Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

After last 2 updates several emails were showing up as code. I think I have that stopped. But now 1 email combines with many with to & subject correct, but the from & preview is all the same email from Amazon from 2017.As time goes on, it takes over more emails. My phone email is fine, so this is strictly a Thunderbird issue again.I used sfc/scannow & it said it found problems & they were repaired. Now I see a few more emails look like this. I'm about ready to chuck Thunderbird & go back to Outlook. This has been going on for several weeks with the first issue, the combined emails just started today.

[SHIFT]+[DEL] works to permanently delete single messages, but when multiple emails are selected the emails just go to the trash as if I hadn't used [SHIFT]+[DEL].

I have not disabled the warning pop up which asks you to confirm that you really want to permanently delete the emails. I get this warning when there is only one message selected but not when multiple messages are selected.

When I look at the trash I see that the selected emails are there instead of being immediately deleted.

I am having this problem in Troubleshoot mode as well. This is in Linux on a Chromebook.

I have just done a clean install of the latest Thunderbird on Mac, and connected via IMAP to a pre-existing (although admittedly very large) mailbox.

My problem is that every single message apart from the ones received today shows a date that is wrong by nearly 600 years for both the Date and Received columns: e.g. from the year 1403 instead of the year 2024.

I am attaching two screenshots, the first shows a message received today that shows correctly (I am UTC+1, so 00:29 is correct). The second shows a message received an hour earlier where the date and received columns show 13/02/1403 at 23:30 instead of the correct value that appears in the Date header of the message of 02/05/2024 (all dates in DD/MM/YYYY because of my locale).

Does anybody know what is causing this? When I try connecting with other IMAP mail clients such as Outlook/Mac or K9/Andoid I do not see any problem with the displayed dates.
