I am trying to transfer the address book form an old to new macbook. I installed new tbird. Old mac has 115.18, new 128.6.0. I copied the .mab.bak, and also renamed as .mab to the /profiles/xxx.default folder and also tried to the /profiles folder. Also tried copying sqlite. The new tbird created a xxx.default.sqr folder at some point. I get onef of the old addresses only. I have wasted 3 hours. I am willing to un-install and start over. I am somewhat familiar with unix and using a Terminal

For some reason, I am getting message that the Certificate for server is not valid (etc.). I can not get or send my emails as of this morning. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue?

I want to sync my Thunderbird calendar on my win11 laptop with my new Samsung Z Flip 6 phone. I have a Google calendar on the phone, and I've ticked "Lightning" on it, but I'm not getting my entries transferred from my laptop.

Can anyone help, please?

After I've successfully logged in, why does Thunderbird continue to indicate my login has failed and asks me to login again, repeatedly? Do you know how I can fix this?

Just wondering if there was a way to change the behavior of Thunderbird. Currently, if I add a subfolder to an IMAP mail account, that folder will show up in the Unified Inbox. Yes, I know how to remove it from there but I'm getting tired of doing that each time I add a folder as I need to do it to multiple devices.

Thanks.

Hi,

Since upgrading to thunderbird 128.6.0esr, my shared google calendars no longer show any events.

The activity manager shows it is stuck trying to sync, but not going anywhere.

Onn checking the developer logs, the following messages are displayed.

Anybody else having this problem or know of a solution. (I have removed "CALDAV" and "TB SYNC" extensions - also installed "TB SYNC 4")

Thanks Paul

I am about to lose access to Outlook. My current settings show imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com and it is working. This is an sbcglobal.net account. When I look at what ATT says it should be due to changes they made it reflects imap.mail.att.net and smtp.mail.att.net. The ports are the same between both choices. It says on both of these when entered that it can't access and the user name or password is incorrect which is not the case. Any help out there???

bjr ma création d'un compte de messagerie hotmail sur une surface pro 3 est a priori bien faite en automatique, création validée, pour autant, après la création du compte, aucun message n'est téléchargé. La même procédure de création sur un autre PC donne par ailleurs totalement satisfaction et les messages se téléchargent bien merci pour avis cdlt Gérard

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.

peculiar problem, my wife's installation of Thunderbird seems to be corrupt somehow. she cannot make a new folder or subfolder, when you right click the option to create a new folder is not even there, the only way is file/new/folder but nothing happens...now that was weird enough but since this started we have both got new machines with a new installation of windows 11 and a new installation of thunderbird and yet the wife still has the same problem, we did import the profile from the old hard drive so could the problem have been imported with the profile.

I have changed a thousand settings from various help pages, I can program, build and repair PCs, and I run my own dedicated server so I am not a noob.

it seems that something somewhere is restricting the right-click menus and the facility to create folders and subfolders. HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLPPPP

Hello dear helpers!

I am currently trying to register my Gmail account with Thunderbird. Unfortunately, this is currently failing.

After I have entered my access data and confirmed in the Google browser that pops up that Thunderbird should have access to my Google data, the Thunderbird that pops up again says at the top of the screen that “the password is being checked” and at the bottom left of the screen it says “the access data is being sent to Google” or something similar.

After that, nothing happens. I get no error message and no message that anything has gone wrong or that there is an incorrect entry. I have waited 20 minutes, but nothing happens.

Then I tried to close the program, but this didn't work because it hung up or crashed. I then had to close Thunderbird manually via the Task Manager because it didn't respond even after repeated attempts to close it normally.

I then tried the same registration again. Unfortunately, the result was exactly the same.

The registration request also seems to be received by Google. I get the security notification for my login in my mail app. Google allows you to “Check activity” if you believe that the login attempt is not yours, but here it was me. I didn't click on anything there, so that can't be the reason.

Would someone be so kind as to help me here? I don't know what else I can do to link the accounts/register them with Thunderbird.

Hello!

Unfortunately Thunderbird refuses to save my password preferences.

I now have to enter my password every time I start it. Each time I enter it, I have also checked the box asking Thunderbird to save my password using the integrated password manager. After I have entered it and logged in successfully, I see that Thunderbird does not save it, because no saved password is displayed under “Privacy and security” -> “Passwords”.

I am using the latest version (I checked under “About Thunderbird”). I do not use CCleaner. My OS is Windows 10, my inbox works normally and I can see my emails and send new ones.

How can I fix the problem please?

Hallo liebe Helfer!

Ich versuche gerade meinen Gmail-Account bei Thunderbird zu registrieren. Leider schlägt dies aktuell fehl.

Nachdem ich meine Zugangsdaten eingegeben habe und im aufpoppenden Browser Google bestätigt habe, dass Thunderbird Zugriff auf meine Google-Daten haben soll, sagt das dann wieder aufploppende Thunderbird oben auf dem Bildschirm, dass "das Passwort geprüft wird" und unten links auf dem Bildschirm steht "die Zugangsdaten werden an Google gesendet" oder so ähnlich.

Danach passiert gar nichts mehr. Ich bekomme keine Fehlermeldung und keine Nachricht, dass irgendetwas schief gelaufen ist oder dass eine falsche Eingabe vorliegt. Ich habe 20 Minuten gewartet, aber es tut sich nichts.

Danach habe ich das Programm versucht zu schließen, aber dies ging nicht, weil es sich aufgehangen hat, beziehungsweise es ist gecrashed. Ich musste Thunderbird dann manuell über den Task Manager beenden, weil es auch nach wiederholten versuchen es normal zu schließen, nicht reagiert hat.

Hiernach habe ich die gleiche Registrierung nochmal versucht. Leider kam genau das Gleiche dabei raus.

Die Registrierungsanfrage scheint bei Google aber auch anzukommen. Ich bekomme die Sicherheitsbenachrichtigung für mein Einloggen nämlich in meiner Mail-App angezeigt. Bei Google kann man die "Aktivität prüfen", wenn man glaubt, dass der Einloggeversuch nicht von einem selbst ist, aber hier war ich es ja. Angeklickt habe ich dort also nichts, so dass es daran auch nicht liegen kann.

Wäre jemand so nett mir hier weiterzuhelfen? Ich weiß nicht, was ich noch machen kann, um die Accounts zu verknüpfen/bei Thunderbird zu registrieren.

I have two email boxes (chdw@iinet.net.au & wwrs@iinet.net.au) Both boxes have been working well. This morning all was ok with wwrs but now this evening all my emails in this inbox have disappeared. The computer has not been touched all day. This is my work inbox and some of those emails have all sorts of info that I need. What can I do?

Some emails I receive, when I reply to them, don't correctly display the email (body text) correctly. It looks like Thunderbird is choosing the wrong font colour for the reply email text and I'm after any info on why this happens and how to fix it.

Attached are two screen shots. "original.jpg" shows the original email and "reply.jpg" is my reply email. It doesn't always happen and it *may* be emails sent out by Zendesk.

I'm on latest TBird 128.6.0esr but it's been happening for the last few releases.

When I opened Thunderbird to get and read my new email I received this error message after I could see that Thunderbird had found new messages.

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I checked the hard drive space on all of my hard drives and I have GBytes of space and in PREFERENCES for the hard drive, WRITE is allowed. In fact all items listed in Preferences is set to allow.

I've rebooted the computer and even had Windows check my hard drive for errors and it found no problems. What do I now need to do? Thank you. Fred Berney
