The process is a little complicated, but it should be achieved successfully. Follow the instructions to properly set an auto-reply.

  1. Open Thunderbird and create a new message. This will be your auto-reply.
  2. Go to File > Save As and choose Template.
  3. Save the template name as Auto-Reply.
  4. Close the template, not go to Tools > Message Filters. Click New and change the name to Auto-Reply.
  5. Select Match all of the following, and under the For Apply Filter When change the Subject to To and insert your email address you want to activate the auto-reply for.
  6. Click the Plus button at the end of TO and change the TO to Status. Leave the middle menu at is, then select New.
  7. Click the Plus button again and change TO to Status and middle one to isn't, then the last field to Replied.
  8. Click Plus button one more time and change TO to Status then middle one to isn't and the latest one to Forwarded.
  9. Under Perform These Actions, select Move Message to and use Reply With Template from the drop down menu, then select Auto-Reply template.
  10. Close the filtering and enable the option in the Message Filters list.
  11. Now you have an Auto-Reply function inside Thunderbird.

I want to export my Netscape 7.2 profile to Mozilla Thunderbird. What version of Mozilla Thunderbird should I download for automatic migration at my first log in?

D
Answer by Dan Angel

You can download and install Mozilla Thunderbird 24.01. When you install and launch Mozilla Thunderbird for the first time you will be asked by the Import Wizard window if you want to import Options, Account settings, Address book, Filters and other data from another mail client like Mozilla and Netscape. If you select this, your entire profile will be imported.

How do I access the address book when "forwarding" email messages?

G
Answer by Guest

My work around. If there are only one or two to add: type in first few letters and it will fill other fields. If you have a lot of addresses to add, open the Address book, click to forward the email, minimize the Thunderbird program, change the size of the forwarding email and the address book so that they both are visible on the screen.
Click and drag from the address book to the "BCC" bar.
If you are sending am email to a lot of addresses you should be using Bcc.

Answer by The Jedi

Just register the program, and then I believe it asks you to create an account. I don't remember for sure, because mine are gone now, but open SI and at the top right is two blue buttons. I believe the one is to register. Once you register, it will change to only one blue button that says "Visit Your Page", which will take you to your page here. (Oh, and after doing this, shut down SI and restart it, so you're User Name and that single blue button can be changed in the software's registry entries).

Answer by Sean Hill

Yes, you can use Mozilla Thunderbird for all the email accounts you have. The only requirement is related to the way you connect to those email accounts. It actually means to enable POP3 and IMAP for all the accounts to be able to access them because Mozilla THunderbird uses these communication protocols to send and receive emails. To set up multiple accounts and provides, access the support page provided by the Mozilla company. There is everything explained on how to do it.

I am using Thunderbird on both Windows 7 and Windows XP Pro computers. When I receive an email with a .pdf file attachment, the file appears as winmail.dat. If I do the 'Save as' and save it as a .pdf, Acrobat says it is corrupted. What is wrong or how can I resolve this issue? I have seen it several times on different computers.

General Repair of Adobe Acrobat Reader

  • Go to adobe website, click the "Support" tab on the top of the screen, and click on "Adobe Reader," and then select the "I can't open a PDF document" statement underneath "Troubleshooting." The Support tab is located near the top of the screen as a white word against a black backdrop. After clicking Support, you will see the phrase "Product Support Centers" on a new page in bold white font, under which is "Adobe Reader." The new page after clicking "Adobe Reader" will have the word "Troubleshooting" underneath the phrase "Adobe Reader and Help Support." Underneath "Troubleshooting" is "I can't open a PDF document."
  • Follow the instructions on how to complete a general repair and installation of Adobe Acrobat Reader. To attempt the most basic PDF repair method, Open "Adobe Acrobat Reader" (select the program in your Start menu, which is on the bottom-left part of the screen), select "Help" from the gray tab menu at the top of Adobe Acrobat Reader, and click on "Repair Adobe Reader Installation." A meter should pop up indicating that your Adobe version is being checked for errors and is being linked back to the home Adobe website just in case you need to download a new update of the program. If you need to download an updated version of the program, another pop-up will appear on your screen asking you if you want to update Adobe. Click "Yes."
  • Reopen the PDF file. It should now be readable. If not, then try the next set of directions.
