most of my emails are going directly to trash. also, some emails in trash that I delete will end up back in trash. I know, its kind of crazy.

Most of my emails are going to trash, once in a while I may get one in my inbox, not very often. I now just go to trash for my emails, I am not very tech good but have tried and my son also tried, but we couldn't fix it, we probably may it worse. So I am coping by using trash as my inbox. I know this is not a permanent solution and would very much like to know what I did wrong and get it fixed so I won;t screw it up again. Thank you for your time.

Hello there We have read the message We try to help

If you use filters and add-ons. try disabling this.

Even better if you try to start the thunderbird software in trouble shoot mode.

check whether you can use these actions again in the inbox?

There are also other ways to solve this that I will get to in a moment. ​ Can you try to start up in trouble shoot modus ?

Will you then check whether there is a possibility to see how you can now use these subjects normally?

Hello there

If the filters are enabled to send them directly to the trash and there is an important moment to read them, you can.

The subject you are writing about is clear.

This email will remain in the bin for a considerable period of time, just like you are using it now. Nothing is broken.

And it is then used to only read these emails in this bin.

And don't just read it in the inbox.

If the filters are removed from this one, it will cancel itself out.

Why the messages in the trashcan returns. It might be a bug.

Hello there


you can also have the synchronization of a backup from google turned on. Disable this if you want to delete messages directly from your Thunderbird software.

Whether this has any effect if your messages are deleted within the trash bin and return remains to be determined.

hopefully to have informed you more about your topic.
