Hi,

I have six IMAP email accounts that will cease to exist in a few weeks when I don't renew the domain/hosting where they reside.

Most of these accounts include invoices for purchases, and serial numbers etc that I need to have access to after the accounts will die, so just being able to read them offline. Even down the track when I inevitably build a new PC, I'll still want to have access to theses messages offline.

What is best practice for archiving or backing up these so I can still read them in future? Is there a way to archive so that I can read them in other clients in future? or I can only archive in a way that will be Thunderbird only?

Also... how do I get Thunderbird to allow me to read the messages from these accounts, without checking for new messages on these accounts, which would give error popups every time?

I've never had to do this before, and when I've searched around the results seem super confusing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In case its relevant, my current Thunderbird version is 115.12.1 and running latest update of Win 10.

Not sure of the best way to ask this. I am using TB 102.13 on a win 7 pro desktop machine.

Cox recently ported my email acount to Yahoo. There are about 100K emails in my cox inbox that were ported to yahoo. After modifying the server settings in TB so that I can use TB with the Yahoo server (I use POP settings), TB now sees all of the 100K emails as new, and each time I click the "get messages" button it starts downloading all of the 100K emails. I closed out of TB to stop the download.

I am told that in order for TB to only download actual new emails from the Yahoo server, I must let this process run. However, my official TB inbox uses about 30 filters to place incoming emails into the correct folders as they are downloaded.

All I want is to download the emails currently on the Yahoo server into a new created "dummy" inbox folder so that after the massive download, I can delete the folder and get back to being able to use TB appropriately. Can someone provide a 'how to" for doing this? TIA

I used the same password I have been using for a long time with my Verizon account and now I get this message: Sending of password for user k.machv@verizon.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later. I can open and download my email messages via AOL but it will not recognize my password to allow me to download my messages to Thunderbird.

When I migrated Thunderbird from a Windows environment to my new Apple Mac it did not migrate my local folders. Can someone explain the process?

I have the mozmsgs and sbd folders on my new Mac and have manually put them in the "local folders" directory but they are not recognised.

Regards Joe

Please advise what settings will work with Thunderbird for all NETWORK SOLUTIONS imap and POP accounts Also please advise the proper settings for all AOL accounts IMAP and POP

Hopefully this will reach Thunderbird support though I know Mozilla no longer supports this but the Thunderbird team does.

I would like to install Thunderbird on a MacBook Pro 2024 which I assume is running Os 14.5. It is not clear to me what version, if any, can be installed. I have used Thunderbird on Windows for many years but now wish to install it on this Mac.

Thanks,

 John

I was stupid and loaded down what I thought was an updated version, 115, of Thunderbird. Many of the folders with saved emails has dissapered. How can I get them back? Why is the number of saved emails shown on some of the folders. How to make the shown number to dissapear? How can I take away old emails in the infolder. In the previus version was that possible. I had to make all accounts once again. Shall it be that in an update? How can I get back the previous versin? I am not pleased with this new 115-version.

TSO Host migrated all my email accounts to a different server. All my emails have stopped downloading to Thunderbird. I cannot find a way to configure my TSO Host email accounts since they upgraded their servers to Cpanel deluxe yesterday and neither can anyone at TSO Host.

Trying to update to the 115.12.1 I am getting the message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you wan t to reboot now?

If I select no nothing happens if I select yes then the computer reboots but no changes are made

I am not able to access my emails or upgrade Thunderbird

Please advise

I want that all my mail from all mine email boxes be restored to the original mail boxes. Now all the mail is removed there and that must not be done

How do I copy it back!!!!!

My Thunderbird profile in Linux Ubuntu 24.04 is in /home/dick/Thunderbird_mail/me. I want to copy it to a new directory. I copied it using the following commands: dick@dick1:~$ mkdir t2 dick@dick1:~$ cp -rf Thunderbird_mail t2

I then ran "thunderbird -P" and created a new profile pointing to /home/dick/t2/me When I opened this profile I got the message "You have launched an a\older version of Thunderbird.", even though I was running the same version of Thunderbird. If I open the profile in Thunderbird_mail/me, it works correctly. If I open the profile in t2/me with the same executable of Thunderbird, I get this message.

How can I copy my profile to a new directory?

dick@dick1:~$ thunderbird --version Thunderbird 115.11.1
