Форум поддержки Thunderbird

I have been using thunderbird for a few years My email was so big had to put it on a seperate internal drive(A:) My c: drive crashed reinstalled windows but cant seem t figure out where my old emails are. I am sure they are on the A: drive somewhere just cant find them Searched for "Profile", "Thunderboard" Large files just doesn't wnat to show up I guess I am IMAP so it will repopulate just bothers me that I can't find it

When I install Thunderbird, either the Microsoft-approved version (129mb) or directly from thunderbird site (119mb), I get the attached error message. It doesn't matter if I click Cancel or click "Confirm Security Exception", I get the same result. The initial result is that I go into my new Thunderbird email account and all appears fine). But when I try to send an email, I get that same message again (altho with a different 3-digit number following imap.gmail.com) followed by a "message couldn't be sent" error message.

I have used Thunderbird for years, but now that I have installed it on a new computer, setting up my Hotmail and Gmail accounts keeps saying "unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

We just got a new computer because the previous computer died. I downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the new machine, which has Windows 11. I entered my name, email bcde@nc.rr.com and password. It had IMAP configuration on the screen and when I clicked 'Done', it gave me the error "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." When I tried changing it to POP and clicked "Done", I got the same error.

There is a 'configure manually' link, but I do not know how to do that. Please let me know what I should do.

Thanks,

I'm trying to import emails that I backed up from my wordpress website's hosted email on hostgator. I have downloaded a mail.zip file however when I try to import it using Thunderbird it shows 0 emails imported. How can I import the emails using the file I have?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I have several email accounts stored on a different internal hard drive, when I say stored I mean choosing a different location in the thunderbird account settings for each email to store the mail boxes, filter rules etc.

I sent my machine back in for repairs and long story short the OS drive ended up being wiped. From what I've seen, in order to import the email profiles which seem to be stored on the OS under approaming or something similar.

I'm struggling to find a way to import my existing accounts with what I have on my other drive. Any ideas on how I might be able to do this?

The mother board on my old computer crashed and I needed to get a new computer. Old computer will not post or boot-up. Is there anyway to retrieve and transfer my Thunderbird email files to my new computer when the old computer will not post? Thanks!

I've just replaced Windows 10 with a clean install of Windows 11 and then did a clean install of Thunderbird. No snags and Thunderbird is working fine on all my email accounts. BUT No Thunderbird folders in Windows Explorer are visible. I've looked for my Profiles folder where Thunderbird says it is but it's not there or it's invisible! Similarly there are no visible Thunderbird folders under any program folders. As my emails are working fine, none of this would matter except I do local email backups using a batch program run by Windows task scheduler so I need to be able to get to the profiles folder for this (been running fine for years under Windows 10). Also I'm curious! So, is this entirely a Thunderbird problem, or entirely a Windows 11 problem, or some interaction between the two. Any solutions? Many thanks for any help you can give. Clive

I have downloaded Thunderbird to a new Windows computer but cannot connect to my Spectrum server. I have 2 other computers with Thunderbird which work fine. Spectrum is unable to help and feel there may be an issue with Thunderbird. I have uninstalled and then reinstalled Thunderbird to no avail. Any clues, anyone?

Hi; I just installed Thunderbird and set up one email on it but it only migrated today's emails from that service ( Cablevision in NY which has it's own email service) how can I retrieve all my emails from it I have over 10000 emails in there. Thank you.

I could not update TBird. I tried emClient (it's awful). Downloaded new TBird installer and was able to install new version TBird. I can see emails up to time I switched to emclient, but nothing else. Lost old password. Something about imap. Aged and confused please help.

Just to confuse things more, I had previously moved my Local Files folder from C:.... to F:..... (4 partitions on 2 drives.
