I have a ton of old *.emls that I want to convert to .txt. I'd use a linux utility if one was recommended. But the 'ImportExportTools NG' addon is supposed to do it, I think, but I can't get it to work, it only offers me to export my profile, not any messages.

I apologize in advance if I have sent out anything suspicious below. I have a question regarding the Thunderbird-Gmail transfers.

I have read about the article ([[Thunderbird and Gmail|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail]]) regarding data transfers to Thunderbird from Gmail. I was wondering if it's possible to transfer all Gmail data of that email address (i.e. examplename@gmail.com) to the different email address for Thunderbird (i.e. abcde@thunderbird.com), rather than using the same email address that I use for Google's Gmail?

If so, should I follow what's described in the above article link, or is there a different way?

Also, what should I do with the websites that I log in to, such as social media, healthcare, business-related login information, etc. between email addresses from Google's Gmail and Thunderbird? I really don't want to mess anything up on any of my important personal stuff.

I cannot find an article that tells how to change to a new email ISP/Email provider while keeping all of my local folders. I would think that this would be a very common need as users relocate to different areas for new job or whatever. It's personal with me, I will not use Gmail, Yahoo, or AOL as my primary email.

For many years I have been using Thunderbird for my email accounts(3) on my Windows 10 pc. I also have many associated storage folders which I keep emails in once read and wish to refer to later. My pc is 7 years old and not worthy of upgrading to Windows 11. I have recently purchased a top of the line Samsung Android tablet and can receive my emails via the built in emails app. Can someone point me in the right direction to get my old emails from the pc folders to the tablet if it can be done or will I need to forego using Thunderbird on the Tablet? I am not a techo and have limited IT knowledge, just enough to get by on. Perhaps someone has a reference document or U tube clip they know of that may help. Perhaps it would be easier to pay a few $ and get the services of a trained IT person! Thanks in advance for any replies received. Ron B

Hello My previous computer has crashed. C:/ is not available any more. In my previous computer, I had two hard drives: a C:/-drive (an SSD) where Windows and other software were installed, The second hard drive was a conventional drive (D:/) where I stored all my files, documents, images, and so on. On this d:/ I also had several programs installed including Thunderbird. On that previous computer, I saved and organized my emails into subfolders within Thunderbird.

Is it possible to recover my address book in Thunderbird? Is it possible to find/recover my saved emails? Could they perhaps be saved somewhere on my previous C: or D: drives?

I have an old copy of my C: and D: from 2025 I have also a complete copy of my D: from my old computer.

I have now bought a new computer and installed Thunderbird. I would be very grateful if this could be resolved. Kind regards Anders Quant

It seems that saving mails af text.files has been changed within the last month. Becouce the filename in the overwiev has been shortent and supplied with " ... - " - wher can I find a decription of that ?

I am trying to migrate from Microsoft Outlook 2021 to Mozilla Thunderbird. I have successfully imported the email from a number of different email accounts. I would now like to import the archived emails held in a number of PST files. The import tool would seem to be what is required, but it does not seem to allow me to select the PST files that I wish to import. I am concerned that it will try to import all email messages from my Outlook 2021. Is there a way of restricting it to just individual PST files?

Current official docs explains how to backup and move your profile, it assumes you only have one. I have multiple profiles which means about a 20GB backup but I only want to backup one specific profile (<2GB).

The backup is not for recovery but I need to keep a history records for a specific account which can be accessed through Thunderbird even if the original email account no longer exists.

To backup/copy its recommended to do it for this folder %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\ (about 20 GB)

While all I need is %APPDATA\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxx.default-release\ImapMail\Important_stuff* (2 GB folder and .msf file)

Any better solutions than these?

1. Use a backup method that excludes specific folder and files in backup/copy of
2. Have a completely different installation of Thunderbird that only does the Important_stuff account (Thunderbird portable looks like it might do the job).

I suspect the first version will pick up a lot of unnecessary configuration and other stuff.

The functionality for moving individual folders in a Thunderbird email account to network locations is missing. Similarly, moving the entire mailbox to a network drive does not work correctly. This is needed to free up resources on the local computer. In our case, the 500 GB SSD is occupied by a 350 GB mailbox.

Ein freundliches Hallo an alle hier, wie kann ich einen kompletten Ordner mit einzelnen e-Mails in den Thinderbird auf meinem Rechner verschieben? Ich hatte einen Ordner in meinem Postfach angelegt und dahin eine bestimmte Gruppe von E-Mails automatisch abgelegt. Jetzt möchte ich den ganzen Ordner in Thunderbird verschieben, um diese Mails zu archivieren und gleichzeitig mein Postfach aufräumen und Platz schaffen. Vielen Dank für sachdienliche Hinweise. Gruß Wolfgang

I have several MBOX files with me and I want to import MBOX files into the Thunderbird email client. I've come across different methods, including manual techniques and third-party tools, but I'm unsure which approach is the most efficient, especially when dealing with multiple or large-sized MBOX files. Some methods also seem complicated for users who are not very technical.

Suggest me any reliable tool for this!

I have read the question posed by a member wanting to do a similar move to the one I want to make and the standardised method that Mozilla publishes. My worry is :- If I download the latest TB program onto my new Win 11 PC, will it be compatible enough to receive all the files and emails I've saved to an external HDD, from my Win 7 PC? As I got burnt by eMClient's transfer of my emails, two years ago and lost 5 years of emails/contacts, I am naturally anxious about this same procedure in TB. (I transferred to TB, because of this and am very pleased with the way it is working on my Win 7 PC) Any hints and tips from anyone would be very gratefully received. John

Meine Festplatte ging kaputt. Auf der neuen Festplatte können meine in den dortigen lokalen Ordnern abgespeicherten emails nicht mehr gelesen werden. Ich weiß, dass diese noch irgendwo vorhanden sind. Wie komme ich wieder an diese?

I am transferring thunderbird to a new computer. I copied the Thunderbird profile from the old computer to the new computer but most of the old messages are not showing up. I uninstalled thunderbird from the new computer and reinstalled it and again copied the old profile but still the old messages are not there. How can I get them on the new computer?

Migrating from a Win 10 laptop to a Win 11 laptop. Need to move the local folders as well but they were assigned a different ID and I can't change the target address in the new installation. Thanks in advance for your help. Rick.
