Why are my personal folders NOT shown when select Move To then under Folders it only shows Trash ? A picture is worth a thousand words, so please see the image below:

My house was hit by a lightning strike and it blew out my computer. It looks like both the drives in that computer are readable. So I am wondering how I can get all my email back into thunderbird. It was a pop account. All email was saved to computer. I'm using windows 10. I tried to just copy the old file at Users/Mike/AppData/Roaming but that didn't work. It didn't bring back all of the folders. Please let me know if there's anyway to rebuild all the folders and emails. Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

Thunderbird 115.10.1 If I receive an email in which the sender has added comments in red text, the text only shows as black despite View-Message body As-Original HTML being selected. I've tried selecting Plain Text and switching back, but no change. Is this a bug, or is there anything else I need to select? Thanks. Kevin

I have a new windows 10 machine and have a new install of Thunderbird. Hosting email server has 2966 emails that I would like to recover. Started process of downloading them and got to 1895 when it failed with the error message "Unable to write email to mailbox" Check the settings. Tried removing the account and recreating it. Removed the 1895 emails that I have downloaded and got the same result. It seems to be broken some where between Thunderbird and the hosting mailserver as I can login via webmail and see and read the balance of 1071 emails. Techs at the hosting server company have no idea what could be causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Richard

About 6 weeks ago, I was forced to change my Thunderbird (v115.14.0) setting for my POP Outlook (formerly Hotmail) account to use OAuth2. Per the instructions, I backed up my profile, deleted the account and reinstalled it with the previous profile files, using the server name Outlook.office365.com as directed. I also have backups of the profile under appdata going back several years.

I now find that the only emails from that account are those received within the last 6 weeks. Under appdata\Thunderbird\Profiles..., I see three directories: Outlook.office365.com, Outlook.office365-1.com, and Outlook.office365-2.com, all of different sizes. Also, under localhost, I see an even larger Inbox, Sent, etc. that appear to contain at least one of the missing emails, so I suspect that that is the location of the missing mail.

This is complicated by the fact that I have an email account through another company that also uses the server Outlook.office365.com.

I've tried changing the local directory under the server settings for the Hotmail account to each of the different Outlook.office365.com directories, but I still cannot see the old emails.

Can you help me to retrieve the old emails and place them in the same account? Or failing that, at least make them available in some other way?

Thanks.

Hi, I'd like to create a filter that uses a list of names or addresses to send emails to folders. So instead of "if sender contains" Political candidate #1 OR Political candidate #2 and on and on I'd like to be able to use a list of some format that contains the same information.

Is that possible?

I would like to export all of the email addresses in a collection of email folders. Some text format would be nice, csv or, even better, tab delimited to pull into a database to summarize.

I'm running on an M1 Mac, Thunderbird version 128.1.0esr.

Is there some utility that can help? Or some way to Applescript it?

Thank you,

Gary

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

Is Mozilla working on the below email I have received from Microsoft? "The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods.

Hello,

After an upgrade to my most recent Mac I appear to have lost Thunderbird and all of my early backed up files (since deleted) from Gmail.

Today, I reinstalled Thunderbird and linked it to Gmail. I then used Google Takeout to create an mbox folder and it worked fine.

I now want to add this folder to Thunderbird as a separate backup which covers a particular period, say 2012 to today. After that I want to delete all of my mail - or at least everything up to 2019 so that I will have more space on my Gmail account.

I tried the import function but it does not appear to show any way I can download a mail folder.

I have read that I can simply shut down Thunderbird and copy the mbox file into the local folders in Thunderbird.

So my first question is "can I simply transfer the mbox folder into Thunderbird local folders?"

If so, may second question is "how can I find Thunderbird local folders on my MacBook Pro?" I have no idea where to find the Thunderbird folders.

I have a recent MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.4.1

I would be grateful for some help

Since Thunderbird was last updated on the 5th August, the page to compose a new email, no longer has a "send" or "attach" tab. I cannot now send any emails through Thunderbird. I have requested technical support twice, however, the only response has been an automated message saying someone will get back to me. That has not happened. I am only able to send any emails via our internet provider's website, which is Slingshot.co.nz.

Today, July 31,2024... Told by Spectrum that third party Thunderbird is no not supported on their servers

* My email 'In box' is frozen and the Login box persistently fails for xxxxxxx@roadrunner.com on mail.twc.com 

• My take away is that the only way I can retain my address is to attach it to a web mail account such as https://webmail.spectrum.net/mail or google mail.

Is there any way to keep Thunderbird separate and retain my current email address?

TBird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) and Windows 11

Using Tbird with an imap server and gmail email, calendar and contacts.

Not having any problems with email or the calendar but contacts do not seem to be synching. I have only just noticed this and it appears to be since the Nebula 128 update

I tried Add CardDAV Address book but I get the following the "All address books for the specified account have already been added" message. (Screen capture attached.)

I have seen some responses that imply it should all be automatic. What am I missing?

Thanks all

Alan

Why do duplicate sub-folders appear in Thunderbird? In my personal folder I now have Sent and Sent Messages, bothe 'special' folders which can't be deleted. I have a similar situation in an folder for another email address (Sent + Sent Messages) AND in my Gmail folder, where not only are there 'Sent' & 'Sent Mail' folder but also two 'Drafts' folders as well as a 'Junk' folder and a 'Spam' folder. Each duplicate sub-folder contains slightly different messages and none can be deleted. See the attached image with the duplicates indicated.

What's going on and how can I resolve it to rationalize/simplify the structure?

Every time I restart Thunderbird it looses my tab settings, I use many open tabs one for each email accounts inbox and then a few more, after a restart, I am force to close all except the first and the calendar and chats which are fine, and then manually open them all again, this needs fixing

when sending a message in Thunderbird, my sent folder always shows two messages sent, why is this and how can it be fixed? I have been through settings and cannot find any obvious setting that could be set to do or change this duplication in sending mail. Can you please advise? Bernibabe.
