constant flow of old emails arriving

I get hundreds, soon thousands of each old e-mail I've ever received in my Inbox Windows Live. This dam began yesterday and so far my Inbox has each email read old since April. It will continue until I have find a way to stop it. And if I can't, I guess I'll have to leave these flows when I first registered in Windows Live (about 2 years). If so, is there a way to delete a whole box without clicking on each message?

Help! Thank you, Nora

  • Hello I forget pasword to icloud with my old email

    Hello

    I have a problem with icloud, which is to connect on my old email, where I do not remember password. I coudnt sighn on my iphone to put in place with the new email and password.

    If you are unable to remember your password, security issues, do not have access to your address of rescue or are unable to reset your password for any reason, your only option is to contact the Support of Apple ID, to speak to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID This way you can be attributed to the assistance, even if you do not have an AppleCare plan.

    You will need to be patient with the process and to be ready to prove without doubt that the account belongs to you. Do not expect access to be restored immediately and if you are not the owner of the Apple ID saved to the device the account will not be reset.

    Create a new profile and copy the one above him. See this article for instructions.
    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird#Create_a_new_profile_and_copy_the_old_one_over_it

    Your old profile is located under "roaming."
    For Thunderbird there is nothing that you need to restore from "local."

  • I used email TB. My Windows 10 has crashed and had to be reimagee. I reinstalled TB. How can I get my old emails in my new installation of tuberculosis?

    I used TB on system W10, very well. MS has pushed an upgrade for W10 and it totally screwed my system. I had to reimage my system with W10. That worked well, was supposed to keep my data but amazed my programs. This turned out to be true that I reinstalled my programs and data for them were always there. I reinstalled TB, has functioned well, currently able to download all new emails, but I can't find my old emails or my old profile name. Can someone tell me where to look my old data, if by chance its still there? I guess that's all my data was still there, but you never know people with MS.

    OK, think about it. Old profile is located in the Windows.old folder. You can move your old profile from the windows.old folder and place it in the current profile folder, and then go and change your profiles.ini and remove your new profile name and enter in your old profile name, then restart TB. Worked like a champ.

  • Why TB keep download old emails

    I'm running win7 and 38.3 TH. Every now and then, TB upload old emails that I have. How to avoid this?

    There are three cases I know, not the fault of Thunderbird.

    1. the email provider reindexes the mail on the server. (You can do anything, but becomes more common with Yahoo mail and those who use it as BT and AAT)
    2. your anti-virus interferes with the download of the Thunderbird point can't seem to save the State of POP downloads information. (Turn off email scanning in Anti virus)
    3. hard drive corruption that allows access to the State stored file impossible. (Run a disk repair utility)

  • Change internet provider; need to access old emails new e-mail address

    I'm about to change e-mail addresses of internet service provider and, with that, and I wanted to know how can I save my old emails from course providers and be able to access it once I have the new provider. I am always eager to see some of them, as many of them have information, I want to use before and after the passage. I don't know there is nothing I can do about it that emailing documents to more stable e-mail addresses and see it. Any help and feedback are appreciated.

    When you ask Thunderbird to create a folder in the directory 'Local folder', it is not associated with a specific account.

    You can move mail from any of your email accounts in these files and access full messages in their midst, even when the original account is closed. You can put messages from several different suppliers in the same folder "Local".

    Very useful when you want to group your messages by categories.

  • How to delete old email addresses is more correct to people who have new addresses

    I don't see a place or a way to delete old email addresses of people who have new email addresses.

    Firefox send an e-mail, it's strictly a web browser.

    If you use Firefox to access your e-mail, you use "webmail". You must seek assistance from your service provider or a forum for this service.

    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, let know us and we can move this thread to the queue of Thunderbird. This issue is currently in the queue of Firefox to get answers.

  • What happened to my old emails? Today thought Tbird that I was a new user and have been asked to set up a new account

    When I started today Tbird, I got a prompt telling me to set up my account. It was as if Tbird never had seen me before. There is no Inbox! So I created my account using my settings, I had recorded in a text file. When I retried my email, only 3 messages have been downloaded and none of my old emails were there, nor any of my files when I save e-mails depending on the subject.

    Then I went to Mozilla to see what was wrong. Apparently others have had it also. But the solution is incredibly complex and I think that I crushed my old preferences file when I recreated my profile. Is there a way to recover my old emails?

    I followed all your instructions, but I don't have my old emails back. With the folder 'see' troubleshooting information, I see Inbox.sbd and 3 files with the extension *.sbd and subfolders with names and those names with an extension *.msf. But I can't get Tbird to see these files. What I am doing wrong?

    EDIT: I've rechecked and my pointing to the right folder badly shot. Instead of going to 'mail.gte.net', Tbird watched a subfolder. I stressed in the correct folder and all reappeared, including my message filters.

    Now, how can I avoid this happening again? Should I just update this profile I made a copy of this morning?

    Thanks for your help! I was almost caught panicking at the thought of a lot of information get lost!

  • I can't find my old emails that is to say the last 4 years e-mails have disappeared. I can't see in the 'archives' folder list and also in my list of "local" files

    I can't find my old emails that is to say the last 4 years e-mails have disappeared. I can't see in the 'archives' folder list and also in my list of "local" files
    I recently formatted my system. It causes this problem? Is there anyway to recover my emails?

    Assuming that really format you your hard drive.
    Can erase you every single entry to a file, message, photo, program, document, etc. When you select format you get warnings on this subject.
    The format is the last thing you want to do without going through a backup of your personal and important files.

    Local folders is automatically created when you installed Tbird.
    And it is empty until you move something over there.
    (Your former local folder with all its files and messages has been removed under format).

    Only messages that are still on your server (stbeehive.oracle.com) can be recovered.

  • Once my domain name expires will I still be able to access my old email on thunderbird

    My domain name is about to expire, I am trading is no longer. However, I may I remind the old emails for the invoices, documents, orders, info etc etc. I will be able to access once the domain has expired?

    You must first upload everything to your server
    Export a complete file will contain all of your (local) settings, address book, etc., but also your emails with attachments as long that you do not move them elsewhere. Perfect for if things go wrong.

    If it is an IMAP account please move all your emails into local folders. As we do not know if you downloaded them on your pc or just look a headers.

    If it comes from a pop account, your only worry would be if your messages are still on the server.
    Even in this case I offered them to local folders

    And you don't have to use the addon on full profile, you can export a folder and its subfolder as mboxes, i.e. the TB-format natively. It's files without extension, .msd is the directory and .msf 's index

  • I closed an email account so want to delete the profile of Thunderbird, so it does not look for new emails, but I want to access old emails.

    Hello

    I want to delete an old email address which is now closed from Thunderbird, but I want to keep the emails and have access to them.

    I can see how to remove an email account, but where the email go and how can I access them.

    I guess a solution would be to move all the emails to a folder in another account - this is the simplest option / best

    You can move all the messages on the account to delete your 'Local folders' account or any other account you may have.
    Notice, in the event that you move them to another account which is be a one IMAP, these messages would be uploaded to the server.

  • old emails suddenly disappeared after removal of the old computer

    Yesterday, I moved my email account from my old computer OS ubuntu 10.04 to mint17 linux OS computer. I copied the Thunderbird * *.default c/o the profile.ini file. Everything went perfectly with my email account arise with all my emails that dates back a few years. Hearty Pat on the back to Todier when I went to look at the e-mails and found that only one, a new. All other e-mails have disappeared.
    I have read several posts and finally found the 'Archives' button and it installs on the toolbar, but my old emails have not been published in it.
    Can someone please tell me where they are and how I can get back them. The type of server itself has changed IMAP (performed the ubuntu configured Pop3). I'm not good with technical computer language. Thank you.

    Thanks Matt for your reply,
    I watched "Help menu > troubleshotting information and click on the show button to the profile folder" and it's one that I copied on the old computer. The problem comes from Thunderbird automatically configure my new email account with IMAP in my old account (in Thunderbird 1.5) is pop3.

    With the help of:
    https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/email/change-pop3-account-to-imap-or-imap-to-pop3, I have reset the pop3 account and then exchanged against the old profile folder (abc123yz.default) a second time and now I have all my old emails again.
    So problem solved!
