What happened to the "Delete all marked junk" option in T-bird? After the latest update (140.1.1esr) this option for deleting all emails (in the current folder) that are marked as 'junk' seems to have gone away. At least, I am unable to locate it.

Why doesn't Thunderbird block spam and junk mail? It often tells me that "Thunderbird believes this message is Junk," and I right click "Mark" and tell Thunderbird the message is "Junk," but the sender is never blocked. How many times must I tell Thunderbird that a sender is spamming me?

Why is it so difficult to block a sender who is spamming me? With other email clients, just one marking of "Spam" is enough to block that sender?

How do I tell Thunderbird to block a spammer?

Hello: I send out newsletters to about 100 senior men golfers. I've been struggling with my messages going to spam or junk folders. My messages don't contain spam, but some mail servers are rejecting them. I've been working the problem (proper server authentication, DMARC, SPF, DKIM, etc.) but one of the suggestions I've read is to make sure there's an "list-unsubscribe" link in the email header. I've placed one in the body of the email at the bottom of the page (still fails), but how do I make a header in Thunderbird in which to place a link? Thanks for any help.

I was searching for an email that I had just deleted and discovered that the Trash folder connected to my inbox was empty. The one connected to my Local folders, however, was not. I cannot find a setting that would instruct Thunderbird on how long to save emails in the Trash folder and am sure I did not accidentally change anything. Any idea how to fix this?

I'm thinking that when I mark emails as junk, they immediately delete, but are all the junk emails suppose to keep coming back, but now only with that yellow junk banner. I was thinking that if I mark it as junk, they get deleted immediately and I don't have to keep going over them, and seeing them, but now with that Thunderbird thinks this is junk banner. But I already marked those as junk many times. Why do they keep coming back like that?

Thunderbird front end to a Yahoo email account. I've had it for years and everything else works fine.

About a month ago I found four messages in the Bulk folder that I'm unable to delete. When I click on the message, status bar info is that TB is "loading message", but nothing ever happens. When I attempt to delete a message, the status bar message is "Loading message", then "moving message to Trash" and the message is no longer shown in the folder, but then the message reappears with the message in the status bar something like "header is reloaded."

When I login to Yahoo directly, this folder does not exist.

How to remove these messages permanently?

This request to confirm a gmail account just began to pop up and appears to be spam. I cannot find its source.

Windows 11, up to date. Thunderbird, up to date.

1. I have never used this account with Thunderbird in the past and it is not an email used for communications. 2. Have only accessed this Gmail account via a web browser and am NOT logged into this google account. 3. The web address listed is not accessible. 4. The only object that links to anything is the Next button. 5. Have run a full Windows Defender scan - reports not threats or objects of concern.

Any direction on how to make it go away?

If it is a Google issue, any direction on where to look?

Any help is much appreciated. I am a long time user and supporter of Thunderbird and this is just annoying.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, Kevin in Annapolis Maryland, USA

Please forgive a very basic question. I think I know the answer but would appreciate having the correct one from the pros.

My wife and I each have Thunderbird installed on our computers. While we each have individual email addresses, we also have one email address we share, and we access it via Thunderbird.

If I'm marking certain messages as junk on my computer, will that designation only apply to my computer or, because of the common email address, will it mark those same messages as junk on my wife's computer?

Thanks for any help with this.

I have a message filter set up to block unwanted solicitations, which is now a few hundred items long. Is there a specific file where that filter is stored, so that I can review all senders whom I have blocked without scrolling through the "Filter Rules" dialog? Ideally, I would like to examine that file (not edit it) using a text editor.

Have a folder on my yahoo webmail account with >100K emails accumulated over time. The emails are of no lasting value

I just received a notification (via a banner on yahoo webmail when I log in) that my storage is full (never seen this before, but not surprised that Yahoo would be looking for "additional storage" revenue - not interested.)

I'm attempting to delete the emails in this (large) folder (which are of no lasting value), so far with no success.

The initial problem is that yahoo's functions to expunge (permanently remove) the emails (after moving them to their trash folder) does not work (either 0% progress overnight, or progressing 0-100% progress, in either case all of the emails remain in their trash folder and I continue to be notified (by the banner at sign-in) that email storage is full (and I do not wish to purchase any additional storage from yahoo.) As this is a non-premium yahoo account, no support exists.

It appears that yahoo webmail does not expose their trash folder via imap (it appears empty on imap view). Thunderbird "empty trash" on the hosted Trash folder shows no contents and completes immediately with "emptied trash".

I've now tried moving emails from yahoo's trash folder to another (new) folder on yahoo webmail, then using thunderbird imap to move those emails from yahoo to a local folder. My expectation was that "move" means gone from server, present on client. That appears not to be the case.

While this step does create a local copy, a copy appears to be left in yahoo's trash folder which still cannot be removed, so the core problem (of their impact on yahoo webmail storage) is unresolved.

I understand that "expunge" exists in IMAP but I don't see how this can be used with Thunderbird.

As I'm somewhat going in circles trying to solve this problem, I'm reaching out here for advice.

Thanks

I am getting too many spam emails now... 30-40-50 a day... it's ridicuous.. I have flagged them as junk, and when they come in from that address again it's marked junk but it's not good enough.. I must spend a combined time of 20 mins a day deleting junk emails now.

With hotmail it's very easy to simply 'block' email...

I can't find an easy way to do this on thunderbird??? Is there a way to easily block email address?? I think in this age now were people have Ai bots running in the background doing menial tasks this is only ging to get worse.... I need to put a stop to it now..

Is there a simple way to block email address?!

I've done everything I can think of to get Thunderbird to "learn" what is Junk or Not Junk. It does pretty well tagging spam as Junk. But it also tags legitimate email as Junk. I mark those as Not Junk. I add the addresses to my Address Book. But for the most part the errors continue.

It's an annoyance. I can, of course, just ignore the whole thing and click thruough the Junk folder. But I'd prefer not to. Any suggestions as to what else I can try?

Thank. you.
