AutoConfig doesn't connect (shows the screen immediately) and Mail.com will not authenticate (done manually) ONLY ON WINDOWS 8 (other Windows versions work well) What is going on? I was able to take the same exact login credentials and successfully logged into mail.com, when Thunderbird did not. I have 2 other computers XP and Windows 7, that have no issues. Checked Windows Firewall, and Thunderbird is allowed to get in and out. I'm on an Acer Aspire (V5-122p), which has Windows 8 and AMD A4 (dual 1.00). Is it possibly a new Thunderbird version with an issue?

Note I have gotten about.com's mail.com info for SMTP and Pop3, but none worked.

How do I permanently stop getting this warning: Mozilla Thunderbird Not Responding? Installing and Reinstalling Mozilla Thunderbird ineffecive. Deleting cookies and temporary internet fies and history in effective.

Some while way back when I created & exported my address book as an LDIF file, lots of these links had the option for show remote content checked. As the list has grown the file has been re-exported as LDIF to keep it up to date

When I import the file for a clean profile, the remote content check box's have been reset. Needless to say as the list grows the number of contacts to reset also.

Is this unchecked by default for security reasons, Setting stored in some other file? Any way to import with this setting in tact

Recently i have changed my OS and I have taken backup of the thunderbird's folder. Now I have successfully installed thunderbird in my new OS but I am able restore my all the accounts. Tell me how can I utilize my backup data of previous thunderbird accounts. Please reply as soon as possible its really urgent.

As the question asks, how can I set the program to automatically add new email address from messages to my address book. Other email programs can be set up to do this. If this can't be done in Firefox, why not. It's the best email program otherwise.

My original disk lost its XP Pro, so I got a new PC. I can still access most files on my old disk, as it is now attached via an external enclosure, but I cannot find how to get access to my old Thunderbird inbox. "File Transfer Wizard" is missing, and MS Search is broken and won't start. T'Bird works fine on the new disk/PC, but I need to look up some correspondence on the old disk. Is there some file I can point T'Bird to, that will contain my old emails ? Can I somehow merge the old and current files so I can search on a subject or person ?

when trying to attach pictures etc the wait circle spins but nothing happens. it won't go to docs or pictures to aquire the item it just sits and spins. i am operating windows 8/8.1 and wonder if this is another compatability issue. i appearantly am not the only one with this problem

I need to scrape data out of some 1000+ emails. How can I most easily gather the content of these emails and either push them into a text file or process them with a script?

Thanks

I have latest version of FF and MacBook Pro 10.9.2. Recently had major keychain problems and worked a lot with Apple to solve them. Now all is well but…. I am now frequently asked to enter my master password when I am in FF; they has never happened before. For example, when I go to Amazon, a window opens asking for the master pw. In some cases, this is not a big deal because I can cancel the request and my keychain will get me into the site. In other cases, my keychain does not work if I cancel the request for the MPW and I have to enter my access information. I asked Apple support about this, and they said to contact you.

I'm speaking here of the way the date of various emails received are displayed in my inbox. I have a / between the month and the day and a / after the day, but I have no / between the year and the month.

In order to switch from one profile to another I must close one and re-open thunderbird for the other profile. Is there a way to switch from one to the other without closing thunderbird?

A few months ago my ability to use different fonts, colors and sizes suddenly disappeared. These choices were always available when looking at my email and I used them regularly . No one I asked ever heard of such a thing happening. I left it alone until I found someone to help. Then, a few days ago, when I clicked "write" , two things happened. First, I could not forward, reply or even see my collected email addresses. Second, there was no longer a place that said "send". My email page filled the entire screen and when I scaled it down, there was still no way to see my list or to send. I am a novice when it comes to fixes and terms but, I have asked people who have some experience with PC's they were stumped. I contacted Fairpoint and they said it must be a Thunderbird problem. Most of the people I asked said they didn't know Thunderbird. One suggested that I reinstall T.bird but, said I also might lose everything on my PC. I would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks, Jim
