Not sure if I picked the correct topic for this...

I had to reinstall Windows 11 on my PC as the old copy was corrupt to the point I could not install updates, even with Microsoft's help. Before I made the plunge, I used Tools -> Export to create a zip file on my D:. After installing Thuderbird on the rebuilt copy, I went to Tools -> Import to recover everything.

About 19% in, I received error "Import failed unexpectedly, more information may be available in the Error Console." I found the Error Console but don't know how top proceed.

I have an image copy of my old installation. Can I simply locate the Thunderbird profile on the backup and restore it?

I have everything I need from my old machine except my e-mail filters. If I copy the whole profile I will lose all of the sent messages and saved messages I have generated since I got Thunderbird up and running on my new machine.

On my Windows 11 laptop, in Thunderbird v 148.0.1, I changed the entries for Accounts>"Your name" for all of my accounts. I then Tools>Export the settings to a file. It was reported as 1.97Gigs, and Krusader displayed it as 1.9Gigs.

On my Linux laptop, I imported the settings into Linux Thunderbird v 140.9.0esr (64-bit). It did not import the new names. When I attempted to edit them, Account Settings mode says "Account name already exists" and appends _2 to the account name.

I forgot to make a backup before I undertook this.

How can I fix this?

Version 153 brought account colors to the desktop app.

Is there any smoother way to transfer just these settings, no more, no less, to other machines, other than copying the whole profile? I'm using TB on 3 different pc's, of which one has a special profile.

Right now I made screenshots of all 7 accounts + color. I can do it by hand but that's rather cumbersome.

I am a regular Firefox user and I really appreciate the security and privacy features you provide. I would like to request a new feature that would make password management even more convenient: the ability to import saved passwords from other browsers or from a password file (for example, a CSV or JSON export) directly into Firefox.

At the moment, when switching from another browser or setting up a new device, I have to either manually enter each password or rely on third‑party tools, which can be time‑consuming and less secure. If Firefox allowed importing passwords from common formats, it would greatly improve the user experience and make it easier to move to Firefox without losing existing login data.

I understand that this must be done with strong security checks, such as requiring the user to confirm each imported login and ensuring that the process is encrypted and safe. If this feature is not planned yet, I kindly ask you to consider it for a future release.

Thank you for your hard work and for listening to user feedback.

I have a window home computer that was upgraded from w10 to w11. I had to buy a new w11 machine at my vacation home because the old one was not upgradeable. I was successful in moving the profile from home to vacation home. But a month later I corrupted w11 on my new vacation machine while loading my earlier version of Adobe Photoshop from their instilling disk. W11 could not be repaired and I had to reinstall new w11 while keeping my files etc. This time Thunderbird would not let me move/use my old profile file. No mater what I tried!!

In the past, I've always moved the profile file "Thunderbird" in Appdata file to the new machine and renaming the installed Thunderbird file with XXX after it. It always worked in the past. My profile file is over 2mb. I've tried using all of the logical import options in this new instillations and only get error messages that it could not import the data and to look at the error console? Which I don't know where that is located. I will look for it in w11.

I think that the only difference (which I don't think should make a difference) is the directory name file difference after "users"

Any help would be much appreciated!!!!!!!

I have been using Thunderbird for 20+ years, maybe as many as 30. Forever. I have moved my profile across several versions of Windows and multiple computers. There are files in the root of the profile with a modified date of 2009. There may be older ones in sub-directories. There are 18 folders and 125 files. I suspect a lot of this is clutter left over from earlier versions of Thunderbird. In the Mail folder alone there are several hundred files and folders excluding the WDSEML files and actual emails.

I'm toying with the idea of starting fresh with a clean install of Thunderbird and getting on the correct release channel but I don't want to bring along what appear to be hundreds or thousands of unused files and folders.

I there anyone that can identify what profile files and folders to keep and what can be deleted?

Thanks for your consideration.

I use Thunderbird on my older Macbook Air, which I am replacing with q new Mac laptop. I have a huge record of emails in many folders on the old computer and want the same thing on the new computer. I have done this many times in the past between a desktop and a laptop Mac with no issues. But something seems to have changed.

I installed the program, I tried to transfer the profile from the old computer to the new computer, and deleted the older profile. I tried to open Thunderbird and it tells me the profile is missing or inaccessible. I deleted the .ini file but that just makes me do a set up again. I used to do this all the time between my other Macs and it was super simple. Now it's a nightmare and doesn't work at all.

So how do we transfer all saved email, folders and server into etc from on computer to a different computer?

Someone suggested BetterBird would be better for me than Thunderbird, but I'm not sure it was the right decision. They said I should be able to just open Thunderbird and it should work as they have the same base code, but it doesn't. Any ideas? I have 8 email accounts, so I'd hate to start from scratch.

Hello.

I wanted to download Firefox as a way to get rid of Google. Only, when I installed Firefox, it says "Browse with Google or type in address." I do not want Google. I wanted to just install my visited sites and passwords and be done with it. I've uninstalled Firefox and re-installed it only to be the same thing. I was hoping to also grab the passwords from Microsoft Edge and have just Firefox.

What am I doing wrong? Please Help!

I am moving away from Windows -- at least temporarily. I have purchased a Linux desktop CPU and would like to bring my Firefox bookmarks and settings. Is that possible? And secondly, I did have FIREFOX set up on this Linux, but something changed today -- it turned to all black and white, no color whatsoever. How can I get back to the page I set up?

I currently have the following:

Mozilla Thunderbird version 152.0.1 (64-bit) installed on a Windows 11 Pro computer. Within this installation are five E-Mail accounts configured and working.

I have selected Export for Mobile.

On Android (Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra - 5G) One UI Version: 8.5 Android: 16 Kernel: 6.1.145-android14-11-33419968-abS928USQS6DZF2

Thunderbird Version: 20.0

I click on the Import Settings: Try to scan the QR Code from my laptop which says 1 of 2 QR Codes and I get nothing. No pop-ups, no approvals, it just sits there. Clicking done takes me back to the main screen.

Obwohl ich schon mehrere Konten die ich auf meinem PC in Thunderbird angelegt habe per QR Code auf mein Android Gerät exportiert habe, erkennt Thunderbird Mobile nun den Code nicht mehr nachdem ich ein neues Konto hinzugefügt habe. Das Konto funktioniert auf dem PC perfekt, lässt sich auf dem Android Gerät aber auch nicht manuell hinzufügen
