1. How to move mail between two different Macbooks with different OSX and different versions of Thunderbirds?

How do I move my email profiles (there are several) from an old Mac to a new one, when the old Mac can't be upgraded anymore and the Thunderbird versions don't match?

Old Macbook OSX Monteray 12.7.4 can not go any higher on OSX due to hardware not being compatible Thunderbird 140.5 Oesr 64 bit - don't know if it can be updated or not, but expect not. Minimizing run time as much as I can because the fan is going nuts and I think the battery is going - gets very hot.

I copied all the different profile folders from the Old Mac to an external drive. However, I don't think I can just plop them in to the new Profiles folder on the New Mac, given the Thunderbird versions and OSX version don't match.

New Macbook OSX Sonoma 14.1 Thunderbird 153.0.2 aarch64 Not updating to Tahoe yet because then I can't use my 2019 MS Office products - need to save up to update those first

All I need is e-mail - not calendars, contacts etc., although it might be nice to to have those Thanks in advance

2. How to .pdf old emails (With attachments) Also, the profiles folder is huge (219 GB), with multiple profiles and I want to save old emails (with attachments) into .pdf and appreciate advice on what .pdf converter/file converter would be best. It doesn't have to be free. It does need to respect my privacy.

Hello,

I'm running TB128 under Windows 11. I had a boot problem, restored a recent image, and now, when I attempt to launch TB, I get the error below, telling me that a newer version of TB may have made changes to my profile, and that I'm running an incompatible, older version of TB. I've experimented with this situation until my fingers are bleeding, but can't open TB using my newly restored profile.

Any assistance is most appreciated, Lothar

I just noticed on today's upgrade that Thunderbird showed it upgraded in 32 bit but the Help > About field shows 64 bit. Why is it doing that? Do I possibly have an issue or will all be ok, lol. I'm just confused as to why it would do that and want to make sure there is no problems. Thanks for your help...Debb

Urgent! I have just upgraded from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04. Now I can no longer start Thunderbird (there is no error message about this). I have read in various user forums that many other users are experiencing the same or similar problems. The problem is probably with Snap. As email is essential for me, please help me/us quickly. Thank you!

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

I downloaded Thunderbird, but cannot get it to work. I have tried 3 different accounts. One is from "wideopenwwest", one is from "live.com" and one is "icloud.com". Any ideas?

I'm trying to bring all of my Outlook 2007 over to Thunderbird since Office 2007 is no longer supported by MS. I've downloaded 31.8 as directed elsewhere in this group but when I select mail to import, it runs for quite some time (hours) and gets to about 80% on the progress bar then an error window opens that says it can't open a temporary file and save it as a draft. The import process stalls at that point although Thunderbird gives no indication that it has stopped importing. I let t run overnight and the progress bar didn't move any further even though it gave the appearance of being active. The particular file the error message reported does not exist on my computer. See screen dump attached. The "Sent Mail" folders you can see in the screen dump were not imported. They just appeared after I had set up my mail account in Thunderbird. (?) Well, it seems the "add image" function here doesn't work either. It's been saying it's downloading the image for nearly 5 minutes and it's not even 200k, so here's what the error message said - "Unable to save your message as draft. Unable to open the temporary file C:\Users\(me)\AppData\Local\Temp\mapiattach.tmp. Check your 'Temporary Directory' setting." Check the Temporary Directory setting for what, and where is it anyway? Can someone offer any assistance here please?

So, I've read through questions posed for this error, and still cannot get this new email account set up

I am trying to use an email address currently hosted with Godaddy, it is one of those Microsoft 365 Basic Essentials packs that GD forced on us a couple of years ago. Well I'm sick to the back teeth of them changing and updating stuff, so I need to open a new account here at Thunderbird.

Problem is when I enter my email and password in the new account setup, I initially get a 'Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database'. Then when I press DONE, I get the following message

'Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password'

I know the username and password are good, but how do I find out if there is a wrong configuration.

It auto selected POP3 in the available configurations

I turned of my firewall and AV as suggested in some of the comments when brought up previously, it didn';t help

Thanks in advance
