I had to do a clean install of Thunderbird after a HD crash. Since then, if I delete mail from the server it deletes it from my Thunderbird inbox. I have two accounts, both IMAP, both through ISPs rather than gmail or other webmail. I would like to know what settings I need to change to get Thunderbird to automatically download the emails off the server onto my computer, and so if they are deleted from the server they remain in my inbox.
I have message synchronizing turned on, to keep all folders from the accounts to save on the computer. It's set to do so regardless of age or size, and to not delete anything - but if it goes from the server, then it's immediately removed from my inbox.
Thank you in advance for any help offered.

Hello community,
So I just came up with thunderbird and I waned to give it a try for my emails and my calendars. The Calendar that I want to sync is from Nextcloud 13 and Thunderbird 60.5.1 (64-bit) on MacOS Mojave 10.14.2. The email sync works pretty fine. I tried though to create a Calendar as well:
Double click on the left bar Choose "On the network" Format: CalDav Location: cloud.xxxxxx.xxx/remote.php/dav/principals/users/xxxx/ Offline support enabled then "next"
on the next tab: Name:xxxxxx Color Show reminders enabled email: The email that I synced
when I finish the configuration the name of the calendar is on the left bar with a triangle exclamation next to it. When I pass the cursor by it, it shows "The calendar xxx is momentarily not available". I tried to sync it but it does nothing. I triedto add an event but nothing changes on the calendar.
What could it be the problem? Thanks in Advance, Alex

How in the world do I find that file. I can follow the directory list to INBOX but don't know how to edit it and if I can open it, how do I find that one message and delete it?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Several accounts I service called in this morning not being able to send of receive email. OMG !
There are 3 different ISPs involved. Web mail works okay. Found out AVG is casing issues with Thunderbird new release today or the one from last version, also.
Anyone having issues please contact AVG Antivirus. Free versions and Pro are both doing the same thing. Disable the email protection or replace AVG with something else until they fix it.

Thunderbird is receiving and sending emails to all addresses EXCEPT emails to gmail addresses or yahoo addresses which often come right back with a "message delivery failure" report. I have updated just now to the latest version of Thunderbird. The problem still exists. I can receive emails sent from a person's gmail just fine.
To clarify the problem, tonight I tried about 5 emails to my personal gmail account from my thunderbird account which is through our website (hosted by GoDaddy and we get our email through them). Two emails went through to my gmail account. The other three came back to the thunderbird account on our desktop computer with the "message delivery failure " report.
I am totally flummoxed by the seemingly capricious nature of this problem. However, I would like to solve it quickly because I'm chief English tutor for our daughter and being able to send to gmail is crucial! Thanks for your help. cedarmountain

I am running on TB release 60.5.0.
In the TB previous release, TF&SC worked fine for text (font) size control on incoming and outgoing messages. In the latest TB release TF&SC does not support the text (font) size.
The text size is miniscule. I can use the "ctrl +/-". However, this procedure is a drag when TF&SC has worked flawlessly in the previous TB release.
Is it not time for TB to have built-in text/font sizing control?
Your help on this issue would be appreciated.

Compact error alert associated with Exchange-exquilla account

Using thunderbird 60.5.1, I have two accounts, a gmail and microsoft exchange account (using exquilla). Often when I switch from the exchange inbox to the gmail inbox I receive the errors: "The folder 'Inbox' cannot be compacted because another operation is in progress. Please try again later." Followed by "The folder 'Sent' cannot be compacted because another operation is in progress. Please try again later." then "The folder 'Trash' cannot be compacted because another operation is in progress. Please try again later." then "The folder 'Junk' cannot be compacted because another operation is in progress. Please try again later."
I can close the alerts, and everything works, but having to close these almost every time I check emails is very annoying. I have archived both inbox and sent folders, and deleted the trash files, so the folders are not large (between 200 to 2500 emails for each folder). I have tried turning off the auto compact config, but no change.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Please help us. We bought new computers with windows 10. All of our emails and the hundreds of addresses are stored on the old Windows 7 . We loaded everything onto thumb drives. We installed the new version of Thunderbird on the W10 computers. Every help message we tried started with step one: click on "menu". Where is the menu button??? Is it somewhere on the old version that we used for 5 years, or on the new version. Please help us. WE cannot find the "menu" to begin the sequence that we continually find on how to transfer our e-mail system to the new computers. We are not people who use all the technojargon and the three and four letter type contractions that your techno geeks like to use. We are all folks in our late 70's and we just don't know all that strange language. Where can we find an understandable source to load our old emails onto the TBird that we installed on the new computers. Please help us. Thank You.

I created a Template with a Blind cc: to another account as a default. I now need to modify the template to delete the blind cc:
At this point I have tried all of the different "solutions": deleted all templates in the T-bird "Templates" folder in the "Inbox". Created a new one without the BCC: Done this in all possible combinations and permutations of order. Updated and restarted T-bird. The old template with the BCC still comes up when create a new message. Does not matter whether I use the Write tab or Message>New. (I vaguely recall there being an option to select a Template at this point. If so, it's disappeared. Just like the "three bar" icon that according to Mozilla Support is supposed to appear on the right side of the Mail Tool Bar when the Menu Bar is hidden. I have not been able to find anything that useful on where or how to locate the default template settings.
Next step is to go into the USER/APPData/. . ./Thunderbird/Profiles/Templates folder. . .like one "solution" recommended. That would work great--if that folder existed, but it doesn't in any of the subfolders represented by the /.../
Any and all suggestions welcome.
