all of a sudden Thunderbird would not "Send" any email ... a box comes up wanting the password for the Outgoing Server but Thunderbird will not accept the password which is correct and has actually been used before when this same problem happened

Is it possible to download Thunderbird onto an older windows 7 computer to collect my emails from a server where they still exist? (It is going to shut down soon.! ) I am currently using Outlook 2016 & POP and need to upgrade to a new PC and wish to take all my emails going back to 2018, when I go to it, In a form that I can read.! I understand taking emails to a new PC is fairly easy with Thunderbird which is why I want to come to you.

After I have downloaded all my old emails from old server using POP, Can I change Thunderbird to receive from the new server which is IMAP .? and can this change be made seamlessly within the Thunderbird programe so as to then continue receiving mails as normal? Please confirm this is all possible

This evening, Thunderbird has updated to the new version (can't see where the version number is held, unfortunately). Whenever I try to download new emails, I now get the message "Error with account [email address]. Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop3.iomartcloud.com responded: Mate, the command must be one of CAPA, USER, PASS or QUIT." Mails are still accessible through the mail client on my phone and through webmail, just not through Thunderbird.

Hello I donated yesterday, seems every time I make a donation something go array. Maybe a coincidence

Today I have 2 problems.

1. I can't see the text in any of my sent emails. The emails are there but the field for the text is blank. I tride restarting Thunderbird, I tried restarting my computer. Still Blank. Any thoughts on how to get them back.

2. In my inbox with random emails, not many, the text will change from what is readable to something that looks like HTML coding. Here is an example.

When I click the button to “repair a folder”, some e-mails have disappeared.

The inbox file is too heavy and cannot be opened as a text file.

I moved the defaults file to an external HDD and saved it over the defaults file on my computer. I could not restore them.

Is there any other way to recover my email?

Have used Thunderbird for many years without problem but today: 1. Thunderbird asked to compact Inbox folder said OK 2. After Compacting appear to have lost all emails back to 24th Jan 2023 emails prior to that date are OK) 3. Emails which had arrived today are shown with subject and time but on opening they are blank except for message ----=_NextPart_000_00BC_01D6069F.D8AB25B0- 4. Messages which came in after compacting were OK and readable. 5. Following comments previously made tried inbox/properties/repair folder. 6. Following attempted repair messages that were readable at 4. above were now blank except for the message "Next part...." as in 3 above.

A. Can I recover my lost emails? B How do I prevent Thunderbird from corrupting new emails when it compacts folder?

Cheers

Suddenly, Thunderbird lost all emails. I think it happen after I used the "AddressBook". I deleted some duplicate entries from there.

Somebody suggested to check the Indox file c:\Users\trei\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\j5akdx98.default\Mail\pop.GMail.com\Inbox

There I have found indeed that "X-Mozilla-Status" was 0000 instead of 0001. I closed TB, did a batch replace, deleted the msf files and indeed the emails were back. However soon after that they disappeared again. Now the status is correct (0001) but the messages still won't appear.

Hello, From yesterday we have a problem opening Thunderbird. It doesn't load, when we click 2 times on the icon it shows a text, which says Couldn't load XPCOM. We tried restarting the PC but it doesn't get better. May you help by telling us how we could fix it?

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.

I am an aged pensioner of limited means & have already provided monthly donation to Mozilla & possibly other parts thereof & now you're asking for more donations from those in favor of / & already supporting. Does you're management of various aspects of your endeavours need to be rationalised??? & so increase support for your causes? Thunderbird, Mozilla & perhaps other aspects thereof?

I have 2 email addresses in use [edited from public] but this form has not been assembled to be informed of such situations!

Hallo, ich habe Windows 11 neu installiert, nun habe ich das Problem, das angeblich mein Mail Passwort nicht stimmt. Ich habe schon alles ausprobiert, die korrekten Passwörter von T-Online eingebeben, die Passwörter geändert, nichts hilft. Ich habe auch schon Thunderbird neu installiert, doch alles ohne Erfolg. Könntet ihr mir bitte weiterhelfen, das ich dieses wundervolle Programm wieder nutzen kann?

Hier noch mein System: i7 6700 K, WIN 11 HOME, GTX 970Grafikkarte, 500 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Harddisk,

Danke im Voraus

Thunderbird on my computer is using a huge amount of system resources. It's using about 730 MB of RAM on any given day. The app also stalls for over 5 seconds if I'm trying to click between any two things in relative succession.

Comparatively, my outlook program uses only 130 MB of ram or so at the same time. The total RAM usage was using approximately 55% of my system resources. I've tried doing the reset and boot into the safety mode, but it just goes back when booted normally.

My computer has 16MG or RAM, 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1355U, 1700 Mhz, 10 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s), using Windows 11 Pro

Is it possible to open an email file from 2005? When I left the company I was working for in 2005, I copied what I thought was the main email files. I was hoping to load it into the latest version of Thunderbird. See attached screenshot for the files I saved. Thanks!

OK, this is really complicated, and involves trying to rescue an old Eudora account to Thunderbird. If anyone wants the whole gory story, please ask and I'll tell all. ( I used Eudora Mailbox Cleaner and Eudora Rescue.) But the simple question is: is it possible to import a Thunderbird profile created on a Mac into a Thunderbird program on a PC? Thanks for any help.

Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 (German version) When I open an email with attachments and I select "save all", Thunderbird crashes. An apology dialogue box opens and I can either close or restart Thunderbird. This started happening several weeks ago. Would be grateful for any help.
