Need more control over adaptive Junk handling

I appreciate that Thunderbird has client-side adaptive Junk filtering. I believe the target audience for this is primarily those who don't filter their own mail. Unfortunately for those of us who do filter our mail, this feature takes priority over other filtering.

Specifically, I'm using Sieve (IMAP/Dovecot) on the server to control filtering, but as soon as mail hits the Thunderbird client it's re-processed. I don't mind if my filters ultimately don't filter some mail item, where it ends-up in the Inbox. Then Thunderbird adaptive filtering may help "adaptively" to flag something that gets through.

Can we do something in Thunderbird to only allow adaptive processing on the top-level Inbox?

As an admin I have just created scripts that will forward mail to me when another user manually moves mail to Junk. This email is dropped into a specific folder under my Inbox so that I can process it with new rules, bans, or even to let the user know that they should simply unsubscribe from that specific list. But most of it is indeed Junk. I don't need adaptive processing to identify it as such, and I don't want my email account profile to adapt to someone else's Junk.

I can set a header for Thunderbird if it would only use that as a "do not use adaptive filtering on this item".

Is there a developer API into this process? Anything else to hook into it to get more control over it?

OR, do I and every other user that uses this server need to turn off Thunderbird adaptive filtering? :(

Thanks.

I am trying to use a new HP Spectre laptop which will be my all purpose home computer. I selected Firefox Browser as the default browser but I don't believe it has ever come up as my browser. It is loaded among many other apps (?). I used to call them programs (?). I get Edge, Chrome, Bing, and others, none of which I want or ask for. They just seem to appear randomly.

Thunderbird usually performs very well for me. Although sometimes a new email is received showing a weird timestamp that is obviously incorrect. As an example, right now the time of day at my location is 1:18 EST. So far, my received emails today have times ranging from 5:03 am to 1:16 pm. Except for one. It shows today's date but 5:31 pm. A time in the future. If I look at that same email on my iPhone, it displays a more acceptable time of 9:19 am.

This started occurring about 2 months ago and happens about once a week. All from spam. So this is no big deal but I'm curious why. Does anyone have an explanation? Thanks, Reeka

Hi, Please bear with me, I understand very little! In 2012 the business I work for was taken over by a new boss. The previous one set me up with a new email address which he set to be used with my gmail account.

My new boss wants to move clients but my email account is not included in the addresses she wants to move. Her email addresses are showing up on Eclipse. My email address/account isn't there. The previous boss was using Thunderbird. Is my email account there? Or does it need added to Eclipse?

I have no idea how to access or log in to Thunderbird to see if my address is there?

How do I find out who is hosting my email account?

I have no idea if I have explained this properly. I access my work email through my personal gmail (POP, IMAP???) but have no idea where it really "lives"!

I use Kaspersky for my internet security. I choose the 'Safe Money' option for many other sites...but cannot connect sign on with my bank. Because the page always comes up asking for me to choose a browser. I down load and update the firefox site. This does nothing except giving me multiple firefox updates! What is happening and how can I stop having this issue pop up? The other sites on 'Safe Money' are not banking sites, but still need security. Do I have to change browsers? I can be reached at [email removed from public]

Thank you for any help in this matter

I went into setting and Firefox is not on the list of defaults. I think the issue is that I downloaded Firefox through the website and not the MS app store. Because when I open the "Look for the app in Microsoft Store" tab on the default list, it opens the store and lets me download Firefox again. I wouldn't mind doing this but it downloads it to my C drive and I need it on my F drive because my C drive is my SSD and is used for only Windows and because Windows keep getting bigger and bigger, I am running out of storage on it. When I try to move the newly downloaded Firefox to my F drove through the "Apps & Features" menu where you can uninstall apps. It tells me Firefox can't be moved. So there seems to be a communication error between windows and the none app store download.

The pics show the default option first with Firefox downloaded from the web not being there (setting 1), then Firefox being there (setting 3), and last the failure to move the files to the F drive (setting 2). Any help would be great. Thanks.

Q: How can I find messages in TB that contain invitations to events? I'd like search quite many mails to find invitations that contain (at best all, or at least unprocessed) events. Preferrably with no etra software besides TB and possibly add-ons.

TB version: 91.8.1

What I have tried so far: (a) edit / find... / search messages: I see no way to achieve this (b) addon "Filter Messages": same as above (c) suggested addon "Filtaquilla": seems to provide actions with found messaes, but not enhance search. (d) inspected plain message source: invitations seem to contain multiple entries for "Content-Type", the last of which is "Content-Type: text/calendar". However, this line does not seem to be part of any searchablefields in (a-c).

Thanks in advance!

I found and archived thread with this Subject-title. First the answer was directing the user to de guide about 'Server settings'. Of course I have been there. I have set up Thunderbird with POP3 accounts en did NOT check the 'Leave mail on the server'-setting as it is by default. This way - if I'm not mistaken - the mail is deleted after download. But all the mail is kept on the server en is not deleted. I've worked with Pegasus too and at that time all (POP3-) mail was deleted after downloading. So I presume the server-side of my provider is set ok. So what do I have to do in Thunderbird to automatically delete downloaded mail? I don't think this has anything to do with the version of (automatically updated) Thunderbird, but I work with v91.8.1 (64-bit) Thanks for any help or suggestion.

Suddenly .... Folders show that they contain messages but the message list window is empty. If I '"repair folder", the list of messages is restored. But i have to go through that painful process for each folder, and i have many accounts and folders. And if Tbird is closed and reopened, the problem still exists - even 'repaired' folders do not display their messages.
