Compact folders fails on occasion

Since the error appeared that disabled the xPunge plugin (around TB 140), I have been compacting the folders in my 4 Thunderbird mail accounts manually. I wish there was a better way, but unfortunately not at this time. When I select to Empty Trash, I get messages showing quite an extensive dialog. It logs in, syncs, and even checks the folder capability of the server. When I select to Compact Files, I first get a simple message in the lower left corner "Compacting Files." Then I get messages showing each folder being compacted, and how much space was saved. It even shows reloading the last message at the end, even though the message is already there.

Since I now see this detailed dialog, I have noticed that, from time to time, the compacting fails. I get the first message, "Compacting Folders." But then nothing else. I also don't see the email message list go blank for a second when it is compacting the folder I am viewing. If I repeat the compacting folder command, it does the same thing. It appears that TB thinks the folders are already compacted, and takes no action. The only way I have found to get the compacting to work is to wait for more messages to come, delete the ones I don't want, and it will probably work on the next try. It seems to fail perhaps every 10th time or so.

Perhaps this is the same TB base code issue that is affecting xPunge? I do not get any errors, at least that I can recognize. I looked at the console, but I could not discern anything there that might be applicable - but that could be because I don't understand most of the messages there. Is there anything I can do to get around this issue? Thanks.

Hello This is rather weird... to me at least!

I recently noticed while I was replying an email, that when I type numbers they are not visible.

If I send email - sent it to myself, I can see numbers are there!

Only happens on new emails!

I already tried downgrading up to the point I could not downgrade more as - it obviously and annoyingly cannot load emails on a not very old version.

Never mind that - I much preferred version 1115-125 really.

Can anyone help.

I am going insane.

On any other computer with various version all works.

Thank you M

Hostinger folders are mapping improperly causing several problems

Just started using Thunderbird again, so I do not know how long this has been going on.

I am having several problems I think because Hostinger Email folders are mapping improperly.

1) All folders are showing as nested under the Inbox. Draft, Archive, Sent, one I created, etc. are all nested under the Inbox, rather than being on the same level as the Inbox.

2) In the Unified Inbox, all emails in these nested folders are showing. So all my Archived emails are showing in my Unified Inbox. They are not showing in individual Inboxes, just the Unified.

3) Archiving a message is sending it to my Local Folder, not to the Hostinger account Archive folder.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I recently installed Thunderbird for use with Gmail. I have created several message filters, but they keep disappearing. I have found that multiple filter files have been created:

Any idea why this is happening? Thanks

Dear all,

Previously Thunderbird has been saying that I had several unread e-mails in my Inbox. But I was unable to find them.

This morning I opened my Thunderbird and had my e-mails in the Inbox. Then a moment later all the e-mails disappeared. Yet it was still saying that I had five unread e-mails. Thunderbird prompted me to Compact Now which I did. I would be grateful if you could explain me how I can recover my e-mails. Thanks.

Kind regards, George Nielsen
