I have built up a collection of more than 400 deleted emails in my 'Deleted' folder. I am sure I will not need to refer to any of them again, and I would like to finally remove them. In the past, there was a command among the various sets of commands at the top of the page, which removed all of them, after confirming that this is what I wished to do. I can no longer find this command. Please tell me where to find it. If it no longer exists, tell me how to deal with 'deleted' material.

I keep receiving the same or similar spam emails which I have already marked as Junk. I assumed that by doing so, Thunderbird would 'know' to send those directly to the Junk folder, but these emails still appear in my Inbox. How to train T'bird so that new emails I have previously marked as Junk automatically go to the Junk folder (it would then be up to me to check this folder if needed)?

I have a Macbook air, T'bird shows up to date (v. 140.5.0esr (aarch64), Junk settings: Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account, Move new junk messages to: "Junk" folder on Local folders. Many thanks.

Hi, Having trouble with JUNK mails, from unknown adresses. I've found in "account settings" "Trust junk mail headers set by" might be good for me but no idea which one to choose!

Emails from those that are in my addressee book are being sent to the Spam/Junk folder and I am having to go through that folder and get back to the inbox. I have marked them as "Not Spam" for weeks, but they still continue to end up in that box. Even messages from President Trump and Western Journal are being sent to the Spam/Junk folder. I don't know what you did to the algorithm, but it really messed up my incoming emails. Please fix your algorithm or delete it and allow the users to set the trend for which are Spam/Junk and which are good emails.

For years now, every time I get a suspicious email claiming to be from Breezeline, I FORWARDed it AS ATTACHMENT, and it's gone on its way with no problem.

    For the last three suspicious emails, when I FORWARDed it AS ATTACHMENT, I get a message that it failed to send because the notice has spam in it: it's labeled VO-1.
    My first question is: how do I FORWARD AS ATTACHMENT a notice that is spam when Thunderbird won't send the FORWARD AS ATTACHMENT because it has spam in it?
    My second question is: Do you solve this problem, or do I have to communicate with someone else?

When I try and "Compact" my trash folder, I get the following error message: "The folder 'Trash on redacted@gmail.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

There is plenty of disk space, but there is no option for "write privileges". The trash folder has grown to 632 MgB even though I keep deleting old messages from the trash folder!

I keep getting 30 to 40 messages in my junk folder every day that are not junk or spam. I keep moving them to my inbox folder but many of the same messages keep going to the junk folder.

Running version 145. Trash/Junk processing has been named SPAM. I have never had any SPAM folders. Where do the deleted notes go? Why the change? How do I setup the SPAM folders so that they function. Lets have some consistency in naming and processing. Why when the update/new release is installed does it not retrofit folders. You are confusing me with your gratuitous changes. I am not a computer expert.

Regards,

I just upgraded to Thunderbird 145.0 No longer have Junk Control Filter or any junk folders. Has this been replaced with Spam Control Filter? Do I need to reset training data this or does it use the old Junk controls?

Hello, I have marked a number of emails as junk in the Suspected Spam folder. Why are they not immediately moved to my junk folder? Or do I have to move the marked emails there manually? Or is it better to delete them manually immediately after marking them?

Best Regards

Lately I've been getting multiple copies what I am naming ghost emails showing up in folders I have set up in my Thunderbird account. They do not appear in my Thunderbird Inbox.

They show with no subject, no sender and dated 01/01/1970, 01:00

I have been deleting without opening and then emptying Trash.

Has anyone else been getting what I am describing and if so how did you deal with it?

Over the past few weeks, emails have suddenly started migrating from my inbox into my trash. I can put them back into my inbox easily enough but it's really annoying.

The interesting thing about these emails is that, when they go into the trash folder, they stay there. I have my Thunderbird settings so that any emails I actually delete don't go into the trash but simply disappear.

Can anybody explain why this is happening and how I can stop it?

Thank you

I am constantly getting mail I do not want. I have regularly been changing passwords so that each one is unique from the other. However, the emails continue. How do I stop these invasions?
