I-Thunderbird Community Forum

I'm reading the question Thread's broken sorting makes it completely unusable and I have to agree that order of messages within thread is not the best one - ascending. For example, I am subscribed to a forum messages and I'm getting all the notifications for a topic to a thread. Currently I have like 85 messages in a thread and to see the newest one I have to scroll all the way down each time - scrolling 85 messages is a lot and it is getting worse because the number of messages keeps growing. After I've seen the newest message, I have to scroll all the way up to close the thread. (or am I missing something - perhaps some shortcuts?)

But I guess for some such ordering is obviously fine. Hence, I guess, an option how to sort threads might come handy. Perhaps even having a default sort order and an override per thread?

PS. funnily enough, I'll have the same issue with notifications for this question :)

Today I created a subfolder and moved many precious e-mails there. That move was successful. Thereupon I shut down my Thunderbird and my computer. When I restarted my computer and my Thunderbird the folder which I created was empty. Please let me know how I can recover the e-mails. Thank you.

First of all, Thunderbird is a vast improvement over Outlook, so I'm persisting in setting it up. Unknown to me when I researched Thunderbird, it had an "Import from Outlook" feature. Well this trolled through all of the PST files on my computer and succeeded importing a fair amount before quitting saying that the errors were in some error-file that I can't find (Does anyone know where this error file is located?). So I have a large amount of what I need imported. Strangely, some folders have nothing initially then some time later, the emails are there! But I find the "Favourite" setup annoying. Thunderbird mirrors the setting of favourite with the target folder when you drag it to a higher level. In contrast, Outlook just creates a link to the target folder in its original location. I find Outlook's approach a lot better but still not worth the move back (Is there another way to create a Favourite in Thunderbird that does change the original folder?). Thanks for any help.

PRELUDE: I have several email accounts. All accounts display properly, except one. Yes, this is similar to my question about bottom of the far left [of emails] list of emails - but this is different.

On the far left of Thunderbird is a list of all my email accounts with "Inbox" etcetera. Each email account shows it's Inbox/Sent/Deleted/ except for 1 account. The problem email account only shows it's Title and Inbox northing else. Yes, I tested it and sent emails to it, and used the problem email account to send, create a draft, and they don't show..

The image explains it.

Thanks for reading this ~r

I'm having a recurring problem with discrepancies in the message count when I move emails from one Thunderbird folder to another. I regularly "sort" my emails into specific folders based on topics and other search criteria, but I frequently encounter situations where the number of messages I see on screen in a folder is less than what Thunderbird lists as the total number of messages in the folder. Why is this happening and how can I view the missing / hidden messages?

In my Thunderbird I have some folders with names printed italic starting with "INBOX". The folders are empty, so it's easy to delete them. After deleting I don't see the folders anymore. But after shutting down Thunderbird and starting Thunderbird again, the folders are back... How do I delete the folders to not see them anymore?
