Thunderbird Community Forum

The folders and address lists exist in .thunderbird/5sdfwbvt.default /Mail/Local Folders

and in  .thunderbird/5sdfwbvt.default/storage/abook/mab  and abook/sqlite

How can I get thunderbird to access these resources??

I am having a problem transferring my att secure mail keys into thunderbird. I created a test meaasge from my mail account to another email. The popup box asked for my outbound server and I entered the secure mail key and it was rejected. How do I transfer my secure mail key into saved passwords in thunderbird?

When my Thunderbird was hanging, I decided to reload the program. All my previous emails and addresses were gone. When I tried to input an earlier profile, I received an error message. The error console did not explain the problem. My lost emails are somewhere resident on my hard drive, but I don't know how to get to them.

I'm trying to download Thunderbird, but am having a problem. Every time I click the download button, I'mm being taken to a donation page. I gave a donation, but still have not been able to download the software. Am i doing something wrong?

Thunderbird updated last night to 128, and now all I get for messages is a blank screen. Changing the theme doesn't help. Messages are downloading correctly -- I just can't see them. Help!

When I download Thunderbird I get "Thunderbird Setup 128.1.1esr." If I click on that it says extracting but doesnt show where its extracting to. If I right click and extract from there I get a setup file but when I click on that to setup I get a message "Sorry Thunderbird cant be installed. This version of Thunderbird requires Microsoft Windows 10 x 64 or higher.." I have Windows 10 x 64. This whole problem started when I couldnt save attachments and I read online a solution which was reinstalling Thunderbird. Any advice?

since upgrading to nebula TB is very slow to open messages and also very slow to delet messages -unless this can be fixed I'd like to go back to the previous version which I think is 115 - anyone know how to do this proerly without ruining things

Since the update of Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) it freezes every couple minutes on a profile with 3 email accounts. One - no longer used - has about 2300 emails and is kept to access old emails.

The second is my primary Gmail account with 4351 emails in Inbox and 2234 in Outbox. Inbox shows 1.2 gb and Outbox 911 mb. The freezing has caused very significant challenges with reading and sending emails due to the freezing. As it is my primary email it is extremely concerning. And I am in the middle of a couple huge projects so I am getting a lot of emails.

The third is minimal with 26 emails.

I know it is not the number of accounts in the profile as I have 4 other profiles with more accounts and none of them freeze at all. (I manage/monitor other websites and keep them all separate.)

Also as others have noted the Filter function is doing weird stuff and rarely works properly anymore.

Installing Thunderbird on a new Laptop fails: The e-mail address is correct, as is the password. The following message appears : Settings were found in the Mozilla IISP database. After clicking: Done, the error message appears: Login to the server failled. The configuration, user name or password may not be correct. According to my settings, however, evrything is correct. What can I do?

I added the repository ppa:mozillateam/ppa, but it installs the Thunderbird 115 instead of the latest 128. Is there any way to install Thunderbird 128 from a PPA? If not, will it be updated some day? Alternatively is there any deb version available of Thunderbird 128?

Thank you.

I'm installing Thunderbird on a new computer, now with Windows 11. I had exported my entire email set from the old computer. When importing on the new computer it pulled in all my old folders and the emails in them -- except for my inbox. A few emails were pulled in but another 800 were not. What can I do to import them?
