Bonjour, Ma femme, victime d'un hameçonnage, a effacé le mail frauduleux que réclame l'assurance Allyatys. J'ai pu récupéré tous les mails effacés ( plus de 800) en employant la méthode de X-Mozilla-Statuts: 0000. Mais bizarrement ce mail frauduleux manque à l'appel dans la période indiquée. Pouvez vous me dire qu'elles en seraient les raisons ? Par avance merci pour vos réponses. JL

When I try and "Compact" my trash folder, I get the following error message: "The folder 'Trash on redacted@gmail.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

There is plenty of disk space, but there is no option for "write privileges". The trash folder has grown to 632 MgB even though I keep deleting old messages from the trash folder!

I am working on an article explaining aspects of message verification such as SPF, DKIM, DMARC and ARC. I have been studying how messages are marked as spam. I have observed that some messages that would be purely legit (like from my bank) are occasionally marked spam. Others show inconsistency -- such as my articles from Substack being marked as spam for some addresses I own, while others are not.

I am particularly interested in how Thunderbird is interpreting the header in regards to source verification. In most of my articles I have advocated for a scoring system that would better inform the recipient of the trustworthiness of the message. I noticed there is an X-spam tag on some messages that is based on a scoring algorithm.

Appreciate your assistance.

Under my main email account in Thunderbird there are two Spam folders. I don't know how a second one was created but I'd like to delete it. When I right-click each Spam folder, only one has a Delete option, but when I select it, the Spam folder doesn't get deleted. How can I delete the extra Spam folder? thanks.

I have a domain so any email I use comprises of name@mydomain.co.uk

In the past I have given an email address to some dodgy enterprises such as Abbey National plc, and so I get loads of spam to abbey@mydomain.co.uk

It is an utter pain that many spammers use a throw away or random To: address but because the envelope email is abbey@mydomain.co.uk I get to receive it and there is no easy way of searching a folder to find matches to "envelope to".

Similarly it seems impossible to construct filters for an "envelope to" address.

Any ideas?
