Thunderbird Community Forum

I have moved from Mailbird to Thunderbird, a pat on my back I am really satisfied. I use POP3 so all my emails are downloaded to my computer. I keep two years of incoming and sent emails in Local Folders as follows: email account 1 year 2023 > Folders and subfolders organized per topic year 2022 > Folders and subfolders organized per topic The same for three other accounts. These occupy a lot of disk space, so I want to archive each email account with its folders and subfolders and move them to an external drive. Is this possible with Thunderbird? Please help enodio enobri17@gmail.com

At one time I had a version of Thunderbird that would allow me to bring in my Outlook emails. Now, I can't find it. And when I try to use version 102 or 115 it keeps updating to 128.1. Mozilla thinks I'm on some kind of release channel - whatever that is! So, am I no longer going to be able to get those Outlook emails? Thanks.

Yesterday was sending and receiving email to Microsoft forum. Today Thunderbird can't do either. Tbird on on Linux mint 17.3. Never had this problem before. Lost almost all Inbox entries and Sent files. and more in the left panel. Tbird version 60.6.1 64 bit. Email mail contacts OK. What should I do? Please help

Has Mozilla "Updated" its' Thunderbird mail client to fulfill Microsoft's new security login? Do I need to configure the mail client? Thank You for your Time in this matter!

Hi Would it be possible to add a feature where, when sending an email, I can set an "Awaiting Reply" reminder? The idea is that if I don't get a reply by a certain date/time, a reminder pops up so I can follow up with the person.

Thanks!

1) I get an email from (email@x) asking me to send information to (email address) 2) So I send an email to (email@x). I save this in Thunderbird 3) I then get a new message from (email@x) which asks me again to send the information in my previous email. This means they probably didn't receive the email sent in 2) or they didn't read it. 4) I click on reply to their message received in 3). I then want to attach the email which I sent previously in 2).

I cannot click on attach and select the email sent in 2) (which is saved in Thunderbird). I can of course click on the email sent in 2) and forward as an attachment, but I want it to be an attachment to the reply in 4) not a new email.

How should I proceed?

I'm trying to work out how to save two different profiles on the task bar (a profile for my work accounts and one for my personal accounts). I'm nearly there and even had it sort of working for a while but the solution wasn't reliable and something somewhere breaks it after a while. I was wondering if there's a more reliable version than the way I did it.

I basically followed the instructions for adding two firefox icons to the taskbar, replacing Firefox with Thunderbird with a few adjustments. (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/s2k5tt/have_multiple_firefox_profile_and_taskbar_icons/)

• Create two profiles.
• Create a Shortcut (on the desktop) for Thunderbird.
• Drag Shortcut to taskbar
• Open Thunderbird from the new icon.
• Enter Config Editor (Tools>Settings>Config Editor)
• Add taskbar.grouping.useprofile=true and browser.startup.blankwindow=false to the advanced config settings
• Close Thunderbird and open it up again. You should now get two Thunderbird icons on taskbar. Make sure both are pinned.
• Right-click one of the Thunderbird icon,right click the instance within and then properties. Replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P WorkProfile" in the Target edit box.
• Do the same with the other pinned icon but with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P PersonalProfile" in the Target edit box.

One problem I have is naming the the two icons after I've created them. Sometimes for no apparent reason they stop working and I have to re-apply the target setting changes.

Any other, more reliable ways of achieving this?

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

I tried to open a 'Punchbowl evite' from a friend, but was required to 'log into my email server again through the evite portal.' RED FLAG. I (stupidly) did, or tried to. The evite never opened, but the friend who appeared to have sent it said her email had been hacked and her whole address book had been receiving these 'Punchbowl evites.' This is an infection or phishing, which has disabled my Thunderbird. Even when I try to read an old AOL email already downloaded to my computer by Thunderbird, this fake AOL log-in page pops up, but at the top it says 'https://tsdtocl.com/'. I tried changing my direct AOL password. I tried blocking this website on Google Chrome using the 'Block Site' extension. Neither had any effect. Thunderbird is still locked out of my AOL, and the fake AOL website keeps popping up.

I would appreciate any advice you can offer.

I have just got the update for Supernova release running under Thunderbird Portable . I have a load of issues

1) Some tabs to get ADDRESS BOOK and SETTINGS in the tools menu dont show anything at all. Nothing happens when I click them.

2) When I look in ABOUT it says it cant check for updates due to internal error.

The basic functions work but I cant update settings or add to my address book because it wont give me the screens to do it and it wont update due to the internal error.

I have used thunderbird portable for years with no problem but tese are just the disasters I have found so far.

At my wits end with Thunderbird!

Have tried many many times now to remove from my Macbook Air and reinstall. Each time get a STAT command error or Incoming server already exists. Do not know how to fix this any more. Can I talk to someone in real time?

Reading the version notes on 128 it wasn't clear to me all that is changing. I am very happy with 115. The layout I use is the Folder view with a folder pane and a message pane. I do not use the cards view. Will this setup be essentially the same in 128?

Also, now that you have the new code will upgrading break my add-ins like it always used to before 115? The add-ins I currently use are: FileLink provider for Send, Header Tools Improved, and PopmailListRecipients.

thank you.
