Unable to fix the side by side error, my only option may be to re-install Thunderbird or migrate to Outlook.

My question is whether its feasible to re-install Thunderbird and still preserve my old profile and emails. I haven't done any backups of Thunderbird but do still have all my emails on the server.

Thanks Lance

PS I have tried all the suggested fixes as shown in the following link to the side by side error: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1439559#answer-1659630

Will this work: 1. uninstall TB 2. Install TB and let it automatically set up my five (5) Hotmail email addresses using oauth2 3. Import my TB profile OR copy my profile folder (with all emails & address books) into new installation and still have oauth2 in server settings? OR will it revert back to old non oauth2 server settings?

Thanks in advance & God Bless

cox migrated their email system to yahoo but i dont believe yahoo uses usernames anymore, just email addresses so i cant set up my email to thunderbird since it requires a username and like i said i dont think one exists anymore.

I'm migrating Thunderbird from my old Windows 10 computer to a new Windows 11 computer.

I've installed Thunderbird v115.12.2 and successfully moved all my accounts, emails, calendars, etc., to the new computer.

Several things are NOT working correctly, though:

1 - Settings will not open. Here is the message from the error console:

Error: No such tab mode: preferencesTab

   openTab chrome://communicator/content/utilityOverlay.js:257

   openOptionsDialog chrome://messenger/content/mailCore.js:628
   oncommand chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xhtml:1

2 - Customize menu does not open

3 - The hamburger menu in the upper right corner does not open

4 - The spaces toolbar on the far left is missing

5 - Events and Tasks are missing from the menu

6 - My calendar is nowhere to be found - I can't find a way to access it (on my old computer, I clicked on the calendar icon in the spaces toolbar on the left side of the window)

Thunderbird on my old computer was also running v115.12.2 when I backed up the profile folder to move it.

I tried downgrading to Thunderbird v102. I had all of the same issues listed above PLUS all my accounts and emails disappeared. -- I've brought it back up to v115.12.2.

Could someone please help me get Thunderbird working correctly?

I am having trouble manually configuring an AOL email account (username@verizon.net). AOL's instructions say to manually configure the account. I tried to do that twice, once with IMAP and the other with POP.

Now, I have two email folders in Thunderbird that I cannot use. They are both empty because I get a message box that says "Login to server imap.aol.com with username@verizon.net failed." when I try to use them. When I use the same login credentials to login to the website mail.aol.com, they work.

I have to contact AOL as to why when I try to access the account with an email client (Thunderbird and Outlook) I'm getting password errors. In the meantime, how do I delete the two email folders created incorrectly in Thunderbird?

Thanks for your help.

After downloading an update, the only thing that I can click that works is the Firefox button. Once in Firefox, when I click anything, the window appears for a millisecond and disappears. So I can go nowhere.

I am communicating using my iPhone, not the computer with the problem.

I recently upgraded Thunderbird from v102 to v115. Since installing that upgrade, starting Thunderbird in my email inbox results in the inbox message list window showing a message received days ago at the bottom of the listing. The scrollbar is not all the way at the bottom. I can scroll down to the bottom of the list to see the last message received, but this should not be necessary, and this is a change from the way v112 worked.

If I close Thunderbird with a newsgroup or an inbox subfolder selected, then when I next open Thunderbird and select the inbox the listing goes all the way down to the last received message as it should.

How can I make this behavior the default when starting Thunderbird in the inbox? Thanks!
