Thunderbird stalls on win 8.1

I'm running Win 8.1 and T'bird 24.4
T'bird stalls on every activity...accessing new mail, deleting/moving/sending messages, even opening new mail. The stall usually lasts for 30 seconds at a time.
I have reinstalled the program, removed the anti-virus mail scanning, and compacted my mailboxes. nothing seems to help. any ideas?

Thunderbird running under Win 8.1 with Defender does not download attachments and offline content.

Thunderbird on Win 8.1 with Windows Defender is not downloading attachments from my roadrunner email account. It does so when running under Ubuntu 12.04 though. On Windows no attachments are shown. Also on Windows there is content that is not shown, I know so as there is an empty box. Then there is no option to download offline content. How may I use Thunderbird to read my email if it won't display properly? I trust the source of these emails as they are from the legal department of my former employer. I asking for the content to be resent does not work either. Please help me.
Thank you;
Below is information on my Win 8.1 configuration.

Profiles corrupt in firefox and thunderbird after restart win 7 new profiles created

After restarting computer (Win 7 64 bit) new profiles in firefox and thunderbird created. Old profiles still there. May have been a Windows update (don't recall) at shut-down. Perhaps a clue Win 7 desktop ini file changed and this occurred: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330132
New computer install in use 2-3 days.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After restart

Solution:
The profiles.ini file had changed for both Thunderbird and Firefox.
I manually edited both profiles.ini files and changed the profile path back to the correct profile. For example I changed :
Path=Profiles/bbwyygfp.default
to:
Path=Profiles/k5adm39.default
Would mark this as solved if I knew how.....

Thunderbird stalls when autosaving draft with attachment

If I am composing a message, and add a large attachment (e.g. 1 MB), from that time forward every time Thunderbird autosaves the message to drafts, the program completely freezes for a period of many seconds (say 10 to 60 seconds). No keyboard input is displayed during this time. The period of the freeze seems to be proportional to the size of the attachment(s). This is extremely irritating! I am currently using TB 24.6.0 on XP, but this problem started happening maybe 6 or 12 months ago. It seems that something has changed with the way that TB handles attachments, and apparently each time it autosaves a draft it does a lot of work, and it drives the CPU load to 100% while it does it. This is driving me crazy.

That sounds like an anti virus issue. Try excluding your [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-tb Thunderbird profile folders] from anti virus scanning.
Also right click your draft folder and select compact.

Export mac mail to Thunderbird or Outlook on win 7

I have a user who is migrating to a windows, and I need to move his mail (specifically his sent mailbox) off of the mac and on to the win 7 machine. I can use Outlook or Thunderbird on the win 7 machine, it's a new setup. (Never used Thunderbird, but it looks pretty nice!)
Any instructions? My research assistant, Mr. Google, is remarkably silent on the topic!

Not automatically. That you must do manually. But by doing so, you will ensure that anything on the server can be read directly by any computer with any e-mail application that knows your account settings.

Entourage 2008 - Importing from Outlook 2007 ???

Hi guys, just got a MacBook Pro this week and I had reserved a copy of Office 2008 which I got today.
It's great because that's what I was waiting for to put my PC on sale
BUT i was astonished to see that there's not the option to import pst files in Entourage ??
I was using Office 2007 for PC therefore Outlook 2007.
The only way we can export stuff is by creating .PST files, so you can backup all your contacts, your messages with attachements and your calendar (which are my 3 priorities).
Using the equivalent application from Microsoft but for the Mac, that is : Entourage 2008, there's not the option to import .pst ?? What the heck ??
So please guys if you know a way to export my stuff (messages, contacts and calendar) from Outlook 2007 PC to Entourage 2008 MAC, please let me know !!!
THANK YOU !!

Hey guys,
I don't want to be repeting by here's the way I worked this out :
EMAILS
First I installed Thunderbird on my Win computer.
Then I imported from outlook. It took a while since my PST was like 3 Gb.
At first I was crashing it but then I let it work for a try and it imported everything perfectly, but not showing any progress bar during the process.
Second, I searched Thunderbird help for the way to export in MBOX, and it pointed out that I sould get a plug-in, which I did.
Third, having installed the plug-in, I had a tool menu for exporting. Only thing I had to do is select each folder one by one and export them using this plug-in, I only had to add .MBOX extention to every file.
Finally, when you get these files in OS X with entourage, you just drag and drop them in entourage and them import perfectly.
That did the job for me anyways.
CONTACTS
Send yourself emails of contacts !
I sent myself email (with the WORK OFFLINE option so I wouldn't receive them in outlook) in the contacts from outlook.
As you can imagine, I totally got rid of Outlook, and of Windows actually, by now but as I remember it when you right click on a contact you have an item that's called something like "send full information of contact through email".
So to keep my categories I sent one email per categories.
Back in entourage, I had to save attachements, import them, put them in a category.
Then next email, etc. and so on.
CALENDAR
I haven't found a way to do this but what I did was : In outlook you have a way to display your calendar events by a list, so I just made a couple of print screen of that list and I put the future events that I wanted to keep in Entourage.
And the conclusion is :
Well I said byebye to Entourage because I don't need MS Exchange support and I hate Microsoft more and more everyday so I'm using Mail, Address Book and iCal now
But I could easily import from entourage into all of these.
The only microsoft apps I still are the must-have : word, excel and powerpoint 2008.

How do I import an Outlook Express address book, saved to a memory stick from another PC?

I'm migrating everything from an old Windows XP machine on to a Windows 7 PC, and can't use my original email client, Outlook Express. But I need to import the OE address book from the XP PC to Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC. Any ideas?

Click the Start button, type contacts, then open the Contacts Program, then click the Import button, then select Windows Address Book file (.wab), and select your OE address book. Next, click the Export button and select Comma separated (csv) format. Once you have the csv file, it's worth opening it in a spreadsheet program or csv editor and arranging the columns to match the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_address_list_from_text_file TB address book layout]. Finally, in TB select Tools/Import...Address books...Text file...select the csv file, and verify the input fields match the TB fields.

Migrating from Outlook 2007 to Entourage 2008

15 days ago, I bought my first Mac after a 12-year gap. I have been trying to get my information from Outlook 2007 into Entourage 2008 without any luck. I've google'd and found that there are indirect paths only. (via mbox).
My E08 refuses to recognize the mbox files. After renaming my Inbox files as Inbox.mbox, they show up as E08 files (with the E08 icons). But I cannot open them in E08. When I go the File, Import method in E08, all mbox files are grayed out and I cannot select any of them.
I've installed Thunderbird on my Mac and got all the files into Thunderbird from my Win PC. Apple Mail crashes consistently when I try to import from Apple Mail.
Total file size is 5+ GB with 30 folders. Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong.

Here is a long pending update on how I got my OL2007 data into E2008.
On the PC:
1. Setup Gmail Imap in OL2007. (I used my Gmail account for this purpose. Go into Gmail and search for "Outlook Imap setup")
ENSURE ENTOURAGE IS NOT RUNNING ON THE MAC.
2. Drag and drop each sub-folder from the Inbox into the Inbox of the Gmail Imap folder.
3. Depending on the size of the sub-folder and attachment, it makes take a few minutes to a couple of hours.
On the Mac:
4. Setup the Gmail Imap folders in Entourage too. (again refer Gmail help section).
SHUTDOWN OL2007 ON THE PC
5. Drag and drop the subfolder you created in step 2 onto your Entourage Inbox. (because this is a "download", it might work faster).
6. After step 5 is complete, quit Entourage.
7. Back to your PC, start OL2007.
8. Drag and drop the sub-folder from Gmail into the OL2007 Inbox. (this step is required if you want to preserve all the data on OL2007).
9. Repeat for other folders present on your OL2007.
This process is excruciatingly slow and painful, but it did get me all my data, attachments, preserved the links intact and organized it according to categories. For categories, ensure that you create the same categories as your OL2007 on E2008.
Good luck.

After transfer from XP to Win7 I can't see out Outlook Express folder

I am converting from running Outlook Express on Windows XP to running Thunderbird on Windows 7. I installed Thunderbird on my XP computer and ran the import from Outlook Express which created the Outlook Express Import folder which does contain all the emails I wish to retain. I installed Thunderbird on my Windows 7 computer and copied the profile folder over from Windows XP. Since the profile names were different I changed the value in the profile.ini file as well as in the settings parameter in Thunderbird to match this copied value. However, I do not see the Outlook Express folder from Thunderbird. If I navigate the folder structure under the profile I do see the Outlook Express import folders. Any help in gaining access to this data would be helpful. Since I still have all the data on my XP box I can if needed reinstall Thunderbird.

I tried what you recommended and really see no difference. Let me add something that may help. When I installed Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC it did create a profile (but obviously with a different name from the one created on XP). The changes I mentioned making was to point the Win 7 version to use the profile from XP. But I just thought of one thing, on Win 7 the path would use AppData but on XP it would be Application Data. I think that because if does not have the same path names it does not see the Outlook folder. So if the Thunderbird on my Win 7 PC is not fixable, what is the best way to transfer the profile and all my old folders from XP over to Win 7?

Album artwork changed to "generic" images after trasfer from XP to Win7

I recentlly got a new Windows 7 pc, and I used a Belkin Easy transfer cable with my old Windows XP pc.
This transfered all my iTunes songs, but changed the album artwork to generic images, and not the orginal
artwork. I've triied get album artwork, but it dosn't change the image.
Is there a way to remove the artwork?
Has anyone else had this problem?

Macbook Pro Retina - Mac Mail Problem

I've just blown a fortune on a brand new retina display macbook pro. It's time for a fresh start after years of bugs and slow laptops so I've decided I don't want to migrate from my old macbook. I have multiple email addresses, some are pop and some are imap. I spent hours setting up all the addresses in mac mail only to find about 90% of the sent messages from one of the imap email addresses are missing (the most important adderss too!). The only ones in the sent folder are the ones sent using my iphone. Would I be correct in assuming all my sent message are no longer stored on my imap server? I can see them all if I use my old laptop so they must be lurking in a folder on that laptop somewhere. I've tried everything!! I tried deleting the mail folder from the library of my new laptop and the com.apple.mail.plist from the preferences. I then replaced them both with the ones on my old laptop... still the same problem. Any suggestions???

I've been using Mozilla Thunderbird on both Win PCs and Mac's for some time now and have no problems accessing both POP and IMAP accounts with it. I have 4 POP accounts and 2 IMAP accounts.
Switch to it from Windows Live Mail, which IMHO is just the pits, and then when I got my Mac and tried Mac Mail I said There has to be something better and found that Thunderbird also has a OS X version. So that is what I installed.
Been using it on Mac for almost 8 months now. No problems, at least none for me.

Blackberry link media sync problems

Hi Blackberry Support,
First of all, it's interesting that RIM brings a new style smartphone Blackberry Passport to gain additional market shares but the support has a structure for lifestyle people. In case of the main goal to develop extraordinaire products for business users i think is this not right way to get these customers.
Now to the sync problems, the using Plattforms are used:
MAC OS X 10.10.1
Blackberry Link Version 1.2.2 (Build 11)
Blackberry -8C40 / Software Version 10.3.0.908
Following bugs will be found:
1. to sync music from mac to passport are partly not operate (from approx. 100 titles are 60 on the device, sometimes nothing)
2. to sync calender & contacts are not operate in both ways
3. to make backups from the device sometimes operate
4. to sync videos - only self made videos operate not iTunes movies
5. the hole programm sometimes shut down by error report (Apple defect note is available)
So please give me a advise or a solution to resolve the Problems.
Cheers
Qualityman

Hi Guys and all the customers out there,
Answering the Question after 10 days discussion to resolve the issue in case of Blackberry Link with Blackberry support is definite "NO" not at all!
5 up to 8 Support People are communicate with me in case of the issue. Nearly nobody read the informations that i get from me. Again and again they ask me the same and i repead the same question "Did you read my message" but nothing more going on. Whatever grow with an support over 140 signs platform named Twitter?!
My experiences over 4 weeks with Blackberry Passport and Blackberry Support exhibits, the device including the operating software are good. The support are not goal-directed, it is more an sorts of stall to winning time to resolve the issues in the backround. These are against the customers unfair and untransparent.
It would be better to say, yes we have problems with our link software and we will resolve it asap.
The Company spins with this politics, the costumers decline this and sell the device or changing to another system.
This is the main challenge for RIM to come back in the market!
So for erverybody, before you desides to buy a blackberry device, take a accurately view to the supportforums!

Cannot delete or move emails and outgoing emails not saving to SENT box half the time. CAUSED by AVAST internet security.

Often, though not always, when I open THUNDERBIRD I'm not able to delete or move messages. I need to close the program and reopen. Similarly, when sending emails, sometimes things works smoothly and sometimes they hang up on saving to the SENT box. Apparently they DO get sent but I can't keep a copy. If I close and reopen, then it works as it should.
I'm running Windows 8.1, AVAST internet security, and Thunderbird 24.3.

Jim, Hopefully one of the Thunderbird experts will be along soon (I don't use Thunderbird) but before uninstalling Avast you may want to check the [http://forum.avast.com Avast forums] to see if other Windows 8 users are reporting Thunderbird issues. I did a search there and found:
*http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=146209.msg1061157#msg1061157 ''Thunderbird hangs in Win 8.1 during SAVE (to Draft folder)''

MS-7520 MSI x58 Eclipse HELP bios hangs!

Heeeeelp...
I just flashed my bios thru the live update.. restarted - made a decent OC to 3200, and my memory to 1600mHz.. Nothing dramatic..
It booted up one time.. but stalled in win start..
So I tryed to get into the bios again..
But it just hangs at CPU ini..
What can I do? really nervous about this...

Quote from: Slunten on 09-February-09, 20:44:59
Tryed to clear CMOS on the back of the motherboard-... But it doesnt react..
Is there some kind of forceswitch at motherboard?
EDIT: I used the resetswitch on the mobo
Thnx VERY much for the input...
the reason i wanted to flash my bios is because of some sound driver issue I got..
So I thought it maybe would be a good Idea to update the bios..
Don't think the hang issue has to do with flashing bios if u flash it correctly, most likely has to do with instability OC. I assume now all goes well after you reset the switch?

Win 8.1 OneDrive upload stalls, no indicator, no error

Now that OneDrive offers 1TB of storage, I am attempting to upload all of my music, videos, and pictures - about 225GB of data. This is not working. OneDrive mysteriously stalls the upload. There are no indications of the upload stalling/stopping/pausing.
I know it is stalled ONLY because I'm looking at network traffic and it is ZERO!
If I check the Win 8 OneDrive app, the app indicates there "2 actions in progress..." Bringing the OneDrive app into context by clicking it, CPU utilization rises dramatically. Sometimes to 80-90% range. Bring anything else back into
the foreground, CPU util drops to a couple of %. There is no impact by having/not having and upload in progress. CPU util is a bug in the OneDrive app. Intermittent, btw, for anybody that wants to file a bug on it.
If I check the systray icon in Desktop by floating my mouse over it, the tooltip says, "Uploading 87.2 GB of 149.3 GB (58%)" (btw, due to restarts, it adusted the 225GB down to 150GB). However that's wrong. Nothing is actually uploading.
If I click the systray icon a small console pops up with the syncing icon appearing and the following text displayed:
"Uploading - 58% complete
4904 items remaining
Sync
Pause syncing
Open OneDrive in File Explorer"
Again, this is wrong as there is ZERO network traffic.
If I click the "Pause syncing" link, OneDrive is confused and thinks an error occurred. It displays the exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle and states:
"File syncing is paused
4904 items couldn't be uploaded
View sync problems
Resume syncing
Open OneDrive in File Explorer"
Obviously this is wrong, there was no error. Why it now displays the status as "paused", when clearly based on network traffic it was already paused, I don't know. It's been paused all along. If I click the "Resume syncing"
link, the sync will indeed resume to the maximum rate of my outbound internet connection (about 6.5Mbps). However, when I come back to my PC after an hour or so, I find the same state: No network traffic, but OneDrive is indicating a sync is in
progress.
I have gone through all the power options to disable sleep, disable hibernation, disable drive shutdown, disable monitor shutoff, etc. I went through network adapter advanced config and disabled power off (which is for power savings).
First off, while a sync is in progress, Windows should be smart enough to know NOT to shut down or enter low power modes, but due to bugs, that is not the case. Second, even after modifying the power profile and keeping my PC and all ancillary hardware
alive, OneDrive still pauses and does so without any indicators anywhere. OneDrive appears to think the transfer is still going.
I have verified all updates are installed. I have rebooted my PC. I've sat here and watched over it hoping to catch the problem, but have never seen it occur while I'm active on my PC. I've verified this same problem occurs on other PCs.
I'm out of ideas.
What is the point of having 1TB of storage if I can't upload anything to it? Uploading this much data at 6.5Mbps will take days. I cannot sit here and babysit my PC for days on end to find a workaround for Windows/OneDrive bugs.
Please help.
Regards,
Michael

One drive questions need to be asked here. On a different note I would make sure Onedrive is completely backed
up AFAIK it is not.
