delete archived messages

Hello
I have used thunderbird for a long time now, but I've changed jobs recently and it won't let me not delete archived messages, is not in my Inbox, but in memory.

I tried to remove trash and trash.msf, I tried to reinstall, I tried upward with the new files only but it keeps reinstalling all my emails since 2006, they do not arise in veiw but do when I search something.

They are now making me think passage using outlook. < < <-sad day

any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Hey Toad Hall

Thanks for the info and help.

your second option was that I used and I have deleted hundreds of e-mails, however, it's pathetic that thunderbird does not without having me too spend hours doing what you did.

I spent ages find these e-mails and delete them with your suggestion, but I shouldn't have too do this?

I was about to remove thunderbird, outlook but you got me and I thank you on behalf of Thunderbird, their support is useless.

We should have a Format button that starts again again?

Thank you
PS it retains all the passes email addresses. How can I remove, I have them all deleted where I can... thx

  • To delete the messages archived, but they all come back

    I have 16 000 in my mail client Mac "Archive". If I delete them all, they're going in my garbage can. If I delete the, they seem to go away, but then they are retrieved from Gmail.

    I already did:

    >>>

    In Gmail, go to the top right of the main page and where the train is click on the arrow down and select "settings".

    Now, go to label transfer and POP/IMAP, and locate the IMAP access section:

    -Under "when I mark as deleted in IMAP message select the 'delete Auto Off - waiting for the customer to update the server."

    Now go to the option below called:

    "When the message is marked as deleted and removed from the last IMAP folder visible" and choose "delete the message immediately.

    And again tried to remove my archives, but they come back. And my number of messages of rubbish grows every time.

    The solution (above) has worked in the past for some users, but has not worked for me today.

    I think there is a setting somewhere on Google do not have the folder to archive. From past posts, I read, is what needs to be changed.

  • ICloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    I'm an old Geezer Mac, but a Newbie iCloud. I just put on my two Macbook Pro iCloud email addresses and access e-mail through Apple Mail on both computers. Here are my two questions:

    (1) iCloud emails disappear at the time of my Macbook Pro when I delete a message from iCloud of one of them?

    (2) if I move an e-mail message to iCloud Inbox Mail at Mail Archive on a Macbook, can I delete the message from the second Macbook without losing the archived message?

    Yes, that is what is supposed to happen with an IMAP e-mail account.

    If you move it to a folder on the Mac, not in the iCloud account, you can remove safely icloud.

  • I can't delete some messages

    After trying to send an email with attachments to photo, I received a message that the file was too big and e-mail could not be delivered.  I can't delete this notification message.

    Welcome & thank you for your comments.

    If you have additional problems:

    1. move all the messages you want to keep out folders, sent items and deleted items, and in other local OE folders you have created for archiving (backup) of such messages.

    1B. move 99% of your messages in your Inbox folder to other folders the of OE, too.

    2. Note the location of the store of your identity (http://www.insideoe.com/files/store.htm#storemain).

    2B. turn on "Show hidden folders and files" via start | Control Panel | Folder options | View (cf. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial62.html).

    3. close OE.

    4. in Windows Explorer, navigate to your storage folder, find & delete the files Outbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx and Deleted Items.dbx.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    To avoid such problems in the future, comply with the following restrictions:

    N ' not use Inbox or sent items to archive messages.  Move them to local folders created for this purpose.

    -Empty the deleted items folder daily.

    -Frequently perform a manual compact of all OE while records that "work offline".  More on http://www.insideoe.com/files/maintain.htm

    -Do not cancel automatic compacting, where it would happen and do not try to close OE via Manager tasks or stop your Automatic compaction machine can take place.

    -Disable e-mail scanning in your antivirus application.  It can cause corruption (i.e., loss of messages) and offers no additional protection:

  • Thunderbird has deleted my messages "deleted" instead of put them in a folder

    I use Thunderbird in IMAP on a laptop running Vista. Recently, I used several Thunderbird on a laptop under XP. He doesn't have a problem - I've done it before. However, when I went back to my original Vista laptop, I found that I was now two folders called "deleted", but when I deleted a message from my Inbox it will not be sent to one of them. I then tried to remove the most recent 'deleted' folder but found that instead, I had deleted the original! It is annoying because it was full of messages that I would normally leave for 30 days.

    Still, my deleted messages are not sent to any folder. If I try to select another folder that "deleted", it does not send them there no more.

    How can I return to the status quo? And is it possible to recover the original "deleted" folder and make sure that I have remove the last?

    DavidSorge said

    Professionals tear he hair on that kind of stuff.
    My guess is that Thunderbird on the computer created XP file "deleted" you see on the Vista computer, more specifically, what IMAP has created. When you opened the TB on the machine Vista IMAP updated TB to reflect changes made on the XP machine. IMAP will not let you delete the folder because it is linked to TB of XP. And as you discovered one created with Vista deleted without problem. One of your computers is acting as "Administrator", or primary. The other is a client of all kinds. When you set up IMAP from your computer the software makes a few assumptions. One computer (Vista) is the principal. Then you have the other computer system related. You have synchronized upward with the Vista machine. Insofar as the "Deleted" message goes, it's possible there are two. A he stayed right where he is and two that he disappeared. If its still in your Inbox, then it probably means that you, the user of Vista, mark it for deletion, and all that remains is for the XP user, it would be you, delete. Don't forget, IMAP think there two users on this email account. If it is gone so it's time for hair removal. Have a friend send e-mails with text in the body in order to distinguish them and do some experiments. Nothing but a good experience. It's Google; "The differences between POP and IMAP. IMAP allows users to store their email on remote servers. This bilateral protocol allows also the user to synchronize their e-mail among multiple devices, which is extremely important today, when most people have at least two devices - their laptop and the smartphone". IMAP, reiterate, doesn't know that you're on both devices. Put "POP vs IMAP" (without the quotes) in Google. There are several links on the subject. Either way, if you just put IMAP in the search box, you will get a page of a person named Imap. When you and I would ask what Imap do you hear, Google brings just imap pages read more. I say all this to check your settings. If none of this helped, I'm sorry. Write new and in detail what you did and what happened. More is better. Good luck

  • When I delete a message that is part of a thread, how can Thunderbird 38.0 I delete a single message?

    In the new 38.0 Thunderbird, I can't simply delete a message if I was sending and receiving messages back & forth with someone using the button answer. When I click to delete a message, it tells me that all messages in the thread will be deleted and my only options are to cancel or delete them all. How can I remove just a message from a thread?

    Thank you!

    If you have your e-mails showing that "thread", you will get the issue you discuss.

    So remove the threading and then delete the specific emails.
    You can do this by clicking on the column header icon 'display messages '. It is usually the first column heading.

    or select "no":
    'View' > ' sort by ' > 'unthreaded.

  • Sometimes when I delete a message, the message is deleted until I see it. Not always, but often.

    When I delete a message in the Inbox, sometimes the message is deleted at the same time. Not always, but often enough to be annoying. I have to go to the trash to read it or get it back.

    Try a new mouse. Sounds like your wrong and deliver a double click when you click.
    If you can press Delete on your keyboard and remove only 1 message then its your mouse.

  • Thunderbird deletes the messages from the server if I said not to do so.

    I use a POP3 server and have 'leave messages on the server - until I delete"checked but Thunderbird is still deleting messages from the server before my other e-mail viewer gets it.

    If my other program (from MR2ICE under OS2 on another machine) Gets the first messages, I'll see them on both machines.

    If Thunderbird 'em first I don't get them on the other machine, and, when I check via webmail, they aren't there.

    Thank you.

    If you want to see messages on several machines, POP is not the best choice. You choose to use POP, or is it you imposed by the e-mail provider?

    I don't have a job here POP account to check with, but you can try with the option ' until I have delete ' unchecked? You doing anything with messages, such as moving them to another folder?

    I've never been confident with the way that ' until I have remove the ' works; If a message has been moved out of the Inbox to another folder, and you remove it, a request to delete the message always spread on the server?

    With IMAP, by moving a message to a folder in account to somewhere the IMAP server can not see it is actually a deletion; the server can no longer see the message, so syncs by removing its own copy of this message. I haven't checked through what a POP server is in similar circumstances.
