Accumulate multiple copies of the same message in the drafts folder. How fix us this behavior?

My wife is the buyer for our company. She will begin an email to a provider at some point in the day and will build on it all day, alternating between enamel and the sites of system and catalogues and supplier of Point of sale (and other unrelated things) until she is satisfied with its agenda, then it will send it offshore. It seems that whenever she leaves the message that she made a copy of it is made in the drafts folder. Her, she'll have a dozen or several copies of the same project accumulating in there. This makes it cluttered and confusing - especially since she often ten different e-mails that she works on all day. (It's a complex world and she is a complex person!) The drafts folder becomes very full.

Normally, if she gets a message that she is working on the composition (a project), he asks if she wants to save it. She said yes, but still, all these earlier copies exist and do not disappear until she removes them manually. It can take a lot of time, and from time to time, she accidentally removes the most recent copy.

There may be a setting that fixes this, but I'm not. From our point of view, something is broken. Curiously, he does not on my system, but doing it on the computer in our store, too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Summary to reproduce:
1. start a new email and add text.
2. go off and do other work.
3 come back and add a little more to it.
4 make a few loops # 2 then go.
5. the email without sending output. Click on "save a copy in the drafts.
6 go to the drafts folder and it will have several earlier drafts of the same message.
7. While manually removing the excess drafts, accidentally delete the newest one.
8 jump up and down, cursing and throwing something to your spouse who has been unable to solve this problem on its own.

In the menu bar, select Tools-Options-Composition-General

Turn off the automatic backup option or set a time you can live with that.

  • Why Thunderbird adds an A at the end of sentences when I save an email that I work on the drafts folder and then open it to work on it at a later date?

    Twice now I work on one e-mail then saved in the drafts folder to finish later and I supported then out of Thunderbird. From the opening of Thunderbird once more and goes to the open drafts folder and to work on the new Thunderbird email, the first time had added an A or an EA at the end of each sentence. I then had to go through the entire email to remove these letters. Today I saved a mail to the drafts folder, as before, and this time when I opened the e-mail again an A had been placed randomly at the end of some sentences, but not all. Yet once I had to go through the entire email and delete adding A I have not had a problem with Thunderbird that in the past. This has been the case during the past two weeks. I received a laptop computer and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird on it, and it is the version that this happens with. I do not understand why the addition or the letters are added to the email. They are not something I typed in the email.

    I guess right, but sometimes, you can see an A type character when instead of an ordinary space, there is a space specially coded (and it is not decoding in a space of ugly).

    You type a space between sentences? If you type several spaces, it is possible that all but one of them could get specially coded because otherwise HTML will collapse into a single space.

  • Mail in Outlook Express 6 does not leave the box shipping and beneficiaries say they receive multiple copies of the same message.

    original title: Outlook Express 6.0

    Recently, when I send an e-mail message by using Outlook Express 6.0 three things happen:

    (1) he does not leave the Outbox, unless I have to go in and manually remove it.

    (2) my report of recipients receiving multiple copies of the same message (for example, received the same email 6 times)

    (3) my sent folder is not updated with the emails I sent.

    I'd appreciate any help that could be offered.

    Thank you!

    Your sent items folder is corrupted.  Move or copy messages from the folder that you want to keep.  Then close OE and delete the file sent items.dbx and outbox.dbx (hidden).  OE will then create new ones, and that should solve the problem.

    Because your files has been corrupted, you might consider backup before they get completely corrupt and in addition, you could go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a base of new messages, not corrupted, and you then go to file | Import | Messages and import them from the old identity.

  • Multiple copies of the same mail and "unresponsive".

    I have fought with Thunderbird for about a week now and have had no chance to solve my problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I tried all the suggestions on the FAQ page.

    Here are my symptoms:
    -Make multiple copies of the same email with the same time stamp.
    -Not pulling new e-mail messages.
    -Whenever I try to navigate upwards or downwards in the Inbox or open an email TB will does not.
    -J' got warnings from the following script:
    Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:323
    Script: chrome://messenger/content/mailWindow.js:179

    Here is what I tried:
    -J' completely removed and reinstalled TB (and recovered my profile).
    -J' have compressed files.
    -J' rebuilt the database world.
    -From TB in safe mode does not seem to make a big difference.

    Fortunately, I have access to webmail via my ISP and it works fine.

    Thank you!

  • Outlook express 6 sends multiple copies of the message to each receiver

    When I send e mali, recipients get multiple copies of the mail, may seem that if mail is sent to two people, they receive 2 copies, 3 people 3 copies and so on

    I suggest you post a much more complete description of your problem (including the types of e-mail accounts, how you select the recipient, how do you send the message) to the correct group.

  • Multiple copies of the same file

    I don't know it is a simple question, but can I, or rather, how I can have multiple copies of the same pdf file open?  I want to be able to compare pages, for example looking at a figure by reading the description in the text.  I tried the obvious way to open the file again, but it bounced just to the already open window.  Thanks for any help.

    Or try the menu option: window > Split - it will allow you to see the two views of the same document.
