Please inform me how I can mark senders in Thunderbird as not spam or is there a list of secure senders so their mails will not go to spam folder?

Best regards Magnus Arnason

I want to create a filter to match any of the 20 addresses on my list. Rather than manually repeating the 'add rule' 19 times, I hoped to import all 20 at once.

Creating a filter with 'to' and putting a comma separated list there doesn't seem to work; the addresses won't be matched. I can't find a config file to manually edit in my profile directory for filters, or an extension to create this filter.

My end-goal is to add this 'blacklist' of my old e-mail addresses that have been leaked to a spam filter. These messages already end up in my spam folder by a rule at my provider, but I want to mark them as spam too, so I can sort through the spam folder more easily to find false positives.

Thanks in advance!

Feature Request: When a user reports spam to an official agency (e.g., report@phishing.gov.uk), Thunderbird should automatically detect the endpoint using pattern matching and prompt the user to forward the message as an attachment (.eml format) rather than inline, preventing the loss of critical routing headers like DKIM, SPF, and Received: chains necessary for cyber investigators. This logic could either intercept a manual forward with a prompt asking to attach the original source data, or as an alternative, it could be integrated directly into Thunderbird’s existing "Spam / Junk" button to automatically package and auto-route the pristine email source data to the designated agency upon click.

My business has two domains. I can send email to a Gmail account holder using the primary domain with no issues. But amy emails from what I call the "secondary" domain below are treated as spam. This occurs with two different email addresses using the secondary domain.

Both domains are hosted with Bluehost. Exhaustive research has revealed the following:

• Settings in Thunderbird are exactly the same, e.g. ports, security, SSL/TLS, etc. for each domain.
• There is no subject line or content that could possibly be regarded as spam.
• MXToolbox indicates that the secondary domain is not on any blacklist.
• Extended support via Bluehost reveals that SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records are all correct.
• Email sent to a Gmail account using the CPanel (Roundcube) is not flagged as spam. Only emails sent via Thunderbird are flagged.
• Emails sent to a Gmail account from the secondary domain using my mobile phone, but still on the same network/IP address, are not flagged as spam.
• If I first send an email to one of the secondary domain emails FROM Gmail, then reply to it, the reply is not flagged as spam.

After many hours of head scratching (and later, head banging), I am pretty much at my wit's end with this problem. I'm an electronic engineer but this one is definitely out of my wheelhouse. Any help would most certainly be appreciated!

Thanks in advance, Don

I have 4 email account. One account will not allow me to delete or send to junk box. When I press delete nothing happens. The emails (at least 30) that came in are marked junk too. The other 3 account work fine. I have had these 4 account for years and never had a problem. I have done a complete scan with Norton and nothing came up. Thank You in advance

Hallo ich brauche Unterstützung,

Wie/Wo kann ich diesen Ordner Spam' in meinem Thunderbird Account '[edited]@t-online.de IMAP' entfernen/löschen? Die Pfadangabe 'imap://juergen.plenske%40t-online.de@secureimap.t-online.de/INBOX/Junk' des ersten Ordners ist falsch. Der INBOX-Ordner auf t-online heist 'Spam' und funktioniert als zweiter Ordner (unterhalb) korrekt.

Vielen dank für eine Lösung dieses Problems.

Recently started getting many more mails than usual. many if not all related to setting up an account at a site from which I had not solicited an account. some included requests to acknowledge charges to my account for purchases I had not made charged to payment accounts I did not have. Some I could not read because they were in languages I did not read. My usual practice is to read and then delete emails that I don't need, but the ones I am receiving are so numerous, reading each and then deleting is impractical. I need some way to delete by categories. I don't understand what is causing the flood of emails but I need to stop it if I can. Hidden in the emails I am getting may be some I need and if I delete by categories I may lose some that I need, but at the same time, it is impractical to read and then delete individual messages. mails Anyone have any idea what caused the flood of what appears to be spurious emails, is it some sort of scam or cyber attack?

I have been using Thunderbird for a very long time. Today is the first time I have seen this happen.

In the column on my left side that has my account and folders for those accounts it is showing 5 in my junk account. But in the preview window to the right of that column there is nothing showing as far as any entries as junk mail. It is completely blank. What do I need to do to clear this 5 from the left column Junk folder??

I have tried resetting the machine and that did not work. I even went into the webmail site for my email provider and there is no junk email showing there at all so as far as my email provider goes, it looks like everything is working there.

I've recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, retaining my gmail address. I'm finding all emails sent to a bt email address either goes into spam, if cc, or rejected if bcc. I think this is bt issue for the receipts to resolve but is there anything I can do at this end?

I used to be able to copy links from Youtube and send them to people to watch. Now thunderbird is not letting me do that and says it is spam. This is so irritating as my bedridden sister loved to watch the things I would send her. Is there a way around the spam setting?

Just recently, some of the emails I receive are full of messages in red next to almost every line of the email saying that things like "Likely fraud detected" or "Do not trust this website." There is no indication as to what program is creating all these warnings. I have tried to turn off anything I can find in Thunderbird's security settings to no avail. The main source of emails with these warnings is "Beermenus.com" which I have been receiving for quite awhile before this started. Any ideas on what to do

OK, so I see where others Thunderbird users have previously asked about why e-mails are disappearing from their Thunderbird junk folder but have a quite different problem. So, when I go to my junk folder momentarily all the mails are present, but then right before my eyes 2 or 3 just simply disappear! They truly disappear and are nowhere in any folder on Thunderbird account -trash, archives, sent, etc. I did the obvious and Googled and there are some informative posts about Thunderbird settings for time-outs and filters and automatic deletion - BUT, BIG BUT all my settings conform already to all their suggestions on these various web posts. So at my wits end I ask the folks in the community if they have any explanation as to why e-mails in junk folder on Thunderbird literally just disappear in front of me. I would be greatly appreciative of any suggestions.

Hello, I get oftem spam mails with a header like the following: from:Singles50 subject:Momenti speciali insieme per gli over 50 Reply-To:reply_to@miracel001.entrydns.org>

I tried to create a filter adding as personalized condition "Reply-to" that Thunderbird saves in the msgFilterRules.dat as: condition="OR (\"reply-to\",contains,@miracel001.entrydns.org)"

There is no way to get any filter working, do you have a suggestion on how to fix this issue ?

Thanks
