Trying to start using new laptop HP Omnibook 7 14". All going well, but small differences are a problem. I think I had it all yesterday, but today when I read emails and put them in "trash" I could not find the empty trash icon, not in the trash icon nor in the menu above.

My friend Ken has been using Thunderbird successfully for a long time. in the last 2 weeks, yahoo popups have shown up that prevent Thunderbird email usage. How do we get rid of them?

I find TB spam filtering pretty weak. As one example, the same spam email can come in multiple times, be marked as spam each time, yet never be caught by TB. I'm running behind - currently using release 115.18.0 - I have had no reason to upgrade until now. My question: If I update is spam filtering improved?? thx,

Dozens of emails per day from a domain with firebaseapp.com in the domain. I cannot seem to get them to go to junk or preferably block them.

Hello,

I have defined about 45 simple filters to get rid of spam. They are all based on keywords found in subject or sender.

All of them are enabled and set this way :

Apply filter when : _ Manually Run X Getting New Mail ( Filter before Junk Classification ) _ Archiving _ After sending _ Periodically, every 10 minutes.

Perform these actions : 1. Set Junk Status to : Junk 2. Move Message to : "super-junk" folder 3. Mark As Read

See example in attached image.

PROBLEM : They do not run automatically when new emails are received. But if I run each of them manually, they work.

QUESTION : What is wrong ?

Thanks !

I am using Protonmail with Thunderbird. In my Protonmail web account there is nothing in ANY folder but the very few I am currently keeping, including All Mail. The same folders and messages are represented in Thunderbird folders. However, in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\wiu0xbpg.default-release\ImapMail\127.0.0.1, the All Mail folder contains all previous messages, including deleted messages, are still present. When I delete a message, I want it deleted. As can be seen in the attached image, All Mail is very large whereas all other folders are very small. 1. How can this be cleaned up? 2. How can this be prevented in the future? Thanks for any direction in this matter.

I had a similar problem. The Spam settings were being picked up by my ISP from my mobile. When I looked at the Spam on my mobile, I could mark each individual email as "Not Spam". When I did this, the email appeared in the Inbox not only of my mobile but of my laptop too. A new test email went straight into Inbox of both devices and not into Spam of either.

I hope this helps.

I have a valid correspondent email address, that no matter what I do it keeps sending his email to spam.This started about two months ago, up till then there was no problem. (A) where do you hide the list of email addresses that are being considered as spam? (B) if his email address is not there, what else can I do to fix this annoyance. Asking him to change his email address is not an option.

Normally, I can right click and tell Thunderbird that this is NOT junk, however, when I do this, these emails go back into the inbox and virtually instantly return to junk.

This is from anyone's email address that arrives from one particular website: @legacydigitalagency.com

I haven't come across this issue since I started using Thunderbird 20+ years ago.

As stated above, received msg from me to me -- a common practice I hear. If I change my password, will that fix this? I tried to log in to Outlook on line to change password but I use a passkey - doesn't let me do a password entry. Help..... Thanks.

I was cleaning up my wife's email when I noticed there are a lot of messages unread and in the trash folder that ought not to be. I am wondering how to fix that for her. Example: some amazon.com emails about orders, or emails from favorite merchants or websites.

POP3 account. Trash contains folders that, mostly, I have no idea where they came from, and nothing I do will delete them. More than 30 folders at current count, all empty.

Anyone have any insight? Thanks. Brett

good day....ii hope someone can help. the other day i was accessing my yahoo account spam folder and by accident, i deleted the spam folder instead of emptying it. the spam folder is now sitting in the trash and i'm unable to remove it from there. when i log into my actual yahoo account, the spam folder is where it's supposed to be and not in the trash. i tried removing the yahoo account from thunderbird and reinstalling it in hopes that it would rectify the problem, but it hasn't. does anyone have a solution?? i would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. thank you for your time...mike s

Thunderbird 143.0.1 eclipse.

Quite recently I noticed that, in the list of folders, I see 2 "Junk" folders.

On looking at the properties for 1 Junk folder the location is shown as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Junk",

but properties for the other shown as Junk locates as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Spam".

I've tried renaming that folder in Thunderbird to Spam but the change doesn't take effect.

What went wrong, and more importantly how can I rename it to see it as "Spam"?

tnx.

Is there a spam file for thunderbird? I haven’t been able to find one. Xfinity has a spam box on my site. I had mail sent to me and could not find them on thunderbird or Mac mail but I Katerina found them in the xfinity spam folder..

Emails I've approved of and added to the address book are still showing up in the spam folder; to include marking them not spam or running the Spam Controls. Is there another way for this annoying behavior to stop?

Walmart has abandoned passwords as 2nd id check. now they send email. I've requested re-send about 8 times. Still not appearing in my mail. How can i find if T=bird is filtering out ? Once I think I saw a notice show up for about 1/2 second and then it was gone.

But sometimes it goes very easy the same mail? How does it come? Same mail will pass and same mail will not pass sometimes?? thank you Nikola Guslov
