Tbird re-loading all 90,000 emails suddenly

I am using TB 115.9.0 on a Windows 7 Lenovo laptop in pop3 mode. I use AVG (which I know has caused a lot of problems).

I have over 150,000 emails in various directories...all downloaded from AOL and an older eudora installation.

TB had been working fine for the past 60 days. Before that, I'd had a problem with slow or no downloading of emails which was solved by unchecking the SCAN SSL connections in the AVG geek area.

So everything has been working great for a period of time.

Today, my computer battery ran out of juice, and the computer shut down.

When I got back to the office, and plugged it in, I noticed TB was NOT downloading any emails. I went into panic mode (thinking "here we go again!...who has time for this?") and immediately turned OFF the AVG....thinking that would solve the problem (as it had a few months ago).

When I restarted the system, it began loading ALL 89000 emails currently in my AOL account.

I've reloaded TB (saw this in someone else's post); tried starting TB in safe mode (had the same problem); and have restarted numerous times. Result each time: downloading 1 of 89.000 emails.

Any idea how to reset things so I am NOT downloading 89000 emails again?

Thanks in advance.

bold text4 or 5 years ago i simply synced TB and Firefox straight to my laptop from my desktop. Today it does not seem to work that way. Why has it gotten more complicated? I have all of my emails, address's and etc.saved profile and cannot seem to replace it. I tried the thunderbird.exe -p and it gets confusing there. Apparently it does not give one the option to replace profile like mine, but one can create one. I tried creating by entering my old Profile and it did not work. It says to use the Browse button which should bring you to the actual spot to add your profile. I do not see a 'Browser" button, but do see 2 separate folders buttons, but i do not know which to choose, if any. I have donated in the past when things were working smoothly, but discourged to add to it now with all these upgrade mess's. Like they say, "if it ain't broken, leave it alone..." s amd

When I open an email dozens of folders(?) of other emails appear in above toolbar. Then when I finish reading the email and close it the screen defaults to Address Book and the only way I can see the list of emails is click on Address Book icon and then the Mail icon above it. See screen shot if you can. I couldn't figure out how to make it larger.

Hello dear Thunderbird members.

Please, I would like your assistance to the following issue.

It's about when creating an existing account on Thunderbird application. Creating a Google mail account, or Yahoo! account (IMAP setting up). Or creating on POP3 module my mail account that I have on my internet provider.

So, the question/problem is, when I create account, all settings are being created (settings I mean incoming mail server, ports, etc), the authentication of username and password is passed, and finally account is created, with inbox folder, and immediately automatic getting messages begins. And, all other folders under inbox are being created/loaded. What I want to ask is if there is a technique, after account creation, only the inbox folder to be created empty, then not starting an automatic getting messages, and only if I click on inbox folder or press the get messages button, just then, the getting messages and folders begin. Just something like say disable automatic getting messages when creating existing account.

Is there any way to make this?

Thank you for your time!

Cannot Copy Text from Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit)

I am using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

I am finding that I cannot copy text out of a Thunderbird window (e.g., an incoming message or a message-composition pane).

If I select text and "copy" (e.g., by context menu with right click or Edit-Copy ordinary menu), my clipboard is cleared.

If my clipboard is not clear (text copied from another application), I can paste that into a Thunderbird message-composition pane. But if I then select that same text in the Thunderbird window and then do "copy" (above), the clipboard is cleared. Pasting (into a Thunderbird window or something else, like Notepad) pastes nothing.

I have noticed this problem only in the last week or so.

As a home user with a not very fast upload (~10Mb/s) it takes a very long time to transfer files to my cloud backup provider.
