I've been having a number of problems with Thunderbird recently and I'm hoping that deleting and reinstalling the app might help. But I worry that I will lose emails by doing this. I'm also wondering if the numerous folders I've set up will disappear as well. The issues I've been having, by the way, are emails consistently going into the wrong folder and, most recently, constantly being asked for my passwords. (I have emails from four email addresses being downloaded by Thunderbird.) I've had the password issue in years past, but it always seemed to resolve itself.

Hi, I use hushmail as an email provider, and thunderbird to download my hushmail emails onto my laptop. I recently changed the hushmail password, but I cannot see how to update it in thunderbird. I have read several help posts suggesting I need to change the password in 'saved logins', but I don't have any saved passwords there. I know the password is correct because I can access my emails with it online on the hushmail site, just not through thunderbird. I have attached pics showing that I don't have any saved logins, and the message I get when I try to download emails. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Is it possible to somehow incorporate a virus/trojan checker into the software that is open source for Windows? I keep getting TONS of alerts from Mcafee that it caught viruses. Also wondering if this could be a addition to Thunderbird in a new release by incorporating something like CLAMAV into thunderbird software somehow?

Could you make a shortcut to switch on between "dark mode" and "bright mode" in the mobile app browser + pc desktop browser?

There are enough webpages that don't show correctly in dark mode. It is not convenient to change the dark mode each time in settings!

I've been a Firefox user for ~15 years or so and specifically a Nightly user for about 10 of those. On my Samsung Galaxy S24+ I recently had to reinstall the Nightly app; However, when I logged in and confirmed my identity to Mozilla™ it appears to have synced everything EXCEPT my bookmarks. Luckily I had the standard Firefox Browser for Android app also installed on the same device so not all is lost.

My Question: What could cause Nightly to sync other things but exclude bookmarks? Is there a way to export the ones from the other Firefox version to a file, then import them to Nightly?

Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated! Thanks In Advance :-)
