Hi there,

My email provider has just migrated my email address to a new server, which all went smoothly in the end. I thought that would be the hard part but it's actually Thunderbird that is giving me headaches.

I can send and receive mails fine but need to set up my Thunderbird folders again and copy in all my old emails. In other words, a new account has been set up for the same email address and I have kept the old account for the same email address until I have copied out everything I need from it.

But copying folders and mails doesn't always work and there seems to be absolutely no logic behind it - sometimes it works and something it doesn't.

Thunderbird won't let me copy my "Customers" folder with 30 subfolders in it so I have to do each of these manually. Again, some work, some don't.

Most of the time, an error message or three pops up because the old address wants me to enter my password again, which is no longer valid. And that usually scuppers any attempt to copy a folder manually.

I have unticked the three boxes under account settings so that it doesn't look for new mails every X minutes, when starting up, etc.

Is there any clever way I can avoid all this? Would it help if I did all this offline?

And does anyone know why the blasted folders are so difficult to copy?!!

Very grateful for any tips - thanks,

Ian

the "fix" [browser.tabs.showAudioPlayingIcon] does not work. I do not want the system to automute my work. I want to continue to listen to instructions, communications, music when I change tabs

Currently, when setting up spam filters, Thunderbird allows one to to set a condition. Would it not be possible to add an AND field to that. For example, I often get spam emails of the form "BankName interest rate changes". While I can set a filter to ignore any Subject that contains the work BankName it does not help if BankName is my actual bank. It would be useful to be able to create a filter such as: Send to junk if subject contains BankName AND email does not contain BankName.com.

Just a suggestion.

Many thanks -Ian

For the last month or so, whenever I open a new page there's a long delay where nothing happens. I tried disabling the extensions but it still happens. My Firefox (Android) is up to date and I can share a video and other relevant info. Thanks

Hello,

Thunderbird is not sending e-mail for my account. I am getting a message stating "Connection to Outgoing Server (SMTP) timed out".

I tried sending an email through another program and didn't get an error message. This is only happening with Thunderbird - which is the main program I use for e-mail.

Please let me know how I can resolve this issue.

I've done all the troubleshooting I could find, including: Uninstalling, tried using beta ff, disabled hardware acceleration, disabled/removed all extensions, memtest, updated various drivers. Still frequent tab crashes Tried two other browsers and neither of those had any issues. No crashing on edge or duckduck. Currently using a nightly build, tried ff safe mode, tried pc safe mode, still crashing.

Hello,

I realized while connecting to a website that my connection data (username and password) won't fill automatically. I then check my passwords in my Mozilla account : all is empty...

I wonder if there is a way to recover all those passwords?

I cannot check if the passwords are still saved in the second device for the moment.

Thanks for your help.

Every time I compose emails I find a copy showing unread in my trash folder. The messages are being sent out properly so that is a good thing. Is there a setting I have set incorrectly? Thank you, Rick

Very often it happens to me that I'm not able to tell whether I'm at the beginning or at the end of a document. The scrollbar colors displayed by Firefox do not provide enough distinctive information to tell. (See images attached.)

From the 80's 'til the 10's we had 3D scrollbars with outset borders giving the impression of a raised scrollbar … for a reason.

Is there a setting to have Firefox display 3D scrollbars on Windows?

I have tagged an email in my inbox with the Personal tag (and several others are also tagged). See the first image. When I display the folder for Personal tags, that email is not included in the list. See the second image. How can I fix this?

Mozilla Thunderbird support Having asked the other day why password keep being requested even when they are known to be correct. Dave answered that they need to be changed, having done these two accounts worked for a short time then the whole situation came back. Can some body find a better solution please. They are both BT internet accounts, Many thanks, Keith

Give tips to reverse above prob. I haven't been able to drag messages from one folder to duplicated folder. The frustration is that the duplicates do not necessarily have total content !! HELP

Hello everyone,

Listen, I don't understand. I just asked the question, it was published, but once I closed my account, it disappeared.

1 - I would like to disable updates for a specific add-on. Do you know how to do this ? I couldn't find anything in the GitHub help files for commands in Policies.json.

2 - I have another question, in case any of you happen to know the answer. I want to put “my lists” in two columns in µBlock Origin. CSS isn't working for me anymore.

Thank you.

Hi there; I have just read the article about settings on password saving. I am complying with those settings, but yet my logins must be entered constantly, lately. What am I doing wrong? Where do I look next? Thank you.

Hi, I installed the latest iOS update yesterday and afterwards my firefox was mush. I tried reinstalling it already. The symptoms are as following: - can no longer use my 1password extension - YouTube and LinkedIn doesn't load at all anymore - For my agency tool Moco I can see most of the page but the menu is totally hidden to me...

Anyone any ideas what is happening?
