Thunderbird Community Forum

I have Thunderbird 128.4.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Home (64 bit). I want to add a second email account. To do this, I used File> New> Email Account. I entered the email address and password. TB found and entered a server configuration. The new email address appears in the Folder List but has only an Inbox folder after it. The other folders (Sent, Junk, Trash) are missing. Test messages show the new address in TB will send a message correctly except it hangs trying to save the sent message. The new address is unable to receive a message. Please advise how to get the new email account (outlook.com) set up in Thunderbird. Thank you.

I am a brand new user....for 2 days. Converting from Outlook.

How do I import my kids schedules from GameChanger and Sports Engine? I'm trying to add a new account, then I put the link provided by each platform, and then it asks me for a password. I have no idea what password it's asking me to provide?

I really need these calendars to sync in order for this to be the place for my life to be organized!

Additionally, my daughter's volleyball team created a Google Calendar and shared it with us. How do I sync that?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I like the new Thunderbird app for Android and the ability to import settings from the desktop version. But I wonder -- is the reverse possible? Can I import the same accounts from the Android version to a desktop instance?

I, and similar to other friends I have introduced to Thunderbird, are long time users of this exccellent email app. As a resut, we have tried multiple times to donate to yourselves as we value the service you provide, but are unable to do so due to the additional, you might call them security checks, but we call them hassle when they fail to work due to either some bug OR missing database information. What we find is that your address check / verification is incorrect as it may be locked to an incorrect Eircode database (in the case of Ireland). As a result, it does not allow us Irish to donate to you or your service.

I was having trouble adding my NYU email account to Thunderbird and browsing the forums I found this post with my exact same issue.

I just wanted to open a thread because I found a solution to my problem by following one the comments in the original post.

The configuration you should use to configure the account should be as follows (as of Nov. 2024),

Incoming server: imap.gmail.com on port 993 with SSL/TLS using OAuth2 Incoming server username: your NetID without the trailing "@nyu.edu".

Outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com on port 465 with SSL/TLS using OAuth2 Outcoming server username: your NetID (as before)

Once you input this configuration you will be asked to log-in through Google, and from there on everything should work as intended.

Hope this wil be useful to someone.

Hello,

Getting the settings of my accounts exported to my mobile devices is nowadays as simple as scanning a QR code. I have a desktop which has only one of my accounts configured My question: In theory, it should be also possible to create in the mobile app a QR code to export the settings of my accounts to my desktop app.

Are there any plans to do as well as accept the setting file of the mobile app in the desktop app?

Thank you!

Bonjour, mon problème est que depuis un certain temps,je ne peux plus insérer de nouvelles adresses de courriels sur Thunderbird. Mention (écrit en jaune)impossible de se connecter au serveur.Merci de me répondre. Gérard Voici l`adresse courriel ou vous pourrez me rejoindre :Gerard3830@gmail.com.

I followed Mozilla's official instructions for transferring and Thunderbird profile to a new device (running Fedora 40 and Thunderbird version 115). Thunderbird seemed to read my profiles folder correctly, as all my accounts and RSS feeds were present after I copied the old profile to folder to my new .thunderbird directory. However, after downloading the header files for the emails I have received since switching computers, it then tries to download all 60,000 emails or so on my gmail account even though most of these emails should be included in the profile folder already - it looks like have 6 GB INBOX file within this profile.

Is there a way to get thunderbird to read the profile without redownloading all the messages from my accounts? I unfortunately no longer have access to my old windows machine that this profile is from, just the profile folder itself. Let me know if there is anything I can do!

In late September, IONOS canceled me--they blamed their new algorithm. They also deleted or uninstalled my Thunderbird at the same time--they deny doing it. I reinstalled T-bird and downloaded my current inbox from webmail, but 25+ years of work and personal email files saved in Local Folders were missing, along with my address book. Carbonite recovered >130GB of T-bird files that I think and hope are my saved files and put them in one big folder on my desk top--hours later, Hurricane Helene hit. I have my replacement computer now and a recovery drive from Carbonite with>450G of my data on it, including my earlier recovered Thunderbird files.

Question: how do I get those files and address book back into my Thunderbird? This is critical for me. I'm a writer, and all my professional communications are in them, along with all my volunteer work and personal messages--more than 25 years' worth! Between the hurricane and this, I've lost more than a month of work already as well as contacts, medical records, etc..
