I recently added a email address to my thunderbird email and it brought forward a lot of messages from Yahoo that are spam. I would like to block them and instructions I have were dated 2016 from Mozilla. Is there a new instruction on how to block?

There was an earlier Case with the exact same name as what I named this case which was archived back in 2025. I have been living with this same problem since last year also. In the previous case there was reference to "downgrading" to an earlier version of TB, but there have been a bunch of updates since then so I doubt that would fix my problem because that earlier version is now over a year old.

I have one Gmail folder that correctly has one folder label "Junk." However, I have 4 folders that are AT&T related (2 from the domain "sbcglobal.net" and 2 from the "att.net.") For some reason when I set these folders up years ago they started out as labeled "Spam" instead of "Junk." Of those 4 folders 2 of them have the duplicated "Spam" folders, one from each domain."

When I go to Folder Properties I see "imap://XXXXX%40sbcglobal.net@imap.mail.att.net/Junk" on one of these Spam folders and "imap://XXXXX%40sbcglobal.net@imap.mail.att.net/Bulk" in the other. And the same "Bulk" vs "Junk" issue is in the other domain as well. All are named "Spam."

Can I simply delete one of these folders that are named "Spam" in each domain? Does it matter whether I delete the one ending in "Junk" or the one ending in "Bulk?"

Thanks.

Hello Thunderbird Support, I am experiencing a severe IMAP folder synchronization loop with my Yahoo Mail account (paulpersonne519@yahoo.fr) inside Thunderbird. Yahoo Support claims the issue is caused by Thunderbird's folder mapping, so I am reaching out to you for a solution.

1. 1. The Problem:

The system-protected folder "Bulk" (Spam) has somehow been moved or mapped as a subfolder inside the "Trash" folder.

• In the Yahoo Mail Web UI (Chrome), the subfolder is invisible, but the Trash directory shows an arrow (^) indicating a child folder exists.
• In Thunderbird, the Bulk folder is clearly visible inside the Trash folder, marked with the flame (Junk) icon.

1. 1. What goes wrong:

When I delete spam messages via Thunderbird, they get trapped inside this nested Trash/Bulk directory. If I try to delete or empty it, the emails disappear but the folder itself cannot be removed.

1. 1. Steps tried so far that failed:

  1. Attempting to delete or rename the Bulk folder inside Trash gives the server error: [CANNOT] DELETE failed - Mailbox is reserved.
  2. Using Shift + Delete on the folder is rejected by the Yahoo server.
  3. Unsubscribing from the folder via "Advanced IMAP settings" -> "Show only subscribed folders" fails; Thunderbird re-downloads the structure on the next sync.
  4. I have completely deleted my old Thunderbird profile folder and created a brand new one using thunderbird.exe -P. Upon adding the Yahoo account via OAuth2, Thunderbird immediately pulled the same broken Trash/Bulk structure from the server again.

Since Yahoo refuses to help and claims Thunderbird caused this mapping loop, is there a hidden config setting (about:config) or a database override in Thunderbird that can force the server to release or move this reserved folder back to the root directory? Thank you for your assistance.
