| 1470439 | 2020-07-16 04:00:00 | Hi guys. I've been using Thunderbird 32 bit since my XP days. I discovered from the Mozilla site that they have a 64 bit site. Anyone tried this and if so, can you install over the top of the 32 bit & keep all the settings? :thanks |

Or back up your contacts etc (either via the profile or with Mozbackup which is easier if using Windows), then uninstall old one. Install new one and and run Mozbackup to restore contacts and emails. |

| 1470442 | 2020-07-16 04:26:00 | The following article even though its 2018 explains it all. scottiestech.info Keep in mind the warning in another article Second, that 64-bit versions of Thunderbird may perform worse than 32-bit versions under certain circumstances. Seen that happen with other programs, the 32 bit works fine, upgrade to 64 bit and all hell breaks lose. biggest thing - BACKUP the files FIRST ;) |
