I rarely stop thunderbird, running your 137.0.2 atm because debians 128 turned into a crash-o-matic while downoading my inbox from shentel.net several months ago. Your help menu sometimes doesn't display versions. But everytime I restart thunderbird, I have to setup my local folders and msg filters from scratch. I am subbed to quite a few lists, probably 30 or more and it usually takes around 70 msg filters to get it all working. Why can't there be continuity? Or, how can I recover my local folders and msdg filter?

Thank you. Cheers Gene, CET

I would like to know if there will be the monthly releases available as .deb package. I use the mozillateam's PPA, but I just get the latest ESR version there, and I would like to get the latest monthly releases, like we get with Firefox. Maybe create an official apt repository, similar to the one we have for Firefox? Thanks.

Thunderbird on the Linux Fedora-40 workstation: unknown version (the workstation has since totally failed), but it was up to date as of the end of March 2025.

Thunderbird on the win-10 box: 137.0.2 (64 bit).

On my Linux Fedora-40 workstation, I backed up ($HOME)/.thunderbird (the whole thing) to a USB stick. Now I need to get all the Lightning calendar data (tasks, holidays, and so on) into Thunderbird on the win-10 box. I want the Calendar data only. 1. What do I need to copy? 2. Where in my win-10 box do I put the files that I should copy? 3. What other steps do I need to do?

Thank-you!

Ubuntu 24.04 snap Thunderbird 128.9.1esr lost its application icon

Sometime last week, my snap thunderbird package updated to version 128.9.1esr. After that update, clicking on the Thunderbird icon in the dock starts thunderbird under a generic icon that appears on the right side of the dock (showing the dot indicator under it), rather than showing the thunderbird icon with the running indicator under it.

I am using X11, fully updated Ubuntu 24.04.2, with Thunderbird installed as a snap. Work correctly until last week. If I start the application manually from the command line, same generic icon appears. (If I start firefox snap from the command line, the firefox icon shows the "running" indicator under it as it is supposed to.

Note: Thunderbird IS running and running fine - I have not found any other issues, just this potential regression.

Anyone have any ideas? I thought I would post here before filing a bugzilla bug report. I was not able to find any mention of this (or a similar) problem in the last year.

Thanks.

Hello,

We are trying to automate updating Firefox ESR from 32bit to 64bit. There seems to be an issue with getting user's profiles to properly migrate for ESR. If we do a plain 32bit uninstall and 64bit installation, a new "default-esr-1" profile gets created (which is expected behavior from these Mozilla docs for new installs). But, when we set the MOZ_LEGACY_PROFILES=1 policy, this reverts to using the "default" profile instead of "default-esr" profile that was previously in use.

Are there any known ways around this which does not require user intervention to manually change back to the "default-esr" profile?

Thank you
