I accidentally moved a Google calendar notification to the spam folder 1 time and now I can't get TB to stop putting them in there. I reset the training data and created a message filter to catch them but they still automatically go into my spam folder. How do I get these messages to go to my inbox instead of spam?

How the [edited] do I turn automatic spam filtering off? I've literally unchecked EVERYTHING related to junk or spam, but it's still marking every [edited] email that I get as spam. Even addresses in my address book!

I keep getting 30 to 40 messages in my junk folder every day that are not junk or spam. I keep moving them to my inbox folder but many of the same messages keep going to the junk folder.

I recently upgraded to TB 128.14 Oesr (64, Win 10). I’m a bit conservative about upgrading anything – as upgrades often waste a lot of time – if not risk justified.

Basically, If it’s workin’ well enough (cost vs benefit) …… well … “don’t fix it” – even though … “if it ain’t broke, doesn’t mean it isn’t sub-optimal”. Here, it seemed worth the risk.

My prior TB version – nope, I don’t remember which it was (is that in a log?) incorrectly identified bookoo normal e-messages as “junk” (junk filter deactivated) wasting a LOT of my time to move them back to the “indox”.

It also – CORRECTLY ID’ed – a big lot of data sucking spam as “junk” (junk filter still deactivated) for my PUBLIC e-address (expected spam magnet) – alerting me of the quantity of (expected) spam I was actually getting (my free Omaha steaks are on the way).

After upgrading (to TB 128.14) I don’t get any, well much of that spam any more (got a couple today) – hurrah (maybe)!! I don’t see it any more. It is gone completely (mostly, ostensibly) and the problem is – I do want to SEE it – all of it – in a “spam folder / directory” nd not in trash– wherever it is – to make sure it is NOT mis-ID’ed as spam – when actually an important message maybe telling me I’ve won the FIFA email prize!

So … “the game is a’foot! Holmes! How can I track down that missing spam – to see ALL of it – to verify it’s identity?

I suspect my hosting company – Hostinger – may be involved – as I did verify, previously, with my previous TB version – that they COULD see into my TB account structure. Can’t find it now, but previous did see MY TB account named “Aviation”. They, Hostinger, said THEY aren’t “moving” anything anywhere – not into “Junk”, anyway. Are they lying (as popular as that has become recently)?

I’m not smart enough to understand DKIM (though I could get that way) just want to see ALL email sent to ALL my e-addresses that didn’t get there – wherever it is (not immediately, I would hope)!

Merci,

Hi. Somehow, in Thunderbird Mail, I moved the "Bulk" folder into the "Trash" folder and now I can't reverse that. Some of my mail is going to the "Bulk" folder and I'm forgetting to check that, thus missing emails. Is there a way to move that "Bulk" folder back where it belongs? thanks in advance

Hallo, ich benutze Thunder in der neuesten Version unter Win11 und verwalte 3 Mailadressen darunter. Nun ist mir aufgefallen das auf einmal 2 Spamordner pro Mailadresse angelegt sind aber nur ein Ordner benutzt wird. Wie kann ich die unbenutzten Spamordner löschen ??? Mailadressen als IMAP angelegt 2 Mailadressen unter Seuresmtp.t-online.de 1 Mailadresse unter Web.de Freemail-smtp.de mit Googleübersetzer

Hello, I'm using the latest version of Thunderbird on Windows 11 and manage three email addresses with it. I've noticed that two spam folders have suddenly been created for each email address, but only one folder is being used. How can I delete the unused spam folders?

Email addresses set up as IMAP

Two email addresses are with Seuresmtp.t-online.de One email address is with Web.de Freemail-smtp.de

I'm pretty sure the scammer doesn't have my e-mail password. But how can they do this? The e-mail looked very real; it was from me and to me. The e-mail itself accused me of something, demanded a payment, and threatened to flood my e-mail with more scam messages if I didn't pay up.

Settings have been set to move Spam to my spam folder. Although Spam is identified it does not get moved to my Spam folder. It used to happen but an upgrade a while back seemed to stop it happening. I have tried undoing and re-doing settings to no avail. Can someone help please?

A couple of suggestions.

1) After opening an email marked as spam (by Thunderbird's spam filter), there is no option to confirm that this is, indeed spam. The email can be marked as "Not spam," but not confirmed to be spam. Unless I'm missing something, I have to go back to the inbox, mark it as spam manually, and then it is automatically sent to the spam box.

2) Assuming I understand the spam filtering correctly, once Thunderbird marks emails as spam, they remain in the inbox for at least 1 day (or longer if desired). I would like to have those emails sent IMMEDIATELY to the spam box, where I can still examine them to make sure they're spam before deleting them.

That way, the inbox will have only emails that either are not spam at all and those that haven't been marked as such.

As the system now works -- unless I'm misusing it somehow -- once the filter marks emails as spam, I still have to wade through them to sort out the good ones. In my view, that pretty much defeats the purpose of having the filter in the first place. I still have to "mark" them as spam again to get them sent to the spam box.

Perhaps I should note that this inbox gets dozens of spam emails every day and that I check it multiple times per day.

All of a sudden, two email accounts that I use on Thunderbird is placing all incoming emails directly into the "Trash Folder" Other email email accounts on Thunderbird work as they should. Never changed anything and I can still send out emails from these 2 accounts that are placing everything coming into trash folder.

I recently noticed that my Thunderbird has two identical Spam folders. I deleted Thunderbird from my computer and reinstalled it but the two Spam folders are still there. When I right click either one there is no Delete option.

I've noticed a problem in which I delete emails in the Trash folder using the Empty Trash command. The folder appears empty for a while, then when I go back later to delete any new files from the Trash folder, many of the emails I've already deleted are present again. Suggestions on how to completely delete emails in the Trash folder would be appreciated.

I am being barraged by email spam by the hundreds all day and all night I have placed almost 100 filters that put the spam in the trash, but since many of my contacts wind up in the trash folder as well, i need to look through it all to verify spam, not something important.

Is there any way to keep these unwanted emails from loading?

Today, a number of my emails in the inbox were marked as suspected "spam" or "junk." These were from usual senders. What's up? Also, several items in my inbox have vanished,
