I have two principal address books, collected and personal. I can add new contacts to these address books. Under collected, I have three lists of group contacts. I want to add a contact to a list in the personal address book. Searched under Firefox and lots of suggestions to drag n drop. Ha ha, highlighting the contact, the moment I drag it across the box towards the list of address books, I get the no-entry symbol, circle with a bar through it. Why is this happening please? How can I copy across the address books or lists? Why is drag n drop suggested when it doesn't work? I'm using Win 10 Pro vers 22H2 64 bit on a Dell PC. Firefox 118.0.2 64 bit. Your aid will save my mind !

I'm not sure I'm in the right place but I have a problem opening my Thunderbird email. It keeps telling me that it's open and to close but nothing happens. I can't close it and it's not actually open. I've rebooted my computer but Thunderbird still insists it's open. What can I do? I can't access and folders or emails. Should I uninstall it and reinstall it? Really hope you can help me

Ok, let me begin. I just lost my boot drive (just the OS) my home directory is on the drive= /export/home/harrison so all I need to do was tell Thunderbird to use my existing email account which when in with out a problem. so I tried to install my main email account so I said existing account and entered my credentials. which are incoming server: IMAP (imap.gmail.com) #993 SSL/TLS OAuth2 and my user name outgoing server: (smtp.gmail.com) #465 SSL/TLS OAuth2 and my user name then click done..... and that when I get this stupid message. "Incoming server already exists"

I used to have an extension or add-on the allowed me to play my own sounds for an incoming email on Thunderbird. However, that seems to have disappeared and I cannot find an add-on that will allow me to to that. I have many sounds that used to work but whenever you do an update to the browser they don't work.

Is there any add-on that you have that will work with my own alerts on Thunderbird or do I need to find another browser?

Sorry for posting this here but no response in TB forum. After I installed the latest up grade TB 115 I have lost all the old emails in my inbox, sent, and trash as well as the ability to use TB as I can't sign in. I get the following prompt when trying to use my account. "Sending of password for user ****@att.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later", and then a prompt to "Enter your password" which does not work, although the pass word shows up in"passwords". The TB account works fine in the Yahoo web account, but I don't keep anything there on a daily basis. The web TB account lets me send and receive mail normally. I haven't changed my configuration ,password or uninstalled TB. My G mail works normally. My android cell also won't let me sign in and asks for credentials per password which is unrecognized.

I could not find a link for asking a question on Thunderbird. I just updated Thunderbird. And I was looking around and changing a few things to see how they look and I have lost the "buttons" to bring it back to the original set up. I was looking to see if there was some form a reset button that would take me back t just after install. I am really not liking what I have changed and I want to go back. Plus, is there a way to move the location of the garbage can, more like the older versions. The garbage can is my best friend. Thanking you in advance, K

I have recently run into this issue in Thunderbird Supernova. Some of the menus are flyout menus, but others are note. In Firefox one set of menus which would be so much quicker to use as flyout instead of having to click and then not be able to go back, are the menus accessed from the 3 parallel lines in the upper right of the screen.

What is the reason why FFox does not use a standard flyout menu like you find in all the windows menus that is so much easier and quicker to use? And is there a reason such a menu structure cannot be implemented for the item mentioned above?

Thanx.

It looks like Thunderbird updated itself a few days ago and the 'get new messages' (or 'get new mail') button has disappeared. 'F5' works, but I'd like the button back. Can do?

Earlier today I installed the latest version of Firefox on my Mac system and now the time assigned to incoming emails is 1 hour too early. We are on Sydney daylight savings time. My computer is indicating the correct time but the Thunderbird emails listing is not. I've searched for solutions and checked a number of Thunderbird time and date settings but nothing has fixed the one hour time error that I'm seeing. Can anyone suggest a fix for this?

Thunderbird: Folder with 119 message, need to send all 119 messages to an e-mail from Local box called "Fraudfiles". I can not see any way to do this in Thunderbird e-mail.

Please tell me how to get my address books back after moving to a new computer. I have thunderbird, and I've gotten my inbox moved, but my address books are empty. I had hundreds of contacts. How do I get them back. I've tried the import tab but it only wants to import from a file on my computer. As I understand it, my provider keeps data such as this, I just need to know how to access it. My internet provider is Optimum/

I just changed my Thunderbird to accommodate Microsoft Exchange (and had to enable the Owl add-on to do so). Now there is NO option available to set reply text at the top of a reply message. Replies are automatically set at the bottom after the first message in the string by default (which makes no sense and shouldn't have been the default). The option which used to be available in the Composition page of the Settings page is not there. How do I set reply text to appear at the top of a message as a standard??

I'm trying to export my Thunderbird addressbook using the export function. I go to "address book"->"tools"->"export" and I get "Export Export accounts, messages, address books, and settings to a ZIP file. If your current profile is larger than 2GB, we suggest you back it up by yourself." Then it wants to export the whole thing as a Thunderbird Profile with no other choices showing. I can't seem to export the "address book" to the "csv" format which I used to be able to. Any ideas?

I keep getting this message whoever I send a message to . - please help this is urgent - what do I do Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@buysellcyprus.com>: Relay access denied. Please check the message recipient "" and try again

I'm running Thunderbird 115.2.0 on a 1918 vintage Macbook Pro under Ventura 13.5.2

There is an unused email account I want to remove but am unable to do so.

"Account Settings" reports "The following is a special account. There are no identities associated with it."

When I select the account and go to "Account Actions", the "Remove Account" button is greyed out. If I select other accounts it is NOT greyed out, only for this one unused account.

There was another account with the same email address that I was able to remove, but this "duplicate" account seems to be rather permanent.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

I got back on to Thunderbird today after being away for a couple of weeks. Downloaded and updated Thunderbird, as I usually do when an update is available. I am now on 115.2.2 (32-bit) Windows 10 My previously received emails are still there, last one 8/27/23 When I click on "get emails" nothing happens. No error message, no indication that anything is happening. I checked the email isp settings and they are correct I can receive emails on my phone using a different app. The phone app (TypeApp) indicates it is a pop3 account. I changed the Thurderbird account settings to Pop3.optonline.net frp, pop.optonline.net. Now my account and the emails have disappeared!! Please help BTW, before I changed the pop to pop3, I sent a test email using Thunderbird and it went through properly. thanks

Updating to T-bird 72.14.0 (on W7-64) made Dad's T-Bird password unusable. Cannot update password without email. Cannot verify Mozilla account without email. Cannot set up a second email account without email. Do not have mobile 'phone coverage. Posting this via my account, trying to fix Dad's box.

WHY does Mozilla not have a work-around for a lost email???

Thanks, Bob L.
