If you want to repair SQL backup files, then you can try the Sysinfo SQL Backup Recovery Tool. In this, you recover all the corrupt backup files of the SQL server. It repairs damaged SQL backup files. This tool can extract MDF and NDF files from the corrupt BAK file. It recovers every database object like tables, views, triggers, procedures, columns, functions, and other items from the corrupt files. Additionally, it includes several features like it offers multiple modes of scanning, a preview option, and no file size restriction. It is compatible with all the versions of Windows OS.

Direct after the update to 132.0 (linux,64-bit) thunderbird stopped downloading the body of my emails, only the message headers are downloaded. This appears on all accounts, (POP and IMAP). Another email client workes and everything there is fine so i am shure there is no failure at serverside. I tried also to delete all files on all servers (bad message problem) and reorganize "global-messages-db.sqlite". but all this does not solve the problem. Unfortunately it is not possible to move back to my old working installation and profile ( why dont you offer this?, would be nice in this situation ...)

Unable to open the summary file for [Gmail]/Sent Mail on myemail@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long.

I am plagued with this error message on various accounts. The folders have opened before and it exists on the Gmail website application.

The SSD is fine with plenty of available space. Over twice needed by the system.

The profile folder is 65GB. Can Thunderbird handle that much data storage?

Hi, I am working on behalf of my dad to figure out what's going on with his Thunderbird client and trying to understand if it's a client issue, or an issue with his email address.

The e-mail address used belongs to The Messaging Company (as they have bought out iiNet/AAPT). There are issues where my dad is logged out constantly and has to retype his password, and sometimes is unable to send or receive mail. I have updated server in-going and out-going according to The Messaging Company's suggestion. I've attached screenshots.

Let me know what else I can do to troubleshoot if this is Thunderbird client or issues with the email service.

I have been trying to stay on releases and was told to upgrade to 115.10.1. So I did that and was told to go to 115.18.0 and it was not noted as esr. So I did and was immediately told to go to 128.8.1 esr. I was not on the esr channel and do not want/need to be on esr. about:config has been changed to esr channel from release w/o my ok - the least I'd expect is a warning. Release 115.x.x has betas and releases more than I had seen previously - aboutr 25-26. It looks like nothing but betas from 116 to 128 and a lot of what look like releases from x.0 to x.10.2 which is new to me. What is the rational behind all these versions and why there is not a simple center of how to use this info? I remember when way back, tbird had issues but they were manageable.

I closed Thunderbird by the X in the upper corner and my Icon disappeared off the tool bar so I tried again and the Icon was no longer in the trash bin, so I re set up and none of my old emails/folders are there and it downloaded 338 emails off the web server. My address are all gone....HELP

As of yesterday my Thunderbird account vanished, screen asking to set up an account. I am too old to be an IT expert, and I need detailed step by step guidance how to restore that account, full of Inbox emails and folders/subfolders. If it matters (depending on requirements?), my address is @verizon.net - which is pop3 but I have no problem opening the same emails on different devices, as if it were imap (verizon taken over by aol). Pain in the neck, hope to get help.

I've had the same email for 25+ years and for at least the last 5 have been unable to send. Never been any problem receiving, only sending. I have to open a browser and go to cs.com or aol.com and log in if I need to send mail. ISP is wowway. I'm unaware of any firewall, and I use Ubuntu 20.04 so there is no anti-virus. I think when the problem first surfaced I was using Ubuntu 14.04 on my old system. I have a newer computer and have upgraded several times to get to 20.04 but the problem with sending has always been there. I would appreciate any help I can get.

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing the following issue and am having trouble resolving it.

・Normally, automatic reply emails should be received when there are inquiries from the website, but they are not displayed in Thunderbird. ・When I check the webmail on the mail server, I can see the emails, so they are definitely being delivered to the server. ・Occasionally, there have been delivery failures in the past, but since March 19th, not a single email has been received. ・As shown in the attached image, when I open Thunderbird, it displays "Downloading messages," and even when it reaches 60/60 downloads completed, the 60 emails are not displayed.

I suspect that the spam filter might be reacting, but I'm unsure of what to do. Could you please advise me?

Hi, I have office 2024 on a MacBook Air. When I try to share a document as an email attachment, word just “pings” and doesn’t work. Thunderbird is set as my default email reader.

If I change my email reader to apple mail, it works ok, however, I want Thunderbird for mail. I haven’t tried outlook, as I haven’t set up any email accounts in outlook, therefore pointless test.

Any thoughts ?

Hi there,

I wanted to sync my old email to Thunderbird so I have access to all my emails and the folders did not sync properly. How do I fix it so that I have access to all my emails and folders from my old email address.

Thanks, Ryean

I've tried the troubleshooting steps outlined in the FAQ but have not been able to send any email messages. This just started a few days ago and I've tried these things with no luck:

• Disable firewall
• Disable anti-virus
• Change SMTP settings
• Change email account PW

Windows 11 Norton 360 NordVPN

I don't know if this has any bearing on the issue, but at the same time as I began having trouble sending email, I attempted to install the UPS label printer software. It also looks like there was an update to my AV/Firewall software, but since I have disabled both, as well as disabling the VPN, and there's still no success, I'm ruling those out for now.

NOTE: I have no trouble sending or receiving email with my phone, so I tend to thinnk it's not the account settings. I've tried using the phone as a hotspot to send from my PC but that also was not successful.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I suddenly stopped getting email. I got messages from microsoft 365 about duplicate accounts. We messed around with that, got messages to go out but they still won't come in. I found the account settings, but I can't find the place in Thunderbird where you can change the incoming settings, just the outgoing settings. Can someone help?

I switched from Outlook but find that Thunderbird is somewhat different from the old program. The Outlook imports show up o.k. but in a seperate Outlook Imports folder, while above is my email address with similar foldlers; i.e. Junk/Trash/etc. I would like a Thunderbird tutorial if there is one available.

T-bird email account hatched. Changed PSWRD on Comcast. New Pswrd works at T-bird signon, but must use OLD on any outbound (send) emails. Also, can no longer backup the email.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Thank you.

Greg

PS Do not store pswrd

I'm looking for an email solution for my husband and Thunderbird looks promising. However I'd really appreciate input from this community regarding our specific scenario before I make a move. I have a programming background but I fumble blindly trying to be his email admin.

The problem we are trying to solve is his current email setup chokes on send/receive almost daily, after which he has to use Task Manager to kill a hanging Outlook.exe process. After years of tinkering I'm about to give up on Outlook completely. I think the main issue is how Outlook interacts with his Archive. His Archive.pst file is 4GB and Outlook saves it as one big file even though it has many subfolders which are essentially his filing system. Outlook is configured to save everything directly to a local laptop which is backed up regularly and we want to retain this local feature. Thunderbird is attractive because: 1. it supports the local drive storage 2. it appears to have options for transferring his Outlook archive and other folders over in such a way that he can continue to search and access them as needed. He would also like to be able to: 1. move new emails received in Thunderbird into the same (transferred) archive subfolders he has now 2. send and receive new emails without the program choking 3. view and send new emails from his Android phone (without accessing the archive) 4. transfer his email contacts from Outlook and manage them in Thunderbird Can anyone see red flags with this in Thunderbird? He does NOT use:

- Outlook Calendar (we synch our phone calendars to Google calendar online)
- Outlook Tasks

Technical Details (in case it matters):

- HP Pavilion 2021 laptop running Windows 10 with 1TB storage (200+ GB free) and 16GB RAM
- Likely to upgrade to a newer bigger laptop with Windows 11 this year
- Outlook is running from a Microsoft 365 subscription
- His actual email account is from gmail but is named per a domain name I purchased
- His Outlook account is setup using IMAP
- We use ESET for virus protection and NordVPN for WIFI security

Any comments or advice are greatly appreciated!
