Twice recently Thunderbird has failed to download messages that I know are there. Even if I click the Download button they do not get downloaded. If I restart Thunderbird, they get downloaded upon startup. Then messages continue to get downloaded at least for a while.

I'm at Thunderbird 115.8.1

When I open Account Settings there is no information there regarding incoming server settings. Where can I find those settings?

This is a gmail account, but I don't know whether the problem would affect other gmail accounts.

I have an old computer with email from an account that the name@domain is still a valid email address but I moved servers. The account on that computer is pointing to a server that doesn't exist anymore. I have a new Thunderbird account on the new computer with that same email address pointing to a new server. If I use the Import/Export feature and copy over the profile and import the account to the new computer will it mess up the connection to the new server? I just want to merge the old emails with the new ones so I don't have to look in two different computers to see my old emails. Otherwise can I rename the account on the old computer before I copy it and import it to the new computer?

As an alternative, can I copy over the entire old profile to the new computer and then just "switch" profiles when I want to look at the old emails? If so how would I switch profiles?

Please provide some detailed instructions on how to do this.

I'm building a new laptop to replace my old, and have both installed Thunderbird on the new computer and have copied over the entire MAIL folder for my Profile.

All my subfolders appear and all seem to contain what they should...except my INBOX. The INBOX appears, but it is empty. The INBOX file that came over with what I migrated is around 2.9MB, so it sure isn't empty.

How do I fix this to be able to use my new laptop with my proper INBOX?

Thanks!

I'm running Thunderbird 115.8.1 (64-bit). On Jan. 29 I left the beta program after several years to return to the release version because of problems with the beta at that time.

Last year, still in TB Beta, I had switched my two email accounts from POP to IMAP. At that time I moved all my mail folders (except inbox, trash, and other system folders), and about 14 years of archives, to the Local Folders account to avoid the cost of storing them on a mail server. There were no problems. At year end I archived my 2023 emails from my folders in Local Folders to my archive in Local Folders, preserving the folder structure, and everything worked normally.

When I left TB Beta a month later I tried to replicate my folders, including the archive folder, in the new profile for TB 115. Then I manually moved folders from my TB beta profile to my new profile folder (C:/Users/billf/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/84xm6dz9.default-release/Mail/Local Folders/). The folders showed up within Thunderbird, then some of them disappeared briefly but then reappeared. A few days later about 80% of my folders, including the archive folder, vanished completely and haven't returned. I checked the file system and they were gone.

Today I tried again, restoring several .sbd folders and .msf files - most importantly the archive - from my HD backup from mid-February when everything had seemed to be working. They're still in the file system - so far - but none of these folders are now visible in TB. The account settings for Local Folders don't mention archiving at all.

I hope someone can tell me how to get my old folders and especially the archive back, and stable. (As I rebuild my folder structure in TB I'm giving the folders new names so they won't be overwritten if my folders from January come back.)

hello, I cant find a way to limit the download speeds on the Firefox browser, any and all downloads instantly use all my bandwidth, making downloading large files a hassle and stop me from using the internet for anything else. I tried looking into extensions and add-ons but none of them could solve my problem. I wish to set a download speed limit on my browser so I may still use it while downloading large files.

The setup screen popped up when I tried to start Thunderbird. I had to reset Windows 10 and doing so my Thunderbird disappeared. I am using High Contrast mode and sometimes white text gets hidden in a background color. I was kind of expecting a text message. As I progressed through the set up screen I get error messages when I try to click on Done. Above the Done box is some blue text that I can't read clearly. The blue text generates a message about IMAP already being there when I click on Done. There appears to be no correct way to click on Done. When I click on Cancel my email pops up with Local Folders highlighted. When I click on Inbox it looks like every thing is back to normal. I do want to ask someone to add a vertical scrollbar to the setup screen. Otherwise I have to go through the Windows Setting screens to resize everything to get it to fit on my desktop. This also requires changing my font size for some reason. At this point I am becoming really frustrated with Windows 10 - which Mozilla has nothing to do with.

Hi,

I've updated to Sonoma on Mac and unable to start Thunderbird 115.8.1 (64-bit) which uses an external drive for my mail accounts. I'm getting the following error in console:

System Policy: thunderbird(2230) deny(1) file-write-create /Volumes/ExternalDrive/Mail/Thunderbird/Profiles/abcdef123.default/.parentlock

There is no .parentlock file, and it looks like some problem with SIP permissions. I thought I could force it to re-request permissions with:

tccutil reset SystemPolicyRemovableVolumes org.mozilla.thunderbird

...but no luck.

Any idea how I can either a) force it to request the SystemPolicyRemovableVolumes permission, or otherwise fix the issue?

Thanks,

Bramble

Hello, I have migrated my thunderbird onto a new windows system but I now get not automatic download of messages, the only messages I might get is if I close down Thunderbird and reopen. Get messages does not do anything - not even sure its attempting to communicate with server .

Is there anything I can do or change ? I have literally spent almost trying various things and I am the point of giving up and trying a completely different email client. There should be a seamless migration method but it appears there is not.

I have used TB for a long time now and never had this problem. If I configure it on a new PC (Win 10 Pro) to get mail from a zoho hosted account, hitting mail download generates a bit of activity at the bottom of the window but no emails downloaded (I have checked there is one there) and no errors. I've disabled AV and no change. I'd like to see the POP3 traffic to try and diagnose the problem. How do I do that please? There seem to have been various generations of how this was done and the help is confusing - I've tried what I think are latest instructions but don't see an error console. Is there simply a way of getting the traffic spat into a text file please?
