• Thunderbird does not work after installing Win 10 and the mobile profile of Win 7

  I've installed Tbird 38.3.0 on a new Dell computer with Windows 10 on this (8 GB of RAM, 1 TB harddrive). I then followed these steps to put my old profile from the old computer to Windows 7:
  1. copied my profile on the Windows 7 computer on an external drive.
  2 installed Tbird on the new computer Windows 10 38.3.0, but has nothing to do with it.
  3. following the instructions on the site of Thunderbird on the displacement of a profile:

    a) Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile on the Win 10 computer.
    b) Copy the profile from the external drive to the new profile folder
    c) Use Profile Manger to tell Tbird to open the new profile
  

  4. start Tbird.

  I see my files with email in them, but there are problems:
  1. None of the Tbird dialog boxes open when I choose a command in the menu bar (including the new Message).
  2. I can't get Tbird to display the contents of a folder in the Home tab. There is only the accounts and the advanced features of the Inbox, display in the right pane, next to the folder tree. The only way to see the contents of a folder is right-click and choose open in a new tab.
  3. when I click or double-click on a folder, the contents of the file does not replace the previous folder. TBird on the Windows 7 computer, clicking a folder displays the contents of the new folder.
  4. sometimes when I Alt + Tab of Tbird, then Alt + Tab, moving the cursor of the mouse on the messages in the Inbox tab causes the message object, Date,... to disappear, leaving blank lines.

  I tried to uninstall Tbird and reinstall it, but this does not solve the problem.
  I tried to reboot Windows 10 but that does not solve the problem.
  I don't seem to be able to download email and preview in the messages pane, but I can't open it in a separate window.

  A lot of people seems to be able to run Tbird on Win10, so it should work. Any ideas on why it does not work and what I can do about it?

  Thank you very much in advance!

  go to add-ons.
  remove the addon of lightning.
  restart - everything should be good.
  If you still need the addon of lightning, install it again - it should give you a new version.

  Please tell us that all is well

• Thunderbird does not work in the different State

  I installed Thunderbird on the laptop of a friend and everything works fine and has been for a few years. However, when my friend went on holiday to a different State, Thunderbird would not work. She could connect the laptop to the local wireless internet and browse the web without any problem, but Thunderbird wouldn't work at all.

  I cannot think of any reason why Thunderbird wouldn't work, ideas?

  To sum up, some providers only allow access to their e-mail servers if you connect to the internet using their service. Others offer a special mail server settings for those who travel. Yet a third group assumes that everyone travel at some point and harden their service with passwords and step aside holidays and mobile silliness that invades the United States market particularly secure connection port.

  The short solution is really not use ISP provided email addresses. GMX, Yahoo, hotmail and gmail are free, do not have most of the things stupid ISP continue with more spam and limits and works the same from any internet connection.

• Thunderbird does not work properly after copying old content profile in the new profile, what can I do

  My old laptop crashed, but fortunately I got the hard drive out, who now works as an external drive. I installed TB on my new laptop computer. I copied the contents of the old file to profile in the new profile file and start of TB. I have all my files of pace, but TB does nog works correctly. After that connection, it takes forever to load the new messages, when I leave a message to another, the first answer I get is "TB not responding' and after a few minutes, I finally get to the next message. Same story with 'reply' or 'delete '. I already tried to delete the index file and have tuberculosis still indexing message folders, but this did not help.

  I noticed that my old profile files seems to have a sort of double files in the subfolder Mail, old accounts. For example: pop.tele2.nl, pop.tele2 - 1.nl, pop.tele2 - 2.nl. I'm not sure what they are (they seem to hold different versions?) or is it relevant?

  When I search the AppData/Roaming/profiles I'll find it (on the old and the new hard disk as well) but I can not navigate on him (some parents of hidden file)? I checked the rights on the files of my account profile (Administrator rights). I don't know what to do more, so I hope to help.

  Re: for example: pop.tele2.nl, pop.tele2 - 1.nl, pop.tele2 - 2.nl.
  Here's the e-mail accounts for pop e-mail account. If you have several addresses on the same server, it will have the same name but an additional example:-1 appended to the name. If you got an e-mail account, it can also create and add the additional number. Why you have several, I can't say with certainty what caused them without knowing what you have done. The point being, you must have the directory Local pointing to one that is correct and has all your existing emails.

  Profile files are hidden files.

  What local directory is set to the e-mail account?
  "Tools" > "Account settings" > "Server settings" for the e-mail account
  bottom right under "Local Directory"
  It will say something like this:
  C:\Users\User account name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abc12345.default\Mail\pop.tele2.nl

  Copy paste the info on this issue, so I don't know which e-mail account you use.

  How many email accounts you listed in the left pane in the account settings? You have just the one pop email account and local folders?

  What antivirus do you use?
  If you McAfee please read;

  How many emails you have in the Inbox folder?
  It is advisable to use the Inbox folder as a mailbox for incoming mail, and not as a general storage. Suggest you create folders and move all the emails in the Inbox in other appropriate folders, then right-click on Inbox and select "Compact".

  Good info explaining what is compaction and why it is important:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/compacting-folders?ESAB=a & s = Compacting & r = 0 & As = s

  It is also a good idea to Archive mail older than a few months.
  Implemented for archive by month and keep the structure of archive folders. These emails will still be visible by 'Archives' folder and in your profile, but check-in will reduce the size of files and therefore less memory use during their opening.

• Thunderbird does not work - very disappointed

  I got to play a sound when I receive e-mail in my regular Inbox. It does sometimes, but most of the time it isn't. I just need to check from time to time to see if there is any new mail it. I can't respond to mail important timely for this reason.

  Second, it ALSO randomly plays the new mail sound when mail is received in my trash. I use filters to direct messages from low priority to the trash. I don't want to know what mail goes, this is the folder I want to check from time to time and do not informed of mail is received it.

  These two issues are completely random.

  I think it is (or is supposed to) when messages arrive in your Inbox.

  Given that your filter is on the Inbox and moves the messages selected in the trash, these newly arrived messages have already triggered the new mail indicator.

  I don't like noisy computers and my speakers are almost always muted, so I do not use this module myself, but the add-on ToneQuilla offers the possibility to play specific sounds depend on filtering. This might be able to give you a silent moves to the basket and could improve the success rate of play wanted noises.

  What platform do you use i.e. Windows, OSX or Linux? Linux in particular seems reluctant to make noises on the mail either.

• Upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 and Thunderbird will not work. SOLVED was not logged as an administrator

  On my laptop, conversion of Windows 8 to 10 was fine and Thunderbird has worked without any problems. On the computer of my wife who was on Windows 7, Thunderbird does not work. Thanks to this forum I could check that all emails and addresses etc. have been copied across, but Thunderbird asks me to put in place the new account because it does not acknowledge my previous POP and other parameters. Bloody Microsoft. Can anyone help?

  I have found the answer - default (why?) I was connected as administrator and therefore was not seeking the e-mail account of my wife in the same way as it would. The search in all the files and directories of profile TB, I found a test directory, where TB was given to me. Do not know what other tricks that I solved the problem, but it is all working now. And people spend their entire lives on such things?

• The address bar does not work in Thunderbird 3.31

  In TBIRD 3.31, entered an address does not work. Is there a fix, or TBIRD has just been lazy fixing a huge problem in the update. Besides the gray boxes that we seem all to hate, this is what happens. Let's say I want to send an email to David Richards. I go to the first line of the address on my message, type "dav" and four addresses are presented for me to choose... David Elliott, David Richards, David Franks, and David Bloom.

  I click on 'David Richards' and the insert name and e-mail address on the address line 1. I hit TAB or ENTER, to go to line 2, to insert a second address and immediately 'David Richards' is replaced by David Elliott - the first name in the suggestion list.

  Only two workaround solutions are, after you have inserted the correct name in the list, 1) right-click on the 2nd line of the address, or 2) type the name on line 1, so that it is the first choice in the suggestion box until I hit TAB or ENTER.

  This, of course, defeats the function addresses completely automatic filling.

  Lazy Thunderbird HELP. How can you not have noticed and it's already fixed?

  Yes, it's a bug, and no one is being lazy.

  People volunteer their time to bring you a mail client and as soon as there is nothing like a problem, someone is lazy. Seriously, this is not acceptable. Before commenting on the contributions of others, please indicate what your contributions have been.

• Files of Thunderbird does not open, aid not to answer and only get Messages responds on the toolbar.

  Hi people,

  My Thunderbird has turned into a pigeon feather-less in the last days.

  It does not at all most of the time. If I restart the PC (Windows 7), it will start sometimes.

  Even if started, the only way I can see the contents of any folder is to right-click and 'open in a new tab '. Then, I can see the content but can not respond to anything.

  The tab 'Get new Messages' works, but nothing else on the work of the toolbar at all. Aid does not work.

  I used MozBackup to, hopefully, back up everything.

  May I ask if there is any repair that I can do or do I just re - install and rely on Mozbackup to recover and re - install all the stuff?

  Thank you.

  Ian

  Install the program only touchs the program, not your data. Thus, on an existing program.

• Thunderbird does not connect with the server

  Another recent problem is Thunderbird does not connect with the server. I don't know if sent mail will go out, but I know I'm nothing receive. My internet connection works well for FF or another browser. I checked my settings and they seem OK. I checked the default settings in Win10x64 and they are correct. Any ideas?

• Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T.

  Thunderbird does not all files except "inbox." and against the info 'aid', there is NO 'account settings' under 'Tools' & I have the latest version of T. I just need to download the SENT MESSAGES, Inbox not only.

  Re: Where is 'account settings '.
  If you do not see 'Tools', then you do not have your active 'Menu Bar'.
  See picture below on the activation of all the toolbars make life easier.

  Different methods of location of the 'account settings ':
  Via the toolbar "Menu Bar":

  • Tools > accounts settings

  Through the pane of folders:

  • Right-click on the name of the e-mail account in the folders pane, and then select "settings".

  Via "Menu Icon.

  • Menu icon > Options > account settings

  Re: I need to download sent Messages Inbox not only.
  E-mail accounts IMAP see a remote view of the files on the server.
  You subscribe to view these folders in Thunderbird.
  You synchronize directories subscribed for a copy in Thunderbird.
  What you do in a folder for example imap: delete, will occur on the server, so viewing via webmail or Thunderbird folders appear identical.

  However, in your case, it seems that you have created a POP e-mail account.
  E-mail POP accounts can only connect to Inbox server and download server Inbox for the Thunderbird Inbox pop e-mail account.
  It's not a quirk of Thunderbird; This is how all Pop mail represents the work.

  There is a work around to get "sent" in the folder mail sent from server in Thunderbird. You just do it once, because when you send it through Thunderbird, it will put the e-mails in the folder sent TB pop mail account and not on the server.

  Thunderbird creates a "Sent" folder when first send you an email.
  So, if you have not yet sent an email, please send one, even if only to yourself.

  Then, move all inbox emails in the appropriate folders.
  You can create new folders to organize them.

  How to create a new folder:

  • Right-click on the name of the e-mail account, and then select "new folder."
  • Give an appropriate file name and click "create a folder".

  When the Inbox is empty:

  • Logon to the Web e-mail account by using a browser.
  • Move all emails "Sent" in the "Inbox".

  In thunderbird:

  • Click on 'Get the message'

  all the "Sent" emails must get downloaded from the server Inbox anto your Inbox in Thunderbird.

  • Then move all your emails in the 'Sent' Thunderbird folder.

  You should now have all these emails downloaded from the server and display in Thunderbird.

• the software sticky password does not work.

  the Sticky Password plugin does not work in Firefox 37.

  Changed the product forum this thread is in Thunderbird in Firefox so no need to create a duplicate thread.

  It is an Extension in Firefox and not a Plugin like Flash or Java.

  You're too test is based on the Beta channel (currently at 37.0b3), and the Extensions like these tends to do not support the current version at most which is Firefox 36. www.mozilla.org/Firefox/All/

  In the Sticky Password software you can go in "parameters - supported browsers and install the extension" because I think that may be the case there are updates? https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/948577
