Thunderbird Community Forum

and I immediately began scrambling to get it back. I found this somewhere: "Don't Delete Files" is the preferred option because it saves the old profile's folder and allows you to recover the files to a new profile. So that gave me hope because that's what I had clicked (unfortunately, it was right before I saw the cancel button over on the right). That's what I get for being in a hurry I guess.

Anyhow, after 4 days of reading support forums and tons of trial and error, I'm no closer to restoring that profile than when I first started (although I've learned a lot about what does NOT work).

Btw, both my profiles have always been set up as POP3 at Gmail, although if I ever get this current problem sorted out I'll be shopping for a different POP3 provider. But that's another story.

I know how to create a new profile with Profile Manager. And I found the Profiles folders under both Thunderbird folder as well as ThunderbirdOLD folder. Have I been on the right track so far?

In the Thunderbird/Profiles folder, I don't see a folder with the deleted profile name (except the new ones (duds) I've since created ). On the other hand, I don't see the name of the profile that I did NOT delete either, but somehow it seems to be working just fine. Maybe it's the ".default" folder or ".default-release" folder? I've only ever had two profiles and I may have created the non-deleted profile first, so did that one end up being named .default? -shrug- I have no clue.

Anyhow, in the ThunderbirdOLD/Profiles folder, I also see ".default" as well as ".default-release" folders too. But in addition, I'm seeing a ".deletedprofile" named folder. So that's where I originally thought my several dozen email folders with several thousand emails and Address Book etc are hiding. But I've copied all the above mentioned folders into the several new Profiles I've created, on a trial and error basis but so far..... no luck. All I get when I open one is the new set up screen to set up a new pop3 account.... which I can do, but that's just starting from scratch without any of my saved data. I'm running out of ideas.

Where am I going wrong?

Comment résoudre ce problème ? Merci de votre aide

Thunderbird has always worked well until a few months ago. Still receive emails but am unable to send them. If I could have some clear and not too complicated procedure to correct this I would appreciate it.

I run Thunderbird on both my desktop and laptop computers and often move emails to local folders. How can I keep the two installations of my local folders in sync?

Today while using the email got message to compact folder so i did and left it, after 30 min came back with a message that TB crashed, reopened it and found that i can see the emails subject but they don't open. Searched the form and tried the repair option but after it finished it deleted all the emails from 2018 till now and i can see the emails of 2017 only (the first year of usage) -i tried deleting the .msd file but didn't help

-Created new profile and copied the inbox folder to it but still can see old emails only.

-- i sent a test email from my mobile to my email and it received it but the emails on the server that was downloaded before the crash are not downloaded again - i did search on email address that iam sure that we communicated recently only and i could see all the emails in the search but when i try to open it its empty

I recently had to re-install Thunderbird for technical reasons. I lost all my saved emails (in folders) but they are still on the server's website - Bigpond. I have contacted Bigpond but they state it is not possible to export them to my email account. Can you please help with a solution? Thanks Chris

I am running TB 115.14.0 on a Mac. The layout is unlike anything I've seen before and I can't find a way to restore the layout I am used to and greatly prefer. Most obviously there are no column headers and no separate "From" column. I have seen several references to similar problems and a couple of them referred to "card view" vs. "table view," but I see no reference to those settings anywhere in my installation and the pages mentioning them do not seem to be describing TB for Mac.

This problem means I have no way of sorting messages by sender. (I can of course search for a given sender but that is hardly the same thing.) This problem has me thinking for the first time in years of looking for another email client. I hope there is a solution.

Thunderbird did an automatic update late today and since then have been unable to send emails. Incoming emails appear to be working.

I am using a Gmail IMAP account

The error message is - " Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username stevematulick@gmail.com failed. "

When I then select cancel then get a further Error message -

"Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'. "

I'm getting a message the following message each time I try to send an email:

"Sending of the message Failed.

Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.googlemail.com. Please check the password and verify the "Authentication method" in Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'.

Under SMTP Server I see the following: Description:Google Mail Server Name: smtp.googlemail.com Port: 465 Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2

How can I get my outgoing email working again? It worked yesterday. Thanks, Carla

Life long outlook user and switched to Thunderbird a year ago. It has its quirks and I have learned to deal with them so all good. I run a micro business from home and totally rely on apps. The only app that is local is Thunderbird. All others are cloud-based. Wondering if Thunderbird will develop a cloud platform alongside the local app? Happy to pay a subscription.

When I open T bird in win 10 or 11, it takes a couple of minutes to scan all my email accounts, during which time the program is too slow to be useable. Is there a fix for that?

Although I have my email trash folder set up to keep trash emails until I decide to manually remove them, many or most of them disappear as soon as I click on the trash folder. How do I fix that so trash emails aren't automatically deleted?

Can someone please give me some troubleshooting tips on the Thunderbird email client on Windows 10?

I am running version: 128.1.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10, and it started a very annoying hang / non-responsive behavior recently, and updates do not fix the symptom.

Dear Representative, Every morning about 3 emails on my MacBookPro Thunderbird app have the right subject heading, but are populated with machine language from Oxford Academic like that below. I can read the real email on my phone or through Google, but not Thunderbird on my computer. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.

I have a gmail account scoteng19611@gmail.comset up in thunderbird, it was initially set up om my windows PC. On my iphone message only appear after several weeks if at all, WHY? My other gmail account arthur3thornton@gmail.com access via my browser seems to appear without any problem.

On 31 July, a day before the Thunderbird update from V115 to V128, the emails in my inbox no longer had reply or forward options and were addressed as coming from me as well as to me.

A yellow message at the bottom of each email read: "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity Marcus Relton <my email address>"

My email provider thinks Thunderbird mistakenly believes these emails to be drafts. I have added on FolderFlags, which now has a V128 version since I first experienced this problem last week.

I am supposed to be able to right-click the inbox, go down the drop-down menu to properties then see another dialogue box but this isn't appearing.

I can only reply to or forward emails by right-clicking in the message in the inbox and I can't click on links in the email. I have to open the link then cut and paste them.

Mail.coop, here in the UK is trying to find a solution, having hoped FolderFlags would work, but if anyone has any suggestions, please share.

I saw someone had a similar problem with their drafts folder in April but the suggested fix didn't solve it.

Thanks,

Marcus
