Cannot move or copy multiple messages

Thunderbird Email dhe shkëmbim mesazhesh

I have a fresh install of Thunderbird from yesterday. Never was on this machine before. Setting up 2 mail accounts worked well. I can select multiple messages using either ctrl+click to select individual messages or shift+click to select a range of messages. They all get highlighted as one would expect, but when I drag them to another folder, or choose from the right-click options like move or copy or archive, this action is performed only for the first message that I clicked. I am sure this did work before and I have no idea what I might have changed so that it does not work anymore. I transfered a lot of messages from one account to the other without problems. I changed archive options, installed the AutoArchive addon, changed folder icon colours, ... Can't remeber everything, sorry. On a side-note, AutoArchive is also only archiving one single message from every folder, so the underlying mechanism is the same.

I have thunderbird 152 on windows 11 and it works for me both ways ( drag or right click ). All emails selected are copied or moved,.

Perennial Novice, I am guessing that AutoArchive is the cause. You might try running Thunderbird in troubleshooting mode and seeing if the problem persists. Look under the Help menu.
