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

Hello I have asked this before but i did not get an answer i could use i did get an answer but it did not work. So i am asking again.

Not sure how to get to filters and change any thing. Thanks Please i need help thanks upset Thunderbird user

The last few days most of my emails have been tagged as ***SPAM*** and automatically moved to my Junk folder. I have to be sure to check that folder. I've tried "training the app by moving valid email to the inbox but the problem persists.

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.

Amazing that there is no topic for Spam, the most hated aspect of email. Mozilla, wake up!

Anyway, I want to be able to highlight a bunch of spam emails, then block all the domains they are being sent from, first checking to make sure nothing was sent from a legit domain like Gmail or Hotmail. Because the smart spammers acquire domains from which they can generate an untold number of email addresses from and they can just a different one every day so blocking an individual email address from someone like this is useless. They'll never use the same one twice because it's so easy to use another one. They own the domain so they control everything at that domain.

I've never heard of any email program offering this which is perplexing as this is the only logical solution to the vast majority of spam we are plagued with in 2025.

We really need an Add-On for Thunderbird as it appears Thunderbird doesn't seem to care.

I have turned off every junk filtering option in Thunderbird, globally and for each account, yet the application started and continues to mark nearly every incoming email I receive as possible junk -- even emails from MOZILLA... It is not my ISP, nor my email provider, as they are not filtering junk, either. The banner on the preview window says "Thunderbird thinks this message is Junk mail", so that tells me it is THUNDERBIRD that is doing this. How can I get the app to stop??? There are no helpful conversations in the forum, since I've tried all of the solutions that were presented. I'm about to just delete the app and use something else which is a shame since I've been using Thunderbird for probably 20 years, but I cannot continue if this problem does not stop.

HI.... HELP...Got Hacked... All of a sudden, starting a week ago, I get 60 and more, unwanted E Mails from people I don't know, & have to go thru & delete them daily.. I have a list of my true correspondents & can re enter them, if there is some way of one time, emptying the Input box or what ever, to stop this from happening, every day...........Thanks. Ken

Hello, I have marked a number of emails as junk in the Suspected Spam folder. Why are they not immediately moved to my junk folder? Or do I have to move the marked emails there manually? Or is it better to delete them manually immediately after marking them?

Best Regards

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.

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.

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.

Hi, until recently I used to get a reply-mail from my affiliate partner in my Thunderbird mail, but it's not working anymore.

I am trying to find a spam folder where I can check and possibly exclude that?

Please, help. Thanks.

I love Thunderbird, I think it is an excellent product all round, but one thing that really, really niggles me is that it continually marks certain senders as junk.

I receive Emails from these senders all the time, and often miss Emails because Thunderbird has marked them as junk, and moved them to the Junk folder, which means I don't see them on my mobile devices (IMAP).

I've marked this sender as "Not Junk" at least a thousand times. Each time it accepts my tag, and moves the Email back to the Inbox. However, that doesn't last, as the next Email, or the one after, or the one after that, ends up in Junk again.

I've seen a few posts that protest - this is not Thunderbird's fault, it's your Email provider, but I've already crossed that one off the list as I have white listed the entire domain at the Email provider. So nothing is getting flagged from the Email provider, to hint that it might be junk.

I'm always on the latest version of Thunderbird, and I have adaptive junk filter logging enabled, but it is completely empty of any logs. I also have "Do not automatically mark mail as junk if the sender is in "collected addresses" & "personal address book". I have a number of entries from this domain in the personal address book, as well as *.@domain-name.com, though I'm not sure if that format is correct to capture the entire domain.

Any help on this matter, gratefully received.

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.

I'm getting very frustrated with important emails being put in the junk folder. Nothing I have done prevents this behavior.

+ Sender is in address book + I have NO filters + Mail server does not have filters + Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account -- OFF + Trust junk mail headers set by: -- OFF + Move new junk messages to: -- OFF + Global junk settings

  When messages are marked as junk: -- OFF
  Mark messages as read
      When manually marked as junk -- OFF
      When Thunderbird determines that they are junk -- OFF

Enable adaptive junk filter logging -- OFF [ Reset Training Data ] -- pressed many times, no noticable effect

Thunderbird gives me the error "The current command did not succeed" if try to delete my junk folder.

I'm at my wits' end and ready to dump Thunderbird for something else. This is obnoxious and has caused me a lot of grief with missed important emails.

Is there a definitive way to turn this "feature" 100% off or is it time to ditch this app?

Does not "appear" to fundamentally address my question -- but perhaps with more granularity to :How".

I do not believe the "server" of the Hosting company (Hostinger) is moving email to my "junk" directory / folder -- but tell me more. How exactly do I -- "Access the account in webmail" -- and what is "webmail" (who? what server" accessed how?) Is that Hostinger? For this to occur it would seem that "my hosting company (Hostinger) would need to be aware of TB and the existence of a named "junk" directory (OR is there generic language / coding to "derive" the existence of a "junk" folder in TB or an equivalent directory in ALL email clients?

Is there yet anyway to "connect" all similar questions -- and all similar answers (using "AI"?) to find and fully parse out those needed "details" to somehow avoid wasting significant time "marking as not junk" so many normal emails -- no "white list" wanted as most are not from known senders.

Thanks,

Dru
