Have been unable to open Thunderbird for a long time. Have tried everything I can think of and that suggested by the forum. I now wish to move my address to another provider. How can I do this?

Hello I just transferred TB from my old computer to a new one, and I am no longer able to empty the trash or compress the folders from the file menu , and I cannot add any sub folder. I did rebuild the index table : no result I suspect some parameter is wrong : Any idea to find which one, please? Tks in advance

Quando si apre la posta, il sistema si blocca su alcuni account ed è necessario chiudere e riaprire il programma. Quando si apre la posta durante lo scaricamento dei messaggi, si blocca e bisogna riavviarlo. Mentre si scrive un messaggio si blocca e bisogna riavviarlo. Spesso quando si riavvia molti messaggi in arrivo vengono duplicati

I've tried Troubleshooting Mode but it only recommends "Clear Startup Cache" and when I click it to reboot the program Thunderbird stills fails to load the Inbox file and Troubleshooting Mode again recommends the same "Clear Startup Cache" as a remedy. Not sure what to do to get Inbox file loaded in program. BTW the program does download new emails to the Inbox file but program is unable to load the file. During Thunderbird program restart the message at the bottom left of Thunderbird window is "Summarizing files for Inbox" which after 20 minutes program crashes ans asks for a reboot. Any corrective action recommendations is appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

A few weeks ago after an automatic update I ended up having Thunderbird version 131.0.1 installed, I have no idea how this happened. On opening I get a message telling me I shouldn't be using a beta version and that I should revert to the latest general release version (128.4)

Today when I had some free time I downloaded 128.4 and installed it. On opening it it says that I can't use a profile file from a later version with the earlier version. Is there a way to recover from this WITHOUT having to set up the whole profile again from scratch.

Meanwhile I have done a system restore so I am back with 131.0.1 It has not given me any problems so far. Is there a new general release version imminent that will get me back on track?

I would appreciate any help I am not a computer expert, just a user, and find Thunderbird a very good email client.

Quick Filter is still extremely slow on the newest version of Thunderbird (128.1.1esr). I asked a question about this previously. It was reported as a bug (see links below) and it says in the report it was fixed, but the problem still seems to be there in the newest version. Any idea when this will be fixed, or if there is anything I can do about it?

There is a thread about it on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1e6hryp/quick_filter_is_super_slow_in_128/

There was a bug reported, and it is listed as closed (solved). Here is the bug report thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1908761

Thanks for you help.

j'ai changé d'ordinateur et souhaite réinstaller Thunderbird. Mon adresse mail est reconnue mais on me demande le mot de passe associé que j'ai oublié et je n'ai pas la possibilité de cliquer sur mot de passe oublié car option inexistante. Comment puis-je faire?

I use Signature Switch as I have several signatures that I need for work. I want to add an animated gif and do so using the html area. The gif never shows, just a blank box the size of the gif. I wrote to the developer of Signature Switch, but no reply.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank You for your assistance in this matter.

Back in September, 2024, Microsoft Outlook no longer accepted my long-used login information via Thunderbird. I could still log in to https://outlook.live.com/owa/?realm=hotmail.com from the Firefox browser. I tried adjusting Account Settings (e.g. Server Name, Server Type [POP], Security/Authentication, etc. to no avail. I downloaded the current version of Thunderbird (128?) and tried installing per directions found here. Tried using the Flatpak path. The direct Command Line path yielded the same result.

dave@Sequimer:~$ sudo flatpak install flathub org.mozilla.Thunderbird [sudo] password for dave: Skipping: org.mozilla.Thunderbird/x86_64/stable is already installed

On edit: Did what I hoping to avoid and deleted Thunderbird and all of the Thunderbird related files in the Linux home directory. Then installed a current version of Thunderbird and imported email stuff from an earlier backup. It works but now I have two renditions of Thunderbird running simultaneously.
