Hello MagicMax - what is the status today Feb. 2025 - I also have a connection contract with axians/swisscom - get no information - am now surprised that I read the following on the community page ?

Werner Thanks Wrener - the Teleboy subscription has clear advantages for me - switch on the power strip and enjoy TV after 3 - 4 seconds!

GuidoL / Thanks for the prompt reply - my TV box is already set to “sleep mode” - but I don’t want to have any power consumers in my house made of wood and switch everything off with the power strip when I’m away. Once again: well over 1 million TV boxes have to be switched on 24 hours a day, I can’t accept that at the moment and just for comparison: with Teleboy: switch on the power strip and in 3 - 4 seconds the TV reception is on.

I would like to point out that I live in an old wooden house and always switch on all power consumers via a power strip for fire safety reasons, but also for sustainability reasons. Since the recent switch to Android + Google, the start-up time has taken 2-3 times longer, namely a measured 81 seconds. I have just been at my youngest son’s house for 2 weeks and the start-up time with the Teleboy TV provider takes 3 - 4 seconds. How is it possible that a highly paid and therefore responsible SWISSCOM management for TV products overlooks such a disadvantage for us subscribers or perhaps does not even understand the consequences of the Android + Google decision? I am very curious about the community’s experiences in this regard. Side note: with well over 1 million TV boxes, leaving all TV boxes permanently energised is probably not exactly CO2-neutral either!

WalterB - but there is an export function in the TB addressbook menu 🇦

Hello everyone - have been working with the latest version of Thunderbird for 24 years, currently 128.5.2esr

Questions:

a) can’t find any mail distribution lists in the current bluewin mail basic which is still valid until 25.12.2024 ?

b) in which format should I transfer the address book from TB to bluewin light, do I lose some addresses with all my efforts (e.g. vCard) ?

Since the new Bluewin WEB mail system became active this week, no more e-mails have been coming into the inbox - sending works and all inboxes are also available on the Swisscom WEB mail system - Swisscom Business Support says “only an IT specialist with knowledge of Thunderbird can find the solution”.

That was the perfect answer summarized in short words WalterB - I’m happy to have received this support in such a short time - thank you very much and greetings from Graubünden

The second main account is labeled ***@bluewin.ch(2) - emails come in on both accounts - can I simply delete one of the two accounts without losing everything on the other account - who knows ?

The WEB-Mail from bluewin is now finally running - now Swisscom is blocking access with the statement that the identity proof of my 94 neighbor has expired - unfortunately (according to Swisscom support) the automatic upload from the ID card and that works Selfie with the robot is not “always” - sending the documents by email is not possible at all, the federal government has strict regulations - Swisscom wants my neighbor to go to the Swisscom shop with my neighbor who is not very mobile - and by the way Is it recommended for people over 90 to hand over their emails to relatives?

Thanks for the feedback:

Please show a screenshot of it (make personal data unrecognizable) not possible in the short term

Is the mail account set up as POP3 or as IMAP? IMAP

How ​​exactly did you move the Thunderbird profile to the new PC?

Copied over the entire Thunderbird folder from the Roaming folder

As part of a neighborhood help, I upgraded an elderly Thunderbird to a new Windows 11 - everything would be there again and working if a second inbox folder with the same name but with a mark (2) and an orange star had not been created. Now all emails arrive in both inboxes at the same time - I have been using Thunderbird for 24 years and have changed hardware and operating systems without any problems - does anyone know how to remove a duplicate inbox folder without losing everything?

Thanks @Wejoyauss13

With the latest LibreOffice I can even read my old WordPerfect files again.

Unfortunately, no useful solution has been received from the community for elderly seniors - I therefore plan the following solution for my senior neighbor - “freeze” Win 10 PC with Outlook 2007, so that all previous mail folders are still easy to read - instructions and conversion to Bluewin WEB-Mail - I have been using the Thunderbird mail system for 24 years and still have all my important emails available

I have Win 10!

Bluewin didn’t tell my 94-year-old neighbor that they had switched to a new system - and sending again was possible, only receiving has been dead for 8 days - if bluewin fires the old Outlook 2007 users then it’s end of life for them PC. Swisscom support didn’t want/couldn’t help with the old Outlook version.

Addendum: Outlook 2007 is used by a 94-year-old senior who no longer wants to use a new mail system in the rest of his life - I support him as part of a neighborhood help and Swisscom support couldn’t help today because the Windows 10 PC is no longer working either is sufficiently powerful - if the Bluewin administration wants to get rid of older Outlook versions, then it is probably "End of Life* for the PC.

Outlook 2007 - after a few minutes an error message appears that IMAP can no longer log on to bluewin’s mail server and Outlook is now offline
