For the third time now I have found messages I have saved in Local folders in TRASH. I did not put them there, and the original ones in Local Folders are empty. I have had to manually move messages intended to be saved from Trash into my intended folders. I am perplexed why this is happening, as I have not chosen Compact Folders or anything. Very, very annoying. If it continues I will search for another mail tool

Why is this folder SO LARGE !!! C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\6v2ccsvd.default-release\ImapMail

On my PC, it is over 3.5GB !

How can I minimize it !

My wife’s Thunderbird has had problems for several weeks. To repair them, I have disconnected from our e-mail provider (Proton.me), & reconnected to it. Everything seems to be fine but her Thunderbird Inbox. There are no emails in it, but it insists there are two (2). I have tried to compact the folder & to repair the folder, but these actions have no effect. How do I get her inbox clear of this problem, so I can focus on her bigger problem?

I recently downloaded Thunderbird. Due to comcast transfer of email to yahoo, I now have a yahoo account with a comcast email address. Using the export.mail.imap.yahoo.com incoming server, I was able to get all my mail into Thunderbird. At some point, I was asked to compact my folders. I replied yes. After that there were only 2000 messages in my inbox. To recover, I had to change my settings for my email address to an incorrect one and then back to the correct address. That started the rather lengthy import process again. My inbox is 3GB. What went wrong and how do I avoid this from happening again?

Hi

I work in a small traditional community fishmonger shop in Scotland and we use Mozilla. I am trying to find a basic instruction manual i could print out handy for us (we are a small team and only i have experience in Microsoft emails etc but this is different ) and i am just trying to help us understand some basics priority being for email, contacts and folder daily management.

We receive a mix of online orders, customers, suppliers and much “junk” noise emails so i’m trying to help us figure out simple and easy to set things moving forward after some staff changes that impacted our “flow”😊

Any tips would be much appreciated 🙏 Thankyou Danna

For some reason after the last update I have been getting multiple inbox.conf(*) folders getting created (see image). I have not found a way to remove these folders. Is this a bug or a setting issue?

I just installed Thunderbird on a new Win 11 Pro 64-bit install. I have some Message filters that seem to be working. However, I have a local folder a_Name and under that I have sub folders Problems, jokes, plus some more. At first, I tried to drag messages to them, and they disappeared. Then I tried to use the file move command still disappeared, then I tried to use the copy command. That worked until I tried to move a message to the folder, and everything disappeared. I have now lost some irreplaceable emails. I have used Thunderbird for years. What gives with this, and how can I fix it?

I have read what is posted on adding a folder in Thunderbird.

The problem I am experiencing is that when I select the main account and add a folder it keeps placing the folder as a sub folder of the in box not a folder or sub-folder of itself.

I am perplexed.

Thank you for your help!

When creating a new email in Thunderbird, the batch replace operation using [Ctrl]+[H] used to show the replacements in the editing window. Now, they don't appear unless I close the [Find and Replace] dialog. Even when I want to check the replacements, they don't show until I close the dialog. This seems like a bug. Is there anything I can do?
