Thunderbird Community Forum

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

Hi. Is there a way to add travel time to an appointment just like you can do in google or apple calendar? It’s a great feature. When I add an adres to my appointment Apple calendar will automatically add the travel time by car from my home to the destination. I miss that feature in Thunderbird.

I solved this problem already by finding this thread previously :

If your thunderbird window shrinks when being displayed on your internal laptop monitor but expands when displayed on an external monitor (or vice versa) it is because if the value for

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx (Edit -> Settings -> General -> (all the way down) Config Editor -> (search for) layout.css.devPixelsPerPx)

is set to a positive value. It seems like the value has a reverse effect in between internal and external monitors (shrink one and expands one).

To fix this issue, set the value for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to -1

I am posting this question to display this solution to the public if anyone else experiences a similar issue.

My email are not download because of this Error. Thunderbird Esr Could not connect to the server. when i reinstall windows and also reinstall old version of thunderbird then i received emails. So kindly help me to resolve this Error. M.ARIF

G'day from 'Straya!

I have migrated Thunderbird from one Windows laptop to another, copying the profile and all included files. This mostly worked but has created a couple of issues I am trying to troubleshoot and could really use some help.

First thing probably worth noting is that I had an earlier version of Thunderbird on the old laptop than the new one downloaded to the new laptop. I don't that if that is the problem.

I have two email accounts which are both using IMAP. When I delete an email in Thunderbird, it keeps coming back and I now have multiple copies of that email. My storage is filling up 😒 Is there a setting I am missing?

Additionally, the migration does not seem to have brought over my contacts. Did I miss something?

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Just recently in my Messages folder it has just started displaying only the phone number contact without the name. How can I get it back to displaying the name and number please. Thank you,

Rick.

Dobrý den, na starém PC jsem měla v nastavení serveru typ POP. Aniž bych cokoliv měnila, při instalaci Thunderbird do nového PC mám najednou typ IMAP. Jak se typ serveru dá změnit? Jde mi o možnost zaškrtnutí volby Ponechat zprávy na serveru. děkuji Iva Gurecká

Can no longer send/receive email. Error message about "certificates", ports?, IMAP? settings......... Have tried various combinations and receive a variety of error massages.

I recently started to receive this error message: The folder 'Inbox on gassajx@xxxx.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." I have over 300 GB free disk space and full control of the file system. How can I make compacting folders work again?

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.

Hy, after the last update the emails I marked them with tags are no more in colors (title, sender etc...). I have no addons in my Thunderbird. I have tried suggested solutions I have read (restard in safe mode, clear cache, disable addons etc...).

Thank you for your help!!

Been following the steps on this page -- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new -- but I don't get the toolbar selection.

I don't get the right menu list shown there. See the attachment which shows what I get when I right click on "Unified toolbar."

Am I using a different version 128.2.0esr?
