I have T-bird version 128.7.0esr (64-bit) on both my desktop Dell and my laptop Dell. On the Desktop I have a message filter for removing common sources of spam/junkmail to the Trash. I tried to make that filter available by copying the msgFilterRules.dat file in the Imapmail folder of my desktop's T-bird profile under AppData/Thunderbird (I have a Windows 11 Enterprise OS...the laptop is Windows 10 Enterprise OS) to the Imapmail folder on my laptop's T-bird profile. After this copying process was done (with T-bird not running on the laptop) I loaded T-bird on the laptop, but the filter on the desktop did not appear under filters on the laptop. Note: while the email account for both T-bird installations is the same, the *profile name* is different. Perhaps that is the source of my problem. I *could* backup the T-bird installation on my desktop and then use that backup to install T-bird again on my laptop. But I wonder if there is a simpler solution that preserves the bulk of what is on each of these two T-bird installations?

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for a few days now. I'm slowly learning the ropes. Between my wife and I we use 2 computers and two phones. I have set up the computers to use POP3. My logic being that I want a copy of all email activities on at least one of my computers at home. (I noticed that only my inbox is has been imported to my Thunderbird files on my computers, no other folders have been imported.) However, I've just discovered that when I create and send an email from Thunderbird on my home computer, a copy is not saved on my service provider's sent folder (@bell.net). I'm assuming that is because I'm using POP3. If I understand correctly, if I use IMAP all my folders will be synched (including my sent etc) between my service provider and my computers. Is that correct? If so, then I guess I should be using IMAP instead of POP3. If that's true then is my only option to occasionally archive my Thunderbird files before cleaning up my service provider folders? Thanks for your insights.

Dear filter specialists,

On a Windows 10 computer with TB Portable 128.6 and .7, folders can no longer be selected in the filters as ‘Run filter on’ or ‘perform these Actions’: the menu is greyed out. The phenomenon occurs with all accounts: POP and local. Various email providers, ESET virus scanner, Windows firewall, FritzBox cable router. The local account contains almost 30 GB of emails. The existing filters work as long as they do not affect the accounts or folders: for example, tagging e-mails works. Existing filters with folder-actions cannot be re-configured and no folder actions are possible when creating a new filter.

I have performed an update check and restarted Windows, changed the compression limit from 500 to 5 MB and changed a few minor settings so that the config is rewritten.

What could this be? How do I solve the problem? A workaround if necessary.

Thank you very much for your help.

While using Dext there is a visual of the uploaded pdf file. Now there is a notice that my Firefox settings need to be changed. Dext does not have instructions for Firefox and I have not yet located the spot in settings to adapt for this. Looking for directions.

I can't install extensions anymore, when clicking on "install" button, the waiting icon keeps moving forever. I'm using firefox 115.20.0 esr 64 bit. Also tried in troubleshooting mode, no change. I've tried several verified extensions, and many that used to work fine precedently.

Thunderbird Problem: For many years I have been using the Thunderbird mail client currently in ver. 128.7.0esr (32 bit) on S.O. Windows 10 Home Update 22H2 (OS Build 19045.5487), 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. I have a couple of mail accounts, one of mine and one of my wife. My problem is that for a few days now (about 5 or 6 days) on the InBox folder of my account, only mine, I have not been able to compact the folder. When I try to compact it, the response message is always the following: <The Inbox folder on "my_account_name@gmail.com" cannot be compacted because it is not possible to write to it. Verify that you have enough disk space and have write privileges, then try again> On my disk the available space is 121 Gb on C: where the program with the InBox folders resides and 266 Gb where the data stored in custom folders resides. The write privileges are always the same, never changed, of Administrator. I have already tried the path of "repairing the folder" and re-indexing the folder, but without success. Can someone suggest a remedy, please? Thanks Riccardo ITALIANO Da molti anni uso il client di posta Thunderbird attualmente in ver. 128.7.0esr (32 bit) su S.O. Windows 10 Home Agg. 22H2 (Build sistema operativo 19045.5487), Sistema operativo a 64 bit, processore basato su x64. Ho un paio di account di posta, uno mio e uno di mia moglie. Il mio problema è che da qualche giorno in qua (circa 5 o 6 giorni) sulla cartella InBox del mio account, solo del mio, non riesco ad eseguire la compattazione della cartella. Al tentativo di compattarla il messaggio di risposta è sempre il seguente: <La cartella Posta in arrivo su "nome_mio_account@gmail,com" non può essere compattata in quanto non è possibile scriverci. Verificare di avere spazio su disco sufficiente e avere privilegi di scrittura, quindi riprovare> Sul mio disco lo spazio disponibile è di 121 Gb su C: dove risiede il programma con le cartelle InBox e di 266 Gb dove risiedono i dati archiviati in cartelle personalizzate. I privilegi di scrittura sono sempre quelli, mai cambiati, di Amministratore. Ho già tentato la strada della "riparazione della cartella" e della re-indicizzazione della cartella, ma senza successo. Qualcuno può suggerirmi un rimedio, per favore? Grazie Riccardo

As of February 13, 2025 the front page of the Washington Post website does not load correctly in Firefox 115.20.0esr in Mac OS 10.13.6. The problem persists even in safe mode. Thank you.

obviously you think everyone is a programmer by the was your system does not work doing updates !!

I am hoping your not expecting an 80 year old lady to fix your lack of diligence? or should i just eliminate your program?

I have two profiles in my Thunderbird account. I want to create desktop shortcut for each profile. That way I can use the shortcut to get my email. On on profile I just want it to go straight to that account without asking for a password. On the other one I want it to ask me for a password. Is that possible and if so how can I do that?

I can't find any reference to this and have stopped using one of my email accounts...and need to have outbound invites go through another one. I thought changing the "default" email address (which I've done successfully I believe) would do the trick but it doesn't. Thoughts?

I had difficulty setting up an account 5 times for Access & ebtEdge, therefore I now show all of these & I want to delete unused and only keep one successful & working account. How do I do that?

Thunderbird stopped working on my old Mac Mini (2014). I bought another used Mac Mini (2018), running on Sequoia 15.3, and hoped to install Thunderbird on it, but so far I can't. When I try to set it up, it says my account is recognized, but when I click done, I get the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I suspect it's the configuration. I tried my old Mozilla password, when that didn't work, I created a new one, but that didn't work for Thunderbird either.

My email comes from my ISP — AT&T — whose email service is powered by Yahoo. When Thunderbird stopped working on my old computer. I started using MyYahoo email (same email address), but I'd prefer going back to Thunderbird, which is much better for archiving and directing incoming email to folders I create.

Please help.
