Dropdown menu changed to "Translate selection to French. Has always been "Translate selection to English". I use it all the time. I don't think I changed anything. How can I set it back to English? Tried this: "To change the translation selection back to English in Firefox, go to the Language section in the General panel of Firefox settings, select English from the dropdown menu, and restart Firefox. This will revert the translation settings to English." Didn't work. System language is English (CA).

Message Filters Poltergeist

I have an IMAP account with three folders in it that I need to keep below quota. They are Inbox, Sent, and Deleted. Among my local folders I have Archive of Inbox, Archive of Sent, and Archive of Deleted. I have three message filters that move old messages from the IMAP folders to their corresponding local folders. I understand that these filters have to be run manually, not automatically, because their source folders need to be set before each run. None of the filters is enabled, I'm not sure what this setting does but I think it prevents Thunderbird running the filter automatically. Each of the filters has Manually Run checked and all other options left unchecked. The retention policy for each IMAP folder is 'Use my account settings'. The relevant account setting is 'Don’t delete any messages'. I would therefore expect messages to remain in my IMAP folders until I run the filters, but that does not seem to be what is happening. I delete several messages per day and they go from the inbox into the deleted folder, but the total number of messages in that folder doesn't increase - in fact it sometimes decreases whilst I'm working. It is as though a ghost is running the filters when I'm not watching. Can anybody tell me what is happening?

For some time now, when opening Firefox, I do not find the tabs I opened in the previous session. I've checked that the "Open previous windows and tabs" box is checked, but it didn't help. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it from a fresh .EXE file, but that didn't work either. I've searched for resources on the subject but haven't found a solution to my problem. I should mention that I'm not a computer expert and I'm not exactly young any more.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

I have just set up Thunderbird on a new Windows 11 PC. So far as I can tell I have filled in the server details correctly. I can receive incoming mail. However, it fails to send emails out - I have tried a couple which I know are correct. Error message is: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <<snip>>: Relay access denied.

Please check the message recipient "<snip>" and try again.

(I've removed the actual mail address from the error message.) I've read the answers to previous versions of this query and made the correction as suggested. This hasn't helped. Any suggestions please? Many thanks, Roger Moore
