I am trying to transfer the address book form an old to new macbook. I installed new tbird. Old mac has 115.18, new 128.6.0. I copied the .mab.bak, and also renamed as .mab to the /profiles/xxx.default folder and also tried to the /profiles folder. Also tried copying sqlite. The new tbird created a xxx.default.sqr folder at some point. I get onef of the old addresses only. I have wasted 3 hours. I am willing to un-install and start over. I am somewhat familiar with unix and using a Terminal

As of this morning, I can only view emails which were received or sent today. Anything sent or received before today is not displayed. I am still able to access emails received prior to today by using the Search function. This only applies on my desktop. On my laptop, emails are displayed normally.

Hi All,

I tried searching for an answer to this with terms like "offline storage" or "moving archived folders" and I found some topics that were close, but did not really answer the question or did not have the detail I needed.

For one of my TB email accounts I have a lot of subfolders for each year, going back for many years. For example, I have a "archive 2017" folder, and so on. Is there a way I can remove these archived folders to my local hard drive so they are not taking space on my server, but that I can still access them easily if needed?

I don't know if it matters, but I use IMAP settings/server.

If there is a solution, please provide as many steps and details as possible.

Thanks everyone,

  Bill

I just installed Thunderbird, linked it to my primary email account (ok!) and then tried to import one year's worth of email messages exported from my Apple Mail client as .mbox folders with an underlying folder structure (1 per month). Thunderbird went away for about 2 hours "downloading" and importing ( ... looking good!), but at the end my "Local Folder: Apple Mail Import" still shows no messages. Where are they and how can I access them in the Thunderbolt client?

I have Version 128.5.2esr (64-bit), it says it is up to date.

So I've been noticing a couple of days now that I can no longer view messages in the message pane to the right of the screen. When I click on an email in the list on the left, the top of the pane on the right shows me the To, From, subject etc, as well as a yellow bar saying "Warning: To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message." Then, nothing underneath this. Where it used to show the email contents. I do NOT want to have to double click every single email in my inbox to look at them in a separate tab. Most of what I get is not useful. I want to be able to click once and preview the email, then click Down to check the next one, and on and on the same as Thunderbird did it LAST WEEK.

Can someone help me get it back to working please? Thanks!

Thunderbird freezes on loading. It seems to be working (window notifications show incoming mails). The top bar has one item which says "loading" but never does! I am running WIN 11 pro with AVG. I have tried the following: - open TH in program safe mode - Open TH with laptop in safe mode - uninstall and reinstall - Open with antivirus turned off - Deleted all .msf files in current profile (judging by time and date) which seems to have been called xxxxxxxxx.repair . On restart TH did not reinstate the .msf files and the blank frozen screen was still there. - there were about 4 other profiles in the directory although in reality there should only be one. These profiles have various names: defaultnew, default (2 off), default-release and repair. - All profiles except the one with ".repair" were copied to another location before restarting. Any help would be appreciated.

recently i am having problems with sending emails from my desktop, via thunderbird. it keeps asking me to sign in with my new password. however i have not changed my password with virgin. i can send an email from my phone, so i know its not virgin. i have spent 3hours reading up and checked the server and outgoing settings, and changed switched adjusted what i could see, and set them back to the original settings, which in effect meant i have done nothing, and all of a sudden it works again. this did happen a couple of week ago, so not sure what's going on, and i really haven't got a clue what im doing, so any help or advice would be appreciated.

When I want to delete an open email I have always used the delete function in the upper right hand corner of the open email. Since the program did it's major update there are times when I click on delete nothing happens and I have to keep clicking on it several times for it to finally delete the email. Also, when I open Thunderbird and then try to download my messages, many times the screen goes gray and I get a message at the top of the page that says Thunderbird is not responding. I have disabled all add ons and have tried to resolve this in troubleshooting mode but still no resolution. Thunderbird just isn't the same since the major update.

Hello,

am I correct that there is today no way to save the attachments of several (many!) emails of a folder in Thunderbird?

I have the same email address since the 90s and many thousands of emails, many with good memories (photos). I came from Eudora who had a great idea: an attachment folder :). From the technical side Thunderbird is probably doing this ok, but from the user perspective, it is not nice that all attachment are quite lost in the mailbox files.

I know that there are addons and other software that say that can do this task, but the most popular addon is kind of not developed at the moment I guess, and I also got errors.

What would be your recommendation for my task ?
