Forum der Gemeinschaft Thunderbird

My house was hit by a lightning strike and it blew out my computer. It looks like both the drives in that computer are readable. So I am wondering how I can get all my email back into thunderbird. It was a pop account. All email was saved to computer. I'm using windows 10. I tried to just copy the old file at Users/Mike/AppData/Roaming but that didn't work. It didn't bring back all of the folders. Please let me know if there's anyway to rebuild all the folders and emails. Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

I saw a post about creating a calendar event directly from email ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1091761]) and it mentioned using

Right Click-Convert To-Event or Task

However, I do not see that option. The post is archived so I cannot followup with the original posting.

In attempting to address inbox message duplication in Thunderbird (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1453812#answer-1666737), I've been systematically deleting thousands of old emails from my inbox, followed by a folder compacting.

Now, many of the remaining messages are unreadable. Most appear to be blank /empty, while some appear as gibberish text. I've tried repairing the folder using the tool in Folder Properties. That may have made the problem worse.

i was able to see all of the emails for some accounts that no longer have a working login, but now they are all just empty with only 1 fake inbox folder, so where did it all go and how can i get them back? it even finds them via the main ctrl+k search, but dont show any in the inbox folder anymore (there are also no profiles under the hamburger help menu etc... and i probably just copied them into a new folder after renaming the 1st clean installation folder etc...)

Somehow I was running an unsupported ver 129 on a Win 10 system, not sure how. I was getting a warning messages at startup. I decided to install the latest supported ver 128. I did that over the ver I was running and did not save, export or rename anything. Just one install over the other. I have lost my calendar that I spent months building. Did I lose it? Any possibility it is still around hiding somewhere? Help please, but I am prepared for the worst for being hasty in my decision. Cheers, TR

Each time I open the program it starts downloading all emails from the beginning, it takes hours and days. Even when it's done it starts again from the beginning. I have used this program for many years, but this problem happened in the last few weeks, it's crazy slow

Thumderbird asked if it could compact folders. Said yes. Now all that shows is the title line for all emails in inbox, but NO content displayed.

Can still see content in emails that are in other folders, seems to be only inbox that will not show content of the emails

Strangely, I can't figure out how to add to someone else's post if it doesn't already have replies so I'm having to start my own thread. Anyway...

Thunderbird on my system is 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and a day or two ago it updated itself to version 115.10.1. Since then it's been slow at sending emails, receiving emails, applying filters and pretty much everything else. Is this being worked on? I saw a couple of similar reports from other people here but like I said, I can't add a reply to them.

And if it's not known about or being worked on, is there some way I can roll back an update?

My cox emails opened in Thunderbird until a few days ago. Now a popup window asks for the password for each account. I checked the "security" section, and all of the passwords are saved. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure if this is Thunderbird or Windows 11. I use to be able to go to a web page in a browser and share it via "Send to Mail" Extension. It would open my default email program and a new email with the URL of the page I'm on already in the message area of the new email. It is not working now, likely since I upgraded to Win 11.I've been to the Default Apps settings and set all mail extensions to Thunderbird and the problem remains. It doesn't matter what browser I use, I've tried 3 different ones. My default browser is Firefox and it is up to date. I've tried other Mail To extensions in all the browsers and none work. When I try to do this, I see a message that says opening Default Mail Handler, then nothing happens, nothing opens. All I can do is copy the URL of the page I want to send and paste it into a new email I've opened by manually opening Thunderbird.

Suggestion are appreciated.

I am trying to add an exisiting email address to Thunderbird, and it is not connecting to the server. I copied the Hostname and Port from the information displayed on the 'External Access' page of the original email host. I checked and rechecked the email address and password and it keeps saying it can't connect to the server.

Thunderbird no longer sends emails from my standard account. Receiving continues to work without any problems. The provider is Vodafone with the .kabelmail.de address Screenshots show the settings. Otherwise these always worked. I've already set the TLS version to 1 in Thunderbird, without success.

The error message can be seen in German on the other screenshot and means in English:

"Failed to send message. Error sending message. The mail server responded: spam id=155817::1723829084-40E2144E-91888C35/29/1527808. Please check the message and try again."

Having used our Mailserver with the Autoconfig feature which Thunderbird can make use of.

Now with Thunderbird 128 we are looking for a similar feature to setup Calendars & Addressbook für each Mail user.

Is there also an XML-Like configuration possible?

The Autoconfig really increased the acception of the Mailclient by a very large margin. Can the same feature be used for Calendars and Addressbooks?

See Screenshot attached where it doesn't find any DAV service supportet by the server.

Hello!

I might be stupid, but I would like to add micorsoft exchange account (unfortunately) and I have downloaded daily build. But I cannot find "Exchange Web Services" option.

I'm following the steps: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Exchange

> Add an Exchange account using the usual Thunderbird process, and selecting the "Exchange Web Services" option.

Not sure where is "Exchange Web Services" option. Would be grateful if you could clarify this.

Cannot add exchange account.

Thank you.

From today I have been unable to:

Create sub-folders, or delete a folder, or see properties.

If I right click nothing happens, although it allows me to re-name, move, or see settings.??

any ideas please. Tony
