Moving Thunderbird messages from Inbox to elsewhere (Message Filter & Copy/Paste)

I am the beneficiary (or victim, depending on how you view it) of Cox Communications turning all email services over to Yahoo. Both Cox & Yahoo store messages on an IMAP server.

As seems to be Yahoo's custom, they provided minimal documentation. Last night, in a 3+ hr call to tech support, for example, I noticed that my inbox had exactly 10,000 messages. (I know. It's not Inbox Zero -- I'm a bad, bad boy.) This seems suspicious, so I asked Yahoo's tech support agent about it. At first they said Yahoo puts no limits on messages and blamed Thunderbird for this. Then I showed them my employer's Gmail inbox with 35K messages and said this proves it's not Thunderbird. Then the agent said Yahoo has no limit. Then, apparently after getting feedback from their "support team," they said there's a limit of 10,000 messages per folder. So, even Yahoo's tech "support" seems almost clueless about such undocumented "features."

I know I need to trim the inbox, but I also need to keep lots of messages currently in it. So, the first thing I have to do is to move a large number of messages from the Inbox to another folder whose contents will be fixed.

To do this, I first created a folder to keep the original messages, "Cox Inbox."

Then I created a message filter with the following logic:

  • Match all of the following: Date, is before, 4/7/24 (the day before Cox migrated my account)
  • Move message to, Cox Inbox

But despite trying this repeatedly (I also tried "Match any of the following"), most messages stay in the Inbox and relatively few make it to the "Cox Inbox." I don't know how to troubleshoot this. Can you help?

Not being able to get the filter to work, I tried brute force. In my Inbox, I highlighted all the messages I wanted to move, pressed CMD-C (I'm using a Mac), went to the Cox Inbox, and pressed CMD-V. But it seemed nothing happened. Again, I'm at a loss as to how to troubleshoot this. Please help.

I'm trying to use Thunderbird to access my work emails directly. They use Outlook Office 365, which I can use the webmail version of just fine, but a year ago they upgraded to Oauth2 and MFA and for the life of me I cannot get any version of Thunderbord to work with it anymore. I can send an email, but I can access any email on the server. Weirder still is the error console message suggest the program thinks I cancelled my password entry;

"Loading failed for the <script> with source “chrome://global/content/netError.js”. neterror:128:4

This can't be this difficult. I need to setup a separate IMAP and SMTP server for accounts. I use SendGrid, so I need my IMAP to my server and SMTP using SendGrid's SMTP. However, it seems Thunderbird can't do this and only stores one password per account?

I hope there is a solution to this. With e-mail spam filters and such, if this isn't possible then I need to find another email solution. I've used Thunderbird for years and love it, but this might be what pushes me to something else, because I don't have a choice anymore.

Thanks for any help on this issue.

Thunderbird won't send an email because it thinks the email address I'm sending to has spam features. When I type the email address in the To bar it immediately puts an asterisk after the address. The email address is bzawacki@xxxxxxx.com. When I send the email it looks as though it sends then immediately an error message comes up that says the mail server responded with error code 43TH9mcn085202 and blocked the email because it has spam features. All I'm doing is sending an insurance estimate as an attachment to my car dealer. I've gone out to my ISP and added this address as a trusted sender but that didn't fix my issue.

OSX 12.7.4

I upgraded to 115.9.0 to get OAuth for some, but not all, accounts. Those on Gmail & Yahoo are OAuth. I have non-OAuth accounts on a Zimbra server, and on Panix.com.

It prompts for the first account's password. TBird then gobbles all available CPU on the machine, and stays there. If I wait long enough, it becomes usable again, but that may well be hours.

However, once it calms down, it works normally.

Intertwined with this is: TBird rejects the Zimbra passwords as I enter them. I retry and retry, and then they succeed. I know the passwords are correct; I've even typed them out, and then copy&pasted them in. I'm not sure about the Panix account, if its password works the first time or not.

I tried restarting in troubleshooting mode; it made no difference.

Thunderbird auto updated to 115.10.1 and now it is behaving strangely.

1. The Message Filter has "Junk" at the bottom of the list of filters and anything that is not sent to a folder gets sent to the Junk folder. Instead all the junk is going to the Inbox.

2. Folders that have new email show up in blue highlighted folder as they should. But if I select those emails and read them, they remain highlighted but without the blue color.

3. Sometimes when I delete an email after reading, it deletes for a moment and then returns to the folder as unread. Multiple attempts to delete fail.

I use Thunderbird as a central repository for 5 different email addresses. Recently 1 of them stopped getting Sent messages that were created on Webmail or my Phone. I used to work fine, now it doesn't. This account is the only one I have that is set to POP3; the others are IMAP.

I'd change the settings to be IMAP but don'e see how to do that. And, I don't want to lose any messages and would like to capture the ones that have not been captured.

I've been running Thunderbird for years on Gentoo which has version 115.10.1 as the most recent. I don't send much mail so I'm not exactly sure when this problem occurred, but I'm unable to authenticate with my SMTP server. I have not changed any configuration. Some weeks ago a changed my password on the server, but I made the appropriate changes to Thunderbird password manager. All settings, username and passwords are 100% correct as I copy pasted all of them. IMAP on the same server (uses same credentials) works.

I have tried deleting and re-adding my accounts which did not help. I have also tried deleting my profile folder. All other mail clients (e.g. claws-mail, kmail, mailspring) with the same SMTP server don't have any problems sending mail. This problem seems to only affect Thunderbird and Thunderbird forks such as Betterbird.

I have no firewall and am using SSL authentication with cleartext password on the SMTP server.

I get the following output to console on attempted sending of message:

console.error: (new Error("Server error 503 Service Unavailable", "resource://services-settings/Utils.sys.mjs", 390)) console.error: mailnews.smtp: "Command failed: 535 Incorrect authentication data; currentAction=_actionAUTHComplete" console.error: mailnews.smtp: "Authentication failed: Incorrect authentication data" console.error: mailnews.smtp: "Authentication failed: Incorrect authentication data" console.error: mailnews.send: "Sending failed; Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.kapsi.fi.

Today, most of messages have suddenly disappeared from my TB inbox, leaving only the most recent 105 out of approx. 18,000. I have not performed any operations (compacting, archiving...) that could have caused this.

I immediately invoked the 'Repair Folder' command, which did not resolve the problem. Further investigation revealed that the 'Inbox' file ('Profiles' folder) actually contains only 105 messages - seems like the 'Repair Folder' truncated the file!

Fortunately, all the messages are still on the server. My question: Is there a method to 'force' reloading of the missing messages?
