Hi, I had an issue where folders were suddenly not sorted in alphabetical order. This seems to have been fixed with the latest release at parent level, but all sub folders are not sorted in alphabetical order. The "Reset folder order" is only available when you right click the main account and not any sub folders

Guten Tag,

ich nutze Thunderbird (140.6 64Bit).

Bei jedem Start von Thunderbird, soll ich ein Passwort für ein Konto "caldav" eingeben (siehe Bild Passwort), das Konto existiert aber nicht (siehe Bild Konten)!

Hat jemand eine Idee?

MfG

Hi I had a systems crash and did a windows 10 reinstall. Windows created a folder windows.old. In the folder is users/"username"/appdata/local and roaming/thunderbird/profiles/ In the profiles folder for example I have a profile 34eu8280.2020. I transfered this folder to the newly installed thunderbird folder under roaming/thunderbird/profiles/ Next windows+r entered thunderbird-p. Create profile, entered 2020 as profile name, chose folder, entered 34u8280.2020, select folder, finish. In profile manager selected 2020, work offline, unchecked use selected profile without asking at startup, start thunderbird. Profile not showing up only account setup page.

At a lost as to how to proceed.

Any help would be appreciated in restoring profiles

Just out of the blue I found my local folders emails missing or I should say I wanted to put them back where I had them. It appears one drive had been messing with them. I had them in a folder on my desktop so I know they got backed up when I did a manual backup with an image using ms backup tool. I do not want to use one drive but it appears TB gets an error when I think I am pointing to the correct folder. How do I undo one drive and put my folders back? Unfortunately I do not have a recent image that have emails in them that are recent and want to save. I also had local outlook pst files on my local drive TB folder Any advice appreciated.

I have no idea what I have accomplished and what I have to do next. I am here because I cannot access my current email account,and neither can you. I paid $20 but I still see a pay page. Get Thunderbird installed and working. I had Thunderbird years ago and lost it, I think someone wanted me on the foxinternet.com program. Assume I am a new person to access the internet.

I have an existing Tbird account for my Gmail emails. Have set up a new Tbird account for my Outlook email account. Would like to move all emails, including folders and subfolders, to my new Outlook Tbird account (with the intent of closing my Gmail account altogether).

Would appreciate learning the steps to ensure the emails, folders, and subfolders are moved from Tbird Gmail account to Tbird Outlook account

I don't know if something has changed since the last time I downloaded a .ics file into thunderbird or not.

I used to be able to load a .ics file directly into 'events' in my calendar. But something has changed. When I download the file now it gives it the name "Zul52mNeovl5. Which happens to be the name of the file I'm downloading from. So now I have 3 options of where to put the file - Events, Tasks or this filename. I can't find this file anywhere on my computer. How do I get rid of it?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hey Forum, 2 problems.

1. 1. - I have been having some problems w/my paypal account. Someone has been trying to hack into it. Twice in two weeks. I talked to a paypal tech and was told that they are accessing my emails. And she advised changing my email password. I have use Tbird for several years and don't remember having a password. But if I do, where is it, and how do I change it?
2. 2 - For awhile now I have been getting an error message when trying to send an email. (I can recieve, but not send). it says: "Enter your password for ***********@suddenlink.net on smtpsuddenlink.net" Where would I find such a password and where is smtpsuddenlink.net? Also could the above problem be related to this one? They started about the same time.

My 'sent mail' has suddenly all disappeared - although still on the mail file server. Inbox mail is fine - but if I send a test message to myself, I get the reply, but the sent message is not saveb. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird twice, n - the second time deleting the Mozilla folder under C:\users and then rebooting This happened whilst I was using Thunderbird. I have used Thunderbird for years without problems I have run a virus scan with Malwarebytes, but no problmes showed up. All folders are still vixible on my iPhone

I am about to try reinstalling again. I don't want to have to change email clients.

Any help much appreciated.. Thank you Joan Kemp

Have TB on my laptop (146.0.1 (64-bit) on Win11) all set up the way I want it. Would like to "clone" those settings/profiles to my desktop. AI site said, "Copy profiles folder and profiles.ini to the new machine." Didn't work. Asking me to set up from scratch. Laptop is on "standard" edition, think desktop is on beta. Is that the problem? What do I need to do?

Sent mail has suddenly vanished, even though it is still on the originating file server. This happened very suddenly. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, but no change. I am about to reboot PC to see if this will solve the problem. Very strange!

I occasionally receive HEIC as attachments. Opening the attachment defaults to my Adobe Acrobat which also cannot open HEIC. Is it possible to set the default open to Paint or something in Win11? Thanks.

The File (saving to a folder) Recent function used to have the folders alphabetically. Some genius thought to reorganize the Recent folders to be in chronological order. Is there a setting to have the Recent folders be in alphabetical order again? I could not find anything. Thanks in advance.

I dropped by to see if I replies to a query about Thunderbird. Sometimes the options to Login wouldn't let me in, it kept going to "Como colaborar" that went to a Page with mixed English and Portuguese, another page had mixed Spanish, Portuguese and English.

After a lot of translating, I made it my login. Wow! And my day has just begun. :) ~r
