Hello, to whom may help. I used multiple methods to "move" a 3GB Profile folder from the latest version of Thunderbird on Win10 to the same version of TB on Linux Mint.

I have 1 active (used daily) account and 2 inactive accounts with emails and other account data downloaded for offline viewing. All emails and child folders for ALL 3 accounts are visible and accessible in TB on Win10.

After moving the profile folder (i tried C&P, Import/Export add-on tool, and Profile Manager, etc.) all methods work fine. I can see all child folders under each of the 3 accounts until... I close TB on Linux Mint 22.

When I close and reopen it, the 2 inactive accounts only show the Inbox folder with NO emails inside, but everything is fine with the 3rd active account. All emails and child folders are the same as in TB on Win10. I have no idea WHY and worst of all, how can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions that will help solve this problem. W

One thing I would love to be implemented is a way to bulk erase all at once all messages in the Trash and Junk folders. Sometimes they have a lot of messages, especially trash.

I asked bout this a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a response. Perhaps I asked under the wrong heading. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to these things. Over the holidays I prepared many emails to send afterwards. I created sub-folders in my drafts folder. I sent the emails OK, but then I couldn't delete the folders I created in the drafts folder. Not only that but the folder icons in Drafts turned from yellow to purple and they did that in all four of my email accounts, even though my storage of emails was all in one single account. When I right click on the folders I don't get the option to delete and the folders won't allow being dragged to trash. Also one of the folders suddenly disappeared with all of the prepared email in it. Can you help me correct this condition? Thanks.

Have other computer running W10 Tbird using POP3. New laptop W11, I had mistakenly set up Tbird as IMAP. Didn't notice it for months until I needed to clean trash on email provider server. Then noticed all my trash on the W11 Tbird disappeared. I'm messy & like trash so want to keep it on my computers. How can I change the W11 machine from IMAP to POP3 without losing anything? Another question, is there any way to combine the sent emails from the different computers?

Hi,

Today I got some problems with thunderbird. At first, when opening the program, it opens a new message that mentions "Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV: It's time to go" The message is not complete and has some drawing background I could initially still look at my mails but then tried to remove that mail and then the rogram crashed. I tried going into the accounts setting to update and that would also lead to crashing. I tried to set the troubleshoot mode off but it would crash before I can click to turn it off.

Any assistance would be great I use windows 11, 64 bits the thunderbird version is 128.5.2esr (32 bits)

Thanks a lot!

I am using Thunderbird 128.6 in an attempt to get away from Microsoft Outlook. I still use an outlook.com address though through IMAP on Thunderbird. Each time I send a message I am getting two copies in my sent box. I understand this is because Outlook sends an automatic receipt for the email and this gets filed in my sent box along with the original message sent. The receipt from Outlook is always larger in size than the original message, presumably because of the garbage added on to the header ID. An earlier post suggested filtering out these receipts if one can identify a standard item in the receipt which could be used to filter. I have established that the receipts headers always end with, in capitals, 'PROD.OUTLOOK.COM' but the filters in Thunderbird appear not to permit the header to be used for filtering. Any suggestions how I can use this identifying aspect to automatically delete these messages as soon as they hit my sent box?

Some time ago I switched from provider A to provider B, in both cases with IMAP accounts. I did not copy mails from A to B. After cancelling the contract with A, Thunderbird cannot connect there anymore and asks for the password instead. I assumed I could just deactivate the syncing in the server settings but did not find a way to do that. I also thought that I could still access the mails that were synced before the cancellation but the mail list stays empty.

- How can I make Thunderbird stop from trying to connect to provider A? As far as I saw, I cannot leave the server settings empty. - How can I access my old mails? Can I somehow move or import them to account B?

Thanks!

I am not getting my email on Thunderbird. I am getting this message: "Could not connect to server pop3.optusnet.com.au; the connection was refused" Could you please help with this - kind regards Luke

I want to sync my Thunderbird calendar on my win11 laptop with my new Samsung Z Flip 6 phone. I have a Google calendar on the phone, and I've ticked "Lightning" on it, but I'm not getting my entries transferred from my laptop.

Can anyone help, please?

hello, most probably we went way over what's supposed to be as regards thunderbird folders. one of these folders (with some 5,7 Gb content) finally sort of lost all its subfolders, sub-subfolders and emails. the files are there on the disk, but Thunderbird can't see them anymore. I tried to fix it with the available button, but after 8 hours it was still stuck at the very first step (don't know if there are more, really). also I searched online and found some interesting solutions, among which ne pointed at removing the panacea.dat e global-messages-db.sqlite files in order to force Thunderbird and rebuild its index. I am running v 115 though and there's no panacea.dat here. I wonder if there is any new procedure to get the same result... or else, whatever viable solution that could make me recover the former folders structure. of course, the first thing I would do after recovering would be to simplify the structure and/or reorganise in order for the folders to be less heavy, according to any suggestions of yours... that would be more than welcome :) thanks, kind regards

Hi, I have two google accounts A & B. I am able to view the Birthdays calendar for A when trying to add it as a google account but unfortunately not for B. I am not based out of EU either, and am unable to figure out which google account setting will fix this for me.

Thanks & Regards, Sahil

For a few days, on all our PCs, when I forward certified emails (PEC) the body of the email is empty! This only works if I forward "as attachment" otherwise the body of the email is empty without any attachment. It only happens with PEC (Certified Email) emails, while with "normal" emails everything is fine. >> In the menu bar Select Tools-Options-Composition-General option is set to Inline.

Has anything changed? Anyone have this problem? I've really tried them all!

thanks

I am trying to create two separate calendars in Thunderbird. I would like one calendar to contain holidays, birthdays, etc. The other I would like to contain a list of daily tasks to be completed. I started by creating the holiday/birthday calendar and was mostly successful. I figured out how to create a new calendar; however, I do not know how to make it blank so that I can start adding my to-do lists. The new calendar appears to be a duplicate of the first calendar, with all of the entries I had put into the first calendar, instead of a new, blank calendar on which to make new entries. How can I make a new blank calendar?

Hello, For some time -there's been a change in positioning of emails. Now they stack up on same sender previous mail, and can easily be missed. I want new mail to be separate and highlited in order they are received, not attached to previous mail. how can I achieve this? Thanks, Jeremy

Good morning, I would like to report an issue with version 128.6.0esr of Mozilla Thunderbird. Since updating to the latest version, there has been a problem with forwarding messages encrypted using the S/MIME protocol and signed by the internal certification authority. The issue occurs when: the message is signed and encrypted, as well as when the message is only signed(without encryption). Is this issue related to security measures or is it a bug? Please provide a quick response and verify this functionality. Yours sincerely,

I am trying to create a personal calendar as a checklist for chores. Is it possible to make a list of tasks without adding a time to each task? When I try to print the calendar, the time stamp takes a lot of space and is unnecessary for my purposes. Also, I have added birthdays/anniversaries/holidays to my calendar, and these also require an unnecessary time stamp. Is there a way to add these without an associated time?

128.6.0esr (64-bit):

Have in the past received occasional e-messages where I needed to go to a file-sharing site to open pix. That is the extent of my understanding of file-sharing, how to file-share my e-message with the .mp4 files attached, etc., etc.

PC here; Windows 10.

So how can I file-share my message with .mp4 attachments?

Thank you. Appreciated.
