any more accounts to Thunderbird.

I would like to create sending lists (to send the same message to several persons at the same time). That was possible before, but I can't see how to do in the latest version. I have recently bought a new computor.

In trying to launch Thunderbird, I am now for the first time being asked for my primary Thunderbird password. I do not remember setting this up and I have no record of this. How do I reset this password so that I can open thunderbird? I have been using Thunderbird for several years now and have never previously been asked for a primary password.

Hi, I will just open with a notice to Mozilla - I would happily donate to your work IF..... There are a number of irritating features I encounter using Thunderbird but one of the most infuriating is that when updating, any message tabs that were previously open disappear - when surely it must be possible to locate these in a straightforward data file somewhere - ready to populate automatically or even manually would be appreciated? At least, Firefox, after a bit of searching does keep a list of history..... but who wants to open ALL tabs in any period of history regardless of whether they were open when the update occurred.

Colours of anything and everything could be varied to speed up and simplify use? Server settings are all over the place... taking longer to enter/locate and edit than they ever should..... seeing a list of every setting inside a postage-stamp box without being able to even see much of it - after all these years surely you can over-rule Microsoft? Avoid kowtowing to monopolies!

I must get on with proper work so will stop moaning now... but my first line stands - get things professional and smoother with greatly increased options and I'll (probably like many others) be keen to give financial support!

Warmest wishes, Tom

I've been trying to move my Thunderbird data (148.0) from a Win10 to a Win11 machine. I've meticulously followed both the methods outlined at http://mzl.la/1ApHiU3. I have copied my original profiles.ini from the ...AppData\Roaming folder to that location on the new machine, then corrected the drive locations in the file (see attached profiles.ini image). (yes, the correct "j4sqsccb.XXXXXXX" folder is copied to the new installation's root: a bulky several-GB)

In order to try to replicate my original computer's admittedly-awkward installation from long ago, I have added the suffix " -p -no-remote" to the desktop icon's Target field. And on startup, the new T-bird does properly show my original profiles in the Select panel - even though I only ever used the one that functioned correctly, identified as 1 in the profiles.ini file (see Choose User Profile image, IDs X'ed-out).

However, on selecting that profile on the Win11 machine, Thunderbird just takes me to the account setup screen, as if it's unable to locate or load the account settings for that profile.

I'm only doing this clunky method of copying-over out of ignorance; I'd be very happy to simplify the mess I'd created decades ago with my original installation. OR if you think I'm better off wiping all evidence of past installations to start from a clean install, I'll be happy to do that. Please let me know if you need additional info I've failed to provide here!

Also adding images of my ...Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles folder and Installs.ini file, just in case!

Bonjour a tous, SVP Aidez moi, je ne peux plus utiliser Thundrtbird, je n'arrive pas à comprendre ce que je peux ou dois faire, suis un novice, l'informatique et moi ne sommes pas des amis. Mais j'ai utilisé Thunderbir depuis quelques années. Mais la, j'ai pour raisons personnelles ai du effacer et réinstaller l'application. Je ne sais pas ce qui s'est passé, mais plus rien ne fonctionne. A chaque fois que je fais une tentative j'ai toujours ce message d'erreur: "Connexion au serveur impossible. La configuration, l'identifiant ou le mot de passe sont probablement incorrects" . J'attends avec impatience votre aide. Je vous remercie tous

How can I change my email password in Thunderbird ??? - my account password has been deleted in Thunderbird and I wish to re-enter a new password. Please reply to [edited email from community support forum] @gmail.com

There is a folder in my Downloads folder ('~/Downloads') called 'thunderbird.tmp' Whenever I delete it it reappears whenever I open Thunderbird. How do I relocate this because I like to keep my Downloads folder neat? I have not found an option for this anywhere in settings on the app.
