Move emails into local folders only removes them from the Inbox folder

Hello.

I use Thunderbird to check out and check all my mail for GMX.net. Since I want to only do this sporadically, I opted for the portable version (currently 31.4.0).) Download works very well and does move emails into local folders. However, when I checked the size of the Thunderbird folder, it seemed a bit heavy. Turns out that all mails were stored in two places - the Inbox folder of reception/mail (such as pop.gmx.net) AND in local folders (in separate files, reflecting the local folder names).

Is this a normal behavior, can I disable it and simply delete the Inbox file manually without break?

Here are the steps I followed:

(1) create a local folder ('Hello')
(2) ctrl + an Inbox in
(3) right click, select move - local folders - 'Hello '.

A lot depends on how you configure your pop server
What to do with the deleted files and if keep you them on the server
and what you do on files properties

And compact your folders

  • I can't move my documents in folders - I drag them on the record, but then nothing happens

    I can't move my documents in folders - I drag them on the record, but when I communicated nothing has changed and that they remain in the form of separate documents - can anyone help?

    Hi fulham404,

    I understand that you can not copy the files to a folder. I'm not sure where the destination is, but I would recommend that you look at the permissions for your destination file. As long as you are authorized, you should be good to go.

    Set permissions for the items on your Mac OS X El Capitan:

    Let me know if it helps. If it is not the case, give a little more detail as to where you copy your files.

  • Reconnect before proceeding... (No, just remove them from the catalog)

    I met the 'Media files have been moved because they were imported in your catalogue' and I get the search never ends for them.  How can I tell PE just remove them from the catalog?  I deleted these files by accident, but it's normal.  Rather than offer me the possibility to remove them and move on, PE seeks constantly over my hard drives and show up with the same list, he always does.  Just remove them and don't ask me no more!  How to spend it?

    I prefer not to keep the default choice of automatic search for the missing files. Open the Edit menu > preferences > files and uncheck this option. You will be free to begin a search, when necessary.

    Then use the file menu 'reconnect all missing files. You get a list of missing files in the window closing. In the middle of the second line, you have a small icon to open a menu in which:

    -You can choose all

    - then delete all.

  • How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup?

    How to remove programs from the system tray without removing them from the startup on Windows XP folder?

    Hello

    The first step is to identify the program that represents the icon and decide whether it should be in the system tray (most are not necessary). Hold the cursor of the mouse on the icon to see the name of the program that launches the icon.

    The best bet is to click the icon to see if this opens the box of the program options. If so, look for a selection similar to "remove from the system tray.

    Alternatively, you can hide the icons in the system tray.

    Here's how:

    1. right click on the taskbar and select "Properties".

    2. in the "Notification area" click "Hide inactive icons" if she already unchecked and then click on the button "Customize".

    3. click on the ' column next to each of your current behavior and choose one of the three behaviors for each program icon that appears in the system tray: "Hide when it is idle," "Always hide", or "always show".»

    If you hide an icon, but then see it again the next time that you log on to Windows, you may need to uninstall the program to permanently remove the icon. Uninstall the program permanently removes the program from your computer. For more information, see Uninstall or change a program.

  • Cannot remove messages from the Inbox

    I'm unable to remove items from the Inbox

    You did not mention what e-mail program you use. These instructions will help you with Outlook Express.

    Spend most of your messages out of the Inbox if you can and move the messages you want to record off deleted items, and sent items. Locate the OE message store and then close OE.

    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, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Deleted Items.dbx and Sent Items.dbx files and delete them. New files will be created automatically when you open OE.

    Compact all folders as described below.

    To avoid this in the future:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    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.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes.

  • keep the photos in icloud, but remove them from the iOS device?

    Hi, need help to keep my old photos in the cloud, then to remove them from my iphone device. I can also keep on my mac but still once, how can I make sure that when I delete from my iphone I can still access them in the cloud or on my big Mac? My phone is getting to the maximum it can hold up to now need to move them to a storage for later viewing device, editing or other.

    Thank you

    You cannot store pictures on iCloud and remove them from your device. Remove them on the phone also icloud removes them. You can set for storage optimized on your device that compresses the resolution of the device stored photos, keep the originals in iCloud.

    If you want to be able to todelete pictures from your phone and store them elsewhere, you must use subscription such as Dropbox cloud storage or store them on your computer.

  • IOS app in iTunes 12 deleting will remove them from the iPhone as well (iOS 9)

    Then... I have not been able to find an answer to this question and I'm a little paranoid to try it with so many apps on my iPhone 6.

    I am currently using iTunes 12.3 and iOS 9.2. I have about 60 GB of apps on my years iTunes download, and if I deleted a lot on my iOS devices they remain on iTunes. It takes too much space on my MacBook and the computer storage space is so low that my iPhone won't even upward.

    In short, that is the question in detail. I want to remove ALL applications from iTunes, with no desire to relocate, BUT you don't want that on my iPhone apps should be deleted. I tried this earlier and as soon as I hit him "sync" the bar at the bottom which shows what takes up the amount of space on the device deletes all applications (which indicates they will be deleted from the iPhone?). Of course, being paranoid I immediately stopped synchronization. My question is if this will actually delete the apps on my phone as well or they will remain as they are?

    Appreciate any help!

    Thank you!

    iTunes stopped copy of apps to your device in your library, and remove an application from your library should no longer cause deletion of your device. However, any application that you have downloaded from the App Store can be removed by the holders of rights without notice at any time, so that if you delete your local copies there is a risk that at some point you lose access to a preferred application.

  • Cannot remove Thunderbird mail all mail or the treaties since I changed my password for googlemail. Can't remove it from the Inbox and sent mail

    I recently changed my googlemail password and saved a nine on Thunderbird. However, when I try to delete mail messages or my project all the files they reappear again and I have to go in googlemail to remove. I can delete in the Inbox and sent folders (even if I was prompted to enter the password for each of them at the start, but I have received no invitation for projects and all messages. I don't want to change the settings regarding where these messages are stored.

    I thank very you much for your useful replies. I checked all the settings and they were as you described. Removal of all mail is not important and can be done, if necessary, from Gmail. I have overcome the problem of the drafts folder by changing the destination folder in the drafts IMAP that allows me to remove both Thunderbird and Gmail at the same time, which is what I needed. However, I still do not understand why change my Gmail password should have caused the problem in the first place!

  • How to remove messages from the Inbox in bulk?

    How can I delete messages received in bulk?  I use Windows Mail/VISTA.

    Yay!  I finally had to remove it with your help!  I chose the original email to remove then scroll down for the final message to remove, but before choosing it, I held down the control and shift together key at the same time, and then I clicked on the last email to delete, then selected the icon to delete (X) at the top and now the shift keys and command down.  It took several minutes to remove 2,000 emails, but I still 16 000 more to go.  I think I'll just delete them all at once... it takes maybe 15 minutes or more to clear them at the same time!  Thank you, thank you!...

  • I drag & drop my files for iCloud but when I try to remove them from the internal memory, remove icloud also.

    Hello

    I'm sorry for this question but I couldn't find the solution for this. My PC has 128 GB, so I need storage, I bought it on apple.

    I moved my all files on my mac to iCloud, okey. I can see my whole files Apple devices.

    But as you can see, these files still exist on my local...

    When I take off, it's suppression of iCloud and my local... How can I manage it?

    My goal is that, to clean my internal storage.

    This is how works iCloud drive. It is designed primarily as a method of data synchronization between devices, not as a storage cloud solution only. As long as you have the menu Apple > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud drive turned on, everything you add to iCloud Drive is synchronized between iCloud and your computer. There is no option to not have a local copy.

    A solution would be to make the Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive off and manually download files on https://www.icloud.com/ by the producers of your computer (for example, Safari). Allowing the files to be kept on iCloud without having a copy on your computer, but there are also significant drawbacks to this.

  • How do I save my photos of my cloud on my computer so I can remove them from the Cloud without losing them?

    On my old Mac, when I downloaded pictures of the Cloud they would save on my hard drive so I could remove my (fairly comprehensive) cloud and make room or more.  On this machine, it looks like they are downloaded, but when I delete the pictures, they disappear from my laptop.

    Depends entirely where you downloaded them and where you delete them.

    If they end up being in the library of your Mac is being synchronized to iCloud, then Yes, they will be removed from any place "in sync."
