Thunderbird Support Forum

Can sks please explain purpose of local folders? I have 2 accounts with their own sets of folders, why do I need Local Folders as well? Desktop win 10 64 bit system.

I cannot get K9 to accept that I do not have a password verification for my e mail account.When K9 automatically configures my account IMAP and outgoing server it asks for password which I don't have

I would like to keep using imap (because directory synchronization and such) instead of pop, yet I also want to configure thunderbird to delete (expunge) emails from the server after a certain number of days while keeping them intact offline. The reason for this is that I want to keep an offline only archive because it is more secure.

I currently only see options to delete everywhere after N days or delete locally after N days, but I want to keep local and delete from the server. It looks like the server software my email provider uses doesn't have a setting for it either, so doing this in thunderbird is my best chance of getting ut done.

Hi, I have Thunderbird installed on a desktop and laptop. If I read, delete or archive a message on my desktop, should it automatically read, delete or archive on my laptop.

I already downloaded my thunderbird to a new desktop and my profile and all my mails are visible. But, ehen Im only trying to export my addressbook/contacts which are missing still from new computer pressing the address book under tool and export lets me only download a complete zip file. And the desktop when i want to import the addressbook coz it wants it as a first choice as csv and then some similar choices. Where has gone the possibility to download only addressbook to usb stick and then import only the addresses as csv to the new one. This seems to be very complicated. Or are there any specific files in the system which contain the addresses and I could just copy them from my laptop and replace them to the same place where contacts are ususally stored to make the new computer understand and get use of them. I see many people have hard time with this issue and now it seems itsbeen made very difficult. So better to move to another email svc or do you have an easy solution for this?

When I transcribe texts written on Windows 10 to answer e-mails through Thunderbird Firefox, they become so jumbled that they are unreadable. How may I transfer texts to e-mail correct?

This is [email]@tpg.com.au During the previous two days I have requested help via this function on two fronts - first the "send" command was not working, and secondly I requested if there was a way to restore data that disappeared when T'bird.exe was re-run. On this, the day following, I am having intermittent reception for incoming emails. Normal traffic is 10 - 20 emails overnight - today nothing initially, and dribs and drabs happening randomly. I have sent test messages to this email address, from a different computer, which have not been rec'd. I am assuming that if a response to my original messsage had been sent from T'bird support, I have not rec'd it because the system is not working seamlessly. Can anyone help me to sort out the bugs here ???

Hi, Recently my laptop failed due to HDD and now I wish to transfer about 200 emails from a Galaxy TabA 8 in Thunderbird inbox to Thunderbird in new laptop for the purposes of back up.

Is there another way other than sending each one to myself one by one?

Where in tablet are they located?

And thence in order to back up emails from laptop is there a method contents from Thunderbird in total can easily be backed up?

Or should I just back up relevant folders.

Many thanks in advance, Dean

Receiving a constant rejection error on sending email to AOL and RR from Microsoft 365 saying that "bare line feeders" are being added to outgoing emails. How do I resolve this significant issue?

I have an existing list on my email and I want to add new names to that list. The system won't let me add a contact on my inventory of contacts either by name or by email address. How do I update my list. It will let me delete names
