What are storage.sdb Error Messages?


General storage.sdb Runtime Errors

storage.sdb file errors often occur during the startup phase of Mozilla Thunderbird, but can also occur while the program is running. These types SDB errors are also known as “runtime errors” because they occur while Mozilla Thunderbird is running. Here are some of the most common storage.sdb runtime errors:

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\huaunoht.default-release\storage.sdb

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.


Most SDB errors are due to missing or corrupt files. Your storage.sdb file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Mozilla Thunderbird), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, storage.sdb file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Mozilla Thunderbird, system crash while loading or saving storage.sdb, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or malware infection. Thus, it’s critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.



How to Fix storage.sdb Errors in 3 Steps (Time to complete: ~5-15 minutes)

If you're encountering one of the error messages above, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve your storage.sdb issue. These troubleshooting steps are listed in the recommended order of execution.


Step 1: Restore your PC back to the latest restore point, "snapshot", or backup image before error occurred.

To begin System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. When you see the search box, type "System Restore" and press "ENTER".

  4. Please enter the administrator password (if applicable / prompted).
  5. Follow the steps in the System Restore Wizard to choose a relevant restore point.
  6. Restore your computer to that backup image.

If the Step 1 fails to resolve the storage.sdb error, please proceed to the Step 2 below.

Step 2: If recently installed Mozilla Thunderbird (or related software), uninstall then try reinstalling Mozilla Thunderbird software.

You can uninstall Mozilla Thunderbird software by following these instructions (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):

  1. Hit the Windows Start button

Step 3: Perform a Windows Update.

When the first two steps haven't solved your issue, it might be a good idea to run Windows Update. Many storage.sdb error messages that are encountered can be contributed to an outdated Windows Operating System. To run Windows Update, please follow these easy steps:

  1. Hit the Windows Start button
  2. In the search box, type "Update" and press "ENTER".
  3. In the Windows Update dialog box, click "Check for Updates" (or similar button depending on your Windows version)
  4. If updates are available for download, click "Install Updates".
  5. After the update is completed, restart your PC.

If Windows Update failed to resolve the storage.sdb error message, please proceed to next step. Please note that this final step is recommended for advanced PC users only.



If Those Steps Fail: Download and Replace Your storage.sdb File (Caution: Advanced)

If none of the previous three troubleshooting steps have resolved your issue, you can try a more aggressive approach (Note: Not recommended for amateur PC users) by downloading and replacing your appropriate storage.sdb file version. We maintain a comprehensive database of 100% malware-free storage.sdb files for every applicable version of Mozilla Thunderbird. Please follow the steps below to download and properly replace you file:

  1. Locate your Windows operating system version in the list of below "Download storage.sdb Files".
  2. Click the appropriate "Download Now" button and download your Windows file version.
  3. Copy this file to the appropriate Mozilla Thunderbird folder location:
    Windows 10: C:\Users\Tester\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\huaunoht.default-release\
  4. Restart your computer.

If this final step has failed and you're still encountering the error, you're only remaining option is to do a clean installation of Windows 10.


GEEK TIP : We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve storage.sdb problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately.



Download storage.sdb Files (Malware-Tested 100% Clean)


CAUTION : We strongly advise against downloading and copying storage.sdb to your appropriate Windows system directory. Mozilla typically does not release Mozilla Thunderbird SDB files for download because they are bundled together inside of a software installer. The installer's task is to ensure that all correct verifications have been made before installing and placing storage.sdb and all other SDB files for Mozilla Thunderbird. An incorrectly installed SDB file may create system instability and could cause your program or operating system to stop functioning altogether. Proceed with caution.
