Automatic deletion of old emails.

I recently had major problems, receive emails about my Winows Live Mail account.

I was told that, perhaps, my Yahoo account was overloaded with old emails.

I have now deleted all those, some 12000.

My Windows LIve Mail is now showing 10000 older emails that is just clutter.

How can I set up for the automatic removal of e-mails more than say 6 months?

You did you remove the messages from the box Yahoo webmail, correct? It is one that has been overloaded. You can not leave messages on the Yahoo Server, so this won't be a problem.

Menu button. Options | Email accounts | This email account | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server.

If it is a POP3 account, there no feature automatic removal of WLMail, one manual.

To remove all the: select one and Ctrl + A will highlight all. -Delete.

To delete a section: highlight the first one you want to remove. Scroll to last and click while holding down the SHIFT key. -Delete.

To delete several messages that alternate: hold down the CTRL key while you click each message in order to highlight. -Delete.

  • Can I import an old profile and prevent deletion of old emails that no longer exist on the server?

    I removed all the emails from the server and archivated them locally. A few days later, I reinstalled my windows, but I forgot to save the profile Thunderbird.

    I have an old backup, but whenever I try to use it, it doesn't (of course) delete all emails that do not exist on the server. Is it possible to avoid this automated sync or remove before opening the profile?

    Looks like you are using an Imap account.
    If you just try to save emails residing in mbox files (mbox files don't have any extension)

    Make sure Thunderbird is closed before doing anything in the profile folder.
    If you are familiar with the profile folder, you can copy paste the mbox files (without extension) in the account of 'Local folders' which is located in the folder "mail".
    and then restart Thunderbird. the indexing file (.msf) will automatically be created.

    OR
    Try to import them using a tool in "local folders".
    ImportExportTool addon:

    How to install the addon:
    Download file as addon for desktop or downloads folder.

    In Thunderbird
    Tools > icon menu or modules > Modules

    • Click the gear icon and select "install the addon from file".
    • Find the downloaded as file and click 'open '.
    • You have to restart Thunderbird.

    Make a right click on the "Local Folders" folder or another folder in "Local folders"
    Choose "ImportExporttools" > "file Mbox import.
    Select "Import directly one or more mbox files" and click OK

    Find the folder of mbox files backup profile
    Select mbox files, and then click 'open '.
    It has to import the folder containing emails.

  • Windows Mail is automatically DELETED once read emails!

    Windows Mail is automatically emails from DELETION once seen... they disappear and are not in any other file deleted, junk, etc... How can I prevent this from happening.  This just started to happen this morning.  I have contacted my provider Cox Communications and they had me enter my Webmail online and there is a copy of each registered email.  They told me that the problem is not on their end that I need to contact Microsoft.  I know other people who use windows mail who encounter the same problem.  This actually started happening on an another desktop that I have both my husband and my side... and only my email has started doing this several weeks ago.  My laptop which is my main computer had no problem until this morning... now all my important emails that had been previously seen but not deleted are gone and I need to get back them on my Webmail system? How can I prevent this from happening and then I recover the missing emails?

    Go to the Inbox > view > current view > show all Messages.

  • How can I get this program to automatically delete messages, he pulls my e-mail off my email online online?

    When the mails downloaded from my email online, they stay on my email online causing it do beyond its storage limit. How can I configure it to delete emails from my online account, once he sent?

    ENTRANTS: account1, (imap) mail.reforyou .net: 143, alwaysSTARTTLS, passwordCleartext

    Therefore your IMAP account. With IMAP, all mail is handled on the server, and what you see in Thunderbird is basically a mirror of what is on the server. If you delete a message in Thunderbird, it to is also deleted on the server and vice versa.

    "to delete the mails from my online account', you will need to move messages from the server to your local folders account.

    Since you don't seem to have any idea that IMAP is all about, POP may be the best choice for you. With the POP protocol messages are automatically deleted from the server to playback.

    You cannot simply convert an existing to a POP account IMAP account, you must first create a pop account.

    Note, if you do, you can download a large amount of messages at the start, and they will be deleted from the server and then.
