System is win 11, latest TB, personal gmail account of long standing. I want to use TB as my email program for gmail. After installing TB, it asks for my gmail login and password, and recognizes the account, defaulting to IMAP, Oauth2, etc. When I press "done", I get a google screen saying that TB want authorization to access gmail files. But when I press "allow", the TB page shows an error message under the password field reading "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." I understand it is looking for my gmail username and password, and these are correct. I have tried this many times, including with variations: removing and reinstalling TB, creating a pw just for TB in gmail (subsequently deleted). I have read all of the gmail installation help notes at Mozilla. Most relate to a 2022 change in gmail re Oauth2. Nothing helps. Any advice?

I have Thunderbird installed on 3 separate computers in 3 separate locations. When will it be possible that the 3 installations are all completely identical, i.e. they're clones of each other? I would like the folders, filters and address books, for example, alterable by one one installation to update the other two. (Working like, say LastPass)? At the the moment, any filter or folder not present on one of the installations causes emails to end up al over the place!

Hello,

I just copied my whole profile folder from a Debian 12 (Thundebird 115.7) to a Ubuntu 22.04 (Thunderbird 115.8). I expected when running it, to find it in the exact same state because, as what I'm aware of, everything is stored in the profile and nowhere else on the filesystem.

But, I found that: - my favorite folders (around 10) weren't there (well, only 1 of them) - A lot of mails were in "unseen" state (not the unread/read marker, but that star that appears the first time you open a folder for mails that has just been downloaded), where they were already seen

So my concern is about where/how are those values supposed to be stored, and why they don't seem to "migrate" as well? And, may there be some other things that didn't come too?

I was informed in the last text from a TB agent to ... "Be sure to do periodic backups." Could someone please--be specific!--tell me how to do this? And how frequently is a good idea? Thank you!

Hello, I need to backup my Thunderbird instance on computer A to another computer B on the local LAN. Probably by installing Thunderbird on computer B and copying from A to B the Thunderbird message store, including all folders, messages and attachments. How is that done? Thank you.

I downloaded my Google Takeout data in 2021 and subsequently got Thunderbird to open them with. I don't even recall if I was able to open the emails or not (this program is very unfamiliar to me). I needed to access the information in the emails today and went back to the program. Upon selecting Open, and Saved Message at the top, I see that the mbox files are greyed out and I can't even access them. Image provided. Please advise.

Is there a limit to the size of the "All Mail" folder that appears in Thunderbird after performing the following steps? (1)Export your Gmail data using a browser. (2) Unzip the data downloaded in (1). (3) In Thunderbird, change the destination of the local folder to the folder extracted in (2) and restart Thunderbird.

Operating environment OS: Windows 11 Thunderbird version: 115.7.0

Thunderbird has stopped working; it crashes as soon as it gets ask for Gmail credentials. I uninstalled and reinstalled. The reinstall, which knows all the information so has not in fact been unistalled gets to gmail and asks for a password. but it has crashed at this point so will not accept the correct password. As it has crashed I can do nothing.

I have finally had it with version 115 and have downloaded version 102, but now states wrong profile!! How can I get around this problem? How to permanently stop TB from constantly trying to upgrade, and reinstalling the TERRIBLE 115 version??

At 82 I am too old for changes,just leave as it was and make me still happy with Thunderbird.

I'm giving Thunderbird a try because I'm unhappy with spam filters and rules not working in Outlook. I am tired of checking all my spam every day, to be sure that a wanted email is placed there. I want my T-BIrd to receive all spam, and use T-BIrd's rules to then firmly isolate, or even delete, specific spam that I receive.

I've set up four email accounts, using a Global Inbox, so everything is together. While I had been using IMAP with Outlook, I understand I need to use Pop3 for this to work with Thunderbird, so I did that. But....

I am getting some emails with Thunderbird, but not all, even those addressed to me. Will leaving Outlook open during this transition period prevent T-Bird from working properly? Likewise, can gmail.com be open when trying to debug messages? I just sent myself a gmail message, which was received in Outlook, but not in T-Bird (and I couldn't find it in Gmail either, which is /really/ confusing).

Oh, shoot, I tried sending mail using my Gmail account from Thunderbird, and it failed. I went to look up Server settings for Gmail with T-Bird, and the article said I'd have to use IMAP, which I cannot use if I want to have the Global Inbox. So, is use of T-Bird dead for me, if I require/desire a Global inbox?

Of the emails I've received so far, only one is marked by T-Bird as Junk, which I can identify by the red color, and when I click on it, I have a "Not Junk" button. But there is no Junk folder, which is where I thought it would be.

moved thunderbird 115.6.1 from windows 7 to windows 10 and i can receive and forward new emails in win 10 but can not send new emails in windows 10. What do you think?’

Hello Community Please help me to start again with Firefox from scratch. Last Month I downloaded Thunderbird email app and set up with a new email account using mailfence. Now I find that my mailfence email address was only a free trial and I have to pay to continue to use. I now wish to set up with my original free email with gmail. I did uninstall the Thunderbird app and then installed from fresh. Unfortunately it still has the mailfence email remembered in the Thunderbird App. How so I start again from scratch using my gmail account instead of the mailfence account that has now expired? Thank you in anticipation of you help.

I downloaded the update for Thinderbird & donated money to thunderbird and after that download all my files are missing on the left hand sidebar. I have downloaded thunderbird again and still missing now I have a bunch of empty folders with long #s associated to them.. How do I recover the folders again? Urgent! Need help.

I created a Google Takeout file for my emails in my old gmail account which I am trying to import into my new gmail account, however the system does not allow me to split the files into smaller sections say 2-4GB which is what Thunderbird supports. I tried to submit for a 2-4GB split for the Google Takeout files and no luck...it always comes out in 2 files, one is a few MBs and the second file is over 40GB.

As I am trying to use ImportExport NG tool in the Local folders Mbox import, I get an error of Mbox All mail Including Spam and Trash-002.mbox larger than 4GB, skipping.

I've tried to find some online MBOX splitting tools, however no success as the file is too big and causing issues.

Any help with be much appreciated.

When receiving an email with an attachment I can no longer click on the attachment icon in the message to view it. Also the Save As, Save All which was always at the bottom of an email with an attachment is no longer there since my latest automatic update. The only way to view an attachment is to go to the MESSAGE tab, then Attachments and then choose what I want to do. It's 3-4 more steps than it used to.

Also, for a message that has several replies, my preference is to view it unthreaded but Thunderbird keeps changing it back to Threaded. I can change that setting but how do I make that default?

Will the option to import Outlook ever return to Thunderbird? I'm using 123.0b5 (64-bit) Beta which does not have it. There is an option (#4) which allows an import of a ZIP file. But can I just ZIP an Outlook OLM file and go that way? Thanks for any help.

I have installed Thunderbird on a new (Windows 11) lap-top. When I get to "Account setup>>Set up existing email address", and enter my password, I get the response "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database", but when I click "Done," there is a long hesitation on "Checking Password", and finally the message pops up "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." I know my username and password are correct. All configurations appear to match those on my old lap-top. Server is att.net.

I prefer Thunderbird for composing, reading, and replying to emails, and have a decade's worth filed and stored locally on an older lap-top, which I will want to import.
