Quick question if I may, Can someone confirm that 'local folders' are included in a Backup of my profile? (I am a little unsure of this because I don't understand what local folders are for. Are they just to remove emails from my email service providers site therefore keeping me within storage quotas?) Thanks Chris

Hello, The 'Import' option in Thunderbird only seems to be able to import all emails from Outlook. I wish to import only ONE email at a time. How is that done please? Regards Philip Kelly

Is thunderbird down?? I cannot seem to get or send e-mails. This has been going on since morning.. Since I cannot get an e-mail could you respond by text to my cel phone? [edited phone# from public community forum].

Good morning, On 20/07 I noticed that Thunderbird duplicated all the defects. The option to remove duplicates does not work - no duplicates found. How can I fix this?

Under Account Settings, I went to synchronization&storage, clicked Advanced to be sure the files would be available offline. I exited Thunderbird & used File Explorer to go to my root directory to Profiles. There were 2 files, one with the ext of .default-esr which was a large file. The other with ext of .default which was a very small file. I copied both of these to an external drive. Under Account Settings I went to Copies & Folders & under Message Archives, I didn't know what to choose. I need to know how to copy to the Local Folders of the profile for each email account which is 2, Gmail & Hotmail or Outlook. Thanks.

Sorry I'm not making myself clear. I want to save the emails to where I can access them if needed later. After I have that I want to delete the older emails in Gmail to make the inbox and folders smaller. Thunderbird will then sync the inbox which will be considerably smaller. It appears that archiving will do this but I don't know how to copy the emails to Local Folders. It appears that Thunderbird will still be able to search & find the old emails if I need them. After deleting them, Thunderbird will be syncing the smaller inbox instead of all of them. I copied the Profiles directory from the appdata string to an external drive which it appears I have backed the profile up.

質問お願い致します。 先程、誤ってメールを送信してしまいました。 受信側のメールも削除したいのです。 申し訳ありません。 回答よろしくお願い致します。

Please ask any questions. I sent an email by mistake earlier. I also want to delete the email on the receiving side. very sorry. Thank you for your reply.

Hi,

Let's say you're opening an email in thunderbird, and it's an email you've been exchanging with someone for a long time. As you scroll down, the older emails are indented to the right, making the view of the email "narrower and narrower". What is the setting or method to prevent this from happening?

Thanks in advance!

I removed an account (membershipsec.KLcommunitychoir@gmail.com) from Thunderbird but I am still being asked to validate my ID for that account every time I look at my email. It's a Google page that is displayed but it seems to be Thunderbird that is triggering it. How do I stop it?

I am new to Thunderbird and I store my Gmail’s in different storage folders which show up in my Thunderbird menu. How do I move individual emails to different designated storage folders. I do not want to use dragon drop because I might want to do a number of them so how do I simply move an individual email into a storage folder

Thunderbird 115.12.2 is generating an overlay over the body of an email message blocking the user from clicking on the login link when they move the mouse cursor close to the login button contained in the email body.

Hopefully the attached images adequately demonstrate what is happening.

What is this feature called and how do I disable it please?

Thanks

I recently had to change my email address to a gmail account. I want to continue to use Tb but don't want copies kept on the Gmail account. Is there a way to delete the messages in Gmail without deleting them in Tb.

I got this notification:

"You must have the 'Encrypt' button present in your compose window toolbar to be able to schedule messages with Send Later. If you removed it some point, you need to customize the toolbar and put it back. This is due to a Thunderbird bug which we hope will be fixed soon."

I don't use encryption, but do use "Send Later." I also never removed the button. I tried to customize both the main toolbar and the one in the composition window; neither one had a button under "customize" for encryption. Can anyone help with this?

I received an email where I am part of a "grouped email" that the sender created. How do I expand the group email to see the other email addresses included in the group?

It must have been one of those nutty "...something I did" things that made a second account identity appear one day. I use a Unified Folders mode exclusively, and the subject account is my primary account (identical to the first Unified listing), but some action on my part made it pop up below as well, just above 'Local Folders.' The only subfolder under this redundant appearance is 'Templates,' which is empty. The unwanted appearance starts out in a blue font, but turns black (as shown below) once the 'Templates' folder is clicked on. Can I get rid of this somehow?

Is Mozilla working on the below email I have received from Microsoft? "The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods.

I composed an outgoing email message that I wanted to keep for future use, and saved it as a Template. That not only saved it under the unified Templates heading, but created a second appearance of my main email account with its own Templates subfolder. At that point I decided I really didn't want to keep it after all, so I deleted the message, but the second Templates folder didn't disappear; its still on the tree list as an empty folder. Right-clicking that folder doesn't have a Delete function, but it does present a Repair option, but running that doesn't help. How do I get rid of that unneeded individual email account listing and the empty Templates folder?
