I tried a few times to copy the thunderbird folder from my windows machine to my mac machine but every time I start Thunderbird after that it just creates a new profile folder and ignores the existing one which was already copied. Any help and insight will be greatly appreciate it!

OS: Windows 10 and Sonoma

Greetings, recently our pc was attacked ,malware. A new windows program was installed. This resulted in some apps being deleted. One of which was the Firefox email. Inspite of many attempts to reinstate it I have had no success. There is great difficulty in finding what to do to reinstall. There are assumptions that I have particular information. Other than our 3 email addresses we do have any code numbers or passwords, as these to were also lost. As it has been several days since the "repair" the inability to access Firefox with historic emails is now creating a number of serious issues. I need urgent help in reinstalling our Firefox email. My inability to find that one person who I know can help is out there. The FAQ were of no help. The request how to reinstall Firefox does not appear to be a FAQ. Ross.

Hi, I love this email app. but now I starting to get this msg. What I need to do NOT to have this msg every time that I open the app. = Dear users, ThunderHTMLedit will no longer be hosted at addons.thunderbird.net. Please head to www.betterbird.eu/addons/ to install the new version. The extension “ThunderHTMLedit” is requesting to be uninstalled. What would you like to do? Thank you very much Pini

I used the same password I have been using for a long time with my Verizon account and now I get this message: Sending of password for user k.machv@verizon.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later. I can open and download my email messages via AOL but it will not recognize my password to allow me to download my messages to Thunderbird.

When I migrated Thunderbird from a Windows environment to my new Apple Mac it did not migrate my local folders. Can someone explain the process?

I have the mozmsgs and sbd folders on my new Mac and have manually put them in the "local folders" directory but they are not recognised.

Regards Joe

Please advise what settings will work with Thunderbird for all NETWORK SOLUTIONS imap and POP accounts Also please advise the proper settings for all AOL accounts IMAP and POP

Hopefully this will reach Thunderbird support though I know Mozilla no longer supports this but the Thunderbird team does.

I would like to install Thunderbird on a MacBook Pro 2024 which I assume is running Os 14.5. It is not clear to me what version, if any, can be installed. I have used Thunderbird on Windows for many years but now wish to install it on this Mac.

Thanks,

 John

I was stupid and loaded down what I thought was an updated version, 115, of Thunderbird. Many of the folders with saved emails has dissapered. How can I get them back? Why is the number of saved emails shown on some of the folders. How to make the shown number to dissapear? How can I take away old emails in the infolder. In the previus version was that possible. I had to make all accounts once again. Shall it be that in an update? How can I get back the previous versin? I am not pleased with this new 115-version.

Regards Thomas

Trying to update to the 115.12.1 I am getting the message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you wan t to reboot now?

If I select no nothing happens if I select yes then the computer reboots but no changes are made

I am not able to access my emails or upgrade Thunderbird

Please advise

I want that all my mail from all mine email boxes be restored to the original mail boxes. Now all the mail is removed there and that must not be done

How do I copy it back!!!!!

My Thunderbird profile in Linux Ubuntu 24.04 is in /home/dick/Thunderbird_mail/me. I want to copy it to a new directory. I copied it using the following commands: dick@dick1:~$ mkdir t2 dick@dick1:~$ cp -rf Thunderbird_mail t2

I then ran "thunderbird -P" and created a new profile pointing to /home/dick/t2/me When I opened this profile I got the message "You have launched an a\older version of Thunderbird.", even though I was running the same version of Thunderbird. If I open the profile in Thunderbird_mail/me, it works correctly. If I open the profile in t2/me with the same executable of Thunderbird, I get this message.

How can I copy my profile to a new directory?

dick@dick1:~$ thunderbird --version Thunderbird 115.11.1

Hi,

I have this setting enabled: Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them

Yet twice in the last couple weeks, Thunderbird has updated without asking.

I do not run any updater software, TB must be doing this itself.

What settings in v115 are required in the config editor to ensure that updates are not installed without user intervention?

Thanks Russell

Hello, my Cox email account was migrated to Yahoo mail. I can receive emails but now I can't send emails from Thunderbird. I've triple checked server settings. Please help. Thanks-Vince

This is the message I get and it does this with all email addresses.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.
