I recently upgraded to TB 128.14 Oesr (64, Win 10). I’m a bit conservative about upgrading anything – as upgrades often waste a lot of time – if not risk justified.

Basically, If it’s workin’ well enough (cost vs benefit) …… well … “don’t fix it” – even though … “if it ain’t broke, doesn’t mean it isn’t sub-optimal”. Here, it seemed worth the risk.

My prior TB version – nope, I don’t remember which it was (is that in a log?) incorrectly identified bookoo normal e-messages as “junk” (junk filter deactivated) wasting a LOT of my time to move them back to the “indox”.

It also – CORRECTLY ID’ed – a big lot of data sucking spam as “junk” (junk filter still deactivated) for my PUBLIC e-address (expected spam magnet) – alerting me of the quantity of (expected) spam I was actually getting (my free Omaha steaks are on the way).

After upgrading (to TB 128.14) I don’t get any, well much of that spam any more (got a couple today) – hurrah (maybe)!! I don’t see it any more. It is gone completely (mostly, ostensibly) and the problem is – I do want to SEE it – all of it – in a “spam folder / directory” nd not in trash– wherever it is – to make sure it is NOT mis-ID’ed as spam – when actually an important message maybe telling me I’ve won the FIFA email prize!

So … “the game is a’foot! Holmes! How can I track down that missing spam – to see ALL of it – to verify it’s identity?

I suspect my hosting company – Hostinger – may be involved – as I did verify, previously, with my previous TB version – that they COULD see into my TB account structure. Can’t find it now, but previous did see MY TB account named “Aviation”. They, Hostinger, said THEY aren’t “moving” anything anywhere – not into “Junk”, anyway. Are they lying (as popular as that has become recently)?

I’m not smart enough to understand DKIM (though I could get that way) just want to see ALL email sent to ALL my e-addresses that didn’t get there – wherever it is (not immediately, I would hope)!

Merci,

Dru

Last week my Inbox started showing TWO (2) unread messages, but I cannot find any unread messages in my Inbox. My SPAM folder is also showing two (2) spam messages, but there is only one spam message in the folder.

How the [edited] do I turn automatic spam filtering off? I've literally unchecked EVERYTHING related to junk or spam, but it's still marking every [edited] email that I get as spam. Even addresses in my address book!

Hi. Somehow, in Thunderbird Mail, I moved the "Bulk" folder into the "Trash" folder and now I can't reverse that. Some of my mail is going to the "Bulk" folder and I'm forgetting to check that, thus missing emails. Is there a way to move that "Bulk" folder back where it belongs? thanks in advance

Hallo, ich benutze Thunder in der neuesten Version unter Win11 und verwalte 3 Mailadressen darunter. Nun ist mir aufgefallen das auf einmal 2 Spamordner pro Mailadresse angelegt sind aber nur ein Ordner benutzt wird. Wie kann ich die unbenutzten Spamordner löschen ??? Mailadressen als IMAP angelegt 2 Mailadressen unter Seuresmtp.t-online.de 1 Mailadresse unter Web.de Freemail-smtp.de mit Googleübersetzer

Hello, I'm using the latest version of Thunderbird on Windows 11 and manage three email addresses with it. I've noticed that two spam folders have suddenly been created for each email address, but only one folder is being used. How can I delete the unused spam folders?

Email addresses set up as IMAP

Two email addresses are with Seuresmtp.t-online.de One email address is with Web.de Freemail-smtp.de

I'm pretty sure the scammer doesn't have my e-mail password. But how can they do this? The e-mail looked very real; it was from me and to me. The e-mail itself accused me of something, demanded a payment, and threatened to flood my e-mail with more scam messages if I didn't pay up.

All of a sudden, two email accounts that I use on Thunderbird is placing all incoming emails directly into the "Trash Folder" Other email email accounts on Thunderbird work as they should. Never changed anything and I can still send out emails from these 2 accounts that are placing everything coming into trash folder.

I recently noticed that my Thunderbird has two identical Spam folders. I deleted Thunderbird from my computer and reinstalled it but the two Spam folders are still there. When I right click either one there is no Delete option.

I've noticed a problem in which I delete emails in the Trash folder using the Empty Trash command. The folder appears empty for a while, then when I go back later to delete any new files from the Trash folder, many of the emails I've already deleted are present again. Suggestions on how to completely delete emails in the Trash folder would be appreciated.

I am being barraged by email spam by the hundreds all day and all night I have placed almost 100 filters that put the spam in the trash, but since many of my contacts wind up in the trash folder as well, i need to look through it all to verify spam, not something important.

Is there any way to keep these unwanted emails from loading?

Today, a number of my emails in the inbox were marked as suspected "spam" or "junk." These were from usual senders. What's up? Also, several items in my inbox have vanished,

hello togehther, im using thunderbird for over ten years. In all that time i never deleted my trash, because it was very helpful to have acess to all the mails and data

this morning there was the notice that there is not enough space to get the new mails from the server, so i started to delete some of the oldest mails.

since then i don´t know why, the programm is very slow when you delete a mail, it takes ca 5 seconds to work again. the delete mails can not be found in the trash and all the old deleted mails can also not be found in the trash

also thunderbirds often hangs up now an needs a restart.

there is a file trash.sbd with 1,7 GB but theres also a file only named trash which has 17 GB so i think the mails are still there
