I have been trying for 2 days to do:

1. Move the Thunderbird data base to E-drive from c as there is no space on C. I allow thunderbird to install - no option for data base location and it puts it on c-drive my default. I then copy all the files to e-drive and then it wants to re-install again. Same PC.

2. I cannot get mailstore to convert pst as the Outlook function in Thurnderbird does not or I cannot get it to work.

I am complete novice and this is all to complex. I live in remote place in Austrialian out back

Please Dan

Since the last update of Thunderbird, my mouse is showing a zoom-in icon when attemping to go to an interent link in a mail, rather than the normal "hand" icon for accessing a link. I basically cannot get to the majority of links in my incoming mail now.

In the attached screen pic, see the mouse zoon icon midway above the I and G.

What Password? I've been using Thunderbird for years. Never had a password; never had a need for one.

Suddenly, setting up a new computer, a password for Thunderbird is demanded. Where does one set up a Thunderbird password?

On the android I installed Thunderbird. when I go into the inbox, 1/3 screen shows email list.. 2/3 shows a message preview. I want to remove that preview. I only want to see my emails. I will click on an email if I want to read dit... IT would be fine if I could adjust the preview size but its set at 2/3 to 3/4 of my screen. leaving a tiny column for the emails.

Either adjust preview size, or remove it totally?

Please advise

I have a Yahoo Mail account that is configured in Thunderbird. By mistake, I deleted the Bulk folder, and it was moved to the Trash. There is no option to restore it back to the Inbox. This issue occurs on all computers where Thunderbird is installed. Please help

I created a folder with a name that has diacritics used in the Lithuanian language: Šarūnas

Thunderbird will not let me move emails from another folder into this folder. This fails both with drag and drop and with using the right-click menu.

When I created a folder without diacritics (Sarunas) the emails can be moved into the folder.

Letters with diacritics are an essential part of spelling and not having them can significantly change the meaning of the words. What do I need to do in order to use folder names with diacritics?

With both the old and now new laptop, cannot get my mail from the messaging Co, but can from their weblink. Ongoing correspondence has given me the in and outgoing servers, all to no avail. This has been going on for over a year. Ingoing port 993. Outgoing 465 Very occasionally I get some mail come in, strangely enough. All outgoing comes back as "timed out" Any clues please. John

On Windows 11 Pro (latest updates) desktop, I use Thunderbird (latest update) to send/receive email. Usually, Norton 360 (latest update) VPN must be turned off to received emails. I say "usually," because sometimes it works with VPN on. Is there a way to receive emails without needing to usually turn off VPN? What I have been trying hasn't worked. Thanks, if you can help.

I'm switching from Outlook to Thunderbird Nebula 128.6.0 and I am attempting the import of my "Contacts" from Outlook into Thunderbird "Address Book" via .csv file. My contacts from Outlook are a mess as over the years I did not always enter them by manually as a field at a time. Sometimes the address entry was pasted into Outlook or via a download and this produces a .csv with a poor data structure. There is no way I would expect to get a decent data transfer from such a jumble so in an effort to supply Thunderbird with a half decent .csv file I decided to edit the Outlook exported .csv to match a Thunderbird .csv export. I made up a new Address Book in Thunderbird with a few names and addresses and exported it to a .csv. Unfortunately when I look into the exported file some data does not appear to have been exported. For example I only have one phone number exported under 'Work Phone' although there are two or more listings in my made up contact in the address book. The same with email addresses, only the first two listings are exported under 'Primary Email' and 'Secondary Email' although I have more in the made up contact in the Thunderbird Address Book. I wonder if anyone else has undertaken this task and can share any tips for the best way to approach this, or maybe tell me where Thunderbird is putting the data that it does not export? I note that Thunderbird structures the phone numbers as 'Work Phone', 'Home Phone', 'Fax Number', 'Pager Number', but the "New Contact" screen does not have any of these input options. I'm a bit stumped at the moment so any ideas or help would be most appreciated. Regards. Greg

The extension ConfirmBeforeDelete is extremely useful. It has saved me not only from accidentally deleting messages, but also from dragging and moving folders when I didn't intend to.

I recently had to manually recover from deleting 20 messages in a search window after I had accidentally hit the delete key (while I thought my cursor was up in one of my search fields).

Really, that functionality should be a built-in feature in Thunderbird.

The latest version of ConfirmBeforeDelete is 1.9.3, released Nov. 20, 2023. Compatible with Thunderbird 115.*

What did that extension need to be compatible with Thunderbird 128+? In other words, what change(s) in Thunderbird broke it? Would the fix be something easy or will it require more significant changes?

I tried to contact the author last October (even offered to gather some donations), but have not heard back.

It looks like there was already at least one person interested in helping. Thread on github:

  How to update for Thunderbird 128? How to update for Thunderbird 128?

I use T-bird to access several IMAP accounts from gmail. I am currrently unable to delete, rename or create new subfolders. When I select those options in the context menu, nothing appears to happen. I tried uninstalling, rebooting and reinstalling T-bird, which found my accounts and my local folders, but still won't allow me to make folder changes. Any help appreciated.

Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bit) can obtain access to my Google Calendar and Contacts but not to email. This is a clean installation on a brand new Windows 11 computer. I have reinstalled Thunderbird three times, deleted saved passwords, deleted only the SMTP and IMAP saved passwords (preserving OAuth2 passwords), deleted Thunderbird's access in Gmail security settings to force it to re-request access, followed every instruction on every forum and help page I can find, but Thunderbird refuses to send and receive mail. Thunderbird finds the correct configuration and sets it up (correct ports, IMAP, SMTP, correct servers, OAuth2, etc.) I used my Gmail address and the same password as I use for webmail.

I am presently using Outlook for Gmail because it connected immediately using the same credentials as I am trying with Thunderbird. When I delete access permission in Gmail security settings, then add Gmail to Thunderbird again, it prompts for access to Contacts and Calendar but not to mail (one time it flashed a screen saying it could not because Java is not enabled in my web browser--but Java is enabled on both my default browser, Edge, and on Chrome; the page that came up appears to be some internal browser in Thunderbird).

The attached images show the configurations for IMAP server, the SMTP server, and that the saved passwords contain two OAuth2 URLs, one for contacts and the other for the calendar, but nothing for mail.

I have been using Thunderbird for years, and have a massive archive of emails in it, would really like to use it as my email client rather than Outlook. Installation and configuration has never been this difficult. Does anybody have any thoughts on what to do next?

I am currently utilizing Thunderbird and require assistance in incorporating a digital signing of the message into the signature of my email. Presently, the software attaches the signed text as a file, along with an additional file for my public key. I would like to know how to integrate these elements as text at the conclusion of my message in the signature, rather than having them appear as attachments.

Hi, When I have to reply to mail in a conversation, Thunderbird is by default in conversation mode. I can't find any options to modify this. Some mails of the conversation are only visible by clicking on the last reply and does not appear in the inbox. 1st screen, mail from 17:51 does not appear, 2 screen yes. This seems to be a bug. Thanks
