Stop erasing my local copy of emails when syncing IMAP because remote mail-host told you "oh there are no emails" and you trusted it! Ask me first please please

Hi people of thunderbird,
Because of glitches at remote mail-host (the double-o security swiss cheese calling themselves email provider) sometimes remote mail-host tells Thunderbird that I have an empty IMAP folder and Thunderbird ever so gullibly trusts what the incompetent mail-host tells it and duly starts erasing all thousands of emails I have saved on local disk.
WITHOUT A SINGLE CONFIRMATION!
Compare this behaviour with the irritating and blindingly idiotic confirmations Thunderbird asks. For example:
'I have detected you mentioned the word attachment in your email body, do you want to attach something?"
or
"Message with no subject!!!! are you sure????"
etc.
Well Mr Thunderbird, if you are going to make such a drastic and irreversible change to my local folders as erasing them for ever please ask me a simple confirmation first?!? please please please?
I suggest thunderbird asks a confirmation when the syncing remote/local IMAP folder has a difference of more than 4 emails.
If user says "oh no don't do it", then thunderbird disconnects IMAP and tells user that syncing would have been dangerous.
I do keep local backups but every time this happens I do loose some emails.

I am using the Windows version of Thunderbird, and while using on my work desktop, TB freezes for 10-30 seconds when sending or receiving emails. I connect to an IMAP server for receiving email. How can I enable any kind of debugging logs/etc so I can begin to look into this?
The same setup on my laptop from home doesn't exhibit the same types of delays, talking to the same servers.
Thanks.

I don't use Chrome and don't know why this is interfering with opening the program. I have been clicking on 'stop script' twice to enable the program to run properly. How do I correct this?
Many thanks.

I've now created a 3rd alternative account using a different emai address and provider in the hope that this will allow me access to the support community. Both the other email addresses have been in use without difficulty for several years, but although they seem to allow me to create accounts, when I try to log in I'm rejected. They are: david@wright47.me.uk dmw@geminisound.co.uk

Was using Thunderbird for our e-mail. In June 2017, a Win10 update started to cause some computer system instability problems, such that log-in was impossibe, but a re-install was recommended. So, I did the reinstall and of course many of the programs on the computer were removed, including Mozilla programs. I got Thunderbird back, but I don't have any of the archived mail folders (i.e., local folders), and the address book is gone. I can't find a back-up location that may have that stuff saved. Am I out of luck, or is there a path to recover these connections. Thx!

I'm trying to use Thunderbird to get Youtube subscriptions, but it's currently unusable because the "Date" column uses the 'updated' tag from the feeds instead of the 'published' tag, which is likely what people actually want.

On new computer, wanted to change account from IMAP to POP3. Created account but now I cannot get into server settings (An account already exists.......) and emails download to two different folders. Can I safely remove either IMAP or POP3 or uninstall Thunderbird without losing emails. Still have emails on old computer and don't want to remove until it is correctly set up and working properly on new computer. Thanks in advance.

On Saturday afternoon, I suddenly stopped receiving any emails. I tested on another system and the email I sent did not arrive to me. I still continue to be able to send emails, so this is not the problem. Somehow the settings of the server must have been changed by an update or by something the administrator did. At the moment, I am using my web email account Please advise

TB just ate a bunch of my files after I attempted to archive them. They appear to have vaporized. Here's what I did:
1. My Archive options are set to 'Yearly archived folders', and 'Keep existing folder structure of archived messages' is checked (enabled). 2. The files were located in a folder under 'Local Folders', having originated from 1 or more different accounts. 3. I selected all the individual messages in the folder to archive, and hit 'A'. 4. TB appeared to be moving them - status bar counted down the files as they were being moved, and they disappeared from their source folder. 5. In the Folders pane, a folder appears with the name of the source folder, under the appropriate year - and it indicates a message count and folder size that matches the files that were just moved. 6. In the Messages pane - nada. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Empty. 7. Back in the original source folder, ditto.
So the messages appear to be there - somewhere - but no apparent way to access them.
Any assistance appreciated!
