Thunderbird: форум сообщества

Moving Thunderbird to a different computer. Email provider, email address and passwords are the same. Thunderbird setup thinks I'm a new user, which I'm not. How do I solve this issue. [edited email from community support forum]

This product use to be simple. But now will not let me see the whole layout . Have to chase it across back to the begining. Been with this program over 15 years. Now i Hate it! Arthur Lovett as my father would say Keep it Simple and workable.

Many times, I have a conversation with many messages. I may want to sort the array of conversation fields on any field. Currently, if I click on any field name, the conversation collapses.

I'm a newby to Thunderbird so forgive me if this sounds stupid. I'm moving off Outlook so used the TB Import function to get all my mail into my TB Inbox. Sucess. Next I'm setting up Filters to move all that mail to my Local Folders but struggling a bit. After setting up a few filters, I hit the Run Now button and off it goes (I guess), reading thru all 9,000 messages and moving the ones targetted. The problem is, I don't know when that has finished so I go and build a few more filters and run manually again, or try to. The Run Manual button is now greyed out. It would be nice if there was a display at the bottom telling me why that is so. It would also be nice if, when running manually, it not only told you the target folder, but has a progress bar to let you know how that's going. I suspect the greyed out Run Now button on my subsequent execution is because it's still doing the first execution. I would know that if the display was there.

hi :-)

My Thunderbird uses between 19 and 34 GB of RAM. It's cyclical (with a period of about 10 minutes).

What do you suggest?

Do I need to perform a performance diagnostic? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiling-thunderbird-performance

Do I need to follow all the steps listed on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems#Diagnosis_Steps, or can I skip some of them?

TB address book has duplicate entries or other entries that will not delete or edit? Tried to even change the name. Close reopen and it reverts back to original. ??? Thanks for the help.

I created a user profile for IMAP and all was OK....Until I deleted the profile for POP and I lost all e-mail folders that I didn't move to IMAP. My PC is running Linux Mint. How do I get my lost e-mails?

I have used Thunderbird for years and years and never had a problem. The last 2 weeks all of my outgoing emails have been going to everyone's SPAM folders. I have an AT&T email account and I use the AT&T Pop server settings, for the Outgoing Server I have the Comcast/Xfinity settings. I receive emails with no problems, it is my outgoing emails only. I don't know if it is a Comcast problem, an AT&T problem or Thunderbird problem. I have been on the phone with Xfinity for 2.5 hours and still having problems. Any suggestions.

I have been using Thunderbird email for years. Recently, I have gotten this error message: Connection to server mail.5starpros.com:465 failed. I have checked all the settings and they are right for my domain. I called the hosting service to check for email on their end and everything is fine. This message is blocking my domain at 5starpros.com. But, in Outlook on the same computer the same email address is working just fine. Thunderbird has the same settings and is getting my email. Is like my PC is blocking my email address. Can anyone help me with this. It is very distressing.

I would like to follow up on a query I posted earlier this year at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1565806

Briefly, I want to move some more prior years' archived folders and messages to TBird's Local Folders. My effort to simply drag and drop the archive to the new location ran into trouble because (as I understand) the archive flag was not turned off in the move, leading to anomalous results. Is there a standard approved way to move archived messages to local folders, or should I just drag and drop and de-flag again?

From my earlier query: > Installing the folder flags add-on showed me (as you said) that 2024 was flagged as an archive. I turned the flag off, restarted TBird and 2024 now comes after 2023 as it should. I expect I created the problem somehow when I moved the 2024 folder from the server to Local Folders; what is the proper way to do that?

Hello,

When I forward message with some attachments, new windows opens, with e-mail and attachments, and I can open and review them. If I edit (or not) that message, for no more than couple minutes, I can send it without problems.

But if I left windows open for some time (let say more than 10 minutest, but I not figured out exact amount), I can't view attachments. If I double-click on icons, nothing happens. If I try to send that message, I get message about missing file.

I've noticed, that after opening new window with forwarded message, attachments are copied to %TEMP% folder as nsmail.pdf (or jpg or something). After some time (10 or more minutes as mentioned before) these files disappear, and then problem begins.

The same problem occurs with MAPI generated message with attachment.

Problem tested at two PCs, one PC with 32bit viersion of TB and IMAP, and another with 64bit and POP.

I have installed Thunderbird in my new computer and moved the entire contents, accounts, etc. from the old one to the new one. Alas the Local Folders did not follow. Therefore to move my Local Folders from Thunderbird in one computer to another I have followed the following procedure:

On the old computer, go to Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Folder and click Open Folder.Exit Thunderbird.Open the Mail folder, then enter the Local Folders directory.Locate the large files without extensions (e.g., Inbox, Archive) and any corresponding folders ending in .sbd.Copy these files to your USB drive.

I do not know where I should put these folders in my new computer so that they will appear under Local Folders in my new computer.

I have downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird. The old computer uses Windows 10 and the new Windows 11. I have put the folders on the desktop of my new computer pending the reply to where I should put them so that they appear in Local Folders.

Thank you for your reply.

I received a spam message this morning that had a "Disposition-Notification-To" (aka Read Receipt) line that had MY email address on it. I honestly don't know why a spammer would do this - but that's not the issue. I have Read Receipts disabled, but Thunderbird generated an email (to me) and sent it to my mail host. This seems like a bug. Even if the Read Receipt has my email address on it (making it mostly harmless), Thunderbird shouldn't have generated the message. Or am I missing something? Thanks.

Needed to ire install thunderbird email and could not get past the "donation" page Paid a "donation" and still cannot get past the donation page The release channel button did nothing Am thinking the donation is a scam How Can I use thunderbird for emails Margaret

I update Thunderbird/linux to v.130 over a year ago, implementing oath2 with gmail. I do NOT want to do more updates because with each previous update I lose desired capabilities; I did this update only because of gmail's authorization requirements.

Worked fine for a while and then I started getting "authorization error" messages and could no longer access this account with Thunderbird. I have over 20gb of stored messages on my computer and do not want to do anything that will jeopardize this -- I generally delete all messages at the server. Google is of no help other than suggesting deleting and then somehow restarting the account. No. Someone suggested switching the account from oauth2 to password and then switching back again, but I am reluctant to do anything that might lose my messages. I can backup the entire profile, of course, but that just gets me back to where I was.

I went through the reauthorization process with gmail, including getting the 6-digit code, but the error still exists. I've been forwarding mail in this account to another account, but I'd rather go back to the REAL account. Help!
