Thunderbird: форум сообщества

In one of my accounts the inbox is falsely showing 35 emails not read. This untrue I haven't got 35 emails in my inbox. How can I get it to show an accurate number.

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 frequently need to send emails to around 30 recipients. In MS Outlook, it is possible to create a recipient group in the address book. Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird as well?

My BT Mail (premium account) stopped working in Thunderbird about a month ago. I've been using it for many years without a problem, so can't understand what has changed. I'm using it on a desktop with Windows 11.

I had a long session with a tech person from BT, who couldn't find anything wrong. All the IMAP settings are correct. I have removed the saved passwords in Thunderbird and changed them via the webmail platform. I have uninstalled the account and tried to reinstall it but it won't set up the account at all now.

It works perfectly on Webmail and on my iphone so it must be something to do with Thunderbird itself.

I have thousands of emails saved so any help would be appreciated.

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.

In Plain English how to use and secure encryption on all outgoing emails please and whether or not to use this great advantage. Many thanks to all those who contribute to this work, PB

I have several MBOX files with me and I want to import MBOX files into the Thunderbird email client. I've come across different methods, including manual techniques and third-party tools, but I'm unsure which approach is the most efficient, especially when dealing with multiple or large-sized MBOX files. Some methods also seem complicated for users who are not very technical.

Suggest me any reliable tool for this!

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.

Recently, whenever I open Thunderbird, a sign in pop up screen appears. When I enter to proceed, the next page comes up with error 400 bad request? If I ignore this and close the boxes, I can use Tbird without any issues, but, it is a nuisance dealing with this error message every time I use Tbird. How do I resolve this?

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.

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]

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 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?

Thunderbird 170.7 My son's email address has changed. When I write to him, the old email address appears by default. I cannot delete it from the address book, and I can't change it or edit the address book entry. If I am not careful, my message gets sent to the old address. Nothing seems to work in correcting the problem. Any help will be greatly appreciated. John

Neither my wife nor I can access email on our respective PCs. This has been the case for four weeks. We can access email by our Android phones, but we really want to use our PCs. I've tried to resolve the problem and failed. Previous to this failure, I had an account with BT but this was transferred to EE. When I attempt to log in to my mail account, I receive the message "Could not connect ... :the connection was refused". I can also add is that in my Account settings, Outgoing Mail server I see a message "Connection to server mail.btinternet.com:465 failed."

Hi everyone,

My antivirus as quarantined 2 files from my TB profile:

• d:\internet profiles\thunderbird\profiles\z3rq1w7t.default\prefs.js
• d:\internet profiles\thunderbird\profiles\z3rq1w7t.default\virtualfolders.dat

I asked the antivirus to restore them, but the damage is done. TB has lost track of everything I’d stored over the years, including my email accounts, emails, preferences, etc. It’s like a fresh install.

But I can see that my profile still contains about 5 bg of data. So everything’s there, but it seems it no longer knows how to access it.

As you can see, my profile isn’t buried in the depths of Windows; it’s on my D drive. Perhaps I just need to ‘reconnect’ TB to the correct profile, but I don’t know how to do that anymore…

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. Guy

I just can't get Thunderbird to work. Will not send or receive emails. I had chat gpt help, still nothing. I tried last year when I had windows 10, still didn't work.
