When I moved to a new computer, there were almost a thousand messages in my Inbox. Because of this (I think), the program will not remove messages from the Inbox when I copy them to a Local Folder. So I now have over 1100 messages in the Inbox. And it will not allow me to delete messages from the Inbox. In addition, it does not keep these messages marked "As read". What can I do to clean out this Inbox? Denis

Hi Denis. I don't think that I can help much, but I can start the process for other people.

How did you move Thunderbird to a new computer? Did you follow the process described here? -- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer
