I must move all my personal emails from my Thunderbird email on my work PC to my personal Thunderbird email on my MacBook. I would like to combine them and have access to all at once.

I have moved all my personal emails on my work PC into one folder labeled “Personal.”

I would be ok moving the personal emails to the local TB drive on Mac if recommended.

All I can seem to find when I search the knowledge base is how to move Thunderbird from old to new. And in those instructions they overwrite the profile on new. I am already actively using Thunderbird on my Mac so what I must do is merge pc TB to Mac TB but I have not been able to find instructions. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a Mac so I’m re-teaching myself. I’m much more fluent on the PC right now.

For me there is nothing that compares to Thunderbird. I’ve been using TB for 25 years and have not found anything that compares.

Thank you for you assistance!

I think my email has crashed. I can see emails through yesterday but can not receive anything from today. All attempts that I am capable have been tried and I can not understand all of the instructions for "crash" help.

I have downloaded the latest Thunderbird (for Windows). I have tried setting up my gmail account in it but just get a failure. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I start the account setup, set my email address and password and click continue. It shows an automatic IMAP configuration, I click Done. A window pops up from google for me to allow Thunderbird to access my Google Account. I click Allow. The window goes away and It goes back to the account setup screen with a yellow error box saying "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I know my username and password are correct. Any suggestions?

A window keeps popping up and asking for the password of one of my accounts i put the password in and it says that it is not correct, i then went into settings and looked at the passwords for each account and that account it not there. Looks like that email has disappeared

Tbird still displays No message found, does not allow user control, then starts "Not responding." In can only hit the top right, red X, and close the program. The same happens when I start in Troubleshoot mode. I'm running Windows 11 with the latest updates. Is something wrong with my profile?? What can I try next?

In the past week or so I have noticed that some emails disappear from one inbox on my Windows 10 PC. I have three Thunderbird accounts (call them A, B, and C), and the emails only disappear from box A. It seems completely random, and furthermore they only disappear on my own PC. My husband has an identical set-up on his Windows 10 PC, which also includes the boxes A, B, and C, and the messages do NOT disappear there. I can also see them on my iPhone and two iPads, and they do not disappear from those. I have tried forwarding them to myself from my phone, and while most of them did show up in the A inbox on my PC, I have noticed that some of them have now disappeared again.

This is incredibly frustrating, because I do most of my work at my PC. I thought I needed an update, but TB says I am up to date (128.8.0esr (32-bit)). It can't be anything to do with the server, because it is so specific: one inbox on one PC only. There doesn't seem to be any special pattern--some have attachments, some don't.

Many thanks for any suggestions!

I copied my W7 profile to my W10 laptop. I had used Tbird previously on the laptop with a different profile. When I tried to open Tbird I got the "You have launched an older version of Thunderbird" which says a newer version of Tbird may have made changes to my profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. My options are to Exit or Create New Profile, but I don't think I want to create a new profile because my W7 profile has all my local folders. I can't even see which version of Thunderbird W10 is using because it won't open. Should I uninstall it and re-install it? If so, how do I do that. (I'm a newbie to W10, I hung on to my sweet W7 as long as I could...)

Installed FiltaQuilla. Need help to construct Subject Regex Match string to filter spam with subject line where the spammer intersperses spaces between several of the characters in the message subject line. Tak e C o n t rol o f Y o u r F in a n c e s : O ur D ebt R eli e f Pr o gr a m Trying to filter on 4 or 5 successive single characters interspersed with spaces -- e C o n t Tried ^*[ ][^ ][ ][^ ][ ][^ ][ ][^]*$ , which I thought would return true on the sample above. It did not seem to work.

All of a sudden, all incoming email is going straight to my trash instead of my inbox. I have tried to look at setting, but can't find where to set my inbox as where I want incoming email to go to.

I lost my primary password so I tried to reset it using this code in the console: "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xhtml" . It has been running for a long time. I haven't received the Reset Password popup. It is still running. Attached is the screen shot.

I now have four calendars running, using different colours. Is it possible to get past event colours to dim automatically, please? (The Google calendar does this and it looks good). Would be grateful for suggestions.

There’s an issue when logging into the application. I tried to figure it out myself using an article, and thanks to it, I found the error. Please help me fix it. I haven’t tried reinstalling the program because I don’t remember the password.

I am experiencing an issue with sending emails in Thunderbird after updating to version 136. The "Send" button does not respond when I try to send a new email. Incoming emails are received without any problems, but when I compose a new message and click "Send," nothing happens. As a result, I am unable to send any emails.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue?

Bonjour, Sous mon mobile android version 14,j'ai le dossier nommé trash et sur mon pc il s'appelle corbeille. Du coup quand je vide la corbeille sur mon pc, le dossier trash ne se vide pas sur mon mobile android. Comment modifier les noms des dossiers trash outbox et draft. Cordialement

Other people receive emails with attachments in Cyrillic from me in encoded form. It is recommended to change the encoding on the Internet, but there is no such menu in the current version of the program. How do I open the encoding menu? I really need this because I cause a lot of inconvenience to others.

I've been using Thunderbird for quite a while without any major issues, but yesterday, I ran into a problem that I cannot figure out.

I have a bunch of templates that I use regularly to create emails. The usual procedure is to click on a template email in the "Templates" folder, make the edits I need to the body content, modify the recipient information if necessary, hit send, and away goes a new message.

Yesterday, I click on a message in the Template folder, and nothing happens. The template message does not open up. If I right click and say "Create a new message from template" or whatever the exact prompt is, nothing happens. No new message is created.

I have tried creating a new message and saving it as a template, click on the new "template", and still nothing happens.

I have tried repairing the folder, using properties, but this is only offered if I click on the "Local" subfolder version, not on the "Unified" parent folder. No change.

I tried backing up the profile for security, deleting the "Template" message and index files, to try and see if recreating a new folder will work ... again, same results. Click on a template message and nothing happens. Right-click and select "create new message..." and nothing happens.

I have NOT tried creating a whole new profile yet since there are multiple email accounts, various custom search aggregations, and other customizations that have all been working just splendidly that I don't want to have to recreate all over if I can avoid it.

Running TBird 136.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11 which TBird reports is the latest / up-to-date version.

So far as I can tell, ALL of the other folders, sub-folders, local and IMAP, work as expected. I don't have this "message won't open" problem with any of them. This is affecting only templates and it's left me scratching my head.

Thank you in advance for your help, suggestions, and hopefully, solutions!

Dear support team, I've the following issue with calendars in Thunderbird. Was on latest ESR version, an upgrade to latest version 136.0.1 (64 bit) didn't fix it: When I started Thunderbird, suddenly most of my calendars where no longer visible. I figured out by trying to add a new calendar it only (re-)appeared when "offline mode" (caching) was disabled. After changing the setting calendar.registry.[id].cache.enabled to "false" the calendars showed up again.

Could it be some kind of bug or could the calendar storage be corrupt? How can I fix it?

Many thanks in advance for an answer!

Kind regards, H. Bruecher
