Thunderbird Community Forum

I suffered a computer crash and in the process of recovery made some mistakes.

I would like to recover old messages and the calendar. Unfortunately, there are multiple profiles and (I didn't create them) I'm not sure which one to use.

I am uploading various images of the profile folders. If additional info is needed, I am willing to upload.

Ultimately, I want to combine the older messages with more recent msgs.

Thanx in advance,

Mike-a

Hi, I used to run TB sync together with the CalDAV provider addon. I host a nextcloud instance in wich Ihave created some of my own calendars and some calendars wich are hosted in ical format on several servers. Before the update to native CalDAV and on my other devices, I am able to sync with all my calendars. On the new version of TB however, I only see the calendars actually created on the nextcloud instance. Is there a setting I am missing or is this feature just not implemented. Bets Regards

I am makinmg some changes to the accounts on Thunderbird.

When I add an account all goes well until I close Thunderbird. When re-opening the account is not there.

When I delete an account all goes well until I close Thunderbird. When re-opening the account is still there.

Other than that all is working well.

Hello,

I recently changed my password to one of my accounts (@suddenlinkmail.com) and could not get Thunderbird to accept it although it worked just fine logging in to the account elsewhere. I removed all passwords from Thunderbird to see if it was conflicting with the new password and it still did not work. So, I removed the account entirely to start from scratch and when I went to add the account back into Thunderbird it had a problem. It gives me an error message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I have made sure the email address and password are correct so I am not sure what other configuration to use. I tried both IMAP and POP and neither would allow me to set up the account. Any suggestions?

Go through process to add a Comcast/Xfinity email account. Everything looks right; choosing continue takes me to Xfinity logon page. With proper username ( and third party app allowed in Comcast settings). it then shows the "Let's Go" button. Clicking that results in an ACCESS DENIED/permission issue to the server. Using another browser (including FF) lets me log in fine. Spent 2 hours with Xfinity support who claimed to have made some account adjustments that ultimately did nothing. Would like to be able to add Xfinity account to Thunderbird ( I do have latest version). Thoughts and advice appreciated.

I'm down to the last few days before Outlook will not be usable on Thunderbird unless I jump through some hoops.

I've seen posts about deleting the Outlook account, then reinstalling it in Thunderbird and Thunderbird will create the necessary security steps to make it usable again. This seems to be the method that works rather than just going into the settings and changing the necessary security settings.

MY QUESTION IS: I have lots of emails (sent and received from past months and years) that I keep in folders within Thunderbird.

How can I keep those folders/emails in the format I have if it's necessary to delete the account on Thunderbird then reestablish it? My understanding is that deleting it in Thunderbird will also delete all local folders and email saved within that account.

Thanks B
