Hi, I am following instructions to download and import all my previous google account files over to the new account. Google Takeout instructed to use Mozilla Thunderbird. I downloaded as a zip, installed the ImportExportTools NG as an Add On in Thunderbird and have been trying unsuccessfully to import the files. Any tips?

I started up my machine this morning, for Thunderbird 115.13 (I could've sworn that I had a later version last night, but updates and version numbers are Mozilla's problem, not mine) tells me that I can no longer use my profile with this fancy new version and need to create another one. After fuming about that idiocy for a while, I canceled the process and imported everything from my old profile.

It fouled up mightily on the passwords, but I got past that obstacle course.

Now, I see that my "Today Pane" is empty. Looking at the calendar, I see why: Thunderbird apparently pretended to import three calendars, but skipped all but two old events. I can create more empty calendars, but that is incredibly unhelpful. One calendar is local. One is an online ICS file published by an organization. And the third (the one that had two events picked up) is subscribed to an OwnCloud account's calendar, and may have worked. The first is obviously the most important, since I'd rather not spend time working out the database schema so that I can manually input every single event and appointment.

What hoops do I need to jump through to refill my calendar? I'm running on Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, with the Thunderbird Flatpak (commit c2e09fc595198cf5c467ddad1fab56c0be512758584e16c3b933f2410968306a according to the command-line, if that gives any clues) installed. And again, I feel like that setup used a significantly later version of Thunderbird recently, so figuring out how to undo Flatpak's decision to downgrade would also presumably solve the problem.

I stupidly deleted Thunderbird and now i lost my addresses ad not sure i can get them back can someone remote and help me with it see this but too complicated for me for me i had a guy from Just answers do it he made a test profile and it took up of space and i saww all sorts of profiles so i thoughtit would work removing it but it did not i removed and lost all profiles

had to totally  uninstall and reinstall  and now  i an not  get it back

'bold text'bold textOn 6/24, Juno Security <security@support.juno.com> sent me an email that Thunderbird downloaded that my account had been compromised, & I needed to reset my password. I chanced my password in Juno & put that same password into Thunderbird [I think] Since then I have needed to use that new password to open the Thunderbird program, but Thunderbird won't download email from my Juno popmail to Thunderbird. Thanks for your help.

I recently tried moving the thunderbird profile folders to a different hard drive (D) as they were bloating up my boot drive (C). After unsuccessfully attempting to move them through thunderbird itself, I manually dragged them onto a different drive and attempted to import the settings via the import tool, to no avail. After restarting thunderbird, it reset itself completely and I had to log into all the emails tied to it again. It then proceeded to somehow redownload my profiles onto the original hard drive (C), but all the local files, despite being present in AppData/Roaming, are not present in thunderbird itself.

Any help recovering those local folders would be greatly appreciated.

I want emails that I mark as important "starred" to automatically go to a separate folder when I star them. This would preclude the need to do it manually every time I star something.

Can I do this with filters or some other way? If so, how do I do this?

Thanks!

For the last few months an important feature stopped work and has side effect when trying.

I receive a lot of emails that require a response, and have a button for approve/deny or reply button within the email. In the past, you click on button and it would popup a prepopulated email for response. Now, when attempting, nothing happens, no email automatically pops up to reply. It also has the side effect after attempting, if you click on an other email afterwards, even if it was already downloaded, it show a blank in the windows pane. I have to close TB and restart for things to work again. I now have to open outlook to use the approve/deny buttons. I thought it might have been a change by the sender email, but I am seeing it across the board with any email that need to popup a new email by clicking a button or link with the email. I also went back to previous emails where I know the approve button worked six months ago.. but hitting approve now does the same thing; nothing. And I have to restart TB. Did some change in TB a few months ago? I am seeing the same behavior on all devices.

In the above link, In the step where it says: 4. Select Authentication method: OAuth2 (instead of Normal password).

I don't see the option OAuth2 in the list of Authentication methods.

I need this in order to accommodate microsoft's recent changes.

Hi, Recently Kaspersky antivirus (Premium) started picking up potential threats. It points to files in C: users\lther\appdata\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\tzldd93i.default\mail\pop3.iafrica.com\sent....

I have deleted the files in Thunderbird under sent files, but they still get picked up by Kaspersky. There is no option to delete them in Kaspersky, only to exclude or ignore. I do not want to manually delete all sent files, I cannot see the individual files in windows (win 10) anyway.

Is there a way to fix this. Kaspersky support have tried but no success.

Regards Leon

My Mozilla was working and downloading emails yesterday and then last evening I checked for mail and then tried downloading mail and received a message saying that my account was being processed, please wait

hope you can help Karen M Rist

The Thunderbird "copy to" option stopped working sometime in the last few weeks. I have historically (for many years) used his option to copy important emails to a "Local" account. I noticed today that this function is no longer working. It will not "copy to" any email even to a subfolder within the same email account. I am running window 10 and thunderbird which are both up to date.

I keep getting messages that the hotmail server is down or that I need to reenter my password. with ms going to a new authentication protocol why is there no information on this site on how we can continue to use tbird with hotmail.

I tried to go back to an older version an it said i would not loose everything whiich i lost all my addess book

have to start all over again and  do not want to
