I followed [guide] to move my Thunderbird profile from my old computer with Windows 10 to my new computer with Windows 11, but it is showing up as an empty window with no emails or folders/accounts. It also doesn't show my tabs/session. If I try to write a message, there is no "from" email address. I do get email notifications though, and I saw in Gmail that my forwarding filter worked as well. There is no error message or anything. I tried starting it in Troubleshoot Mode, but the same thing happens, except that the background color is different. I attached a screenshot of it in Troubleshoot Mode. Could this problem be due to Windows 11? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Hi Support,

Trying to migrate from Thunderbird 91.8 on an iMac with iOS 10.13 to a MAC Mini M1 with iOS 12.3.

Following all the instructions, but every time when I copy the old profile to the new, T-bird will start with all of the accounts in the proper order, When I go to download mail, it asks for security certificates for every account and will nor download email.

When I exit Thunderbird and restart, about half the email accounts show up, The other inboxes are no longer marked as "Favorite Folder" and none of the Sent, Trash, or SPAM folders appear.

I am out of ideas. My next step is to load a clean T-bird 91.9 and manually move al 40 email accounts and I really do not want to do that.

Anyone with a solution?

Thanks Walt Wise wpwise@comcast.net

I asked a PC repair shop to move the local profile from C:\ to D:\. The result is as follows: The profile at D:\ is used to store my mails according to account settings: Account Name: Wolfgang Local Directory D:\Thunderbird\Profiles\uec9qce6.default\Mail\Local Folders Troubleshooting Information "about profiles" says: Profile: default This is the profile in use ... Local Directory: C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\uec9qce6.default The profile manager only knows the profile default

How can I tell thunderbird to switch completely to D:\ (where all my mails are currently stored)? I need to free the disk space in C:\

Thanky you for your help

I have upgraded to the 64 Bit version of Beta and also installed Daily. The Beta install successfully upgraded all my profile settings, including address books, to the 64 Bit version. However, Daily did not do so. I pointed the mail folder to my upgraded profile and that links email between the Beta and Daily versions. However, when I try to import MAD, CSV, of LDIF files into Daily, the import fails.

Is there a way to have Daily use the same address book(s) as Beta?

I had Thunderbird running fine under Ubuntu 20.04 and built up contacts and calendar events. i loved it.

I have now upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and found Thunderbird has made a new installation and a new .default file. I no longer have my contacts and calendar events.

If we call my data rich original file old.default as the old file and the new.default file as my new empty file with a few recent emails, how can I merge old.default and new.default please?

I fried my old laptop and have a new one. After installing Thunderbird, I wanted to transfer my address book to the new laptop. The old hard drive (M2) works and I can access it. I cannot find the address file. I tried copying the entire folder, but that did not work. Should I uninstall Thunderbird from my new laptop and then copy again? Or can you tell me how to find and transfer the address book?

I set Thunderbird up for the first time earlier today and wrongly opted for POP. I realise now that it means I can't see my Sent folder, etc, so I'd like to change to IMAP. Unfortunately the article explaining how to do this on your website does not relate to the newest version of Thunderbird, as installed today. I've tried deleting the programme and reinstalling but it's remembering that I chose POP and not letting me start with a clean slate. Please can you help me with this, as I'd love to use Thunderbird!

I have a friend whose G5 Mac Tower is running OS X 10.4 / System 9 and he needs to install ThunderBird.

ALL Of the System requirements for releases prior to 31 are missing. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/31.1.0/system-requirements/ None earlier than THAT.

Which Version of Thunderbird runs under Mac OS 10.4 ?

After installing the latest update 91.0.9 (I think), TB starts, shows my 'folders' in the left column and 'event's in the right column, then, instead of showing the selected email folder, an hourglass appears for a few seconds and then nothing. I've sent multiple crash reports. I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. I've used TB for 10+ years on both PC n MAC - first time it's left me high and dry. HELP !!

Hi I have some questions on downloading Gmails to Thunderbird:

1. Can I simultaneously download 2 or more Gmails to Thunderbird? If yes, how would be the arrangement of emails will be? Will it be mixed together or separated?

2. Is there a limit as to how many Gmails can I download to Thunderbird?

Thanks!

I've used Outlook 2013 to manage my gmail for a number of years. I recently received an email from google stating that versions of Outlook 2016 and earlier will no longer work for gmail after 5/30/22. According to them, only newer versions of Outlook will offer the required "sign-in with Google" option. If this is correct, I'd like to move away from Outlook because the newer versions of Outlook may not work with my Windows 8.1 OS. To avoid the expense and possibility that a new version of Outlook may not work on my PC, I'm exploring Thunderbird. I'm very concerned about losing emails both in my inbox and the sub-folders I've created within my inbox. Am I correct in assuming that since I'm on an IMAP protocol with google that I'd be able to pull all of that same email from my inbox, and sub-folders within my inbox directly into Thunderbird? If my assumption is correct, will Thunderbird upon import automatically set up the same sub-folders with contents under my new inbox? I know that I have some cleaning up to do, is there a size limitation on how much Thunderbird can handle? Thank you!

Hello All,

I've installed TB to replace my old Opera Mail which is getting too old for support.

I have over 25 000 mails from 2004 onwards.

Export from opera went fine, install into TB went fine and then i've realized that the mails were stored on C and my SSD C drive is too small for that (suggestion for the devs, make an option DURING install to avoid this....)

So I read the tutorials, moved the folder in appdata....then created a new profile which pointed to the folder I've moved to and I mist have done something wrong because I don't see any of the 25 000 old mails.

I created another profile and this time it asked me for my email details (login/pass) which I've entered but I'm back to the same problem.

How can I get out of this ?

I have saved my "original" email folder in which I have an "inbox.sbd" folder that seems to contain my mails and even the folders I've defined when I started setting up TB (before realizing it stored everything on C) so I' just like to use this layout but it won't work.

Should I create a new profile, enter my email infos and then overwrite the inbox.sbd with my old one or is there a sort of "reconstruct" option hidden somewhere ?

Thanks for the help and please take my suggestion to allow for email folder location choice seriously......

I have been running Thunderbird for some time and have now upgraded to a new PC with a new Debian version (from Debian 9 to Debian 11).

How do I restore my existing (old) Email system to the newly installed Thunderbird?

I have several pst files in Outlook. I wish to import them separately to Thunderbird and keep their contents separate. I know Thunderbird only uses one folder, and then has subfolders. Is there a way to bring in first the main pst contents and put all that in a subfolder, then switch in Outlook to a different pst file, and then import that and put it in a subfolder. And so on, so that I can keep the different sets of emails separate? In Outlook I can put all my household stuff in one pst, all my holiday stuff in another etc etc. I have yet to install Thunderbird and am not quite sure how you can file emails in different categories anyway so I want to sort this out before I go ahead. (I can keep the old Outlook installed and get at the contents that way but it is not really the most convenient.) Thanks in advance for any answers.

Hello, I live in germany! I took the exe from your server. Installed it, but now everything is in english, how to change the Thunderbird in German, when it is installed in english? In preferences i saw nothing about it, just change language for "Rechtschreibung".

Thanks!!!

I'm looking forward to Thunderbird 102 with its new features. However I would like to install and run it separately from my existing TB 91.9.0, essentially so as to treat version 102 as a beta and so that I can roll back to version 91.9.0 if I'm not happy with 102 and so that the revamped features such as the new address book will not cause irreversible change. Is there any information online to help with this, or does anyone have any advice? Thank you Andy
