I-Thunderbird Community Forum

I have seen many questions a bit like mine but they all refer to downloading emails. Mine is different: "The folder 'Trash on my@email.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." It now happens on two different email addresses (one is POP one is IMAP). Trash seems otherwise to work and can be deleted. But still this alarm. MAS OS 15.1.1 (24B91) - latest Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit)

Have a folder on my yahoo webmail account with >100K emails accumulated over time. The emails are of no lasting value

I just received a notification (via a banner on yahoo webmail when I log in) that my storage is full (never seen this before, but not surprised that Yahoo would be looking for "additional storage" revenue - not interested.)

I'm attempting to delete the emails in this (large) folder (which are of no lasting value), so far with no success.

The initial problem is that yahoo's functions to expunge (permanently remove) the emails (after moving them to their trash folder) does not work (either 0% progress overnight, or progressing 0-100% progress, in either case all of the emails remain in their trash folder and I continue to be notified (by the banner at sign-in) that email storage is full (and I do not wish to purchase any additional storage from yahoo.) As this is a non-premium yahoo account, no support exists.

It appears that yahoo webmail does not expose their trash folder via imap (it appears empty on imap view). Thunderbird "empty trash" on the hosted Trash folder shows no contents and completes immediately with "emptied trash".

I've now tried moving emails from yahoo's trash folder to another (new) folder on yahoo webmail, then using thunderbird imap to move those emails from yahoo to a local folder. My expectation was that "move" means gone from server, present on client. That appears not to be the case.

While this step does create a local copy, a copy appears to be left in yahoo's trash folder which still cannot be removed, so the core problem (of their impact on yahoo webmail storage) is unresolved.

I understand that "expunge" exists in IMAP but I don't see how this can be used with Thunderbird.

As I'm somewhat going in circles trying to solve this problem, I'm reaching out here for advice.

Thanks

I tried unticking enable and it did NOT work. Help! I want the stupid filter gone. I have struggled for two years with the junk filter which does not work right. I have done shift J. The filter does NOT learn. A week aog, I saw that I could uncheck enable and that was supposed to stop the filter. That also did NOT work.

Today, an email I forwarded to myself from another platform went in junk. I never wanted any junk filter. It has been nothing but trouble and now I can't even disable it.

I use an AOL email account and Thunderbird on my Mac. In Thunderbird, the junk mail folder - which AOL call "Bulk Mail" for some reason - has moved to the Trash folder and I can't get it out. It's a Thunderbird problem - if I go onto my account at AOL.com, everything is normal. How do I get it out? I've tried cutting and pasting it, creating a new folder...nothing seems to work. I don't want to empty the trash in case I no longer have a junk folder at all

I saw people posting for over a year about the "Geeksquad" FAKE emails. This still hasn't been corrected, and I am getting them also from the criminal enterprise. They all pretend to be from Best Buy/Geeksquad. They all have Click buttons with the SCAMMER website rxvtom<>.com within the email. Block this Junk, please, before any more people get hurt

I will provide FULL HEADERS Directly to Support Staff. I don't want to Post them here since someone might inadvertently Click on them and get Malware from rxvtom<.>com Malware site.

good day....ii hope someone can help. the other day i was accessing my yahoo account spam folder and by accident, i deleted the spam folder instead of emptying it. the spam folder is now sitting in the trash and i'm unable to remove it from there. when i log into my actual yahoo account, the spam folder is where it's supposed to be and not in the trash. i tried removing the yahoo account from thunderbird and reinstalling it in hopes that it would rectify the problem, but it hasn't. does anyone have a solution?? i would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. thank you for your time...mike s

So, all of a sudden my incoming emails went directly to the "Junk" folder for no apparent reason. When I go to the Junk folder to view my emails, they don't show up in the right viewing column.

And when I try to send them back to my "Inbox," they don't go there and I have no idea where they go. I can't see them anywhere. I've checked my outgoing settings and they're where they are supposed to be....as well as my incoming server settings. They are where they should be. I use Comcast, and have checked with them, and those settings are correct

So at this point I have no idea what to do, and obviously need help from someone much more knowledgeable then me! Hopefully I've explained the issue clearly, and have made it easier for those of you out there. I'm not a computer dummy....but this has be quite baffled, as it came on suddenly, and had weird characteristics.

Thanks to all,

Michael...

I tried gleaning this single outgoing email of "excessive spam/sales language" (I am only thanking someone for their purchase, not asking for another); "excessive links" (they and their graphics were fine before). no "excessive emailings/quantities" (I am only sending one single email and don't do more than a few with this content ever and haven't send even one email like it in weeks); co0ntacted my internet provider (RCN Astound can't help me and told me to contact Thunderbird), I already checked POP & SMTP stuff...

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [VO-101] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.. Please check the message and try again."

What do I do?

I even checked that I had the latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird: yep! :/

A few weeks ago I began getting spam in my inbox from about ten senders (Omaha steaks, C0stco, Marriot, Harbor Freight, Harbor Tools, Ace, Lowes, CVS, Blue Cross) and no matter what I do, I can’t make it stop. In fact, the numbers have grown higher every day - probably now over 100. Marking them as junk doesn’t work. I have triple-checked all my settings. And setting up specific filters with these names hasn't worked. I don’t have a spam add-on but I see here in Support complaints about SpamAssassin’s ineffectiveness.

Is anyone else getting junk from these specific senders? Has anyone discovered a way to banish them?

MANY THANKS

Thunderbird 143.0.1 eclipse.

Quite recently I noticed that, in the list of folders, I see 2 "Junk" folders.

On looking at the properties for 1 Junk folder the location is shown as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Junk",

but properties for the other shown as Junk locates as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Spam".

I've tried renaming that folder in Thunderbird to Spam but the change doesn't take effect.

What went wrong, and more importantly how can I rename it to see it as "Spam"?

tnx.

Hi I get out to 3 dozen spam emails a day in my inbox. I want to know if there is a way to send these directly to my junk email folder bu using the providers address. For instance, if I get quite a few from say @yahoo.com, is there a way to set up the filters so everything from @yahoo.com goes directly into the junk folder? Thanks, Marc

Yesterday Thunderbird worked just fine. This morning I tried to respond to several emails and got this error message: Sending of the message failed '"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [VO=1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message. Please check the message and try again."

There was no spam in the person's email... just text.

Next I tried to send a freshly created email with just a YouTube video... then the last half of the error message said: An error occurred while sending: RBL restriction: Blacklisted by Internal Reputation Service - 195.181.168.179

What is going on??? The SMTP settings are correct: Port 587 STARTTLS Help!!

Hello: I send out newsletters to about 100 senior men golfers. I've been struggling with my messages going to spam or junk folders. My messages don't contain spam, but some mail servers are rejecting them. I've been working the problem (proper server authentication, DMARC, SPF, DKIM, etc.) but one of the suggestions I've read is to make sure there's an "list-unsubscribe" link in the email header. I've placed one in the body of the email at the bottom of the page (still fails), but how do I make a header in Thunderbird in which to place a link? Thanks for any help.

A couple of suggestions.

1) After opening an email marked as spam (by Thunderbird's spam filter), there is no option to confirm that this is, indeed spam. The email can be marked as "Not spam," but not confirmed to be spam. Unless I'm missing something, I have to go back to the inbox, mark it as spam manually, and then it is automatically sent to the spam box.

2) Assuming I understand the spam filtering correctly, once Thunderbird marks emails as spam, they remain in the inbox for at least 1 day (or longer if desired). I would like to have those emails sent IMMEDIATELY to the spam box, where I can still examine them to make sure they're spam before deleting them.

That way, the inbox will have only emails that either are not spam at all and those that haven't been marked as such.

As the system now works -- unless I'm misusing it somehow -- once the filter marks emails as spam, I still have to wade through them to sort out the good ones. In my view, that pretty much defeats the purpose of having the filter in the first place. I still have to "mark" them as spam again to get them sent to the spam box.

Perhaps I should note that this inbox gets dozens of spam emails every day and that I check it multiple times per day.

I have a filter that moves emails based on the Sender... to a Local Folder (*) The system is set to [Filter After Junk Classification]

Every new email moved (by the Filter) to this Local Folder is marked as Junk. I manually set each email as not-Junk but the issue persists. (*) I have added a Filter action (as well as the Move): Set Junk Status to Not Junk (but this is not successful)

Any suggestions to fix, are welcomed.

Fix the problem; how can I see all that are in the trash folder? I need to be able to delete the oldest ones and access those sent there recently in error. The display says there are over 900, but I can only see nine and the dates are not the most recent nor the least recent nor consecutive.

I am trying to whitelist a domain name. TB won't let me do that. This company has a plethora of emails. I don't want to whitelist every single one of them. That would take me days. It is impractical. I want to whitelist the domain name which is concentrix.com. I want to ensure that all emails coming from that domain name land on the inbox folder. How can I do that on TB?

I don’t want any spam filters from Thunderbird. “Uncheck Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account” never worked. https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/09/thunderbird-and-spam/ The message "Thunderbird thinks this message is Junk mail" still appears. I’ve deleted Bogofilter.sfd, DSPAM.sfd, POPFile.sfd, SpamAssassin.sfd, SpamPal.sfd from Thunderbird.app/Contents/Resources/isp. What else do I need to delete from Thunderbird to get rid of the message "Thunderbird thinks this message is Junk mail"? I’m using Thunderbird 128.9 ESR on macOS 15.4.

Hi, I'm talking about a POP account. Every time I empty the trash, either manually or by exiting Thunderbird, the "Trash" folder is being silently deleted, and from that moment on I cannot any longer delete messages, receiving a "not enough space" error. If exit the program, and trash is set to be emptied on exit, the next time I reopen Thunderbird there is no "Trash" (Cestino in my language, I have Thunderbird in italian) folder. In my ThunderbirdProfile\Mail\Local Folders the file "Trash" of 0 byte, keep being silently deleted. To restore correct functionality, I just have to create a new "Trash" folder under "Local Folders" in Thunderbird, then a new "Cestino" folder appears, and everything is fine. But the next time I empty the Trash, the problem reappears. I suspect something linked to Windows 11, computer was recently upgraded from Win 10 to Win 11. I tried with latest version 128.7, both 32 and 64 bit. As you can see from the screenshot, after emptying Trash, the 0 byte file "Trash" is missing. Thanks Antonello
