• Why will not erase the deleted messages in Thunderbird in FACT?

  This problem does not exist on my other computer or my phone when I delete imap messages, but when I delete this computer, even if it appears in the Trash of Thunderbird folder on this computer, it is not actually go in webmail or on any other device. Any ideas? Thank you.

  Re: when I delete emails from Thunderbird on the computer in question, they appear in the trash on this computer, but they do not actually delete from the server, they remain in the original folder (Inbox, sent).

  Quote:
  It is ideal for a message erased on an IMAP account or visible in webmail or other e-mail clients. Deleting a message just sets a flag, and it's the interface chart user what to do when there is a message when this flag is set. However, once Thunderbird compact (expurgated) this folder, the deleted message shouldn't be visible more webmail or any mail client, because it has been deleted physically.

  IMAP accounts offer several options to delete messages that are not available in the accounts pop tools-> account-> server settings settings-> "when I delete a message" a choice for "Move to trash", "Mark as deleted" and "withdraw immediately".
  end of quote.

  More information about the different methods are detailed on the link:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Deleting_messages_in_IMAP_accounts

  If you right-click on the eg: Inbox folder and select "compact", this should eliminate the traces of the deleted messages.

  to compact a file: right-click on a folder and select "compact".

  to compact all folders: file > Compact folders

  you set up the auto strike?
  Tools-> account settings-> server to select imap e-mail account settings: clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on exit that compress the Inbox folder when you exit Thunderbird. If you check 'Empty trash on exit' will also empty and compact the deleted items folder when you quit.

• Message pane Thunderbird very slow to load at startup RESOLVED caused by software malware newpoptab

  The use of Thunderbird 38.3.0 Windows 7

  When I run Thunderbird, the tools and the right folder pane display bars outside, but the message pane is not empty - no column header, no list of messages. It stays like that for about 15 seconds. Then the headers and the message list view, and after that, I get my new email. There is no performance problem after that, everything works as it should. There is only a problem at startup.

  I regularly compact mailboxes and I uninstalled/rebooted/reinstalled.

  This problem started two days when my browser has been hijacked and trying to undo, I thought that I might have deleted something Thunderbird needs, so I reinstalled, but that it was not fixed.

  Any ideas on how to fix it? And thank you...

  Just to close this issue - as mentioned in my original post, this problem started when a browser hijacking, and it took a few days to finally get cleaned. This Thunderbird problem disappeared when the last of the malware newpoptab has finally cleaned out of the registry. So, in fact, a step in the process of cleaning of Firefox has solved this problem.

• Thunderbird 38.4.0 very slow to open or delete messages (about 5 seconds) CAUSE: Bitdefender AV

  Very slow to open or delete messages in Thunderbird. Compacting folders, emptied the files Junk and trash, no improvement. Just improved 38.4.0 (about 3 hours ago)

  If you have not changed anything except thunderbird update, then it is probably caused by antivirus software. See https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird: test: Antivirus_Related_Performance_Issues and https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird: test: Memory_Usage_Problems

• Slow to delete message Thunderbird

  I am a user of Windows 7. Deleting messages used to be a very quick process little matter whether long or short, he had all the parts attached to, or built in links, or whatever. Now, sometimes fast, but most of the time that I have to wait more than 5 or 6 seconds before the end removal of the place in the trash. I've recently updated to version 31.3.0 which seems that it might have something to do with this version of my wife of Thunderbird 24.6.0 on his Windows 7 machine that receives the same messages with no problem. Y at - it a setting or fix for this or should I try and find the old version and reinstall?

  This sounds like anti-problem virus. The worst offender is McAfee, but none are completely except for questions. What antivirus do you use?

• Thunderbird, extremely slow download, delete

  Whenever I go to download it loads only one message at a time and it takes 5-10 seconds. Firefox works fine. I ran Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, and Bitdefender. No spyware or virus. It also takes forever to delete messages. This just started 2 days ago. I have re downloaded Thunderbird and re-installed.

  So how do you know if there is a virus in my email? Also, since he has just started a week ago and the anti-virus is the same and without impact on firefox, I'm a bit at a loss.

• I want to delete a large number of messages in Thunderbird. How can I do this withot through each message individually

  I want to delete a large number of messages in Thunderbird. How can I do it without going through each message individually.

  Have you ever deleted multiple files in both Solution Explorer?
  Thunderbird works the same way.

  Select the first message you want to delete. Press on and hold down SHIFT and select the last message should be deleted. This selects all messages between the first and the last of them.
  The Ctrl key and click on a message, you can select or deselect them individually.
  Then press DELETE to remove all the selected messages.

• Why thunderbird does not delete messages from hotmail?

  Hotmail messages continue to pour into my Inbox for several days at least after I delete in Thunderbird. Sometimes I have to go to Hotmail directly and delete messages. Why is this? and Thunderbird can be programmed to remove in Hotmail?

• Deleted messages do not appear in the Recycle Bin using Thunderbird 38.2.0

  I am running Thunderbird 38.2.0 who, for some, have solved the problem of messages deleted not appearing is not in the trash. I still have the problem. The server settings to specify the IMAP of Gmail server and the "when I delete a message" is set to move it to the trash.

  The attached picture shows the largest part of the structure of tree folder of the account... missing folders the additional.

  Any new ideas on how to solve the problem would be appreciated.

  https://support.Google.com/mail/answer/78892?hl=en
  Make sure that you have subscribed to see gmails trash folder.

  Deleted messages should go to [Gmail] /Corbeille.
  This will remove labels and store in AllMail until the trash is empty.

• Just as you can right click on 'trash' to delete messages, thunderbird will add the right click on "sent" to delete sent messages?

  Without opening the box to 'Trash' letters, you can right click on 'trash' and empty all the messages at once. When you right click on "sent" there is no option to empty all messages 'sent' at the same time. Thunderbird will add a button "empty sent" in the near future, or we will have to continue highlighting all deleted messages? Thank you

  I do not understand the case of use to be 'empty' available in other folders. I can't imagine why I would want a shortcut to "remove all" to the "sent" folder. These messages are part of a conversation; Why would you delete them en masse? Trash, OTOH, contains things that you have already decided that you don't want.

  In any case, point to a message in the "sent" folder (or any folder you want), do ctrl + a on the keyboard, then remove it button will zap all of the selected files.

• I believe that Mozilla Thunderbird is slow while sending a message by copying to the sent box. I have multiple accounts, so implementation of tiles help!

  I feel as many times is slow to send the message in Mozilla Thunderbird. Where, as in my Android phone, I could send a message very fast.

  One thing is implementation on the tiles on the homescreen allows to scroll too many accounts. The interface is too basic. Sorry if am not mistaken.

  Thunderbird sends slow by most standards, leaving the sending dialog box until he receives a message from the server that it contains the message, and send. Most programs send background and Thunderbird can do so, but reporting of errors in transmission is eager. You can activate the sending in the background by setting mailnews.sendInBackground to true in the configuration editor and sending of Thunderbird will be much faster. But you might want to watch the dependent bugs on this bug. before you "do" to make sure that you can live with the consequences. Most users will not have a problem.

• Thunderbird does not delete messages!

  I tried many Linux e-mail clients. The best is Thunderbird. Of course, it's not flashy out of the box and requires some adjustments to get it as good as the products Ms. But get there eventullay. However, one thing is bugging me and me trying to drop Linux all together and go back to Windows. Thunderbird does not delete messages. I tried the delete icon, I tried to hit the button Delete. Nothing works. I looked in the forums, many people's complaint. Some say, if you have several accounts, this happens. I have four accounts. He is pretty happy poor of thunderbird. Any solution please? Thank you

  When your problem has been resolved, can mark this thread as "solved" Please?
  Thank you.

• Cannot delete messages on mozilla thunderbird on Linux Mint

  I can't delete messages on mozilla thunderbird on Linux Mint, delete no options works, so for me I found a temporal solution, which is to create a new folder inside the Inbox and then move mail in this folder, and then delete the folder. However, I think that this is not a good solution to delete emails, so I want an update, if possible, for linux mint which solves this problem.

  Greetings,
  Fragmentado

  If the Deleted foldre is full, he would accept no more deleted mail
  Is there a "Deleted" folder in your folder pane?
  If so, right-click on the deleted folder and select 'Empty Deleted' then right click again and select "Compact".

  new attempt to delete.

  If this does not work... try this:
  Remove the current file from the Recycle Bin, you will lose all the emails in the deleted /Trash folder.
  Make hidden files visible:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders

  In thunderbird

  • Help > troubleshooting information
  • Click on the view file"" button.
  • It will open a new window showing your profile folder.
  • Close thunderbird now.
  • Click the mail folder
  • Click the e-mail account name
  • Search for files "Trash" and "Trask.msf".
  • Delete these files.
  • Restart Thunderbird

  A new trash folder must be created.

• How can I make Thunderbird store a value over a week of deleted messages?

  I want to keep all my deleted messages. Under "account settings > settings > Message storage server," I unchecked "emptying the trash at the exit." But only a week value of deleted messages are kept. The missing messages are not under "Archives". I use an IMAP via Inmotion.comserver.

  personally, I doubt inmotions assertions that their imap server is not configured to delete mail from the deleted folder after a week, after all the people who use Outlook appear in forums with exactly the same problem of inmotion.

  This is an experiment. Instead of delete archives (press instead of delete.) and see if the mail disappears from archive after a week. My bet not.
