A few weeks ago after an automatic update I ended up having Thunderbird version 131.0.1 installed, I have no idea how this happened. On opening I get a message telling me I shouldn't be using a beta version and that I should revert to the latest general release version (128.4)

Today when I had some free time I downloaded 128.4 and installed it. On opening it it says that I can't use a profile file from a later version with the earlier version. Is there a way to recover from this WITHOUT having to set up the whole profile again from scratch.

Meanwhile I have done a system restore so I am back with 131.0.1 It has not given me any problems so far. Is there a new general release version imminent that will get me back on track?

I would appreciate any help I am not a computer expert, just a user, and find Thunderbird a very good email client.

I am about to lose access to Outlook. My current settings show imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com and it is working. This is an sbcglobal.net account. When I look at what ATT says it should be due to changes they made it reflects imap.mail.att.net and smtp.mail.att.net. The ports are the same between both choices. It says on both of these when entered that it can't access and the user name or password is incorrect which is not the case. Any help out there???

This may be different than other posts. I had been trying out Waterfox for better security, but decided to remove it. I did two things: First removed Waterfox using REVO Unstaller. REBOOTED

I might have had RATAIL malware so decided to install Charter Security Suite since was free with my account. Rebooted.

At this point is when I wanted to check my email. Got profile error and Thunderbird will not load. Uninstalling , reboot and reinstalling does not help. I keep a backup of my profile folder in these cases. I really need this fixed as I have years of several profiles and email that I need. Thanks

I recently upgraded from Thunderbird 116 to 128 on Kubuntu 22.04, since then it has crashed at least once every day.

For some reason it is unable to send a crash report, instead I get the attached window pop up.

Hi, Although Tools > Export, allows the for the export of 'everything' it would be incredibly helpfull if it could just have an export option(s) with a / a selection of Account and configuration details, not just 'everything', all emails etc. This would greatly help with setting up new users / machine upgrates and transfers etc, even with backing up account details / configurations etc. PLease consider.
