I wish to change my email address on thunderbird account, i have been getting a lot of scam emails from unknown sources and will be cancelling [edited] @tpg.com.au email and changing to [edited] @gmx.com and wish to change email address and keep contacts.

Hi! Using about:config and adding a couple of lines of codes to userchrome css and usercontent css I managed to remove the calendarbutton, the tasks button aswell as the chat button from the spaces toolbar on the left. I really want to to the same with the hide toolbar for tabs menu button furthest down on the page, how do I do that? Another thing I really also would like to do is stop the contacts button from opening a new page, instead I think it should just switch from the email page to the contact one, not open a new. Is there any way of doing this?

Really gratefull if I can get some help with this! Thanks!

I supply software that uses TB to send emails with an attachment (via MAPI - an invoice) I have a number of customers for whom this has stopped working. I tested all of these with the usual fixes. The app has full access to the folder containing the file. The app is set as administrator and is inside the firewall. I have set default mail app to TB. TB is set to check as default on startup. Yet windows keeps saying we need to define a default email client. One customer solved the problem by buying a new PC. I have another customer who has this problem on a new PC. There may be a common denominator in Microsoft Office which on loaded onto the PC's. If that is the problem then that is Microsoft denying access to TB? Has anyone had this problem and can suggest a fix I would be grateful.

Hello!

I am a new user of Thunderbird and novice at computer programming etc.

My question regards an Add-On called " Tag Sync " and how to set it up and configure it to work.

Does anyone know this Add-On, uses it and possibly have a more detailed step by step setup guide, or can refer me to a relevent website or youtube video maybe?

I am having trouble with the CouchDB configuration and further steps described in the add-on documentation/guide.

Thank you very much for your time!

Kind regards,

PI

All my Thunderbird incoming emails from June 2019 -last week disappeared. My sent email is still there. I read that it is a not uncommon problem but I cannot understand all the Help Articles. I am 70 years old and can use a computer but do not understand how it works. Our IT consultant retired suddenly and I am urgently looking for a new one. I am in San Francisco.

I called Support at Sonic, They checked and updated my settings but they were not able to restore the incoming email.

Thanks for your attention.

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

I am baffled. Why isn't Thunderbird an option in the Windows 11 context menu, "send to"? Said another way, when I click "share" Thunderbird is not an option. Can it be fixed? If so, how? I am surprised there I found nothing in my Google searches. Your help will be greatly appreciated. John

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?

I am in the process of moving hosting and email from an Outlook-based host to a new domain host. The existing email accounts will be re-created on the new host. I cannot back or export the emails from the current domain host so have added them to my existing Thunderbird install, plan on exporting or backing them up from there then exporting / importing them to the new host.

From Thunderbird, I ran File -> Offline -> Download/Sync and selected just the email accounts (and folders) I need to transfer then ran the tool. Now I am not sure where those emails are saved. From the default profile folder I See multiple sub-folders blocklists, crashes, extensions, imapmail etc - 31 in all. Which files should I be looking for to export ONLY the 2 email accounts of interest and not ALL the email accounts I have in Thunderbird?

Cheers Mike

Hello. Thuderbird has been acting strangely for a few days, lots of Not Responding messages and then it sorts itself out. But now, when I open an ordinary e-mail, it opens up in a Send window! With the message which you will find in the attached Image. My version = 128.1.1 esr (64 bit) Lenovo Laptop Windows 10 Grateful for any help folks.

Hello, I would like to backup my whole Thunderbird profile every day (or at least every week) automatic, and I didn't find any workful solution for it. The problem is, that I have only POP3 protocol and Inbox file brakes, if there is any new message while copying. Unfortunately, I can't move my mail to IMAP, it's not a variant. Automatic closing Thunderbird (like in crontab killing process) before backup is not a variant either, because it's not safe. Manual closing Thunderbird would solve my problem, but, as I said, I need to do it automatic). For example, If I am absent for a few weeks, backup should continue working fine. If anyone have already found working solution for it?

P.S. ImportExportTools NG "Automatic backup" is not automatic, you need to close Thunderbird manually every day for this to work.

True statement?

Deleting a Thunderbird profile (including "remove message data") on one computer does NOT affect a profile with the same account name on another. Both are IMAP and are not synced to each other.

I need to completely uninstall Tbird and its emails from an old computer without impacting the same profile on a newer computer.

After adding inserted the password of a new account to Thunderbird's main one for adding the new account to the app, the procedure stops showing a question with no chance to continue. The question is "Consent app to access data?" and it is followed by a long list of details with no options for going on. How can I overcome the problem?
