Thunderbird randomly archives a significant percentage of my emails. I would like to stop that and control which email is archived. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks.

Maybe your filters or an add-on is doing it?

I have no filters or addons.

Then unless you're selecting a load of messages and pressing the A key, your email provider must be doing it.

Appreciate your reply but I rarely archive and your reply was archived. Not be me. Email provider. Didn't think they would do this. I will check. Thanks.
