I am checking i can back up and restore correctly. ( before a disaster and it is too let to test )

I have copied the TB file from appdata etc to a seperate drive to save. When i completely remove TB from my pc and then download a fresh version , i copy the backed up TB file over to the appdata TB file. This seems to restore my old incoming emails , but it doesn't restore my old sent emails. Any advice on what i am doing wrong guys ? TIA PS im using pop3.

When trying to save an attachment, the search function to find a folder doesn't find anything. Enter part of folder name into the box and press return and nothing happens. Thunderbird version 128.5.0esr. This is an urgent requirement as I have to save attachments for accounting purposes.

I have encountered the following issue about a year now .I have been using Thundebird some years now and I have created my contact list . Even though I have added in the address book all the contacts I needed and named them as I wanted. When I receive a mail the correspodent appears differently from what I have named the contact.Propably as the person sent me the email have named himself.The same applies in sent mails as well.No matter what I did ,it seems like the database from the address book is not linked to the mail database whatever I do. Please advise

Despite working fine previously, the email sever has suddenly refused to log me in - giving this message.... "Log in to server imap.virginmedia.com with user name mike.brown297@ntlworld.com failed." I have not changed anything that I am aware of so what's wrong? It asks for a new password, but I haven't changed it? Please help!! Mike

I use Thunderbird. Whenever I create a new folder in the email account I have set up in Quaker Meetings Network (QMN), url https://quaker.app, it is appears as a sub-folder of Inbox, but I want it to be a folder at the top level of the email account. I can do this with the other email accounts I administer with Thunderbird, in gmail.com and phonecoop.coop. Why can't I do this with a QMN email account? QMN say this is an issue with Thunderbird -- they are able to create "top level" folders on other email software such as Outlook

Depuis quelques jours, lorsque je demande de relever les messages (car je n'ai pas paramétré thunderbird pour qu'il le fasse automatiquement à l'ouverture) s'affiche en bas de page un message du genre "téléchargement de 6 messages" par exemple puis "chargement du message x sur 6" par exemple (avec x = 1 puis 2 ...). Or, la plupart du temps, il y a bien moins de messages qui sont à télécharger. Il me semble cependant que le nombre de messages qui sont téléchargés est correct (je dis cela en ayant examiné ma boite aux lettres chez le fournisseur d'accès à Internet). Cette situation m'inquiète à chaque fois : ce qui est annoncé n'est pas ce qui se réalise ! Y aurait-il un réglage à effectuer dans les paramètres ? Merci pour l'attention portée à ma demande

Bonjour J'essaie de configurer ma boîte mail thunderbird free.Il me marque connexion impossible , configuration , identifiant ou mot de passe incorrect .Je suis bloqué .Quelqu'un peut-il me renseigner pour débloquer la situation. Par avance merci

I've been using Thunderbird to handle my email accounts for a long time (years). My Gmail connection was misbehaving, so I deleted the account on Thunderbird, verified that everything was still there by using the google.com/gmail interface (which works fine), then tried to recreate (reconnect) the Gmail account in Thunderbird. Followed the routine "Set Up Another Account", "Email", entered a name, gmail address, and password, then "Continue". Thunderbird looks up a configuration, finds Gmail, and it all looks normal. Checking in "Configure manually", OAuth2 is there. Click "Done", and it begins "Checking password", and never comes back.........

I know the Gmail account and password are valid, because I can get mail directly from Google.....

I'm at a loss...any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird 091 and 102 version to send out digital signed Emails with the help of a pki usb token. Lately, I have downloaded the newer version 128 and to perform the same task by using the same token with the same certificates in, however it failed to do so by showing up an error message when I tried to send out the digital signed Emails. The error message indicates that the signing certificate can't be found or expired, but nothing has been changed except for the newer version of the thunderbird.

Please let me know how can I fix the issue.

Thank you!

I am receiving multiple emails (50 a day) from different advertising site using the same email address. when I enter unsubscribe and the reply is "email not registered"

VacHold Pro <security-noreply@linkedin.com> ProTabletX <security-noreply@linkedin.com> Manpower Male Enhancement <security-noreply@linkedin.com>

I have tried blocking the email as well, but that didn't help Please advise asap. Thank you

unable to shift from 'show unread' to inbox. I quit TB to see if it was a temporary prob, but no change. Sidebar shows 168 in inbox. But at bottom of sidebar under unread folders shows 8. If not showing unread, but all messages, the larger number is prob accurate. Clicking on inbox does nothing.

I've just returned to TB after a few month break on Apple mail. I've always preffered TB, but things seemed to disappear, so I switched. But eventually Apple mail had at least as many probs, and I prefer TB. Hope you can help. thx.

I am trying to install a Google account into Thunderbird. I'm in advanced configuration and hit the retry button. The error message is that Thunderbird did not find the account. Please help.

Dear Sir,

Since transferring from Heart Internet to Thunderbird, which was forced upon me, I have had numerous issues. Right now, I cannot enter my password as the password that I have is not accepted. In addition, I am unable to access my emails on my Apple cellphone.

I cannot reset my password as I need to be allowed access first and I cannot gain access without my password being accepted.

Yours faithfully,
