How does one transfer addressbook entries from an old computer to a new one?

David from TB support wondered how I could get correspondence between help seekers and TB supporters when I followed the instructions I was given. I followed the instructions from November 9 and provided them in my email today. I suppose the problem is that I did/do not know how to place the entries from the old address book into a file that can be transferred from one computer to another. I assumed the file was abook.sqlite, automatically including all of my entries from the address book in the old computer. Apparently, this is not the case.

I need to know how to download into a file my entries from the address book in the old computer. Once that is done, I should be able to transfer that file to my new computer. I also need to know how to install the old entries into the new address book.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Two strange things happened with my Thunderbird emails today, all POP3. In the folder with emails from my sister (top folder with a few hundred emails, subfolders going back to 2004 with thousands of emails), all the emails after Nov. 7 had disappeared. That could be a only a couple of dozen emails. They also disappeared from my iPhone. (Now play the Twilight Zone music).

Then there is a folder called Randy (me) with various subfolders going back as long. Many fewer emails were there. It was mostly for receiving bcc's of emails sent from my iPhone, and most of those had been moved immediately to my Sent folders. They are still there. But there still should have been hundreds of emails. Every single one, plus all the subfolders, have disappeared.

A fix I've seen here might be to rebuild the entire message database. That would only work if the messages were still there but simply not synced any more. Last time I did it I had all the messages, but the search function had become erratic. It took overnight. Given that I still have most of my emails and the search function seems to be working, I'm afraid that I could do more harm than good by rebuilding the database.

I have my entire TB profile backed up. I could use that, but then I'd lose everything in/out since 10 days ago, when I left on an extended trip to France. That would include lots of daily reporting to friends and family about the trip.

There doesn't seem to be any way to restore just one folder, which would be ideal.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Boa tarde desde que instalei o app Thunderbird no meu celular ele não aparece notificação quando chega email.. Todos os outros app chegam normal, já até conferi e está permitido o app a enviar notificação mas não envia.

Suddenly, bizarrely, some of my sub folders have disappeared. They are not "greyed out". They have totally disappeared. I now missing important content, that I need. I have been unable to find a solution by browsing on this forum. Can anyone help? And if they are gone for good, can anyone suggest how I can prevent this from happening again?

I keep getting a warning...Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I have no idea why it started or what that means. Help please?! Now I cannot even write an email. It's like it signed me out?

I'm finding threads that include the correct emails for the subject, but also additional emails that do NOT relate to the original subject. How do I pull the other "subjects" from being in the wrong thread and create their own thread. See the highlighted emails in the attached image. Each color represents a separate thread that should stand on its own.

Thanks.

Why would we suddenly stop receiving emails on ALL our thunderbird emails at 300 pm 11/20/24? Some get message local network down. Can send test and that goes through but outside vendors not receiving. How do we troubleshoot? need help because do not know where to look

Hello, what is the error in the mail, the mail does not connect, what to do, it throws the following note: The time for connecting to the server imap.ivairiosdurys.lt has expired.

good day First I was informed to empty my mailbox, I have already deleted about 400 emails from a folder. Hold down Ctrl, e.g. select 27 emails, right click, trash can symbol - 27 emails deleted. If I continue to do this, only the bottom of the selected emails will be deleted. Deleting another 600 emails in this way would take the whole day. What is the reason for this, how can I fix the problem?

Hello. A few months ago, folk on here kindly helped me fix my connection to Outlook accounts. But, suddenly, things have gone wrong... though I have done nothing with any settings. I get the message: "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site." If I click on "Get Certificate", nothing happens. If I remove ".587" from the field, I get "Peer's Certificate is not recognised". But I can't get or send any emails. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Thanks!

Bonjour Depuis la dernière mise à jour je n'arrive plus à envoyer un message et nous sommes plusieurs dans ce cas J'ai essayer de vérifier ma configuration smtp mais sans succès Voilà le message d'erreur : OFR203_200 Merci pour votre aide Ci-joint un capture de cette configuration

Whenever I delete an e-mail from my inbox, all the other messages disappear. I have to exit Thunderbird and re-enter to get them back. What is going on and how do I fix it please ?

I created a saved search on Thunderbird (POP, mac M1) to get all messages not older that 5 days. The result is aberrant: only a few messages are found and not the right ones.

I tried deleting and recreating the smart folder, with no success. I also tried to compact folders. No improvement.

Thunderbird Mobile was installed 1 hour ago. Deleting emails on Thunderbird Mobile deletes on device only, but not on server. Accounts have been imported from desktop version. Server types are IMAP Mail Server.

Hi,

My company and I use your service and I'm doing an investigation by trying to track who created a sub-folder and when. I was wondering if someone could assist me with that or if you could potentially send me a step-by-step guide on how to do so myself?

Your assistance in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Marlon.
