I-Thunderbird Community Forum

I've recently started having an issue where emails sent from my email account are being delivered, but some of them are ending up in the recipient's spam folder.

I'm using Thunderbird and the account itself appears to be working normally. I can send and receive messages without seeing any obvious errors.

I've already checked the SMTP settings, but I'm wondering if this could be related to my domain's email authentication rather than Thunderbird itself.

What should I check for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, and is there a good way to determine whether the problem is with Thunderbird, the mail server, or the domain's email configuration?

Emails from my partner, who has a very simple gmail address, ALWAYS go to the spam folder, despite weeks of clicking "Not Spam" for every single one of them, and whitelisting the address on both the Collected Addresses and Personal Addresses books.

Hello, I get oftem spam mails with a header like the following: from:Singles50 subject:Momenti speciali insieme per gli over 50 Reply-To:reply_to@miracel001.entrydns.org>

I tried to create a filter adding as personalized condition "Reply-to" that Thunderbird saves in the msgFilterRules.dat as: condition="OR (\"reply-to\",contains,@miracel001.entrydns.org)"

There is no way to get any filter working, do you have a suggestion on how to fix this issue ?

Thanks

Using version 154.0, all of my incming emails are going into my spam folder and my inbox is completely empty. I have turned off the spam assassin filter and the adaptive spam filter, but the problem persists. If I move a message from the spam folder to the inbox, it goes back to the spam folder within 3 seconds. I know that this is a Thunderbird issue because I uninstalled it and used my browser to access my email from my provider (runbox.com) and my inbox functioned correctly then. After I reinstalled Thunderbird, it somehow retained all of my settings and the problem persists. Is there a way to fix this?

In previous versions of Firefox it was easy to create a filter. Not anymore. I want to allow trusted addresses to come into my Inbox without going into Spam. Even when I follow (Google's AI) instructions exactly, all my medical information goes to Spam AND the trusted filter I created seems to have blocked dozens of browser choices in DIY sites, among others.

I just upgraded to Thunderbird 145.0 No longer have Junk Control Filter or any junk folders. Has this been replaced with Spam Control Filter? Do I need to reset training data this or does it use the old Junk controls?

I am a subscriber to a publication from the domain, Patriotpost.us. I expect The Patriot Post to be posted to my email account. Subscriptions to The Patriot Post are by confirmed approval only. The Patriot Post is not unsolicited email as defined by federal law.

Please advise me how to ensure that I receive The Patriot Post in my inbox.

Thank you, Jim

Recently started getting many more mails than usual. many if not all related to setting up an account at a site from which I had not solicited an account. some included requests to acknowledge charges to my account for purchases I had not made charged to payment accounts I did not have. Some I could not read because they were in languages I did not read. My usual practice is to read and then delete emails that I don't need, but the ones I am receiving are so numerous, reading each and then deleting is impractical. I need some way to delete by categories. I don't understand what is causing the flood of emails but I need to stop it if I can. Hidden in the emails I am getting may be some I need and if I delete by categories I may lose some that I need, but at the same time, it is impractical to read and then delete individual messages. mails Anyone have any idea what caused the flood of what appears to be spurious emails, is it some sort of scam or cyber attack?

My friend Ken has been using Thunderbird successfully for a long time. in the last 2 weeks, yahoo popups have shown up that prevent Thunderbird email usage. How do we get rid of them?

I've noticed a problem in which I delete emails in the Trash folder using the Empty Trash command. The folder appears empty for a while, then when I go back later to delete any new files from the Trash folder, many of the emails I've already deleted are present again. Suggestions on how to completely delete emails in the Trash folder would be appreciated.

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?

I have forwarded (from my Thunderbird account) an email from our local hospital about an appointment to my mailfence address three times now, but all three were deemed undeliverable by the mailer-Daemon. I removed all links on the third attempt in case that was the problem, but no luck.

Error code: 554 Rejected : Spam ?

For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.

How do I do that? Is my question. Is there a 'Postmaster' address to use?

Many thanks David Edwards

Starting yesterday, Thunderbird will not let me delete all the junk from my Junk folder. When I right click on it and select Delete, T-bird freezes with NotResponding and I have to restart it. Once I went through and used Delete on the individual files within the Junk Folder. When I restarted T-bird, it had moved all those files to my Inbox - several thousand of them.

Can I simply delete the Junk file at \AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\hxza0a1k.default-release\Mail\mail.aircraftdesign.com? Or would that kill the whole thing?

Any other workaround? I spent 4 hours talking to Network Solutions, they checked all my account settings and said it is all correct.

Since some time late last night (so about 16 hours ago at most), my Thunderbird account started processing filters incorrectly on incoming emails. A number of legitimate emails were detected by filters I had set up, and deleted, although they did not appear to meet any of the criteria I put in the filter. On editing the filters, I did find some with a criteria active on the 'from' address, containing, and with a complete blank in the text box. I am not sure if this meant they were picked up by the rule, but I deleted all lines with blanks in them. Following this, some emails were still being processed as meeting the criteria of the rules, although they did not. It does now appear to have settled down, but instead, messages that I personally deleted, are not appearing in the 'deleted emails' folder until after I close down Thunderbird and re-open it again. (which is a little confusing, but I am coping). At this point I do not need any assistance, so long as this strange behaviour stops happening, but I was trying to work out if it was something in my Thunderbird programme awry, or something at the mail server, and I have not been able to confirm either, so thought I ought to let you know. I usually install Thunderbird and Firefox updates as soon as they are available when the programme notifies one is available. I do like the appearance and function of Thunderbird, and appreciate what you do - Thankyou. Best wishes, David Church

I'm getting Spam Emails from about 10 regular Spam Accounts and I wish to Universally Block them by adding Them to my Filtering Lists. I'm using the * Character as a Universal Place Holder for the *@*.com, *@blah.blah.ca or com. The Filter works one Time then stops working for any fresh Spam. In other words, the Filter doesn't Filter any new Spam from these Addresses. Why?
