Hello all!

Me and my colleagues are using Thunderbird already 5-6 years. We are very happy with it!

Until Supernova ... It was like a jam full of "flavors" ... however ... All my colleagues use it ( I don't know how?, in my opinion they just don't give a ****, or exist on other planet ) ... except me and one other person.

ON QUESTION !

So on 1st PC updates are disabled in Registry via "DisableAppUpdate" and there are no signs of this Supernova! On 2nd PC is just like this, but on 22.03 thunderbird updated itself! Steps that I made are these :

1. Deleted compatibility.ini 2. Downgraded to 102.15 3. Created distribution folder with policies.json (will copy text below the post) got them from : https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/ 4. Renamed updater.exe 5. Created more registry entries /// "AppAutoUpdate"- 0, ExtentionUpdate - 0 6. Uninstalled maintenance.exe

After all this thunderbird is working just fine. I restarted PC several times, made a shutdown - all OK. Until the next morning. And every morning I just added more settings I founded in internet until I ended here. Today is day 4. And same again ...

Please for some help.

Best Regards,

bold text4 or 5 years ago i simply synced TB and Firefox straight to my laptop from my desktop. Today it does not seem to work that way. Why has it gotten more complicated? I have all of my emails, address's and etc.saved profile and cannot seem to replace it. I tried the thunderbird.exe -p and it gets confusing there. Apparently it does not give one the option to replace profile like mine, but one can create one. I tried creating by entering my old Profile and it did not work. It says to use the Browse button which should bring you to the actual spot to add your profile. I do not see a 'Browser" button, but do see 2 separate folders buttons, but i do not know which to choose, if any. I have donated in the past when things were working smoothly, but discourged to add to it now with all these upgrade mess's. Like they say, "if it ain't broken, leave it alone..." s amd

Hi there!

I have 20+ email accounts on my Thunderbird, Mac os and some are from my old websites that aren't functional anymore, but I would love to back up the data as there's quiet of useful / business info in them.

So, is it possible to just back up selected accounts from Thunderbird, instead of backing up the entire profile of 30+GBs?

If yes, how ? and will I be able to restore them later ?

Regards Manas

Hello dear Thunderbird members.

Please, I would like your assistance to the following issue.

It's about when creating an existing account on Thunderbird application. Creating a Google mail account, or Yahoo! account (IMAP setting up). Or creating on POP3 module my mail account that I have on my internet provider.

So, the question/problem is, when I create account, all settings are being created (settings I mean incoming mail server, ports, etc), the authentication of username and password is passed, and finally account is created, with inbox folder, and immediately automatic getting messages begins. And, all other folders under inbox are being created/loaded. What I want to ask is if there is a technique, after account creation, only the inbox folder to be created empty, then not starting an automatic getting messages, and only if I click on inbox folder or press the get messages button, just then, the getting messages and folders begin. Just something like say disable automatic getting messages when creating existing account.

Is there any way to make this?

Thank you for your time!

Hello,

I have several email accounts stored on a different internal hard drive, when I say stored I mean choosing a different location in the thunderbird account settings for each email to store the mail boxes, filter rules etc.

I sent my machine back in for repairs and long story short the OS drive ended up being wiped. From what I've seen, in order to import the email profiles which seem to be stored on the OS under approaming or something similar.

I'm struggling to find a way to import my existing accounts with what I have on my other drive. Any ideas on how I might be able to do this?

Running Thunderbird v115.9.0 (64-bit)

Recently I started to receive emails in my SPAM folder from an IMAP account. I have had this account for 10+ years and never had emails in SPAM. The setting on the actual account is set to SPAM off. Junk is turned off on Thunderbird.

Any ideas as to why this is starting to happen? Was there a change in a Thunderbird update?

TIA!

How can I get Thunderbird to store all emails on my local laptop, in addition to leaving them on the google gmail on the google server, instead of only storing headers and having to go back to gmail. If I want to open an email thunderbird will often take considerable time to download the email (again) in order for me to read it. This takes considerable time, and Thunderbird is busy waiting....so I can't do anything else in the meantime. Thanks, Rick
