I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

duplicate of /questions/1445549 thread.

Buonasera, stamattina non funzionando le mail in arrivo in Thundebird, ho riparato la cartella a seguito di un messaggio arrivato dal vostro portale dove mi diceva: spazio archiviazione terminato. Effettuata la procedura i messaggi in entrata hanno iniziato a funzionare regolarmente ma mi sono accorto che tutte le mail nella cartella posta in arrivo erano prive di testo. Cosa può esser successo e se è possibile ripristinare, grazie mille per un vostra risposta. Vi lascio in allegato un'immagine come campione. Cordiali saluti, Gianfranco

In my thunderbird program, version 91 64bit, on linux mint 20.3 cinnamon, the region and date/time is displaying properly, but the TBird program is taking the number for the hour from the message time and putting that number into the date as the month of the message. So, a 55-01-2022 message was received in 06-01-2022 at 23:55:12, but the date should be 06-01-2022. What am I doing wrong?

My Thunderbird email program no longer accepts my password for my Gmail account. It's the same password I use to log on to Firefox and I can open my Gmail from there so I know it's the right one. I've tried deleting the password from the save passwords window and I've made sure that I've updated to the latest Thunderbird version and I've restarted my computer after all of the previous things. I'm out of ideas. Help?

I am all of a sudden not receiving emails from group lists I previously have been a part of and my email is in the distribution list. This just started to happen.

Any suggestions? Not very technical here...

No response to previous, so trying again with 2 questions: 1. Having lost addresses and calendar because of having to download fresh program, are addresses and calendar still somewhere in the computer to be retrieved?? 2. To guard against it happening again, can ads & cal be stored remotely for re-importing??

Running 91.9.1, W10. At about noon today I stopped receiving all emails from multiple providers. I have done no updates. Selecting any account results in the looping timer. The mail is available at gmail and aol as well as on my iphone. I've restarted Thunderbird to no avail. All network settings look good. I am running windows defender. As stated I have changed nothing on the PC.

I have forgotten how to print individual addresses from my Thunderbird address books! I know I've done it in the long-ago past--perhaps 10 years ago--with no problems, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Help--and thank you!

I made a huge mistake, I was trying to make Thunderbird view larger, now it's much to large to be functional or to make changes or go back to original settings. Here's what happened.

I went into "advanced settings" and changed layout.css.dev.Pixels.Per.Px the size is to large and now I can not view or make changes to Thunderbird. I tried deleting Thunderbird and re-installing it but no luck, the re-install has same large scale issue.

Suddenly .... Folders show that they contain messages but the message list window is empty. If I '"repair folder", the list of messages is restored. But i have to go through that painful process for each folder, and i have many accounts and folders. And if Tbird is closed and reopened, the problem still exists - even 'repaired' folders do not display their messages.

Version 91.8.1, Win 10

For weeks, I have been searching everywhere for a definitive method for transferring my Thunderbird 91.8.1 profile to a new PC. There are lots of posts mainly covering windows applications and older versions of Thunderbird. One reoccurring problem seems to be that some installations have 2 profiles. Some have a profile with just a xxxxxxxx.default profile and others have a xxxxxxxx.default-release and a xxxxxxxx.default profile. It would appear that if you have the 2 profiles then the .default-release would be the one you would use for transferring to a new PC. I was wondering if some one could lead me to a current definitive procedure, for transferring a Linux based Thunderbird 91.8.1 profile, from one PC to new Linux PC . What to do if you have the 2 profiles? Can you just delete the yyyyyyyy.default profile?

Perhaps some one could comment on the following procedure that I have cobbled together from the myriad of posts that I have read.

THIS IS MY VERSION (UNPROVEN) Transfer Thunderbird (91.8.1) profile to new PC [v_4]

On your SOURCE computer [Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3]

       1. Connect a device for data transfer, either a USB flash drive, or a USB SSD/HDD drive. 

       2. Open the Home directory and click the “View tab” then check the box “Show Hidden Files”.

       3. You should find a directory called .thunderbird. 

       4. Open .thunderbird and look for the folder, xxxxxxxx.default-release. Note; the x represents a string of 8 random alpha/numerical text. 

       5. Right-click on the xxxxxxxx.default-release folder and select Copy.

       6.  Paste a copy of xxxxxxxx.default-release to your transfer device. Remove it safely from the source computer when done. 

       7. Uncheck the “Show Hidden Files” tab that you checked in step 2.

Note: a) These steps can also be used to create a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder.

         b) In step 4, you may not find a default-release folder. You may see a xxxxxxxx.default or  
             both. Choose the one that is active.

On your DESTINATION computer [Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3]

       1. Open thunderbird and then close it. A new profile will be created yyyyyyyy.default-release, or .yyyyyyyy.default.

       2. Locate and open the backed-up profile folder, xxxxxxxx.default-release.

       3. Select all of the folder contents and choose Copy. 

       4. Locate and open the new profile folder,  yyyyyyyy.default-release.

       5. Paste the contents of the backed up profile folder into the new profile folder. Choose to overwrite existing files of the same name. 

       6. Start Thunderbird.

some messages are displaying as garbled test, I tried all the different html settings in the body display no differences in any of the displays. Messages on wedsite are correct. No updates that I am aware off have occurred. I have rebooted computer and Thunderbird to no effect

One of our Emeriti Professors using Thunderbird of a Mac can use the space bar when typing text. The space bar deletes text.

Is there an over write mode in Thunderbird for Mac? If so, how is it turned off.

typing works correctly in word and other programs. Thanks!
