moving file email in Thunderbird

My laptop crashed and they copied my files on my new laptop and I want to load my old emails in Thunderbird. I found the recovered files of Thunderbird, but I don't know which files to move or to go to.

Hello, sorry to hear about your problem.

Could you have a look in support of move Thunderbird to a new computer data article first, in particular the section manually move the files ? That should lead you to restore files retrieved to your new laptop, and if not, we can help you further.

  • I can not download gmail email in thunderbird reinstalled

    I had to reformat my hard drive. I saved the profile according to the instructions of Thunderbird before the reformat. After the reformat, I reinstalled Thunderbird then recovered the content of the profile in the new profile folder. When I open Thunderbird, I have all of my old emails. However, when I click on get new Messages, nothing appears. I check GMail and I have new emails, but they are not downloaded. I did a test mail to send, but it does not send. The error message says "the message could not be sent using SMTP server smtp.googlemail.com for some unknown reason. Please check your SMTP server settings are correct, and then try again. "I tried to find what the server settings should be, but found no information. Help! I need help to find what is the problem and how to fix.

    Have been able to solve my problem. In my case, I made a new start by uninstalling Thunderbird and removing the data file (profiles). Then reinstalled Thunderbird. After that, I created my first email accounts and allowed him to check by gmail. Then I copied manually only the files that I need - who were the address book, the Inbox and send files and the popstate file. My Thunderbird works now! Yahoo!!

  • Norton Internet Security can't scan SSL email use. How can I ensure that I don't get a malware or a virus by opening an email in Thunderbird?

    Norton Internet Security can't scan SSL email use. How can I ensure that I don't get a malware or a virus by opening an email in Thunderbird? I read that you don't have to click on a link to get malware, but that some e-mail may trigger the malware just by opening and reading. Any suggestions to prevent the outbreak of malware emails? AOL Desktop software has its own built-in email scanner, but I am trying to get away with their software and to rely only on tuberculosis.

    Thank you

    There are many aspects to this question.

    First of all, by using SSL or TLS to send and receive emails is important because it prevents others from sniffing your login email. Especially if you use a device over wi - fi or on untrusted networks, it is essential, because if others get your email IDs, bad things can happen.

    Of course, by using SSL or TLS with your mail server also protects the content of your email being captured by others, so it's good also.

    Secondly, you are right that there may be threats to security in E-mail other than the attachments, even if attachments are usually the most dangerous. Your antivirus must protect you against bad attachments as to open them, they must be written to disk in a temporary folder, and your AV software jumps into action whenever a new file is added to the disk. You can also hedge your bets by using a two step approach: first save the attachment to disk and only after she survives the real-time AV scanning and then run it in the appropriate application.

    Sometimes the content in the body of the message can trigger a vulnerability in your software e-mail or a plugin. As these known vulnerabilities, Mozilla is updating its software, but there always seems to be new problems discovered and it will never be perfect security. I don't know how useful email Scanner is for this problem.

  • I can't send emails in Thunderbird and I tried all suggested fixes that I can find!

    I moved my old MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Pro Thunderbird (I've done it before without any problem).
    I've updated Thunderbird on two laptops before I did - version 31.0
    Race the new machine 10.9.4 Mavericks

    I started to notice intermittent problems with sending email - this seemed to release when I opened my BT mail account (the account that "feeds" Thunderbird) and then resend the email in Thunderbird.
    This "correction" has now stopped working and all what I continually get when you try to send the message:

    "Send the Error Message
    The message cannot be sent because the connection to the server of SMTP mail.btinternet.com has failed.
    The server is may be unavailable or refuses the SMTP connections. "(etc.).

    I checked with Mozilla and BT forums/help pages, then went to Thunderbird > tools > account settings > outgoing Server (SMTP) > change

    Then, I changed the settings to those recommended by BT and Mozilla:
    Server name: mail.btinternet.com
    Port - 465
    Security - SSL/TLS
    Authentication: normal password
    -User name (username)

    I also tried many variations (including the original settings)
    Server name: mail.btinternet.com
    Port - 587
    Security - no
    Authentication: password transmitted not securely
    -User name (username)

    I tried to remove my password and then redo the especially.
    I tried to turn the router and turn it back on and redo the especially.
    Nothing - apart from not being able to send email from Thunderbird works fine with incoming, I think really that I have tried everything I can. Can I remove my prefs - will this help? Is there something I missed? I wasted 4 hours and it feels like 4 days!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Good. When your problem has been fixed mark the thread as "Resolved" If you please.

  • Moving files from e-mail to Photo Gallery

    I moved files from my phone to my email.  How can I move these photos in my photo gallery? Thank you...

    I moved files from my phone to my email.  How can I move these photos in my photo gallery? Thank you...

    Are these images located in the email... in the form of an attachment?

    If so, and assuming you are using Windows Mail > click the attahment (or paper clip) > click on save attachments > navigate to your pictures folder > click Save.

    Photo Gallery is just a middleman. Pictures are actually stored in your pictures folder, not the gallery.

  • I don't want my emails to thunderbird &amp; my email.only regularly my ACCT of ordinary e-mail.

    I don't want my emails to go to outlook and thunderbird only.

    In this case I suggest you set up a separate account for install in Thunderbird and remove accounts that you want to use via your other email client Thunderbird.

    E-mail doesn't 'go' for a mail client; they are requested by an e-mail client and returned by a server. The only not to get some messages in an e-mail client is to put only not to ask.

    But why does not/can not just use Outlook for all?

  • You can close the tab email in Thunderbird?

    Is it possible to force close the primary e-mail in Thunderbird tab? I use thunderbird for the light module only and don't have no use of its obsolete e-mail options, so I would like to close this tab altogether.

    Categories are not electronic mail based on standards... There is a characteristic of the gmail mail client. They might be huge import for you, but in reality, they are totally irrelevant. So not exceeded, different from the concurrent interface. You could say lower as your seem to like it.

    I use Thunderbird because I find the indecipherable display of gmail messages. Others must like it that the add-on for Thunderbird which presents the same type of view has its followers. The folder options are just a nuisance. Using POP to stop this rot.

    Three times I told you that you can't. This probably isn't technically true, as a programmer with a lot of time is probably possible, everything is possible is you are writing your own program, but I don't think you or I are programmers with some free time to waste on such a useless result. I know that I'm not.

    Take the corners of the window and drag it to the format full screen. Do not use to expand. Close all other windows first via the taskbar and the latter. Windows will remember the size of the last closed window the next time that you open the program.
     
  • Unopenable after moving files

    When I move the files TIFF image on a server (I work in a Museum of history) a machine remote, often impossible to open these reliable image files.  Photoshop displays the message, "could not complete your request because it isn't the right kind of document.".   Look in Windows Explorer reveals that he has no data for these images in the column "Dimensions".  An attempt to rename the folder in which sometimes generates an "access denied" message (this occurs when the file is not open anywhere else).  No other Viewer or editor will open the file.  This doesn't happen when you move TIFF files from a remote computer on the server.  It also does not occur when you copy and stick a file only when it is cut and pasted or dragged and dropped.  He always seems to be a computer on the network, however, which can open the apparently altered files.  Curiously, it is not the same machine from one day to the other.  Sometimes, I was able to open these files after restarting the machine whose files have been moved to the origin.  I have not seen this happen with other types of image files (for example, JPEG files).  Our network administrator has not yet been able to solve the mystery.  What happens here?

    All what you describe sounds like a permissions problem access the file.  The default behavior is that moved files to another volume inherit the access permissions of the folder destination while the files moved within a volume to maintain their permissions.  Which copy (and not animated) files in the same volume, the copied file again will inherit the permissions of the folder to which it is moved to.  This is the default behavior.  It can be changed.  Everything is explained here:

    "How permissions are handled when you copy and move files and folders.
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310316 >

    Another way to approach this problem is to check the folder that the file in network-transferred to has the access permissions for other users of this computer (as well as the folder that you end by moving to).  For more information on this aspect, try this link:
