On Friday 24/09/06, I deleted my thunderbird-profile-file without immediately realizing it. I realized it on Monday 24/09/07, by opening the program and getting an error message. A new profile-file was immediately initialized by the program and also a program-update was made to version 128.2.0esr (32-Bit)). Unfortunately, I do not know the version, I used before the update Using your instructions from the Mozilla knowledge-base, I was able to restore the file-situation, as it was before my mistake killing my profile. Although trying now for three days getting the old data (inbox, sent mails, address book) in the new profile by importing or over writing I didn't have any success. Trying to import old profile-data by the program-tool results in an error message. When overwriting the existing files with the old ones, I get new folders, but they were all empty. After long time of research in your knowledge-base, trying mentioned solutions without success, I suppose that it is no more a question of recreating a knew profile but a question of the program-update made on Monday and a data conflict between the two program versions. I Think the new version cannot handle with the old data. I would like to install the version I used before the update, but do not know whether which version it was nor where I could find an old program-version? Or is there a possibility to manage old data with the new version, and I do not know it? Perhaps you can reconstruct the old program-version by seeing the content in the folders of my old profile-file appended below (explorer screen shot) I would be grateful if You could help me retrieving my old data (Inbox, sent etc.).

Please advise how I can get get the correct IMAP server address. I need it for Google Data Migration .

I am migrating .mbox file to my new google workspace

I have tried entering server name under server settings(imap.gmail.com) but unfortunately that does not seem to work.

9-4-2024--For months the filters for my messages have not ALL worked right. Some of the older ones may work. The new filters disappear. I'm thinking it is because the Create Filter page does not display all the way to the bottom of the page so I can see and click ok to save it. Please fix this so the Create Filter page will RESIZE so I can save the filters I create. Mozilla Thunderbird programmers--Can't you write a program better than this?? Why can't you fix a problem that has been there for months maybe a year? Whatever is causing the problem please fix it.

I can't seem to update my Thunderbird mailing lists. I know how to do it, and I go through all the steps to add an address, click "OK" but the mailing list remains unchanged. And when I try to create a whole new mailing list, it lets me do it--that is, create the mailing list--but there are no addresses in it. I attach a couple of screen shots:

First, before I hit OK. Second, after I hit OK.

This has been going on for at least a few months. I thought an update would help but it didn't. Please advise how to fix this problem.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thunderbird keeps crashing. That is about all that I can tell you. It started this morning (/when I got to work I fist noticed it). I have not used any add ons. I have been submitting crash reports. Crash data avaiable on request. I uninstalled and re installed, same result; crashes immediately on start up.

Please assist.

Thank you

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

Whenever I try to open up my emails in my Thunderbird email Program I keep being requested to enter a password and it doesn’t seem to work properly. How can I fix this? It’s only with my Outlook emails my husband and my mother have the same issue please help.

Received message from Microsoft they are changing over to the New Modern Authentication as of Sept. 16th. Thunderbird does support Modern Authentication for using a third party But do I need to do anything?

 I can't change my server settings with SMPT from changing the "normal password"to" OAuth2"  though I can change the IMAP server from "normal password" to "OAuth2". Is this neccesary>
Please help, I've been a user of TBird for over 25 years!  I don't care for the "bells and whistles " that other sites offer.  I love the simplicity of TBird.  mj

I use Thunderbird on Windows 10; I have a verizon.net email account which I access through Thunderbird. Verizon.net email is transferred to the server from AOL Mail, and I have been able to get and send my emails on Thunderbird at verizon.net for years. This week, after Thunderbird's latest update, I have not received any incoming mail on Thunderbird, but I can see my emails on AOL Mail. The technical expert I consulted deduced that the problem is with Thunderbird such that AOL is not connecting to the incoming mail server, even after the password was changed. I can send messages successfully from Thunderbird; the outgoing mail works.

Hello Thunderbird, Lovin' your Work, but!... The Thunderbird Calendar 'search' timeline has become very limited. I used to be able to search all past present and future entries, but now all I get is 'Today' onward up to 'next 12 months'... that's it! I really need to be able to find more than that, particularly 'past' events. I'm sure I'm not alone in asking if the ability to search 'All Entries' can be re-introduced with future updates of the Thunderbird Calendar.

FYI, I am using Thunderbird Version 128.2.0esr on a 2015 iMac with macOs Big Sur version 11.4.

Cheers and thanks in antici...pation!

I've been a Thunderbird user for years. I have no idea what they changed recently, but it's incredibly, incredibly SLOW, almost to the point of unusability. Even something as simple as deleting emails.

I usually do these in chunks -- select multiples and delete. We're not talking about hundreds of emails at at time here, just maybe 5-15. Select them all, hit delete, and it should take just a couple of seconds to delete the messages. It did, in the past. But lately, it's taking so long that I could leave and make a sandwich, and when I come back, maybe it will be done. Maybe it will still be working, though, or maybe it will have locked up because it was taking so long.

It's pretty difficult to get work done at this rate.

Thunderbird email system has become so bad at blocking outgoing emails both private and business as suspected spam that it is beyond the joke; if this keeps up i will be forced to stop using this system.Ive had all settings checked by computor tech. Jim .

I have both Gmail and Aol accounts on my installation, 115.9.0. My aol account is behaving funny. If I choose to display only unread emails, the screen goes blank and no messages show. I then click on sent message, click back on incoming and the messages reappear in the "all" messages display. The Gmail account is just fine, I can click between "All" and "Unread only" with no issues. Can't figure out what's going on.

Please help - I'm in the middle of an email sales campaign and losing sales.

Windows 10 My email addresses are mile_oak@rogers.com and i75dave@rogers.com

I use Thunderbird email as my client between Rogers/Yahoo and had difficulties receiving or sending email messages with the Yahoo servers this morning. This has now been cleared up by Rogers Tech staff and I can now see and respond to my incoming emails through the Rogers/Yahoo website.

However, I have lost the contact between Thunderbird and Rogers/Yahoo.

The Rogers Technician changed my passwords this morning and I have done the same under "Passwords" in Thunderbird.

The Yahoo server is set at pop.mail.yahoo.com, with SSL/TLS and OAuth2

My settings for i75dave@rogers.com (my most important address) Outgoing traffic is:

Server: smtp.broadband.rogers.com Port 465 Security SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2

Thanks - I'm desperate to resolve this server to client communication problem

Opening a message in Thunderbird i get this instead of the contents of the message --Apple-Mail-8B93079C-6931-440C-A880-44533077DD28-- The message comes in clearly in GMAIL. Why is this happening.

I would like to install Thunderbird on two separate Win7 networked computers and use the same "Thunderbird Data" on a NAS for both. I already use the Data on the NAS for computer number 1, but trying to run Thunderbird on the second computer gives the well-known error "Thunderbird already running..."

I received the following email from Microsoft. Is this a scam or is it for real? If real, how do I continue to access my email through Thunderbird?

"Immediate Action Required: Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access.

The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods."

I am not very computer savvy, so any help would be appreciated. Jo

I got an email from Microsoft saying that I'm using a third-party email app that will not work after Sept 16. What do I need to do to keep getting emails through thunderbird?
