Dear friends. I have bee using portable version of Thunderbird for years on my pendrive. I have a need of using it on Windows 10 32bit and Windows 64bit alternately. And I never had any problems. Thunderbird portable was first configured on Windows 10 32bit system and also used on the 64bit one. Last version of Thunderbird portable working fine on both machines was 115.13.0. But after several updates downloaded automatically my Thunderbird 64bit portable is no longer compatible with 32bit Windows. Message on 32bit system is: "You are trying tp use an older profile" or something like that. Fortunately I have a backup of my Thunderbird, I turned all updates off and still can use 115.13.0 on both 32 and 64 bit systems. But I know that I need to update Thunderbird regularly for security reasons. How can I resolve this problem? After any update in my 64bit OS Thunderbird is no longer operational on 32bit.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards Vlad

I cannot view previously opened emails or their attachments, Inbox only. I can still read sent messages and the attachment. If I receive a new message I can view it and its attachment, I have some old emails that I haven't opened and if I open them I can view them. It is just previously opened emails. Did I click on something by mistake? Or is this system problem?

Requesting for your assistance in the process of downloading the emails from Google workspace to Thunderbird. Per our testing, only those unread messages are being downloaded to Thunderbird but in the actual transfer, it seems all emails are being downloaded. Due to the huge file, at some point, it hangs and we're not sure which emails are not transferred yet.

Tbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit), Windows 10 64 bit

When forwarding an email, the background colour of the forwarded email is used for the background colour of my explanatory email above the forward so this changes from white to the background colour of the forwarded email. It also changes the indent to jam new text in my email against the page edge. This also happens in troubleshooting mode.

This does not happen with a reply.

I received a message that Thunderbird needed to archive my Emails, there were too many. I did it, now when I go to the older Emails there is nothing there. The Email is blank, some have strange letters and numbers that do not make sense. Could please tell me what happened to the content of the Emails? Thanks

The certificate for this server, pop3.autome.jp, is invalid. Do not proceed as someone may be attempting to spoof this server.

Can't receive mail due to the above error please show me how to fix it I have tried many ways but still can't receive mail

The message in image pops up, TB saves file as BAK, creates new empty .dat

As I did a while back, I am creating a "MASTER FILTER" file for use by ALL of my many email accounts. Assembled them into one .txt file in MSWord, then save, renamed as .dat and copie into profile in place of the existing. Closed TB before pasting, then re-opened and got the error.

I suspect there is some type of error or corruption in my custom file, but have no way to test it or otherwise find out.

Will gladly email my file to anyone that thinks they can check it.

I keep trying to configure ThunderBird for gmail. receiving email works fine, but not sending. i always get this message: Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. The Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings | Outgoing Server (SMTP)' Please help!

I have numerous mailing lists in my address book. Every time I move an email address from "All Address Books' to a mailing list, it disappears from the mailing list it is in.

For example: 2 Mailing List: Monday Group & Tuesday Group. I want Johndoe@abc.com in both lists. I 'drag & drop' the Johndoe@abc.com to the Monday Group. When I 'drag & drop' it to the Tuesday Group, it disappears from the Monday Group. How I add the an email address to both the Monday Group & the Tuesday Group?

Thanks.

Used Thunderbird happily for many years to read my Gmail account but a couple of years ago I had to replace my laptop. Thunderbird stopped working, returning the profile missing or inaccessible error. I have used Web-based Gmail since, but I miss Thunderbird, which I still support! Just downloaded the latest version but it makes no difference. Is there a solution? I'm no whizz, but my husband could help, if instructions require more expertise than I have. Thanks!

I just installed updated to 115.14.0 for my OS 10.13.6. I had a very old version of Thunderbird 45... I went through the gmail sign on procedure and it looked like it was successful but I can't download or send any messages. I have verified incoming and outgoing server settings on Gmail. Any insight would be great!

When I try to download messages I get a message that it can't connect or that it times out. When I send messages: Sending of the message failed. "The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again."

incoming server settings: imap.gmail.com and I have tried pop.gmail.com (Profile currently shows Pop mail server but I have it set to imap.) SSL/TLS I have tried ports 993 and 995 Auth: OAuth2

Outgoing server settings: Smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Auth: OAuth2

I have a mailing list on Thunderbird for both my local community service club and one for family news. I have used these lists for years and years. However, last night when I tried to send out an email to the community service group it wouldn't send. Upon further investigation, I found that the list was now empty - no emails were in the list! When I tried to add them back in and hit "ok" they did not stay on the list - just disappeared!

The same thing happened to my Family List, but not to our Beekeepers list. It seems they would all be gone, but some are gone and some are not!

Is there any way to get this to work again? I set up another list for the Community Service group with a slightly different Title, but that wouldn't work either.

Thanks! David & Renee

I have some Gmail accounts that are approaching the size limit, but I still use them, and want to keep them. Much of the content is archive material, and I might occasionally want to search and retrieve from it, but I do not need to have it remain and taking up space on the servers, as I could store this on my drives and do this offline. What options are available to keep a an email account synced on their servers (IMAP) for current email content and save archived content on my drives (POP), preferabl;y so that I could move them back and forth between the two?

I am currently on Ver 115.12.2 (32-bit), but I've had this problem over several versions. I recently downgraded from the 64bit version (for a different reason), it had the same issue.

Old messages in the Inbox are listed twice, including those that have been read. New incoming messages are not duplicated, messages where I've deleted the duplicates are not again duped. Messages that get filtered to or moved to folders are not duped. Old messages that are in folders are not duped.

I have several email accounts in TB, and I only see this on my most active- of course! I have compacted all folders many times and rebuilt the Global Database with no effect. I tried opening in Troubleshooting mode and they are still duplicated. It is a POP account.
