I suggest creating a manual filter to delete all older than a defined date.

Please be specific, as there is a 'delete' option on the menus.

Is the situation that you have a new PC and want to recover contact lists that were on old PC? I ask, because contact lists are not account-specific. if the answer to my question is 'yes', then I suggest copying all files where the name starts with 'abook' to the new profile.

David I am using the same (not new) computer! I had to remove my email account and reload Thunderbird! My contacts did not come back. I am trying to get them from Thunderbird records I guess?

If the old pc is accessible, this will import everything: Here is the link for moving a profile in Windows when installed in default location: 

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

here is the info in brief steps:

  1. ensure thunderbird is not running on old machine
  2. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  3. this should open windows file explorer in Appdata\roaming folder
  4. highlight the Thunderbird folder and copy to external media
  5. ensure thunderbird is installed on second computer and NOT running
  6. enter %appdata% in search window on task bar and press Enter key
  7. you should be in Appdata\roaming folder , copy&paste the exported Thunderbird folder there. This may prompt to overwrite an existing folder of same name. allow it
  8. start thunderbird and all should be there

Maybe, if you share info on what settings you are using for incoming and outgoing, we can offer suggestions. Thank you.

There are no 'thunderbird email accounts', but I think you will be comfortable with addresses such as gmail, or outlook, as you indicated. If you have problems between phone and PC, it may be that the phone is also POP (?)

Hi my Thunderbird email says it was at 95% full so I tried to set it to automatically delete emails older than a certain date, or a certain amount. I tried both options under account settings both delete all emails over 50,000 and tried delete emails older then 1000 days. Thunderbird is still loading emails well past both the number and the amount of days ago. In addition before it said I had roughly a little over 100k emails, and now it says downloading message header 1 of 431,000 at the bottom. The only other thing I did was click an option that popped up saying it fixed most problems with emails not loading properly by fixing the folder or something like that. I cannot find the option again however anywhere. In addition now that it is loading over 400k emails, it has emails at the top of the date saying from today at all different times which are 100% old emails so I have no idea what is going on or how to fix. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as it is completely slowing down my computer and almost impossible to send an email while downloading. Thanks so much!

I am exporting email with attachments utilizing the import Export tool and I continue to get Unable to save the attachment. Please check your file name and try again later alert. When I look at the attachments they are empty folders. I have named each folder as simple as possible and it still does the same alert. Is there a work around for this. This did not happened before, however, now its happening.

I have a profile on a disk from a Windows 10 machine that recently died. I have a Windows 11 laptop that I just installed Thunderbird on, and I tried a profile import from the tools. It was able to successfully import my address book as well as my local folders, but did not import my calendar events or my sub folders under my inbox. Is there any way for me to get this data imported? Thanks, Gary

Hello. Thunderbird is creating new labels or folders based only on the ones included in the Message Filters. The other labels remain unchanged. It creates a new label or folder every day or every couple of days. I cannot figure out why this is happening or how to stop it.

Running Thunderbird 115.16.0esr (64-bit) on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS fresh install.

Steps to reproduce: If I right click on any email in the inbox and select ""Open Message in New Window"", the message does not appear.

Actual Behaviour: However, another dot appeared beside the Thunderbird icon in the Gnome Dock. Clicking on the Thunderbird icon brings up a couple of thumbnails, one of the main application and one containing the message that was opened. Clicking on the thumbnail does nothing.

Expected Behaviour: The message window should come into view and clicking on the thumbnail in the dock should also bring this window up.

I believe this is a bug but if it is some configuration issue or workaround exists, I would appreciate the help.
