Corrupt junk folder

It's happened several times, but I've never managed to get this properly resolved. I hope that it is a problem that can be fixed in a next version of Thunderbird.

My junk mail is set so that junk e-mail for all my accounts (a dozen) is sent to a single junk folder in local folders. It of like that for 5 years and its working fine, but last week, although that emails are marked as spam, they stay in their Inbox folders.

The junk e-mail folder is showing a few messages, but it is 3.5 mb in size. If I fix it (right click, properties, repair, etc.) a series of messages appear in the folder, all not marked as junk. I can remove compact all, folder, but it still shows as 3, 5 MB. If I fix it again, these messages return.

It's a real pain having to manually delete these messages, and click on them in the inboxes, there is a chance that I can invoke a virus as well.

Is there a way to correct the junk e-mail folder, other than restart the pc (to stop the folder used) and delete it?

Any ideas what could be the cause of this occur and reproduce?

next time (and there will be probably) save a copy of the cause of the junk e-mail folder, if it's that small I get you email it to me so I can have a look at what corruption is exactly. My hope. Identify a cause the traces in corruption.

  • My Junk folder suddenly disappeared. Now all messages marked as junk in my deleted folder. How to restore my junk e-mail folder?

    I use Thunderbird for my email. I have accounts with Yahoo and Gmail. Recently, my Junk folder disappeared, and now all messages marked as junk goes in my file deleted, which means that it is all mixed with standard deleted emails. It means also that I'm unable to check for spam, without going into my deleted folder and search it. Please, how I restore my Junk folder?

  • When I click "not spam" on a message in the "junk" folder, the content of the message is changed

    the message seems to be moved, but the content is changed

    Re: when I click "not spam" on a message in the folder "undesirable."
    by "did not" I assume you mean 'delete '.
    by the "junk" folder, I assume you mean that the folder "Deleted" or "trash".

    I guess you mean:
    When I click "not spam" on a message; in the "junk" folder, the content of the message is changed.
    Until the message "Deleted" shows in the "Deleted" folder, but seems to have changed the content.

    Try to make the folder "Deleted".
    Right-click on the "Deleted/trash" folder and select "Properties".
    Click the 'repair file '.
    Click on 'OK '.

  • Unified junk folder don't show Yahoo mail even when added manually

    I put folders for unified. This shows the single folder of junk mail with the name of accounts as its subfolders.

    The list in the left pane is a bit like this:
    Junk
    -GMAccount1
    -GMAccount2

    All accounts are IMAP accounts.

    I also have Yahoo IMAP account where the Junk folder is designated as mass mailings.

    Default thunderbird does not believe in junk e-mail, so what I do is:
    (1) right-click on the unified junk e-mail folder and go to properties
    (2) the title of "Select records to search" I manually add the mail folder in bulk for Yahoo accounts.

    After adding, I expect that the inscription on the left side would become:

    Junk
    -GMAccount1
    -GMAccount2
    -YahooAccountName

    But it does not show YahooAccount as a subfolder. (Even after you restart thunderbird)

    But surprisingly, when I click on the unified junk of top-level folder, then it shows emails in "Bulk Mail" in the right pane.

    Which means there's a minor display bug that does not display the folders included in the unified folder.

    Please let me know if there are good solution or please fix the bug.

    Thank you.

    I found a solution:

    Goto YahooAccount properties
    Junk mail settings
    Destination and retention
    Check the movement new unwanted messages to:
    Other: Bulk mail on YahooAccount
    Restart thunderbird

    This average thunderbird knows it of the junk mail folder, then starts it displays under folder "unified Junk."

    This solves the problem, but I guess this shouldn't be necessary.

    Any account mentioned in "Select records to search" (in the properties of the unified folder - as mentioned above), should appear under this "unified record."

  • Help! You need to retrieve the Junk folder is empty.

    Sorry, I have no idea why someone refers you to the Firefox support for a problem with Hotmail / support Outlook.com . Firefox does is display the data that is stored in Hotmail, through Outlook.com interface; Firefox does not record anything - no emails, no record or anything. The only thing that Firefox stores is a cache of what has been seen to Outlook.com. You can try to clear the "hide" & cookies to see if that helps you.

    Note: This will be you temporarily disconnect all sites, you're connected to.
    To clear the cache and cookies to do the following:

    1. Click the menu button

      Click on the history button, and then click clear recent history...

    2. Under "Time range to clear", select "all".
    3. Now, click the arrow next to details to toggle the active details list.
    4. In the list of details, see the Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything.
    5. Now click the clear now button.

    More information can be found in article to clear your cache, history, and other personal information in Firefox .

  • When you use unified folders, the high-level junk folder indicates a number of 350, although there may be no spam in any of the accounts. How can I erase this number?

    I went through all the settings. I deleted and recreated the e-mail accounts. I have restarted Thunderbird. I rebooted the macbook. Disabled all plugins and Add-ons. Nothing gets rid of this false charge. This is what it looks like (sorta):
    Inbox
    Air currents
    Envoy
    Junk (350)

      account1 (1)
      account2
      account3
    

    etc...
    Any help or sympathy enjoyed.
