Thunderbird — Fora społeczności

I exported my profile to an external drive, then reset my Windows 11 PC. The resulting file is a zip file. When I import, the import starts, then stalls and gives an error. The error log is incomprehensible to me. How can I not lose my local folders and messages? I tried unzipping and importing that folder, but another error. I need help! Ideas? Thanks.

Image of the error attached.

With the new version of TB the address book has become unusable. It is not White Text on white background. I can't find any settings to reset or apply a theme or fix the colors of the text within the address book. There are many settings and themes that one could apply to the mailbox but if one can't see the address book that pretty much it useless to try to use the email.

How does one just set up the ENTIRE program to apply a theme? Or can we get a working White and Dark themes that address all Text and All backgrounds to make them legible so there are at least useful. TB has become very frustrating. Sorry to rant but before the big changes to use native Darkmode it was really good email client but like so many that try to embrace the darkmode trend (which isn't a bad idea) they are falling short of addressing the entire product.

Any help to address the color issues in the address book would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using Thunderbird since its inception. I am currently on 137.0.1 using W10 Pro with all updates as well as another DELL machine running W11 Pro with latest updates. Suddenly, on BOTH machines, the calendar popup notifications have ceased to appear. I am able to perform all other calendar functions ie: new events, edit, etc. Weird to say the least. No changes have been made to the event notifications settings. Wassup?

i have a imap acct using msft 365 exchange, i have created folders dividing emails into categories. i able to see them with outlook, emclient and mailbird, but with thunderbird, i can only see my inbox, no archives or created folders.

I created a new installation, Win11 64-bit, and edited installs.ini and profiles.ini to use the profile left from a previous Win10 64-bit installation.

I get messages to the Inbox correctly, and the structure of what would be Local Folders seems intact. However, I have two problems: (1) when I try to save a message in another folder, I get a dialog saying my disk is full (there are more than 200GB available) (see image); and (2) the "Local Folders" folder looks to be in the Trash. There is also some "weirdness" in the menu when I try to move a message from Inbox (see image).

I have never tried to export from TB but if I can export the Inbox and the other folders with saved messages, I might be able to do a fresh install and then import those.

Any other ideas?

I've been using the Calendar for a long while I think I set it up when using the Lightening add-on. I used to be able to add a Custom Email reminder from the Set up Reminders dialog. The Choose a Reminder Action had the option to send an email. This option has disappeared. The only thing I have done is to add a Google Calendar so I can use it along with my phone's calendar. The events created before this issue still show the email notification on the tab.

Can anyone explain what has happened to cause this and what action I can take to get the email reminders back?

What fresh hell is this (in the image)? The display is like this most of the time. Usually, highlighting text causes that part to be fixed but it doesn't last long. This in on Windows 11 and nothing seems to fix it. I've updated drivers and Thunderbird. I've scanned for system file damage. While there wer some corrupt files, fixing them has not affected the display problem. No effect. It looks like some characters are randomly changed to the background color. AMD integrated graphics on a Ryzen 9 7900x and Asrock X670E PG Lightning mainboard.

When I click Get Messagesitalic text' the counter displayed 30 new messages being downloaded, bold textBUT bold text' only three we displayed in the IN BOX.

I could not find any (27) other new ones. My ISPs server had all 30.

Please help. THANKS

since updating computer I cannot access e mails on thunderbird I can only access them on talktalk mail and get a warning about someone else viewing e mails and telling me to leave page

I tried installing TB on two machines with the same profile, but this did not work because I was unable to keep the versions in sync on the two machines.

Now I am back to one machine, but because of the above I was left with quite a few "zombie" Inbox and Trash folders. These are empty but they cannot be removed.

Is there a "trick" or mechanism within TB for doing so?

This is a Deb12 Linux installation btw.

Thx, Phil

Hi, Having a problem with TB that started on April 9th. It stopped retrieving from my POP3 account that was transferred to Yahoo from Cox Communications 2 years ago. Our IMAP accounts have no problems. I CAN send emails, and the new messages do show on the web portal. My phone can also receive messages. on my PC TB tries for about 10 minutes to get the messages, then shows an error message "The DELE command did not succeed, error marking a message as deleted. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded too many requests". For a couple of weeks I found some messages never downloaded (most did) but now I get none. Interestingly today when it happened I would hear the audio announcement for the account there was mail, but none showed. Server settings are what is specified, tried restarting in Troubleshoot mode to no effect, and updated TB to next version. Still stuck. Any help is appreciated!

p.s. Just to complicate more, Windows did an update dated April 8, installed sometime on April 9.

Solution found: I found a year-old backup of my TB profile and replaced the existing one with it (after first copying the existing one for safety). That worked, except ALL messages were downloaded again. It appears every time TB tried to access messages it started at the beginning, so there were multiple copies of each old one to delete. A small price to pay for getting TB back online. So the problem was a corrupted profile, reason unknown.

When setting up TB to use my Gmail, I can successfully set up the configuration, but when I "allow" TB to access my Google account, the credential process starts, but never complete. Note that sometimes I get a security alert indicating the TB has been granted access to my google account, but TB is not actually updated
