My aim is to save the email of three years ago (all but some folders) and then remove from the server (i use IMAP, Thunderbird 102.7.1 on Ubuntu).

I was a long time user of the Evolution mail client and I was used to programmatically (python script at bash level) to create a directory with a lot of mbox files (one for each mail folder), then I archived it in a DVD.

I use Thunderbird in two accounts plus the local-folders, so pressing "archive" in thousands of different mail is not feasible.

I'm looking for a solution that take the starting date, the final date, and the list the folder involved (or the ones to skip): is there a function, a sequence of commands, or an add-on to do that?

Thanks

I have successfully used thunderbird for years, but cannot add my gmail account. I read the google and TB docs. I have tried this several times. I must be doing something wrong, but not clear to me…

First, I did gmail steps:

1) log into gmail using gmail.com email address and gmail password 2) click on Setting “gear” in upper right 3) click on “see all settings” 4) click on “forwarding and pop/imap” tab 5) verify that “enable imap” is checked. Says “status: imap is enabled”

Then, I did thunderbird steps:

6) clear error log. click File / New / Existing Mail Account 7) enter 3 items: my name, full gmail.com email address, and gmail password 8) check “remember password” 9) click “continue” 10) TB says “configuration found in mozilla isp database” 11) IMAP option already checked 12) click blue “done” button

Then, there were some google popups:

13) in google popup, gmail address already entered, clicked “next” 14) next popup, enter same gmail password from step 1, click “sign in” 15) receive phone call for google 2-step verification and enter code 16) next popup says “mozilla thunderbird email wants to access …” 17) popup has 3 items: email, contacts, and calendar. click “allow”

Finally, back at thunderbird, it says in a yellow box: “Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password”. So fails to work.

I accessed settings / privacy / passwords / saved passwords. The list is empty. "Use a primary password" is not checked.

In case helpful, here are the messages in the error console resulting from one attempt (steps 1 to 17), with my gmail address blanked out:

see: Thunderbird not sending with Gmail POP3 SOLVED

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1408429

See 21 March.

Well, after I thought I had fixed my Problem, I got a big surprise. A friend came by and I was explaining what I did so we had a look at the Account Settings. When I pulled up the SMTP settings I noticed that the Port selection had been changed back to 587. I checked the other Gmail accounts and they too had reverted to 587. Bear in mind, I had previously changed all the accounts SMTP ports to the default, 465. Now, the question is, “How did the ports revert to 587. 587 is the port chosen when Thunderbird sets up a gmail account even though it shows the default as 465. Does anyone know how this could happen? Joe

I always had notification of unread emails on the Dock of my Mac, but this does not work anymore. I am running 102.9.0 (64 bit). I have seen other posts on this, but no credible answers as to why it has ceased to function and what is being done to fix it?

Everything on my Mac used to have System Preferences for Apps and now even Thunderbird seems to be 'Settings' which is not as easily usable or as well organised as, System Preferences used to be.

It strikes me that more and more computer Apps are suffering from more work all the time in order to use an App by virtue of having to click on more and more menus all the time and using up more and more time, which is not particularly creative.

Hello,

Just installed Thunderbird Beta 112.0b3 (64-bit) a couple of days ago, getting the feel of this one and doing OK, but found an issue.

Buttons (screenshot supplied) are not working (not taking me anywhere) except for the calendar one, which works OK

Any feedback or instructions to correct this would be appreciated.

When I launch Thunderbird IMAP, it tries to bring current any IMAP activity I’ve done on my phone but gets stuck indexing/synchronizing. Here’s what I’ve tried:

A. In Thunderbird 1. Rebuild the Global Database

2. Rebuild the INBOX.msf file

B. In ESET Antivirus, Assign Exclusions for Thunderbird 1. Go to SETUP > advanced > detection engine > exclusions > detection exclusions > edit, and there are two: (1) C: Program files\Mozilla Thunderbird, and (2) C: Program Files(x86)\ Mozilla Maintenance Service.

2. Go to SETUP > advanced > web and email > protocol filtering > excluded applications > edit, C: Program files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe.

3. Go to SETUP > advanced > email client protection > email protocols, and disable (turn OFF) the IMAP and IMAPS protocols.

4. You have to also exclude the Thunderbird Profiles Folder. Go to SETUP > advanced > detection engine > exclusions > detection exclusions > edit, and navigate to C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\

5. Restart the computer.

C. When I launch Thunderbird, it tries to bring current any IMAP activity I’ve done on my phone but hangs at indexing/synchronizing.

1. The above steps should be enough to resolve the issue if it’s caused by ESET program or settings, according to ESET tech support.

2. To verify whether the issue is being caused by ESET program or ESET settings, I uninstalled ESET and ran Thunderbird in an attempt to reproduce the issue. The issue persists with ESET uninstalled. Therefore the problem is not ESET. So I reinstalled ESET. If you do use ESET for antivirus be sure to assign the above exclusions.

D. Is there a way for me to pay someone for telephone tech support or a way for me to go back to v91?

1) In my internet search about what are .mozmsgs folders, I read that they are related to a Windows search function. However I am no longer using Windows, but a Mac. Does that mean they are redundant and I could delete them?

Background: I am moving my Thunderbird profile from the iMac to my Macbook when traveling. And afterwards I am moving it back. I seem to have lost mails from earlier years but just found them on the Macbook. For some reason the synchronization did not transfer all the subfolders. The strange thing is that the iMac (which did not show the older mail folders) has lots of .mozmsgs folders, while the Macbook (which showed the older mails) does not. I am using only POP never IMAP.

2) I organize my mail folders in yearly folders. After some years, when I am less likely to looking things up, I move the year folders into an archive folder. I do this inside of Thunderbird. Now I just noticed that I have empty .sbd and .mozmsgs folders in the original location (zero bites). Again I am wondering if these folders are redundant and could be deleted?

Thanks!

Using Thunderbird 102.9.0 (64-bit), Windows 10

To clarify what I mean in my title: I've set up a message filter that is supposed to search in the body that contains a word. I know the word is in the body, but yet the filter is not being triggered.

I have tried a different word that has spaces before and after and it seems to work, so I guess that's the problem, but how can I allow thunderbird to work when there's different characters before or after the word also?

Hello wise people of the internet,

I've just installed Thunderbird, which happily downloaded the last couple years worth of messages... and then stopped. I can't get it to pick up the rest, even though there's another fifteen years of email that I'd like to preserve on this computer. I tried repairing the folder: it flickers through the existing emails for a while, and maybe stretches the stop date another month or two back, but otherwise doesn't change anything.

I'd be very grateful for any suggestions! I'm truly just using this as a backup for my emails (I continue to read and send within the browser), so it's important to me to get it all here.

Thanks in advance!
