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!

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

Thunderbird Desktop has many features that K9 does not. For example sending email to groups of contacts or filtering incoming messages to folders.

Is there a plan to give Thunderbird for Android some of those features?

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 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?

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!

Hi - I am having a problem with where Thuderbird is sending attachment files. I have "Save files to" set to C:\C Drive Documents\Attachments2 but the attachments are showing up in C:\Users\laroc\AppData\Local\Temp\pid-3656. This just started happening about a week ago and I just noticed today when I looked in "Attachments2" for a file but could not find it.

I restarted the computer. Did not help.

I re-installed Thunderbird and that did not help either.

Any thoughts?

Impossible sending e-mails regularly from a few days ago.

A message "Too many sending failures" appears though failures are a very few ones and this block increases every day.

How can be it solved?

My email cannot be enabled, system states that I may have restrictions on having too many emails ports. My devices suggests extending my imap provisions. How I can I resolve this. i have email on 2 devices.

Hello

Since the update to 136.0 Thunderbird I can no longer send emails and I can not go back to 128 because it refuses to refuse the data.

So I can call up emails with 136 but do not send emails. I spoke to the provider All settings are correct.

What can I do? With the 128 everything goes out of the problem

I am for quick help because I have a lot of contact with the hill by email and I do not ask for inquiries can answer.

Hello, I have a problem with creating messages. The new message button does not respond to clicking (the same with file > create > message). You can reply to messages normally. Please advise how to fix the problem.

Thunderbird has been working fine for years, then today I got this "Login to account "myemail@comcast.net" failed. Haven't changed my password and it was working this morning. ?? I'm using TBird on a MacBook IOS Sequoia.

Wife and I have two separate desktops on a MS Win 11 PC (desktop). I have T-Bird ver 136.0 (64 bit) running on my side working perfectly. We just tried installing her old T-Bird account on her side, and after a while, we got it installed and are able to RECEIVE mail--also on ver 136.0 (64 bit), but can't SEND. However, there are two problems:

  1.  Our two versions look quite different on our individual sides of the computer.  Why?
  2.  As best we can determine, all our settings are the same; however, she can only receive--can't send emails.  She gets an instant constant error msg:  Unable to send, outgoing mail server xxxxxxxxx has timed out.  It's the same server I'm using!  We have triple-checked all settings between our two accounts, but still no luck.  We have checked with our email service provider (WOW!/Knology), and they have shown us how to set up their internet email account to use at a hotel when traveling, but not at our home PC.  Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated!

Many thanks, Jay

After working great for years, I now receive a "cannot connect to server" message for all my email accounts (Gmail, ATT/Yahoo) on TB. It works well on my phone and other laptop. I tried deleting and reinstalling email accounts, but get a message that it cannot connect.

I have not changed any settings. Any ideas?

When clicking on the message, the display pane at the right flickers and disappears, can NOT get my view pane to come up, just flashes and eventually the content goes away..... can't seem to find a fix for it. HELP, I NEED MY MAIL DESPERATELY. Note: if I choose to open the message in a new tab, that seems to work and it displays, therefore the original message is what is having the problem. Do i need a new E-mail client???

Running 128.8.0esr on Win 11. I have just created a new email account in my mailserver for a colleague and have also created it in my Thunderbird. I can see it on the server and in TB and everything seems OK - except that when trying to copy emails from my own account to the new one, I had success in copying over half of one folder (about 400 messages) and then TB refused to transfer any more, either to that new folder or to another in the new account. I shut down and restarted (more than once) and it's very weird. Sometimes it will let me copy one email over, at other times it won't copy anything, but will let me move a few emails to the new account inbox (from where I can move them into the correct folder) and then copy them back into the original folder. This is obviously not feasible when I need to share several hundred more messages into the new account!

I often shift messages around TB from one personal email account to another and have never had this problem. One oddity is that the new email account has placed itself right at the bottom of the left-hand pane, below Local Folders and the newsgroup account. This doesn't seem right but I can't move it to be next to the earlier email accounts.

Can anyone suggest what's going wrong? Or a work around? I need to share a lot of emails with my colleague while keeping them in my own folders too.
