Thunderbird Community Forum

I recently had a hardware crash on my fedora machine and transferred my thunderbird backup to my mac. I have a new fedora machine and want to transfer my thunderbird profile from the mac to the fedora machine. The problem is that Fedora is currently at version 128.12.0 and the mac is currently at version 141.0.

In response to a previous question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1513367 I got a suggestion (which I have not been able to make work). 'if you Exit Thunderbird and access profile name folder, then delete the 'compatibility.ini' file, you should be able to use the profile on an older version.'

Here is the revelant directories on the mac

``` bradbell>ls Library/Thunderbird/Profiles y0mvyr8l.default

bradbell>cat Library/Thunderbird/profiles.ini [General] StartWithLastProfile=1

[Profile0] Name=default IsRelative=1 Path=Profiles/y0mvyr8l.default

bradbell>ls Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/y0mvyr8l.default/ | grep compatibility compatibility.ini ```

I think I should put y0mvyr8l.default in $HOME/.thunderbird but I am not sure what should I change ?

Great, so I fix one problem, only to be confronted with a shiny brand NEW problem.

Version 141.0

Fixed the "T-bird lockup" when composing emails, so that's no longer an issue - - YAY.

Now, Tbird refuses to save drafts. I had it set to every minute while I was having issues with lockups; now, I'm seeing a "can't save draft' popup every minute. I mean really... I haven't changed ONE thing in the machine other than changing that "0" to a "1" in "about:settings." Is there something about that particular fix that could cause this "save no drafts" issue?

Don't have a clue where to even begin, since it cites either network issues OR file-access issues, and I fail to see why either would suddenly be an issue where it wasn't prior to fixing the lockups.

Anyone have any pointers where to start looking? I keep seeing reference to Tbird "logs," but have no idea where to find those. Seems a reasonable place to start (after all, it's the first thing I look at when my 3D printer goes nuts!)

I can only see mails from the last 14 days, and settings are on "syncronize all mails" - what to do? chat gpt suggest that I syncronize from the last year and press OK but there is no OK button. /Anders

The tool bar across the top is gone. Can that be fixed. In it absence, I realize that I used those tools often. Please help. I am John Griffith at email: griffith@reagan.com

I receive emails sent to plus addresses. eg user+text@gmail.com . In my address book, I have an entry that has a display name for the email user+text@gmail.com , but it is not displayed in the email view. Other emails that are not plus addresses do correctly get the display name and display it.

I have tried switching the setting for display names, but it does not matter how it is set. It does not display the display name.

Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account undefined juls.timeprinting@gmail.com This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to: More info Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail Click for more information By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can change this and other Account Permissions at any time. I keep getting this message a dozen times a day for both my emails. How do I stop it???

I was sending my daughter some pictures, I now I can not find a way to send another email to her with the photo attached. Also I can not find a Help button for general questions??

Can I revert to the old software while this is sorted out????

I thought Thunderbird once linked to my yahoo account would save all my emails so I could delete them from Yahoo. I did a test email sent through Yahoo and it shows up in Thunderbird. Then I deleted the email from Yahoo but later I see it is also deleted from Thunderbird.

Hmm? Is there a setting to keep Thunderbird from deleting. Otherwise am I really just archiving all the email into some unusable format on my hard drive?

Thanks.

Bonjour, je suis trésorier d'une Association qui compte aujourd'hui 146 Adhérents. Lorsque j'envoie un courriel à tous (mails liste), les derniers enregistré me reviennent en erreur. Il y a t'il une limite d'envoi groupé, et quelle est elle? Comment y remédier ? Merci pour vos réponses

How do you export your passwords from Firefox into Thunderbird, or get Thunderbird to import them? If Thunderbird can actually save all the passwords, there must be a way to do it. I tried various wording in asking the site for answers, but received zero hits on this particular subject. Thank you for any assistance in this matter.
