Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Thunderbird

I'm down to the last few days before Outlook will not be usable on Thunderbird unless I jump through some hoops.

I've seen posts about deleting the Outlook account, then reinstalling it in Thunderbird and Thunderbird will create the necessary security steps to make it usable again. This seems to be the method that works rather than just going into the settings and changing the necessary security settings.

MY QUESTION IS: I have lots of emails (sent and received from past months and years) that I keep in folders within Thunderbird.

How can I keep those folders/emails in the format I have if it's necessary to delete the account on Thunderbird then reestablish it? My understanding is that deleting it in Thunderbird will also delete all local folders and email saved within that account.

Personal emails exhibit no problem. When I send emails to corporations via Thunderbird they do not now receive them. If I re-send them via Gmail, they do. Seems to me there must be some new elements added to Thunderbird that triggers corporate system screening rejection.

Been a long time Thunderbird user. This situation has just recently developed.

Is there a fix on my end?

I use Thunderbird on Windows 10; I have a verizon.net email account which I access through Thunderbird. Verizon.net email is transferred to the server from AOL Mail, and I have been able to get and send my emails on Thunderbird at verizon.net for years. This week, after Thunderbird's latest update, I have not received any incoming mail on Thunderbird, but I can see my emails on AOL Mail. The technical expert I consulted deduced that the problem is with Thunderbird such that AOL is not connecting to the incoming mail server, even after the password was changed. I can send messages successfully from Thunderbird; the outgoing mail works.

The following Thunderbird file is 367 mb in size:

global-messages-db.sqlite

It is located in this folder:

C:\Users\bkoop\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\oxvn9h8y.default

What is it used for? Can it be deleted so it will be recreated and grow starting at a smaller size?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) to download email messages from https://outlook.live.com using POP3.

I've been trying for weeks to switch Thunderbird from normal password to OAuth2 before outlook stops allowing normal password access to their server on September 16. But when I do that Thunderbird just stalls and doesn't download any messages. But if I switch back to normal password, then messages resume downloading.

I've uploaded a screenshot of my server settings.

My Maingear laptop bluescreens, I can boot via USB stick and have been able to copy off the files from c:\Users\(account name)\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird.

I purchased a new Microsoft Surface Pro and installed Thunderbird, but I can not find this same data folder. I can make the troubleshooting information from the Surface Pro if that would be helpful.

I've had this email program for maybe 40 years or more.Recently it changed the storing of incoming emails by piling them together in one subject line. This has resulted in unbelievable confusion. It's a disaster when solving problems with multiple people or multiple emails. If one needs to look back, it's becomes an impossibility. Whoever thought of changing the system of saving emails is a moron and has put me in a position of having to search for a better way to have emails in my business. I literally hate the new Thunderbird.

Need Help......I am cleaning up a laptop hard drive to free up space and make sure all is up to date, and I have the new version of Thunderbird installed but I cannot uninstall the old version. I keep getting an error message. See attached image.

Thank you in advance! Jean

Dear Team,

first, let me tell you how happy I am with Thunderbird. However...

Can the storage space be somehow expanded? I am on 98% right now and I would really like to avoid deleting any emails. Can I e.g. buy more space etc.?

Thank you, Jacob.

We had to link Thunderbird with yahoo by 16 September. We linked with yahoo this morning and now we cannot receive or send any emails. The emails that we do have are from 2017 and later we have none of our current emails. they are all gone. The emails are not in the yahoo account either. How do we get our emails back?

I tried changing the authentication method to OAUTH2 for my Outlook live mail account (POP). For that, I had to change the server name to office365.com. After restarting Thunderbird, I was able to download new messages but all the old messages already stored in Thunderbird disappeared, even though Thunderbird still shows the same old Local Directory as being used.

How do I change the authentication to OAUTH2 & get my old messages back?

If I delete & again create the Outlook live account, would it effect my old mails/filters ?

Hello, I have spent considerable time scouring help forums, but still unable to resolve. I am running Windows 10 that is fully patched, and most recent version of Thunderbird.

In my recent attempt to setup gmail; - I used Chrome as default browser with default security settings - I turned off 2fa in Google - I turned off VPN - I left gmail password blank during account setup in TB - authentication initially fails during setup, so I then select manual config and normal password. This allows TB to supposedly complete gmail account setup successfully. - browser opens up requesting TB access to gmail, (Allowed Apps in Google include TB) - I change gmail server settings to Oauth2 and restart TB - The saved passwords in TB only list an Oauth2 pwd for calendar, but no entry for email.

How do I get TB to request and store credential for imap.gmail.com?

Thank you for your help, Jeff

Since the latest update 128.2.0 I am getting message "The certificate for pop3.go-plus.net is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue." when I try to receive emails. Everything worked fine up until today, even though I had to click an "Certificate Exemption" box after re-starting. How can I get to receive emails? They appear to send ok.

Using TB 115.15. When I delete a number of messages, then empty the trash, I cannot delete another message until I restart Thunderbird. Is there a limit as to the number of emails I can trash prior to emptying the trash?

i do not use tb any more. i've been using gmail web site for a number of years. I have transferred all my emai files to gmail, so I don't need tb any more BUT when I use windows explorer to 'send copy to', it opens tb. so, how do i fix tks
