I understand that Postbox, based on Thunderbird, will never be updated to become compatible with Apple silicon chips. Therefore Postbox will cease to work when Rosetta will be deprecated on macs. Consequently my question is where can I find directions to import messages, filters, and preferences from Postbox to Thunderbird?

I am using Thunderbird on Windows 11 and I have foolishly allowed it to update itself to release 128.1.0.esr without checking the bug reports first. Now it turns out that this release removed the possibility to search the calendar for past events, which is absolutely essential for me. There is a Bugzilla entry for this but it is bogged down in discussions about who needs which date ranges to search in and how many instances to show for recurring events, so I don't expect a solution any time soon. How can I revert Thunderbird to the last release which still has that functionality? I have regular backups of my userprofile folder in case it helps.

Does anyone know how do I can get my feeds back? I hope all my saved feeds are still stored somewhere as I use them for research. I just went to look something up and the whole heading is totally gone!

Thunderbird did an auto update this morning and failed to restart. I get a message that says this version is incompatible with the last. I pay over 20 bills from folders I created in it the applications inbox, house billing info and passes and links to the pages and responses, etc. This is a MUST for me that this thing works and works well. Until this morning it was flawless in that capacity. My only fix after extensive research has been to download the newest version from the website, install it and it starts fine...until I close it, then it fails to restart with the same identifier. Each of the two times I have closed it I go through the same thing upon an opening attempt.

I'm now looking at different mail options as I'm on SSI and have one shot at paying bills a month and can't afford to be any later than SSI already makes me, though my creditors have been thus far understanding. I now have to keep my computer on and the app open until I'm paid on the 9th so I can be sure to be able to pay my bills. I don't know what you folks are shooting for by tinkering with an already flawless system but you missed this time I'm afraid. Leave it alone or let us keep our working system while you offer "new and improved" to those who like to play with new toys. Give me back my old working system before I'm forced to look elsewhere for a way to do my monthly duty to my creditors. Sincerely, Arthur Kelly

Hello,

After upgrading the Thunderbird to the latest version (128.0.1esr (32-bit)), and trying to switch View->Layout->Classic View to Vertical View, and back to the Classic View, messages from last almost 15 months are not visible. Messages prior to 15 months ago are visible, and from that point, just couple of them showing totally unrelated content than nothing; looks like something is corrupted.

After the latest Thunderbird upgrade, one new message arrived and everything looks OK.

Any hint please?

Thanks. Branko

Hallo, ich habe einen neuen PC mit neu Win 11. Da habe ich Thunderbird neu installiert. Alle meine Mails sind bei Web.de gespeichert. Durch die neue Installation sind alle persönlich angelegten Ordner unter dem Ordner: "Lokale Ordner" verschwunden. Wo kann ich diese wiederfinden? Liebe Grüße Hans

Hi On my Computer I have some locale folders with a lot of mails. Have installed Thunderbird on my Android Mobile and want to see all these locale folders. How and where do I place these locale folders to be able to see them on my Mobile ??? Have attached part of my Mail window to show locale folders. Regards John Gyrud

Today just after an auto update of Thunderbird from 115.14.0 to 128.1.1 the ability to drag a selected number of addresses from an address book window to the address field or the cc or bcc field in a new e-mail. We have an address book with sub folders. This has caused undue headaches dragging addressees one at a time. Can anyone help with why this upgrade has cause this or if there is a setting that needs changed. Tried to change back to old version 115.40 but the system I guess changes the profiles so they can't be back loaded.

After a crash I had to reinstall ubuntu and switched to 24.4 where Thunderbird is installed via snap.

I have my old home directory with my old .firefox installation and want to copy my data from the old installation to the newe tb. How can I do this ? brds

I have only my profile file (eg 1b3ylg2i-default) from backup. I copied it into the Thunderbird\profiles folder on the new computer. I have tried changing the information in the parent higher up files (installs.ini and profiles.ini) to match, but no luck. Thunderbird complains that it cant find my profile. The source computer is dead, I have only this file as backup.

Is there a way?

I have a couple of networked desktops running Ubuntu Linux. Attempting an ( unsuccessful ) software upgrade , wiped out my Thunderbird email connection on the affected machine. I still have a functioning version on the other.

       To reinstate email on my non-functional Thunderbird, I need my email password.
       Where in my functional version might I find it?

Hello We have a Thunderbird account with three emails. our subscription for information@glasgowfinearts-gafas.org.uk finishes on 21 September and we have a new email: information@gafas.org.uk. I have changed the default to this new email but when I try to login, it still specifies the old email and asks for that password. I am concerned that when the subscription for this ceases, I will not be able to get into Thunderbird. Can someone please advise? Thank you, Nancy Stevens

In completing automatic setup, I get message that it is recongized by my server and when I hit done, it then says it is not . I got the sucessful message after changing my password with my provider. I use Spectrum ... Please help. Thanks.

I am new to Apple my younger son having passed on to me his former IPad and I wish to recuperate my Thunderbird email box on this pad in order to be able to use it on this support. How do I proceed? Mary Hochstrasser Email address: mary.hochstrasser@netplus-ch

I'm setting up a new Thunderbird installation and email accounts. The account setup fails because it cannot sign into the server. I believe the issue is between the account ID and the email address. They are different. The server requires an account login in the form of wxyz in order to access email in the form of a@bc.de. The account ID password is the same as the email address password. I've tried using wxyz in the account and get smtp connect failure. If I use a@bc.de in the account I get the same failure. This is a working email account that I've had for 30 years. I've tried imap as well as pop3. Both fail the same way.

I was forced to update my email password by my provider (another story). I use a POP email account, so then needed to update the password in my Thunderbird account settings. But the previously stored accounts and saved password line had disappeared. How do I re-add my POP account with its new password to the saved passwords, or maybe create a new POP account and relink to everything listed in Local Folders (this latter option is not my preference?

Ever since updated to TB Nebula (128.1.1esr (64-bit)), downloading of email has become super slow. Each mail takes more than 10 seconds. Many times, there are 100+ emails and it is not responding till all emails are downloaded. Need help.
