Hi,
i user thunderbird to manage several email accounts. I would like to know how to backup all emails sent / received with their relative attachements ? i already know how to split/archive sent and received emails per year, so i would liketo know how to backup (maybe compress also) all emails ?
Basically i was not able to backup attachements with their relative emails, so i can later on, reimport emails and attachement on another computer or in case of computer crash.
Maybe a plugin could do it. I have thousands of emails and i do not want to loose it.
thx

The Junk Filter seems to be a real challenge to the developers. Searching for solutions I found many Years old questions and possible solutions. It seems no one worked in reality. More than 50 times I declared messages from a specific Subjekt or sender as no Junk. But it's always shown as junk and a new message from the sender is declared as Junk immediately as well. In a short status I would say it is BS!!!

Why TB is getting slower in retrieving emails (gmail/IMAP)?

We have the following setting: LAN with 10 users, all using TB. The TB is set to use IMAP to connect to a G Suite domain and individual email accounts. The LAN is connected internally using an unmanaged Giga switch. The Giga switch is connected to the WAN via a high-speed modern optic fiber link. Earlier, few months ago, the WAN connection was based on a ADSL 100/3 Mbits connection.
Since we have changed the WAN connection, we have started suffering from delays in email retrieval (sending emails out is rather quick). The equipment is top of the line and was tested for performance (internal and external) and it is excellent. The problem is mainly with incoming email to TB and with moving emails in TB between folders.
After many tests, it looks like it has to do with the IMAP link. I wonder if there is a know problem like that? How this can be fixed?
Thank you.

Hello
This is almost the case at all stations in the company. Employees sometimes report me missing emails from Sent or INBOX folders. Mails are not deleted or moved. After logging in to the WebMail (by Web browser) service, emails are visible in individual boxes. The problem is solved by removing the account from Thunderbird, deleting the IMAP Mail directory, setting and synchronizing everything from scratch. Such situations are happening more often.
Please, solve the problem

Hi. I've been using Thunderbird for a year without any problems. I have it installed on my both my desktop and laptop PCs. Thunderbird is working normally on my laptop. But suddenly Thunderbird is not working properly on my desktop PC: I can see all of my Thunderbird folders, but none of the emails stored in those folders are displaying. (Those non-displaying emails continue to show in Thunderbird on my laptop PC and also when I go to my Gmail account through a browser. So the problem is specific to Thunderbird on my desktop PC).
When I try closing and re-opening Thunderbird on my desktop PC, a "Welcome to Thunderbird/Donate to Thunderbird" message appears in the email display window. But when I click on any of my email folders, no emails are displaying.
Background information that may or may not be pertinent: Last night Windows did an automatic software update on my desktop computer. I don't know if that update might somehow have corrupted Thunderbird on my desktop PC.
Thanks for any help or advice!

My friend's computer uses Thunderbird email from an xfinity Imap account.
Thunderbird automatically set up the correct server parameters so ass-u-me-ing that it's setting that up right those settings are correct along with her email address and password.
It started about a month ago she has trouble receiving emails. Out going emails go through just fine since I get her pleas for help. She is 84 yrs old and depends on me for support of her computer.
The program loads and automatically begins downloading new emails with activty circle, but nothing
ever comes in. Looking at her email on xfinity's mail page works just fine and none of the affected
email is spam nor in the spam folder. Restarting the computer fixes the problem but it recurs.
I deleted thunderbird totally and created a new profile on Saturday last week (June 16th) and the problem was gone until yesterday when it began again. She restarted her computer today which fixes it.
It seems that thunderbird is getting stuck in memory while downloading, but why does it take 6 days for this problem to appear?
Also, this may or may not be related. When sending an email it says it cannot write to the sent folder and prompts whether to wait or send the email anyway. She said she tells it to continue without saving the sent message after waiting up to 15 minutes of the activity circle spinning. I have not seen this happen myself and I'm relaying what she described so this may not be 100% what happens.
Since I already deleted the profile which presumably makes a new database for the emails what do I do next to try and track down then fix these problems?
Her computer is on an A6 processor 16GB of RAM, Windows 10 Home, 1TB SSD Firefox and Thunderbird are up to date via push updates. No extensions on thunderbird or FF whatsoever. Windows is not updated to 1903 build yet, but any other regular push updates are installed. AV software is AVG Free or Avast Free (I forget which) with minimal components installed. No other firewalls except windows firewall and whatever is on the xfinity voice/modem.

I have three email addresses that I added to TB (thunderbird). The main address I have is #1. I can't see the messages in the spam folder for this address. Address #2 is OK I can see my spam messages here. Address #3 is also OK I can see my spam messages here. How do I correct this so I can see my spam messages in address #1. What I mean by "main address" is this is my primary address for my Internet provider. #2 and #3 are secondary addresses in that provider which is cox.net. Can I get help to see my spam?

Hi, bear with me while I explain. I had the first, main email account (fm) for years with thunderbird (th). I added in a second and secondary account (gm) a bit ago and there was no problem. Then a couple of days ago fm stopped sending out messages. It wanted the password for the account. Since it is a third party app system, I don't have the original password but deleted and reinstalled fm with a new third party app password. Again it asked for the password when I wanted to send something from fm but it did not work when I put in the new password. I hope you have followed so far.
I deleted the gm account and then fm sending worked but the minute I added gm back in, it stopped. However, if I put the gm account in first then add the fm account, then sending with fm works without a problem. I am flummoxed. I have asked fm's support for help but it seems like a th issue so I am asking here too. I would like to have fm's account at the top as if gm's account is at the top, I have to scroll down to get to some of fm's folders. It is not a big deal but would be nice if I could install fm first. I also just want to know if anyone has any insights or ideas into this baffling situation? Much thanks in advance, Yasmine

We have two ROGERS email addresses. For several years we operated wonderfully, in IMAP mode, and multiple sub-folders in each of the addresses, on multiple machines. About a month ago we started having password issues, and Rogers tech told me about the need to use the password auto-generate tool to 'connect to your app'. I've done that, and both machines (W7 & 10) work for a few hours, then sporadically give the 'retry or enter new password' message. Can you give me guidance on this? Specifically, do I generate the password on one machine and then use that same password on all machines; or do I need to generate a different password on each machine? Also, does the password self-propogate to all sub-folders? (eg, sometimes some folders work properly, while other sub-folders give the error). And should I always check "Use Password Manager", or leave it unchecked? … any help will be appreciated. Thank you! Dave H
I note the 'forward' option is now not available. I use it with my children daily. It is now more complicated to forward.
My system just updated this morning to version 60.7.2 when I note the problem started.
