What is the best way in TB of organising the storage of email messages on my local storage device:

• Many folders/subfolders, each containing a limited number of messages?
• Few / One Archive folder containing all messages, each message tagged with one or more tags for easy search/retrieval?

I would prefer the latter, but I am unsure if there are any limitations to how many messages that can be stored in one folder i TB.

• Are there any practical limitations regarding the no. of messages in one folder?

In the process of changing from Windows to Linux, I have entered the details of my email account and it is fine when I press re-test, but when I press done it is not fine anymore. The email is “freeuk.com” which is still active but Freeuk itself isn’t, but the service was taken over by Claranet with a “clara.net” setting, so I imagine that may be relevant. Any help (not too technical please) would be appreciated. Thanks.

Grouping emails is awesome. Also have the preview show a bunch of compressed email info when a group is selected. However if the group contains only one email nothing is previewn. Is this a bug or a feature?

Environment:

• Thunderbird 153.0.2 (aarch64)
• MacBook Air, M4, Tahoe 26.5.1

When I try to create or rename an Inbox subfolder in Thunderbird it all seems’’ to work (no error message), but after pressing “Rename” or Create” nothing happens.

Thought I found a workaround: Created a “Temporary” subfolder in “Local Folders” and “moved it" to the Inbox. And it showed up there. (But it was still in the “Local Folders”!). Tried moving a (Spam) email into the Temporary folder under the Local Folders, that worked. Tried moving a (Spam) email into the Temporary folder under the Inbox—it just disappeared! It was no longer in the Spam folder, but did not end up in (either) Temporary folder.

How can i get new messages in a thread to move the thread to the top? (I have descending order selected) I miss new incoming replies when they sorted weeks or months ago by the original email date.

I have used Thunderbird with the same email account for years, creating subfolders and moving emails to the subfolders with no issues.

With Thunderbird 153.0.1, after creating a new subfolder in the account, when attempting to move emails to the new folder, I receive the following error:

"Thunderbird: The current command did not succeed. The email server responded: APPEND invalid flag list"
