I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Recently we've changed the server provider and consequently the server settings - from mini.superhosting.bg to imap.titan.email The thing is that we've started receiving new emails to the new server but the old emails, folders, contacts and settings left on the old one and we know that they are stored to our computer, in this case the path is C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\vpb9xsrq.default-release\ImapMail\mini.superhosting.bg

The thing is that we've tried to recover the old data with the ImportExportTools NG -> Import all messages from a directory -> also from its subdirectories but then it nothing happens. Could you help us out to do this because we didn't manage to do it?

Thunderbird updated to ver 102.2.2 and now the background is black and text white. Under Settings, background is set to white and text black. Two other PCs updated and this issue did not occur

David of your staff said: "Some accounts, such as Outlook, automatically save a copy in Sent folder so, if it's an Outlook account, just untick the option to save a copy. " I don't have a clue where I go or how I get there in order to do this very simple possible solution. Larry

Hello

I am trying to add some accounts to thunderbird but in the beginning on one pc i did not receive the mails nor could I send one . N ow i have reinstalled the app but now i cannot add any of the accounts it keeps telling me thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account Can you please assist with this problem

So I have recently started doing switch over from installing applications to using portable applications where ever possible. This is because the software do not create registry entries and hog resources by creating background processes and other stuff.

So I have Thunderbird Portable and Mozilla Firefox Portable running on my computer. I have set Firefox as the default browser. Clicking links from the Thunderbird opens a completely new instance of Firefox irrespective of whether I have Firefox running or not. What this means is that it's a complete fresh profile without any extensions, no cookies, no site preferences saved, etc.

Please help how to get around this.

Over the last several months I struggled to get Thunderbird to allow me to set up email accounts for POP3 mail handling. For now, I have the accounts added using IMAP mail handling; however, in trying to fix the problem I removed and reinstalled Thunderbird a number of times. As a result, I seem to have lost all my contacts. To be more precise, there are no entries when I click on Address Book.

I have a dim recollection of having read that TB saves multiple Profiles and that Profiles contain many things including downloaded email and address books. I hope that is the case and that there might exist an older version of a Profile that contains my address book. If that is true, I need help finding the older Profiles, determining if they contain my address book, and recovering the address book without disturbing my current TB install.

Can anyone confirm or deny my supposition? If confirmed, can anyone tell me how to go about recovering my address book? I'm running TB v.115.7.0 on Windows 10. I believe I'm up to date on both.

TIA

On replacing a profile from a backup due to problems all sqlite, json and msf type files appeared in the folders list insted of the folders and there is no address books. Have made a clean install of Thunderbird and tried again to use various profile backups but get the same problem.

I need to generate notices for the sender of all incoming email messages. I've been searching and trying now for several days without success. Is there a method to export all the messages for a folder to a readable file on a local disk so it can be read with a custom program? I'm hoping this is something that is available but if so I cannot find where. Thanks in advance for any ideas/pointers/instructions.

I have been using Thunderbird on my PC's for at least 8 years. It has been reliable and easy to set up for use with multiple acccounts. However, in the last couple of weeks it keeps freezing up and the header bar tells me it is "not responding". I have tried closing and reopening the program & restarting my computer, no joy. I wonder if there was an update recently which caused this sudden bug? My current version is 115.6.1

Have an on-going issue using Dark Mode addons

Works find except for HTML formatted emails being replied to In this case text in reply displays in the same colour as the background, so not visible

Suggestions gratefully received

Hi,

I just installed Thunderbird yesterday to test it out (as I'm no longer able to use the Microsoft Outlook email client due to pop3 no longer being supported by my email host).

Things worked fine yesterday when I added two email accounts but today I found a conflict where both inboxes were showing emails from a third email account. I was unable to add this third email account yesterday due to a message saying "You already have an OWA account with this hostname. Try using the EWS protocol instead. You can find it in the OWL settings page". I went round and round in circles trying to find the OWL settings page but just could not add the third account.

Today, the two accounts I created yesterday showed the emails from the third account I was unable to add. Confused and bewildered!!

Can you help? Thanks.

Regards.

Nick

Having a strange problem with a Gmail account. No problems yesterday, but today as soon as I go to another inbox and come back to my Gmail inbox, the messages are gone! Please help!

Thunderbird 102.4.2

All - there are enough questions on backups/restores that I don't want to load everyone down with an involved question, I'll try to keep it simple:

1- Using Mozbackup utility - appears to generally work fine and handy but continues to a) restore old accounts long gone (i.e. not present in Accounts list when backup file created with Mozbackup and b) does not restore complete set of new accounts (via Imapmail\*.com account files I take it). I am guessing that if any *.com account file is still sitting in \ImapMail folder and included in the .pcv file Mozbackup will try to restore this and set it up in Accounts list, so I'm going to try deleting all obsolete account *.com files before I do backup this time. Question remains about the non-restore of newer *.com account files though, which WERE present in \Imapmail folder at make backup.

Also, restore does not carry account server info into new accounts list, just the placeholder account name (in the list in Accounts pane on left). I have to repeatedly re-enter server info, re-establish connection, etc. Deficiency in Mozback or is this a safety thing?

2- see attached pic. Either Mozbackup, or something, is creating number-incremented copies of the account *.com files, with the newest (present time) copy having the highest added -# onto file name. Why is this and is it old to delete earlier/old dated files?

I am getting the feeling that it's safer/wiser to just manually backup-recopy all \Imapmail\*.com files (and *.msf files) into \Imapmail folder as per this post:

Hi, Does anyone have an idea why TB reports the following URL as not valid when I try to subscribe? Firefox displays it right through the RSS Preview extension: https://nim-lang.org/feed.xml

Hi Everyone: This is the first time I've ever gone to a "community" to ask for help. Please bear with me. I'm pretty simple minded and I am not a computer person. I was very happy with the old format. I would start an email, with another person or persons, and if the general topic was the same (such as a project I was working on with 1-2 people) I would use the "reply" or "reply all" to continue this string of e-mails. The recent changes now bring up different "tabs" at the top of the screen. This is very confusing and shows a series of emails that are generally not relevant to what needs to be addressed. It also does not always show who the current email is actually coming from. My question is: How can I go back to the old format. I found it simpler, easy to use, and more succinct.

I use PhraseExpress to insert an em-dash {asc 0151} for me. It works in all applications except Thunderbird.

It used to work fine until a recent Thunderbird update. Now, instead of entering the em-dash, it enters a line break followed by the em-dash and followed by an additional line break.

What can I do to restore this to the way it used to work in Thunderbird?
