Don't ask me again on compacting folders

Whenever I delete an e-mail from the Inbox, I wonder if I want Thunderbird to automatically compact folders. Is it possible to stop this?
When I compact my files everything that happened was losing all my emails, apparently for good so I never do this again!

In the toolbar > Options > advanced > network and disk space. and compact auto power off.

You will need to probably first notice lack following mail when you click on mail and it is simply not displayed. We see a lot of that here as well. It of the same loss of data, without the re-indexing causes compaction. A bed of mails that already existed.

If you have seemed to lose mail in the past, it is usually because at one point in the past. Before compacting your anti virus program has removed all mutant trying to destroy some risks invented.

The folks over at svmantec have been completely indifferent when I tried to address their destructive tendencies. The fact that click on allow Norton to fix deleted any Inbox dating for years to remove something that was totally inert apparently was Ok. And it must be! Customers continue to give their money and by publishing the complaints year after year, or as you blame something else entirely.

For the year people come here with three misconception.
1 thunderbird loses regularly mails. I used it almost 10 years and my household is rubbish. (a few 18 000 emails in my Inbox consuming about 2.3 GB of storage) I've never lost a mail unless I did something stupid first and then only once or twice. He sends the past Thunderbird has certainly had problems of file over 4 GB in size and lost. This is no longer the case.

2. what compaction does something on the compression of mail. It is not compression is the compression. A nuclear explosion creates a compression wave that compact removable items. Similarly, compaction in Thunderbird takes a sparsely populated data file and place messages closer together by removing deleted messages used to occupy the space.

3. that their anti virus program is actually an interesting product. Most of the problems with mail, data loss and inexplicable reboots or programs and windows itself can be parked just in front of the doors anti virus vendors. That's why Microsoft are really trying to squeeze out them quietly and without any finger pointing. This would create any dispute. So, we get Microsoft Security Essentials, then Windows Defender, now of Microsoft Family protection. None of these are better than the third-party products and often leave gaping holes. But they result from the fact that gives Windows anti-virus software a bad reputation. Mac users are not something like windows for questions users suffer in connectivity, and it's not because OSX is really better.

  • Compacting folders in OE6 seems corrupt

    I work to stabilize the system OE6 to my wife before the cloning of a new system and the migration to Outlook. The problem is that OE will ask compact folders to closing it. If I leave it, never complete, requiring a forced nearby. Then the DBX files are corrupt and the messages are lost. (I once had this loss and fear now allow any compacting folders, even if this seems to be required servicing for OE users). As a result, I'm afraid to leave records to compact.

    If I can clone OE to another system (of security), then I have matter the OE message store in Outlook (in a PST file) and, finally, bid farewell to OE6 forever.

    Any offer of help or pointing me to resources of knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

    Compaction hangs on Folders.dbx after installation of the SP3 for XP
     
    It is a known problem and will never be solved. As a result, compact your folders manually. The counter will be reset, and a compact manual won't hang it.
     
    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.
     
    If you have the habit of compaction before 100th closing, (i.e. once a week or more), you will never see the prompt again.

  • Gel after compacting folders

    Hey guys

    I had the huge profile (due to very large inboxes) folder and despite this, the performance of Thunderbird was awesome.

    The problem is that my installation is on a SSD where space is very limited and I went compacted all folders on all accounts (I have 3 email accounts).

    The reclaim space was huge! I managed to recover about 10 GB of all accounts, I have so been happy as a puppy from here there!

    The problems started the next time I open Thunderbird! Now, my Thunderbird takes something like 10 minutes to open and be ready to work!

    I have run the client and after launch it freezes just for 5 to 10 minutes without being able to do anything... After this big that short time without lag or slowdown, it is only during the launch!

    As you can imagine it's horrible when you are in a hurry to send an email or check an urgent e-mail that await you...

    I already thought to delete the files from my profile and let Thunderbird recreate them again, but I was trying to avoid this.

    Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    Compact writes new files. and removes the 'old'. If your anti-virus is analysis of the profile folder, it could be he's always trying to digitize and Thunderbird and there are fighting for who gets access. That is why the terrible performance.

    What? This makes no sense... As soon as new files are created, they are scanned and since he only found is nothing, they don't if analyses again until they are changed. As it happens also before compacting, so if this would be the case, the behavior would be the same before compacting!...

    If complete analysis of your cleats of logic. Anti virus scanners usually take around 10 minutes per GB and a 4 GB e-mail folder is not all that uncommon. Given a 40 minutes required to scan that folder/file. How long to analyze your full profile? Also note that the overall messages database is often a multi GB file that is updated on every send or receive. Thats why he is eligible by virtue of your logic for a new analysis about every 10 minutes while you use the program, if not more often. and will likely 10 times which scanner is completely.

    It is for these reasons, it is recommended that the profile folder are exempt from anti virus access program as well as update scanning.

    I understand your logic and I understand what you're trying to say, but it does not always meaning pertaining to this particular situation!

    Yes I know antivirus could be vying for access to the file, but my profile is set as an exception in my antivirus (using this machine is built in windows defender on windows 10).

    So, following your logic, my profile folder now occupies about 12 GB after compacting. And before the compaction has been MORE than 20 gbs! So according to your logic, it should be much worse before the compaction of the records only after!

    And as I've already said, before the compression load time program was almost instantaneous! now, it takes 5 to 10 minutes! Understand?

    Look, I'm a computer engineer, I'm not a stupid user who do not know that talk, and it makes me MAD when moderator can give an answer like that in this situation!

    But don't worry, I found a solution by myself, simply delete the file from the Inbox in the profile folder and let Thunderbird download e-mail at the request and now he is great to work again.

    I'm Mark as resolved.

  • After using groups of tabs earlier today, now whenever I close FF with more than 1 open tab, FF don't ask me to confirm before closing

    After using groups of tabs earlier today, now whenever I close FF with more than 1 open tab, FF don't ask me to confirm prior to closing. FF always asked me to confirm in the past and no settings have been changed before you try tab groups. Then when I open FF it again all the tabs I had open are still there. I tried refreshing FF and erase history, but that did not work. It's almost as if FF think windows and tabs I have open are a group of tabs, and he won't let me get rid of this group. How to stop groups of tabs now that I have them? Or is there something else? None of this was going on until this morning, I played with tab groups. I was curious what it was - it's going to make me kill one of these days lol.

    Note that using "show my windows and tabs from last time" as the start setting will also prevent Firefox to display an alert when you close the window.

  • Firefox don't ask to save tabs on exit and display them when restarting.

    Close a FF4 session with several tabs, don't ask me to save the tabs and so they do not show again on restart.

    In Tools-Options-Privacy, I unchecked
    Remember my browsing history
    Clear history of Firefox closing

    The other options are checked there.

    I checked in Tools-Options-Tabs
    Warn me when closing multiple tabs.

    My settings are incorrect? Basically I want the tabs open forthcoming session to another, but I don't want any other history to keep.

    A Firefox 4 is from Firefox showing the default warning message will stop, but it can be turned on again by changing some preferences.

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press on enter
    2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    3. Find browser.tabs.warnOnClosepreference, if its value is set to false, double-click on it to change its value to true
    4. Repeat this step for these 2 preferences browser.warnOnQuit, browser.warnOnRestart
    5. From beta 12 there will be an additional preference that must be set to true - browser.showQuitWarning

    Outlook Express 6 just ate the value of year of my emails.  They seem to have disappeared.  This happened after I was asked if I wanted compact (or was it archive?) my emails.  All hope of recovery?

    Thank you!

    Please read this in its entirety. It includes the restoration of the trash.
     
     
    Two reasons the most common for what you describe is disruption of the compacting process, (never touch anything until it's finished), or bloated folders. More about that below.
     
    Why OE insists on compacting folders when I close it? :
    http://www.insideoe.com/FAQs/why.htm#compact
     
    Why mail disappears:
    http://www.insideoe.com/problems/bugs.htm#mailgone
     
    Recovery methods:
     
    If you are running XP/SP3, then you should have a backup of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin (or possibly the message store), copied as bak files.
     
    To restore a folder bak on the message store folder, first find the location of the message store.
     
    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, the .dbx files are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in the Solution Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder options | View.
     
    Close OE and in Windows Explorer, click on the dbx to the file missing or empty file, then drag it to the desktop. It can be deleted later once you have successfully restored the bak file. Minimize the message store.
     
    Open OE and, if the folder is missing, create a folder with the * exact * same name as the bak file you want to restore but without the .bak. For example: If the file is Saved.bak, the new folder should be named saved. Open the new folder, and then close OE. If the folder is there, but just empty, continue to the next step.
     
    First of all, check if there is a bak file already in the message. If there is, and you have removed the dbx file, go ahead and rename it in dbx.
     
    If it is not already in the message, open the trash and do a right-click on the file bak for the folder in question and click on restore. Open the message store up and replace the .bak by .dbx file extension. Close the message store and open OE. Messages must be in the folder.
     
    If messages are restored successfully, you can go ahead and delete the old dbx file that you moved to the desktop.
     
    If you have not then bak copies of your dbx files in the Recycle Bin:
     
    DBXpress run in extract disc Mode is the best chance to recover messages:
    http://www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/default.aspx
     
    And see:

    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#4
     
    A general warning to help avoid this in the future:
     
    Do not archive mail in default OE folders. They finally are damaged. Create your own folders defined by the user for mail storage and move your mail to them. Empty the deleted items folder regularly. Keep user created folders under 300 MB, and also empty as is possible to default folders.
     
    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the CPUs, slows down sending and receiving and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs, account setting changes and has even been responsible for the loss of messages. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:
    http://www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

    Adobe has disabled the server activation for pre CS3 products a long time ago and that's why you are unable to activate your product. I can not to suggest what to do, but I don't know that CS2 owners with this problem can download a version specially created that doesn't require activation. To my knowledge, no such version exists for CS. If it was me, then as the real owner of the software and just unable to use it due to having no mechanism to activate, I download CS2 and use it until someone from Adobe told me to stop. It is a sensitive issue because the download site clearly indicates that there must be an existing CS2 owner. However, the url to the download was posted the pirate not many Adobe Web sites not as a way to free download the CS2. I imagine that there have been hundreds if not thousands of downloads from 2013 when it became first available and so far Adobe has not made any attempt to restrict the download to current owners of CS2. Their policy is quite clear if CS2 is not given away for free. Fortunately, I use CC2015, I can't make a call on it, but the URL is below if you want to move forward.

    Hello, last year I bought the cloud for students for R$ 528 (Brazilian money), now, a year later you guys just send a new price on my credit card automatic R $ 700, and you guys don't ask me anything, just sent the new automatic price!

    The renewal price you pay is valid for 12 full months.  After that, we will renew your contract automatically unless you cancel. The price is subject to change, but we will always notify you in advance.

    Any promotional creative cloud pricing is valid for one year and at the time of renewal, the regular price applies.

    For example, customers with a product of CS3 - CS6 can get full creative cloud for £27,34 per month for the first 12 months, then prices would revert to the normal price which is £46.88 / month

    You currently have a plan simple app for £17.58 / mth - it is usually price, not an introductory promo price.

  • Firefox Password Manager don't ask if it should save passwords - RESOLVED

    I used both Keefox and Secure Login at the same time. Probably the wrong thing to do, but they don't seem to be in conflict. However, I have no doubt eventually will go with only Secure Login (in collaboration with the FF password manager).

    For the most part, Secure Login works well because I have many saved PWs (and none listed as exceptions, or I'm doing private browsing); and, where appropriate, get framed gold deposits that fill up when you click the Secure Login key on the toolbar. However, I just discovered a site of Wells Fargo (https://www.wellsfargo.com) I have to sign in the fact that I think the set-up of an account. However, Manager of PW FF don't ask me if I want to save the name of user/pw? In other words, after you have entered the user name and pw, FF password manager is not asking that these fields do not forget. Cannot understand why not because he asked me to save other sites PWs? BTW, I've disabled Keefox, didn't erase cookies, but still fresh, started no PW guest record.
