For some reason (accidental key stroke?) one of my email account's folders are no longer arranged alphanumerically. How can I reset the order to alphanumerical? I can't find a menu item or setting to do this. Thanks

Thunderbird incorrectly creates Archive folders on mail server

Hello,

I've used Thunderbird on Linux for a while and love it! I use it for multiple email accounts from different providers.

Until recently I manually Archived email in to Local Folders on my PC. I do this to remove email from my mail providers and to avoid storage limits.

I recently learned that if I I set the "Message Archives" option to a specific folder for each account under "Local Folders" I can either manually archive there or I can use an Extension like "AutoarchiveReloaded" to do this semi-automatically. Great!

Unfortunately for my main mailbox only, despite being configured to write to a sub-folder under Local Folders, Thunderbird seems to ignore the settings. It always tries to create an Archive folder in the mailbox itself. Every attempt creates a mess which takes time to cleanup.

The mailbox in question:

  • Uses IMAP
  • Has "Keep message archives in:" set to "Other:" "Local Folders > Archives > (the name of the account)".

I am concerned that if I try "Keep message archives in:" "Archives" Folder on Local Folders it will combine with all my other archived accounts which are sorted in to sub-folders correctly.

Is anyone able to help please?

Thank you!

hi, my emails are set never to delete but they are disappearing after three weeks. If I scroll down today, I can't see any emails before the 16th of September. If I know what I am looking for, the emails appear in the search function. Does anyone know why they are not in the inbox? My settings are set so that emails never delete.

Hello,

I have TB 140.3.1esr (64-bit) running on Windows 11. everything works as expected, I love it!

I can't find anywhere that allows me to change the folder's (on the left) font type/style; right now it's all bold style. I was able to change the size but not the type/style.

Does anyone know how to do that, please?

Thank you
