As stated in the question, messages older than 1000 days are not deleted (this is a POP server). This is on my Desktop which is my primary PC. I also have a laptop using Thunderbird with "Leave messages on server" but with neither option (Number of days or Until I delete them) checked. The purpose of the laptop settings is that since it is not my primary PC I don't want it to delete anything from the server.

I did quite a few searches and the closest thing I found was another user who had migrated to Thunderbird after using another mail client for years, and it sounded like after they installed Thunderbird, they imported their old emails from the old client and then began using Thunderbird. The explanation they got was that any emails that had not been downloaded from the server by Thunderbird would not have a download date in Thunderbird and would therefore not be subject to the "older than xxx days" setting. That scenario doesn't apply to me because I have been using Thunderbird exclusively for at least 5 years, so all emails on the server that are less than ~1825 days (5 x 365) were downloaded by Thunderbird. All emails older than 5 years have long since been deleted from the server manually.

Either I am misunderstanding the "For at most xxx days" setting or something is not working properly.

I downloaded the new update this morning and I cannot separate my categories any longer on my home page. I keep them in categories on the 4 separate rows and then separate them by skipping a square. I cannot do that any longer and do not like the jumble of the homepage now. How can I keep the blank spaces that are located at the bottom of the rows to separate my categories?

How do I turn off those annoying "update available" notifications/reminders that keep popping up? I've gone into Settings, and in the Updates section firefox only let's me select auto updates or check for updates. I searched online but couldn't seem to find anything about how to disable the notifications all together with the newer version of FF. It's driving me crazy, thinking of switching browsers because of this. Thanks in advance!

Hello All,

I have recently installed Thunderbird email client which populated on its own and before I was asked for an address or Password! This may be by design which is not an issue as such. However, I noticed that none of my Laptop, WIN 10, Windows Live Mail subfolders were present.

I had imaged at some point I would have to import all my Folders and the emails from Window Live Mail using the importexporttools-3.3.2 program. I have also been made aware that sometimes the process would not be without errors. Nevertheless I forged ahead.

Unfortunately I have discovered there are odd emails missing. It seems I have two options to try and recover the missing contents. 1) To delete Thunderbird client altogether and fresh install, plus to import folders and emails again. Or 2) To repeat the import procedure by over writing, which will hopefully add the missing emails!

However, I have two questions, if I am able to over write. 1) Is it possible to repeat the import again? 2) Will the result be I end up with hundreds of duplicate emails as well as those missing emails?

Perhaps someone has experience of the outcome.

Thank you in advance.
