Is it possible to have the number of unread emails in the Inbox show on the Thunderbird icon in the Windows 10 Taskbar? This would be very convenient and avoids the need to keep opening up TB to check. I recently tried eM Client, which had this feature, but, returned to TB to avoid other dislikes I found in eM. Thanks in anticipation Robs

I wrote an email then clicked on "Attach" (same happens if I click "Add attachment"), I got an error message that stated that a completely unrelated directory did not exist. There was no way to get round this, so I could not add the attachment. I eventually worked out that the directory had been used for an attachment on a previous unrelated email. That directory had since been deleted. I created another directory of the same name and the attachment process worked. When attaching, Thunderbird seems to default to the most recently used directory, if it no longer exists the attachment process fails and there is no way round it.

I recently tried moving a backed up Thunderbird profile to a new computer, and everything transferred over perfectly, except that when the app tries to connect to my Outlook account, the OAuth window that appears is completely blank, with nothing to click or input (just a grey background), and so I essentially can't use the account.

I have used the same backup on another computer successfully (the Outlook OAuth window appeared correctly), and my other Gmail account that is part of the backup and also requires OAuth works fine on this new computer. I've also tried starting Thunderbird without the backed up profile, as if I was just connecting my Outlook account from scratch, and the window appears correctly there too, but I'd really rather not have to reconfigure everything from scratch...

I'm guessing something in my backup doesn't play well with OAuth settings on this computer, any idea where I should look? Thanks for any input!

Just what the subject line says. Go looking for something and Search doesn't find it. Even after I remember the email and find it, Search does not find it.

Why is this? It is un-usable, actually as it happens all the time.

For instance, putting in a company name like "walmart.com" will find some but not all the emails with walmart.com and certainly not the most recent ones specifically with a person's name.

I just upgraded my desktop pc from Windows 10 to 11, and before the upgrade I used the Tools Export function to export my complete Thunderbird profile, so I could import it after the upgrade. Unfortunately the export file cannot be read on my upgraded pc using the Import function - Thunderbird gives me error messages every time, that suggest the exported folder might be corrupted or invalid.

My IMAP emails are fine, as I have set those accounts up from scratch and the folders have now populated with all the emails - the problem is all my filed emails, dating back many years, which were all stored manually in a filing system under Local Folders.

I tried manually copying across the individual files from the extracted back-up folder into my live Thunderbird profile and then reopened Thunderbird...which worked to some extent...as in, all the folders are there, but no emails are showing! It shows no messages under each folder, even though if you look under the Profile you can see that the email files exist.

I tried various ways to bring them in, including zipping one of the folders and trying to import from the zip file (which also brought in a folder but no emails) but even though the email files are clearly there under my profile, Thunderbird shows 0 messages in all my Local Folders. It's as though it is unaware the files exist, so I suspect it needs them to be formally imported somehow?

I would hate to lose the emails, as they document important information and purchases etc over many years, along with archived emails for my charity work, social events, etc. As I said, I can see the files are there but simply copying the files to my profile has only worked to the extent the filing 'structure' is visible, Thunderbird doesn't display any of the emails.

I have included two images...one of my Thunderbird Local Folders as they currently look, and the other showing the backed up files existing in my Profile, which I hope are helpful.

Can anyone help please? I am running a desktop PC on Windows 11. Thanks, David.

I have recently updated to TB 128.5.3esr (64-bit) This occurred by the Microsoft Store 'update' feature automatically. Before this occurred, I was able to mark email messages with Tags that I had previous set up but it now appears that even when selecting an appropriate Tag for a particular message, whilst it initially 'coulors' it in accordance with the pre-defined colour, when my cursor is removed from the email message, the Tag is lost [and colouring]! Even when attempting to sort messages by Tags, none appear at all.... I have in my TB a number of different email accounts namely, Apple ones [x3], Hotmail [Outlook now] and Gmail and yet none of them seem to support [or retain] Tags anymore as they once did. Previous TB versions enabled me to use this feature - is there a good reason why it no longer works? Lastly, whilst I don't really know what a 'sandbox' is, I installed TB from the Microsoft Store in the hope that it would remain automatically updated - was this a mistake? Lastly this may assist TB experts of which I am most definitely not one, sadly....

This happened once before, then started working again for a few months and now doing it again. When I start up Thunderbird the emails will not load. I keeps saying "not responding." After around five minutes or so a couple of emails will load and then it's back to "not responding." Then another few or more minutes of waiting and another couple of emails download and back to "not responding." This goes on for hours. Tonight I have been waiting for eight hours and I'm still waiting with no end in sight. I can't do anything else with email until it finishes. This is very frustrating. Can you help?

Hi, in order to avoid problems with the view of emails, I repaired the folder of my emails configured as imap. During this process, all emails were reloaded from my provider. so far so good. But the dates of the emails now have all the time& date of today. Changing the sort order from date to received didn't change anything. By using CTRL-U I could see the correct dates: extract:

Hi

I am getting the "Unable to Login at Server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" message for my outlook and gmail accounts. My passwords and user names / mail address are correct. Thunderbird has tested the configurations and picked them up from the servers.

I have used the outlook app on my windows 11 system and have immediate success with the same credentials. I really don't want to use Outlook but am feeling forced to do so as there is no clear help on how to get Thunderbird to work. It has worked previously on the same laptop without any fuss.

Please help!
