Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

I'm getting very frustrated with important emails being put in the junk folder. Nothing I have done prevents this behavior.

+ Sender is in address book + I have NO filters + Mail server does not have filters + Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account -- OFF + Trust junk mail headers set by: -- OFF + Move new junk messages to: -- OFF + Global junk settings

  When messages are marked as junk: -- OFF
  Mark messages as read
      When manually marked as junk -- OFF
      When Thunderbird determines that they are junk -- OFF

Enable adaptive junk filter logging -- OFF [ Reset Training Data ] -- pressed many times, no noticable effect

Thunderbird gives me the error "The current command did not succeed" if try to delete my junk folder.

I'm at my wits' end and ready to dump Thunderbird for something else. This is obnoxious and has caused me a lot of grief with missed important emails.

Is there a definitive way to turn this "feature" 100% off or is it time to ditch this app?

A disaster happened, but first, let me say that I had to create a new Thunderbird Profile because Thunderbird was acting really strange and also making my e-mails fail DKIM for some reason. After creating the new profile, things were working better, but still some problems. It's been several days. Twice it marked my own e-mails as Junk, and both times I marked them as Not Junk, but that didn't seem to "take".

An e-mail in my Drafts folder is my "in case of death" e-mail. I was editing it to change the To addresses, then told it to save as Draft. That immediate Draft went straight to the Junk folder. WTF? So I go to the Junk folder, select it, right click, and "Mark as Not Junk".

Instead of going to the Drafts folder, Thunderbird sent it. Not only that, the old Draft of the e-mail was sent also!

I'm royally pissed off! How could Thunderbird do something so stupid? First classify my own saved Draft as Junk after my having marked my own e-mails twice before as Not Junk, then send it when I said it was not Junk? This is stupid.

Needless to say, I had to hurriedly sent a retraction e-mail, then made phone calls.

Something is really wrong with Thunderbird Junk processing. After creating the new profile, I've seen junk e-mails sit in my Inbox for 15 minutes before suddenly Thunderbird decides that they are junk.

Thunderbird WAS a good program, but after having to start over with a new Profile, setting up my e-mail addresses again, install add-ins, go through all the settings again, import my e-mails, addresses, and calendars, then have things still going wrong, I'm wondering why I'm still using Thunderbird.

What happens when an email is downloaded but the settings have been changed to send a spam/junk email to a folder that does not exist.

When I Alt/click an email, the alt/click menu allows you to mark it as Junk. I have just set the junk option in settings (Global) to move junk mail to the Junk folder but the Gmail account does not have a Junk folder, only a Spam Folder.

Why do people use such unprofessional terms? It is Spam. Even "Folder" is childish to someone who started with Dos 5.0 although it is sort of correct.

I have also adjusted the notifications so I do see a quick notification about receipt of an email. I saw a notification that mentioned an email that was considered junk. I cannot find it. I do not know for sure whether it was junk or not.

Where could this email have gone? Gone forever? I have nothing set to totally remove emails. I do this manually. Emails caught by my Filters are sent to the Bin/Trash (another mix) so I can check them before deleting permanently.

Regarding the Bin/Trash mix mentioned, I have 4 accounts showing. An old IP based and a Gmail based account for both myself and my partner. My partner is not interested in using computers. My Gmail account has a Bin folder but the other 3 have Trash folders, all with bin icons. I have no idea about setting icons for these folders, nor do I care about this, meaning I don't think it is something I have done deliberately. I just find it weird and confusing that there is no convention followed.

I get genuine messages from Bell. I get spam from Bel! (that's an exclamation mark) and others including an "e" with a mark under it like a cedilla. I would like to copy and paste that version into a filter but I have not been able to capture it. I can copy the <whoIam@isp.com> part but not the name. The answer is probably obvious, but it escapes me.

My Bin folder in one of my Email addresses is suddenly showing as Trash instead of Bin and contains Mail I've deleted but I can't delete it permanently, they keep returning.. Bin is still there but it's showing in Italics and is empty How can I rectify this please.
