I installed TB on a new computer, say C2. I used all the same Account Settings as I use on my old computer, say C1. On C1, in the Left Panel, under my Email Address, appear the Folders: Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk, and Trash.

However, on C2, the Folders Drafts, Sent, and Junk are missing. I use POP on both computers. How do I create the missing folders on C2?

Thanks in advance to any kind person with expertise to solve this problem.

I just got a new company email. I *believe* it's an Exchange server (don't know if that matters).

I can receive and send messages in Thunderbird, and the Inboxes match on TBIrd and Outlook Web Access. BUT, messages I've sent through OWA aren't in my TBird Sent Items, and vice versa. Likewise, folders I created in TBird didn't sync.

The setup looks the same as what I have for GMail on TBird, which syncs all those items flawlessly. Is there something I need to look for?

I can still receive and send e-mail from my phone and tablet (using BlueMail or GMail), but I can't do either from my Windows laptop with the new Thunderbird 60. If I reinstall the earlier version, (Thunderbird-Setup-17-0-8.exe), everything works. Going to Yahoo to change my password, as one solution suggests clearly does NOT address the problem, as the only thing that does not work is Thunderbird.

I am trying to setup Thudnerbird to retrieve my Outlook365 emails from the University.

The software has been able to validate the servers, IMAP and SMTP, however when testing I receive an error message saying the the "Username or Password is invalid".

I don't know how much this relates but I am afraid the Micorosoft accounts through school use some kind of double authentication or similar.

Any help will be greatly appreciate it.

I can receive mail fine, but I cannot send. I have verified with my ISP the smtp settings and re-installed Thunderbird. But it still fails with:

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.redshift.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

Nothing has changed besides the new vsn of Thunderbird. I have included a screen shot of the smtp settings.

Thanks for any insight.

Apparently, prior to version 60, you could use the morefunctionsforaddressbook add-on to do this. But, I get a message that this add-on is not compatible with version 60. Installing one address at a time is a joke. Tried to go back to an earlier version, but continue to get alerts from my anti-virus program.

Thunderbird 60.0. I would like to delete the existing profile so I can migrate a profile and data from another computer. When i try to run the file I get a message that the file is not available.

after downloading thunderbird onto my mac pro os 10.13.6 unable to open thunderbird due to message "disk is damaged and should be ejected how do i get an undamaged disk.

Help! TB 60 continuously crashes on all of our machines so we're using 52.9 until the bug is figured out, BUT TB insists on auto-updating to version 60 despite turning off auto-update settings. These are the exact non-default update settings we have. Can you help me figure out why TB continues to auto-update?

user_pref("app.update.auto", false); user_pref("app.update.channel", ""); user_pref("app.update.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.addon-background-update-timer", 1536598499); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.background-update-timer", 1536598626); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.blocklist-background-update-timer", 1536598371); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.search-engine-update-timer", 1536599735); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.telemetry_modules_ping", 0); user_pref("app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification", 1536599607); user_pref("app.update.migrated.updateDir", true); user_pref("app.update.service.enabled", false); user_pref("app.update.showInstalledUI", false);

I installed Thunderbird 60.0 and want to import my old contacts (windows live mail) which I have exported to .vcf files. The default import from TB can do one at a time, but since I have 800+ contacts I'm looking for a way to do it in bulk. About the only answer I can find on these forums is to download the extension: MoreFunctionsForAddressBook However, this does not work with version 60.0. Is there another way?

We have an old installation of Thunderbird on a drive that is no longer bootable. We installed Thunderbird on a new drive and successfully moved the abook.mab file to the new installation. We still have abook-1.mab (plus -2, -3, & -4) we would like to bring over. Is that possible? Thanks, Mike

i read through all the similar questions/replies. I am on Windows xp sp3. (no I am not changing OS) I updated t-bird to version for w-xp. found the old profile, copied all the files from the old profile folder to the new profile folder. T-bird still acts as if it is an entirely new installation and wants to set up accounts.

Does anyone know how I can import my address book from my Windows Live Mail 2011 email program into Thunderbird? My Windows Live Mail 2011 program stopped working so I can no longer open it in order to export my address book and save it as an .vcf file so I need to find a way to import my entire address book of 5,000 addresses into TB without a .vcf file.

I think the question says it all. The "Import" function in Thunderbird does NOT do it, no matter how hard people insist that's all you need to do.

Not being able to completely rebuild what I had in Outlook is a deal-breaker, so if this can't be done, someone please tell me now!!!

Trying to set up a new conto, Thunderbird (on computer) says: "E-mail conto settings couldn't be found" though Mail has no problem with it neither on computer or on iPhone. The message appears already after the first page where you fill in name, e-mail address and password. S Rosander

I have installed Thunderbird 52.9.1. The good news is that Thunderbird seems to have automatically imported the account settings for my 4 existing email accounts. I dodn't know if it got them from my WLM user data or from an export I did of my WLM accounts some time ago in case something went wrong.

I was using Windows Live Mail 2012

However, I have not been able to import my emails. Elsewhere on this forum I have read about a Thunderbird add-on named ImportExport tools, but when I followed the link to https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ I tried to download it and got a message that it appears to be corrupted. Since this appears to be the only way to import my WLM emails, I am stuck. Any help would be appreciated.
