I'm trying to move my Thunderbird email reader from a W7 desktop to a new W10 desktop. I been trying all the suggestions on the "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder" site and nothing works. Any ideas what is preventing the profiles.ini from loading my profile? I've tried many iterations of the ini file and paths with no success. Any ideas where to look?

Thank you Regards, HW

Maybe 10 years ago I used Thunderbird on my iMac. - I use Thunderbird at work and decided I miss some of the more advanced features that are not in Apple Mail on my iMac at home. - Especially after reading that Thunderbird could now share both iCloud's Apple Calendar and Contacts. - I am currently using Mac OS 10.11.6. A little behind the times, but I have been using apps that wouldn't run on the newer Mac OS. - Before installing the new version, I opened the old version of Thunderbird, went to the Tools/Account Settomgs and found the directory in the Mac OS library that needed deleted. and deleted it. I did this because most of my logins and settings have changed a lot and I want to import the current local folders and settings from the current version of Apple Mail. I use my email local folders extensively as a type of database to keep a history of purchases and other important information in the local folders. - I then used App Cleaner to delete the ten year old version of Thunderbird and the support files that were not part of the library folder, such as the actual application, Thunderbird. - I then downloaded and installed Thunderbird 60.31.1. Launched it. Chose not to make it my default because I want to make sure it works first. then went to tools/import and noticed I didn't have the the option to Import Everything. See Jpg. attached. - Then decided to try to import just the Mail. Chose Apple Mail. then Next. Got the No Mailboxes were found in the import message. Again, see the jpg. I did the same for the settings and got the "No Application or file to import data from was found" error message. See yet another jpg. I clicked Finish and went to the forums to search for a solution, but found nothing. So here I am. -what did I miss in this setup, migration from Apple Mail and Integration with contacts and Calendar (iCloud based)? Thank you for your assistance.

I couldn't get any of my screen shots to upload. Sorry.

Hi,

I have used Thunderbird for some years and it works well for me. I don't do anything fancy, just mail, calendar and tasks as a stand-alone user.

I'm migrating to a new pc. - I downloaded and installed Thunderbird. - I did not create any email accounts at this point. - I copied my profile from my old pc as per Mozilla support guidance. - Open Thunderbird - Now I can see my mail, folders and layouts perfectly.

But I cannot see anything at all to do with Events and Tasks. - Tools-Addons says Lightning is installed. - No 'Events and Tasks' in menu bar - No 'Calender' tab in Tools-Addon options-Lightning - No 'Events and Tasks' panel

From 'Events and Tasks' tab on old pc I have exported calendar (Home.ics) ready to import to new pc but I can see no option to import this.

I'm sure I must have done something wrong. I would be most grateful for any advice. I am not a tecchie; I am but a basic user.

thanks john

This is a new install on my laptop. Almost everything on my office PC synched up on the laptop except T-bird. I loaded it and it found my credentials but it keeps asking me to sign in with Google. I enter my User ID and click next but nothing happens. What am I doing wrong or what is T-bird not doing?

I am trying to setup Thudnerbird to retrieve my Outlook365 emails from the University.

The software has been able to validate the servers, IMAP and SMTP, however when testing I receive an error message saying the the "Username or Password is invalid".

I don't know how much this relates but I am afraid the Micorosoft accounts through school use some kind of double authentication or similar.

Any help will be greatly appreciate it.

Help! TB 60 continuously crashes on all of our machines so we're using 52.9 until the bug is figured out, BUT TB insists on auto-updating to version 60 despite turning off auto-update settings. These are the exact non-default update settings we have. Can you help me figure out why TB continues to auto-update?

user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.channel", ""); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1536598499); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 1536598626); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1536598371); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1536599735); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.telemetry_modules_ping", 0); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification", 1536599607); user_pref("app.update.migrated.updateDir", true); user_pref("app.update.service.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.showInstalledUI", false);

I want to manage, send and receive Skypeᵀᴹ messages and calls in Thunderbird. Is it possible? And is possible to chat privately with a Thunderbirdᵀᴹ address, similar to peer-to-peer private chats?

I have installed and am running Thunderbird on my new laptop, and would like to use the profile from my old computer. I have followed the instructions provided, and copied the profile (renamed) into the folder on the new laptop. When I run "thunderbird.exe-p" I receive a message "cannot find Thunderbird.exe-p" and asked to try again, but without success. I would be grateful for help on this problem. With thanks Alan

I have a batch of .eml files from a previous Windows Live Mail that I want to move to my Thunderbird Local Folder (V 52.7.0). I read that you can drag and drop these files but I do not know where to drop them in Thunderbird. Can anyone assist please.

Trying to download Thunderbird for email. I used my normal AOL details ie email and password but it didn't recognise. Do I need new/different details at this point?

I, and with many others, have the following problem: If I want to create a gmail account in Thunderbird via IMAP, I will arrive at the following screen:

see word doc. 

Whatever I click or do not react in test. We have tried several gmail acoount. All account work via login on the site. Everything that is mentioned on the internet does not work. The security through the site has also been reduced. All virus scanners are disabled, Java updated or reinstalled. And again: many more people have this problem, but no one has received a solution. What else can we (I) do?

I had 59.0b1 running, but Attachment Extractor & Walnut Add-ons not supported. So per help suggestion to my earlier question & "http://kb.mozillazine.org/Go_back_to_an_old_version_of_Firefox", downloaded 52.6.0. Exited TBird, deleted my old profile in %APPDATA%. Copied old xxx.default profile over an earlier copy for insurance - some error messages "same filename". Installed new TBird version.

Walnut now works - great! Attachment Extractor still not supported..

Now all the hundred or so emails in my Inbox are gone, just downloaded a few new ones. Address books are gone.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

I need to import MBOX file from Google Takeout.

When I import the Import Export Tools add-on from file, the file browser shown is not my Chromebook's locally saved files.

How do I install the add-on?

Best, Antonio

I've just copied a file of contacts from my tablet and want to add the contents to my Thunderbird Address Book. There doesn't seem to be any easy way of doing this. Can anyone help? And why doesn't Mozilla include an Import facility as many people must transfer from Outlook or other email program to Thunderbird?

I run Mac OS X version 10.11.6, El Capitan. I have used Apple's Mail.app for many years. I'm trying to convert to Thunderbird, version 52.5.2. I have successfully created a TB account, but I have not been able to create usable copies of any of my Mail.app mailboxes in TB.

I have faithfully followed "Importing Apple Mail messages" in the page titled "Switching from Apple Mail to Thunderbird". That method thinks it works, but imports exactly 0 mailboxes.

I also went through all of "Install, Migrate and Update" multiple times, but nothing there helps.

Finally, I tried TB's Events and Tasks --> Import... path, but that processes only files of types .ics (for calendars) .csv "Outlook Comma Separated Values (*.csv)" (or .ics for calendars).

I did discover that Mail.app has an "Export Mailbox..." option, which will produce a mname.mbox directory for each exported mailbox. I've tried getting TB to use that as input by copying it to the Local Folders directory before starting TB. TB somewhat recognizes the .mbox folders that are there, but it doesn't show the mail to me when I select them.

So the question is: How DO I get my current mail copied to TB?

Can current Thunderbird (52.5.2) still import old mail from Outlook Express (on Windows XP SP3)?

Or should I try to install an older version like v38.5.0?

I also have my mail in Outlook 2003 & 2007, but I read Thunderbird hasn't been able to import from a .PST for a long time (since v.17 or so). Let me know if I'm on the right track (and which track is best). I stuck with Outlook far too long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My Thunderbird account was deleted from my laptop during a reset. I re-installed it and successfullyre-installed my gmail email but was told my plusnet email was not recognised, though it had been on the previous Thunderbird account.

When trying to configure thunderbird to work with our website, no matter what we do, it keeps producing error messages, even though everything is correct, and will not finish the configuration. And others that worked previously have ceased working all together. We have tried both SSL and Non SSL, both username as simple portion before the @ and with the full address. have tried both imap.txprioritythree.com and mail.txprioritythree.com and does not work.
