#THUNDERBIRD OPEN SQLITE FILE UPDATE#

The following is provided with absolutely no warranty. So apparently that isn't the right file (or, at least it's not the right file in isolation). The only result of that I could see was that on next launch I had a file in my directory, and a new logins.json file with the old server name in it.

I've tried a global search-and-replace of the old server ID to the new one in the logins.json file while the application wasn't running. Is there any other way to 'hack' the files (e.g., with sed) to change the mail server (smtp and pop3|imap, accordingly) and then only have Thunderbird query for all my passwords on next open? I know that Thunderbird has a CLI, but I've not been able to find any documentation for setting mail servers that way. That turns a slow, tedious process of 'click, click, triple-click, paste, repeat' into a ridiculously slow, tedious process of 'click, click, triple-click, paste, click, click, wait for the application to close, wait for the application to open, paste in the correct password for the changed account, repeat.' This is especially inconvenient because when you change the mail server for an account, Thunderbird requires you to immediately close and reopen the application to save the change.

I use Thunderbird (in Ubuntu) as my mail client, and it works really well for this.īut now I need to go through 'too many' email accounts in Thunderbird to update the mail server to my new host. I have, uh, let's go with 'too many' email addresses defined in my domain.

So, I'm switching to a different web host. I have been using a web host for more than a decade, but their service keeps getting worse and their prices keep getting higher.
