Hello When I open Thunderbird to read or write emails there is a folder called Thunderbird containing a number of the program files. I don't know how I managed to get it there but I'm trying to get rid of it. I have edited my Thunderbird profile and removed the offending folder in all...

Greetings I've got 2 problems with Thunderbird which I would really appreciate some help on. 1 Following my computer's hard drive failing and a new one installed, a number of emails I'm receiving are blank, except for the name and address - I guess this is called the header. The body of...

Hello My wife Madeleine has MozBackup on her 2 Laptops (running Windows 7) for backing up Thunderbird. It works perfectly on one computer and won't work on the other. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it several times and everything goes well until I try to do a back up of the emails...

On Saturday I was in Thunderbird when an alert popped up asking if I would like to upgrade to the latest version. Without thinking about it I clicked on OK and then suddenly realised I had made a terrible blunder. The new layout of Thunderbird is quite different than the version I was used...

Hi Raymond We're still having awful problems with Thunderbird on my wife's ASUS computer running on Windows 7 at 64 bits. Her other computer, which runs on XP Pro SP3, has no problems with Thunderbird when it comes to retrieving emails from her domain site. But with the ASUS we keep getting...

Greetings My wife has a laptop running on Windows 7 with Thunderbird as her email client. She has a separate domain name and Thunderbird shows that it has an IMAP server, whereas it is a POP3 server. I've tried everything I can think of to edit the server from IMAP to POP3 but without...

Greetings Raymond I. too, would like to thank you and all at emailquestions for the wonderful help I have been freely given over the last few months. Is there any way I could make a donation or pay a membership fee to help ensure that this jewel of a site keeps going? Both you and Big Dan have...

Fighting spam has become almost a full time exercise and according to the experts there is more spam traveling the Internet than legitimate electronic mail. Apart from being just a nuisance spam can also be criminally dangerous, as well as costing us money by using up our Internet resources...

Greetings Raymond I'm writing to apologise for forgetting to thank you for the link you sent in your last e-mail about what an e-mail is. By the time I wade through this little tome I'll be an expert, if I live that long. I've just completed my nightly ritual of listening to a disk from an...

Greetings I was wondering if it is possible to send copies of e-mails as attachments rather than using the forward option. I hate receiving e-mails with fwd on them - I'm rather anal retentive - and this little abbreviation appearing on my e-mails, especially the ones I send myself from one...

Greetings Like everyone I receive lots of SPAM - why we dignify this scourge by spelling it with capitals is beyond me. Over the last few months many of these pests have started using my own e-mail address as their "from" address and, of course, when my filters blacklist it, it's my e-mail...
