I saw an ad inviting me to download Thunderbird Release. Not sure if this is something I should do. My settings on Thunderbird state I have all the updates but it sounds like this may be a better version of Thunderbird. The current version of Thunderbird I have is Version 140.1 but it is problematic at times because text that I copy from Word and try to paste into Thunderbird for e-mails does not copy properly with font and spacing. Maybe Thunderbird Release will be an improvement.

How do I know whether to download Release? Please advise. Thank you.

Hi, Updating Ubuntu 24.03 to 23.10 something went wrong and the disk is no longer bootable. All the files appear to be there, but since its not bootable I can't export the data in the normal fashion.

I installed Ubuntu 24.04.3 LTS on a new disk, and mounted the unbootable disk on /oldDisk. My home directory and everything else appears to be intact.

What do I need to move from /oldDisk to the new install to get my address book and emails back?

until I get this fixed you can email me: <redacted>@evvette.net as my account address won't work... thanx in advance, Steve

Hello,

I am writing this question concerning the new Thunderbird notification I received recently, prompting me to update to the Release Channel. Since I installed the client from the Microsoft Store, will it get automatically updated to the previous channel or will I have to do it manually? If I am not mistaken, to move between channels you need to do it yourself. How will this work with the Store version?

Thank you for your time.

My old desktop PC video & audio died, so I installed the C drive into a new desktop PC as the 'F' drive. How can I copy my previous TBird email & addresses from the F drive to the new TBird location on the C drive? btw - I'm surprised that the fix for this common occurence isn't already in the on-line troubleshooting info.

I am trying to import a .csv file saved from a spreadsheet as a new address book. It has only 3 fiels, Name Number and email address. It all works up to the point where I click on Finish. The resultant file does not contain the data which shows correctly when I step through the import process. It seems to collect whatever is in front of the @ symbol in the email field and put it into the Name field and nothing appears in the Number field, although the email field appears to transfer correctly.

Importing folders from eM client Problem

I seem to be able to Export my storage folders from eM client to my hard-drive in Becky format. Explorer shows a main folder and 80 sub-folders all containing quantities of e-mails. Thunderbird Imports the main folder and all the sub-folders but none of the actual e-mails. As a one day user, I managed successfully and easily to load three e-mail accounts but transferring my essential stored e-mail has proved impossible so far. I was able to transfer my contacts successfully but not my distribution lists. Any suggestions on how to do this from eM client to Thunderbird would be appreciated.
