Thunderbird Mobile was installed 1 hour ago. Deleting emails on Thunderbird Mobile deletes on device only, but not on server. Accounts have been imported from desktop version. Server types are IMAP Mail Server.

HI, as of 25.11.2024 Thunder running 128.4.3esr (64-bit) on windows 10 pro

Today all my new emails are showing in local folder as unread despite having filters set up to move emails to various sub folders.

In effect the mail is now in two places, the sub folder and the local inbox. Suddenly I have hundreds of emails showing as unread in my local folder and copies in sub folder as well Not had an issue like this in 12 years of using thunderbird.

I have tried setting up new filters , have run them but the originals in local inbox refuse to move out

Any help much appreciated.

Hallo, ich war 3 Wochen in Urlaub. Danach habe ich auf dem PC normalerweise jede Menge Mails, Spam usw. Jetzt überhaupt keine. Woran liegt das ? Das Einzige, was mir einfällt, daß ich auf meinem Norton Programm eine Aktualisierung von Thunderbird gemacht habe. Ergebnis : meine bisherige Version war 115.16.3 , die neueste Version ebenfalls 115.16.3. Was kann ich tun ? Danke, Wilhelm

ich will meine pers email Sieg1@beasieg.de einrichten, hatte bisher siegenglert@gmx.de diese hat das programm übernommen jetzt kann ich Sieg1@beasieg.de nicht mehr installieren

Thunderbird was working perfectly for Yahoo and another email (and the gmail inbox).

It is still working for for the second account and the gmail inbox!

The last yahoo message received via Thunderbird was at 22 November 2024 at 12.15 pm. I can see from the yahoo account online that I have received several more emails since then.

I tried to send a yahoo email today using Thunderbird;  result "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com ...failed. I haven't changed anything. 

The Yahoo account server settings show: POP mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com port 995 SSL/TLS OAuth2

There's no SMPT server information displayed in settings.

Re the gmail inbox, when I set up thunderbird on my new computer in May and imported the email accounts, everything was present and correct except for the gmail account for which only the inbox and contents arrived.

There's no problem with any of the accounts when I log in online.

Can anyone help me with three questions please:

Is there a problem with Thunderbird 128.4.3esr?

If not how do I get it working again without having to do anything difficult or technical?

How can I recover the other folders from the third email account? I imported the account by copying the Thunderbird roaming profile in exactly the same way as for the other two accounts which arrived intact.

Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm desperately trying to disable Firefox from starting when my windows starts up. I've tried disabling startup apps.

I've tried setting some settings to false like toolkit.winRegisterApplicationRestart & browser.startup.windowsLaunchOnLogin.disableLaunchOnLoginPrompt and this worked for a while and now it's back to starting with windows.

The box is unticked in menu - settings - Open Firefox automatically when your computer starts up. I tried al-sorts of things but I'm still having the same problem

Does anyone have any possible solutions I can try please? At the moment I have a script to end task as I can't find any other solution.

I'm having trouble with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but can't get it to work right on the new one. The version info it gives is "128.4.4esr (64-bit)"

Specifically two problems. (1) Every time it starts it asks for my yahoo server's password. Even though I check the box asking it to remember it, it doesn't. Under Settings->Privacy&Security (under Passwords)->SavedPasswords, the list is empty. (2) Second problem (may be same as first, but in a different form) Whenever I try to send an email message, it fails. It waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings (which I have done, and all looks OK).

Thanks Bill Marshall, bill.marshall@verizon.net

Running 115.16.3 because I have a Windows 7 Pro computer. Fine for years! Then a series of power failures and system crashes.

Now Thunderbird looks very plain - black and white lines, no 3D blue colors, Delete button is text only, it used to be red. Entire interface looks simple and old.

Checked my outgoing and incoming server settings. They match the settings in Edison+ Email that I use on my phone. Phone is getting new messages, Thunderbird on my desktop is not.

Outgoing mail asks for a password each time, which it did not before. I know the password, but what a pain.

I have hundreds, actually thousands of emails saved in local folders. They are all there, but I am worried if I can migrate them if I move it to a different computer.

My inbox has nearly 300 messages now, and growing rapidly.

HELP!

If there is one thing I have always disliked is 'email migrations. When deciding to switch from Thunderbird to Outlook for the MBOX data of 2024-25, I was expecting to face a really annoying and long process. But surprisingly, it wasn’t. Here’s what happened.

I began by defining tools that would help in the transition to be smooth. Out of trying many options, I found the WebbyAcad MBOX converter software. It appeared to be reviewed and featured well, so I said let me try it.

The general preparation was very simple. The tool was downloaded, and I imported the MBOX files and then chose PST as the file type to save my results. The best part? It was having the ability to batch convert something, which would have taken me hours to do.

As soon as I clicked on “Convert,” I could hardly believe how fast a work of it was. That is an undeniable advantage – every mail, folder, and even attachment was intact. I did not even delete a single file, which was way faster than I anticipated.

That which I had probably estimated to take days, was actually achieved in minutes. These new PST files are quite compatible with Outlook 2024 and I had no problem at all trying to access all my data.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, there is a solution; email migrations don’t have to be a headache. There shouldn’t be any hitches if you get the right tool. In doing what I thought was an impossible mission after research, the WebbyAcad MBOX email migrator made it easy as pie.

I have three devices: my home computer (HC), my Android phone (AP), and the computer in my office (OC).

I want to sync everything between HC and AP. I also want to sync passwords and add-ons between HC and OC, but not bookmarks. These two computers have different bookmarks, and I don't want to mix them.

How can I achieve this?

What?: Using screensharing option in Google Meets stuns computer. Where?: Version 132.0.2 (64-bit) macOS 15.1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Google Meet meeting. 2. Click Share screen. 3. Select "Use operating system settings" - this is the only option available 4. Click Allow. Current behaviour: The screensharing feature stuns the computer, showing the loading mouse cursor for ever. I can't select the screen I want to share. The computer is unusable even after quitting Firefox. The computer should be restarted. Desired behaviour: The screensharing works normally.

Hello, I am planning to do a fresh Linux install and in this context I also want to setup Thunderbird completely new, starting with the default settings. However, there are two things I would like to backup and restore (export and import).

1. The information which emails I have explicitly labelled as "Junk"/"No junk"
2. The information from which domains I allow loading remote content

I think this makes a lot of sense because I can setup my accounts easily and the mails, addresses and calendars will be synced from the cloud, and view configuration is no big deal either. Only that kind of "user data" that was gathered over several years is something I want to hold on to, and be able to continue to use. Is this possible somehow? I am not afraid, e.g., to manually copy individual files from the profile folder, if that data is stored cleanly separated somewhere. Kind regards, Chris

Since moving to Windows 11 and reinstalling Thunderbird, I cannot access emails by this route. I have a domain hosted by Easily and can get to my emails directly through their Control Panel, but using the same email, password, ports etc through TB it fails to find the account. I have rechecked all the settings with Easily and tried several times entering them manually in TB, with the same result. What else can I do?
