Great video! I set this up around four years ago, sharing Gmail and Yahoo email. Your tutorial explains perfectly how to implement the Thunderbird settings. I originally set up Thunderbird on Windows XP. The program basically worked, yet was slow and a little buggy, since the hardware was older, and mostly because Windows XP doesn't support the latest version of Thunderbird. After installing the newest version of Thunderbird on a newer PC running Windows 10, the program worked like a charm. The TBird documentation specified Window 7 as the minimal OS-level. I don't know if Thunderbird continues active development, but as your video demonstrates, it gets the job done. Easy as drag and drop ! Kudos!
Thanks Leo for the top content you produce, very helpful 🙏, and your perfect language pronunciation is really appreciated as non native English speakers 👍
I just watched your RU-vid video on moving Outlook emails to Thunderbird. Great information. I am canceling my Outlook 365 service and want to be able to retain emails and folders. How do I export the folders to Thunderbird? Also, if there are attachments on the email, will they be included when it transfers to Thunderbird?
Leo, I would like to move about 10,000 emails form Yahoo to Gmail. In copying them over, how do I apply the correct Gmail labels (like Inbox, Draft, et al)? Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I used the Portable version of Thunderbird with zero issues; however, I was wondering if I ever deleted that Portable version of Thunderbird altogether, would my email also be deleted?
Great video, Leo. I have a Yahoo and 2 Gmail accounts and Thunderbird might make things easier. I'm not a fan of Gmail's Labels - I like Folders, so maybe Thunderbird could also help there. That said, I understand that Thunderbird is really only a Desktop program at present, and they are adapting the K9 App to be Thunderbird on mobile devices.
Hi Leon. Thanks for your detailed videos. I would like to ask: As part of the policy of reducing the storage volume in Gmail and since my email volume in Gmail was over 17 GB - Google offered me to upgrade the storage, for a fee of course, otherwise the account will be frozen and it will not be possible to receive and send emails anymore. I used the idea of transferring emails from account to account using Thunderbird. I selected a folder in the old and full email that showed a volume of 3 GB and moved it to the new email. It took a while but it all worked out. Now the folder in the original email is empty and in the new email - full. The problem is that even though the folder I transferred is shown in the original email as empty - the overall volume of the email box - has not changed and no space has been freed up. Why is this and what are we doing, and the whole purpose of the transfer was to clear the place and reduce the volume of email.
1) Check the trash folder. Might well be taking up space there. 2) I've notes that "spaced used" calculations aren't always real-time. Check back later.
@@askleonotenboom Thank you for your response and attention. It wasn't in the trash, that's the first thing I checked. I am analyzing what I have done and it is possible that this is where the error lies. I entered the folder (which is actually a label) and transferred its contents to the other email. Indeed, I see the emails in the second email address and at the same time also see that the emails have disappeared from the first email. Therefore, I wondered why the space was not cleared in the first mile. However, in the meantime on second thought, I understand that in the transfer operation I transferred I only transferred the emails from the label and indeed the content of the label was empty but the emails remained and were not deleted from the first email. The contents of the label were deleted, but all those emails remained unlabeled and therefore continue to take their place. Does it make sense what I'm writing here that is the cause of the "failure" in my eyes. And thanks again for your investment.
I'm wanting to move my Outlook 365 emails and folders to a Gmail account. Everything went smoothly except that I don't see all of my Outlook folders though my Gmail labels show up great. Did I miss something and/or how do I correct? Thank you
Gmail doesn't have folders, only labels. How things get organized kinda depends on the steps you took to move the email. askleo.com/how-do-gmail-labels-relate-to-folders/
You lose all the "From:" information in the email program. Everything looks like it came FROM your old account. Yes,. the original info is still in the body, but you can no longer use it for search and/or sort in the destination (or it at least becomes more cumbersome).
