Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well. I often find Thunderbird's search function challenging to use, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

For example, I recently searched for "<company name> shipped" to locate a tracking number, but even though the email contains all these terms, Thunderbird doesn't display it.

Is Thunderbird's search function really this flawed? Have any of you found tools to make it work better?

Thanks in advance for any help or for sharing your experiences with similar issues.

Debugging message filters and want to see the log. From message filters window I click box "Filter Log". It brings up the small config box of which a pic is attached. I can't find anyway to actually see or access the log. It must be hiding here somewhere ? ?

I have tried to clear the log so it is small in case it is large and takes long to load as I've seen elsewhere. No change.

I try to look this the "Activity Manage" which has some log like error messages but it is a mess of unordered seemingly random successes and some failures. This is another topic.

So, any guidance on how to use the filter log would be greatly appreciated.

I received an email from Microsoft saying I could lose emails on my hotmail account if I don't upgrade any third party mail applications to a version which uses "modern authentication methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps". I'm not tech savvy but do I assume this means I need to upgrade my Thunderbird account to satisfy their concerns and, if so, how do I do this? Thank you Geoff Smith

Xpunge no longer works since the Thunderbird update; the new one won't be ready until sometime in Sept. (hopefully). I installed the only other add-on that looks as though it should be able to get rid of what's in my junk mail folders. However, I can find no information on it.

It says it's in its own folder, but I can't find it anywhere. It doesn't seem to work automatically and I can't seem to refuse permission for it to read and move my messages (or any other permissions). Does anyone know anything about this? With Xpunge I clicked on it and all of the messages in my junk and/or trash folders (my choice) were deleted; that's what I'm looking for.

1. Where can I find it? It isn't on the toolbar. 2. Can I expect it to automatically move messages to my junk mail folder -- messages that I don't want junked? 3. Will it delete all of the mail in the junk folders of all of my accounts or just move mail to the junk folders? I'm computer-based.

I have an IMAP email account with Virgin Media. I have been backing up my Thunderbird email as follows (not sure where I found this method) WIN + R %appdata%/Thunderbird/ Ctrl A Drag all files to External Hard Drive When I open the Backup file there are two files Open 62hcjzp7.default-release (whatever that all means) there are loads of folders one being MAIL Thus contains all my folders from Local folders For every one there is a File and an MSF File How do/Can I restore these to my current version of Thunderbird? I have tried Import from another Thunderbird installation, Profile folder Open the back upp and Select Profiles Tick Mail messages. It says Compete but never copied anything It does create an empty folder under Local Folders in Thunderbird.

My question is can I restore from this backup? If not, what is the best way to backup and restore Thunderbird? Bill

I've been a Thunderbird user for years. I have no idea what they changed recently, but it's incredibly, incredibly SLOW, almost to the point of unusability. Even something as simple as deleting emails.

I usually do these in chunks -- select multiples and delete. We're not talking about hundreds of emails at at time here, just maybe 5-15. Select them all, hit delete, and it should take just a couple of seconds to delete the messages. It did, in the past. But lately, it's taking so long that I could leave and make a sandwich, and when I come back, maybe it will be done. Maybe it will still be working, though, or maybe it will have locked up because it was taking so long.

It's pretty difficult to get work done at this rate.

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

Hi,

I recently came across the Thunderbird versions are being mentioned as "esr".

In 115.0 version, I see "esr" is added from the 115.10.2esr to 115.14.0esr, the latest version. I also do not see any change in the installers provided. I would like to understand what is the difference between the previous versions and the versions with "esr"?

In 128.0 version, I can see only 128.0.1esr and 128.1.0esr. Is there no normal updates? Now only esr is supproted?

I had version 115.0 installed but I was able to upgrade to 128.1.0esr without any issue. Is this supported?

Regards, Asif

I've been using the same web hosting and email service for over 20 years -- a long time such that I've been on their "legacy" server for a number of years now. I've hesitated to switch to a new service, because they said they are not able to transfer my old emails to the new account.

I called them a couple of days ago on a different issue, and they advised me to migrate my account to a new service, promising that they now have the means to transfer my old emails. Thankfully I asked them to hold off, because I later got an email from their "escalated support team" that apparently I would need to backup all my email content, as it will not be transferred if I migrate to a new service.

My question is: How do I backup my emails so that they are still accessible if I switch to a new email hosting service? I am not at all tech savvy so any help would be most appreciated!

How do I revert back to a prior version of Thunderbird? The latest update has a great user interface but it has wrecked a few things for me. For some reason, some of the emails I put into folder (not in the inbox) now look almost like code. Also, I was using an ActiveSync addon to get an email address to work but now that is not working.
