If I move to a new folder, why it redownload all my emails

I have eight email accounts in Thunderbird set up as IMAP. It was to find work. Tonight, I copied e-mails to a flash as a backup drive. I picked a bunch of e-mails, right click and used the selection "save under". Now every time I have called TB or switch to a folder, it will download again all my emails. And there are thousands with attachments. What's happened, just by saving some to a flash drive? And how can I get this back?

I use Windows 8.
Thunderbird Version 24.4.0
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; RV:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.4.0
Profile folder
(Local disk)
Application version identifier 20140316131045

Over time, files get bigger and that is why whenever you synchronize, the file is bigger, so it may take longer.

Options to improve speed:

Delete email you do not need and compact (riffle) records to ensure that deleted messages have really been deleted from the server.

Archives of older emails. He then moves to another folder and reduced the size of the current folder. Then just choose to synchronize with these files archived to see old messages when necessary.

Re; "How can I do to stop this and download only when they are new? '"
You can configure it so that it only syncs the last number of days xx or xx number of emails. But I already gave a link to see how to do this.
See here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage

It is also possible that you have saved searches that also take place.
A search for an IMAP account folder supports both online off line research. However, the name is misleading: it essentially allows you to create a virtual folder. "Online search" simply means that the virtual folder is updated each time you open it. It is may also have occurred. You can disable the global search and delete the necessary files from the profile.
see info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Minimize_the_size_of_a_profile

E-mail POP accounts cannot see that the Inbox server. So if you were to create a Pop email account, it looks in the server Inbox and download everything in this folder. Subsequently, it would only download new mail has not been downloaded. These emails would be then stored on your computer, so you need to make regular backups. E-mails in other server folders are invisible by Pop email accounts, then you must move in the server Inbox, then download them, and then move them into folders named properly in Thunderbird; Repeat for each folder on the server.

  • Rename the question on creation of the new folder

    Dear Apple,

    To create a new folder in Photos (v 1.3 osx El capitan v 10.11.3) another folder is automatically marked for renaming.

    The newly created folder is automatically called "new folder" and does not have focus.

    Very strange as it may seem logical directly you want to rename a newly created folder.

    Thank you very much.

    Note as you've seen in these TERMS, you have accepted your registration here Apple isn't here - it is strictly a user forum to user with experienced users to help others

    Your question is not clear at all - in Photos when you create a new folder (menu, file == > new folder) it is created in the albums section (it is easier for me if the sider bar is shown - menu display == > display the sidebar) with the "new folder" name selected and all you have to do is type the name you want - if you want to rename a folder later right click on it and select Rename folder

    Please explain clearly what you are doing, what is happening and what you want to happen

  • Why can I not move multiple photos to a new folder in Windows 7?

    All I see is that you have to click and drag each photo one at a time in a new folder.  It is possible to select several photos and do a right-click or what not to send all the selected to a new location?  If I download 100 photos from my camera... I don't want to have to click and drag 100 photos in different folders.

    You need to do only one at a time!

    To select multiple consecutive items, click the first, then hold down the SHIFT key while you click the last one.

    To select multiple non-consecutive items, hold down the CTRL key while you click those desired.

    If this does not work for you, please tell us what program you use to view the photos.

  • Windows 8 will not let me move the AppData\Local folder to new drive

    All,

    I wanted to get my user account files from C drive which is a smaller SSD drive at most of my hard drive. I encountered several problems.

    A lot of trial and error, I was able to move each file of folder of the user account to an identical structure on my drive D (a "spinner"). Once I worked on all the kinks, everything worked without problems.

    However, I was unable to move the hidden AppData folder. I discovered there are three subfolders: roaming local and LocalLow. I was able to move LocalLow and roaming without problem. However, Local gave me problems.

    I discovered that the Local had some folders and files under it for which I have no permissions. Once I gained permissions for them, I thought I was on my way. The command to move the folder (using the Properties dialog box) has started working on the transition of 79 000 files. He moved all but 19 of them. He choked on all 12-15 files that have been opened and used by the system and the balance of the 19 had too long of a file name. So, I was disappointed.

    I then decided to create another administrator account and the sign of the current account and connect to the temporary administrator account that I had just created. I thought that I could then move the files because they would not be opened and used by the system. But, when I open the Properties dialog box, the LOCATION tab was gone, so I could not move the files.

    I need answers to two questions:

    • Why Microsoft would give the user a LOCATION tab with a NAVIGATION button, if it was impossible to move the AppData\Local folder?
    • Is there another way that a layman like me can change this setting? Can someone direct me to here? (Such as it is, 2 of the 3 AppData files are on drive D and 1 is always the SSD C drive.)

    Thank you.

    Matt

    OK, I fixed using a symbolic link. I moved my complete record of users. Here are the steps I used:

    • Create a folder on the "C" drive, called "this_is_c" and create a folder on the disk "D", called "this_is_d" - it is only for identification purposes in the later stages.
    • Boot from the Windows 8 Pro disc. (In other words, will not start hard drive.)
    • Do not choose 'Install now' - choose ' repair you computer.
    • Then choose troubleshooting
    • Choose Advanced Options
    • Then choose command line
    • The player that appears corresponds to the player 'X' - which is the recovery disk.
    • Type "C:" to switch to the 'C' drive
    • Type "Dir" and see if you see the folder "this_is_c".
    • If you do not, continue to change letters until you see this folder.
    • It worked that the 'C' drive during this "repair" was maybe the same as my 'C' drive when I boot normally.
    • Find the "D" drive through the same process - that is, try to find the folder "this_is_d".
    • It worked that the "D" drive during this "repair" was maybe the same as my "D" drive when I boot normally.
    • Type this command: xcopy/e/k/o/h/b c:\Users d:\Users see the next chip
    • First drive name must be the name of the drive as the "repair" attributed to your normal boot drive 'C '. The second disc should be burned as it would be during a normal boot. So, in my case, these conditions were the same. Note: use a capital 'U' for users instead of lowercase 'u' in users.
    • Type "D" when prompted.
    • Type the following command: rd /s c:\Users
    • Type this command: mklink /d c:\Users d:\Users
    • Type this command: exit
    • Continue to start.

    This will create a symbolic link that will redirect all actions to or from users on 'C' folder in the new folder users on "D". In regards to windows system knows, he is still sending the disk of 'C '. It is just redirected.

    This works perfectly for me. I installed apps and run programs without problem.

    It's a sort of understand. But it works for me.

    How does it work?

    When you delete a file on the FAT32 or NTFS file system, its content is not erased the disc, but only the reference to the data file in the file Table of Allocation or the master file Table is marked as deleted. This means that you might be able to recover files deleted, or to be visible through the file system again.

    Hello

    You have discovered a problem with Windows 7. To resolve this problem, I recommend a program called FileMenu Tools. You can download the portable freeware from here: http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/System/System-Enhancements/FileMenu-Tools-Portable.shtml .

    After having downloaded and installed the program, you will notice that, by default, each option is checked. I would be much more selective on this subject, otherwise your context menu will be a full page long! When the main window opens, you will see a list on the right side of all the elements that can be added to the context menu. Start weeding through the list and every one to take away, you don't need the United Nationsby checking the box.

    Once you have completed your selection (de-selections) make sure that you click the green check mark in the row of icons at the top of the left window of the interface to 'Apply' of your choice. The program can do much more, but that answers your specific question. I am told that the program has a good help file, so try here if you are interested.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards
