My Tbird mail file went suddenly from 1.5 to 10 GIG, how to fix?

I'm short on osx5 with an older version of you bird. Everything was going well for many years
and a month ago, the file of the mailbox that I save went from 1.5 gig (logic
Since I'm important material saved from several accounts in several files) to
more than 3 GB, and then today it swelled to 9 concert, so it is devouring my limited
available disk space on my laptop. I also get messages that the 'Inbox' is full, what's new,
but I can't say which of 11 possible inboxes complains. None of these inboxes
have over 50 messages in them.

I can materially cut this huge file, like a runaway process is
prevents me from doing deletions, asserting that "another process" block
My destruction. At the same time, the volume of the mail file continues to grow, which
threatens to lock up my laptop everything like disk space disappears.

Advice please

Compact in the menu file calls all records. Compact in the menu contextual right click only calls the selected folder.

Note that if you save the mail from line to white line ending with an EML file extension. Double click, it should see it open in Thunderbird if it is really all there.

  • How can I access an e-mail account on TB from another computer without delete/modify how the other account is configured

    I want to be able to access one another e-mail account is set up as a POP account on TB, but I don't want to change the way the other e-mail account is configured. My colleague and I often need to access each others emails. Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP, without moving his e-mails? Or it would require to change his account to IMAP? When I created his account of TB, I did a POP so there is no messages on the server at the moment. What I don't want, it's for his e-mails from his computer to mine.
    (He's new to TB and making crazy him - I already did that when I went it to Outlook)

    Thank you

    Is it simply a matter of adding the e-mail account on my computer as a POP

    Yes. And don't forget to check the option to leave messages on the server before accessing the account.

    That said, I think it's a very bad idea to share an account like this.
    Note that this will give you access to on behalf of your colleague.
    In addition you do not store only your own messages on your computer, but also messages of all your colleague.
    The same is true for him if he does the same thing.

  • Thunderbird replaces the FROM name coming from PayPal, why is this and how to fix it?

    This only happens to messages from PayPal, any other shipper. This happens on emails with a payment made for me. The subject line is the correct beneficiary name but the name FROM is changed and should be John Doe via PayPal, for example.

    Go to the entrance of pay pal in your address book and remove the name you have associated with it.

  • Thunderbird downloads e-mail alone, even though I have disabled this feature. How to fix?

    I have Thunderbird minimum in my new computer running Windows 10 the other day. I created my account to only check email when I want to, not when I open Thunderbird or every minute as much. I did this by going to tools, then account settings, and settings of the server, and then in the server settings uncheck "check for new messages at startup" and "Check for new messages every _ minutes." I then clicked on "OK". Thunderbird always check new messages when I open it and every so often during the day. How can I fix? Apparently, I have a Courier IMAP server, if that makes a difference.

    Also, go into server setting for this account and click on the setting on the server , click Advanced. Uncheck the box use the Idle command and see if that helps.

  • I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. Help

    I have copy of old tbird and seamonkey e-mail files with the files and emails for each. I need to add to new tbird install. can not find a way to do it. HELP PLEASE. previous e-mail files are under mail then mail.earthlink* .net and each of the five mail .net is an email address I have. I can't find a way to identify each file by email to the specific email address (IE mail.my E-mail name.net) so I can copy the files and emails from the past to the email addresses now under tbird. previous installed e-mail identities may not be the current configuration of e-mail files in tbird. I think that I must be sure that mail.name.net matches the previous mail.name.net to be able to copy and paste the old to the new. is there a way to find the file name correct the old email and correspond to the new? all my emails very important information are mostly in the old mail electronic id and must be available in the identification of email again (but same) how can I do this?

    If you have an IMAP account, go to Mail/preferences/accounts/box mailbox behaviors and make sure that the store deleted messages on the server is not checked. If this is the case, uncheck the box and see if you can remove the trash.

    If that is not working, go to Mail/trash, select an e-mail message and then control - click/Delete. Does it work?

  • I use windows mail and put so once I go to windows mail notes are deleted from the Yahoo Server. Now, all of a sudden, they go in the trash of Yahoo instead of disappering

    Windows with Yahoo mail.


    I use windows mail and put so once I go to windows mail notes are deleted from the Yahoo Server. Now all of a sudden, they go in the trash of Yahoo instead of disappering. I use Yahoo mail for junk and spam of the screen, empty the trash from Yahoo, then open the remaining notes with Windows Mail after the release of Yahoo. This has just begun.

    It is not clear if you use a POP3 server or an IMAP account - it sounds as if it were an IMAP.  I don't know how messages get tossed into the trash from Yahoo rather than be removed.  You could try to remove the account, closing and reopening of Winmail opener and then adding the new account.  This resolve sometimes strange questions.  Also check interference antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).

  • email and electronic mail files are missing... How to bring them back?

    My Thunderbird account suddenly disappeared. I have Thunderbird back, but all of my saved emails are missing. Some of the Inbox went back to June 20, returned in a single account, but all the others are missing. Sent folder is empty like the others. I can find where the files are located on the computer, but I don't know how to bring back them to Thunderbird, if I'm right.

    I don't know if I've been hacked or whether it is a quirk that can be fixed. If anyone can help me, I'll be really grateful. Thank you!!!

    My best guess what happened was Thunderbird lost track of your profile (for some reason any) and started with a new clean profile.
    You could recover the existing profile, but since you already took the trouble to recreate your accounts, it is not necessary.

    I can find where are all the emails/files, but I can't find a way to restore them.

    Install this add-on.
    https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/ImportExportTools/

    Then you can it use to import existing e-mail files of the old profile. Note that e-mail files are those without file extension, for example, "Inbox" or "sent".

    If there is anything else, you can retrieve it from the old profile, see this article.

  • By pressing the button Save on file open Excel from an attachment Windows - done he does nothing?

    My son opened a spreadsheet Excel of an attachment in Windows Mail. He then worked for several hours on the worksheet by pressing the button 'Save' on a regular basis. At no time, he asked for a file name or location, so he assumed that he recorded in the Documents folder. When he had finished with the file, he pressed the "x" to exit. He has not asked if he wanted to save the spreadsheet and so assumed that it had been properly registered. A few hours later, he went to open it, it had worked but could not find anywhere on our hard drive. It will be able to locate a copy of this file anywhere, or it is lost forever? If so, why on Earth don't Excel (or Word etc I expect) not asking you to save the file that you are leaving?

    In the future, you will need to save the first attachment in a separate file, then open it and change it.  Outlook (part of the suite Office) will allow you to open attachments directly and work on it, and save without problems, but Windows Mail is not part of the office and you can do that without saving the file first.

  • E-mail-restore items deleted from the Recycle Bin

    Hello

    I use the e-mail software that came with my laptop and Windows 8.

    I deleted some emails, which settles in my folder "deleted".  As I realized that I needed these mails, I went in deleted items, checked the box next to the item and choose "move" to the Inbox.  Now the e-mail message has completely disappeared, and I have no idea where it is!  I checked all the files, but after trying again with another email, I definitely selected Move and selected Inbox.  Once again, 2nd E-mail completely gone.

    Anyone have any idea where my emails went to, and how do I get it back?

    Thank you
    Fiona

    Windows 8 mail application can not use POP, so he had to be IMAP.  But just to be sure I looked towards the top of the help page of TalkTalk and of course, it's all (http://help2.talktalk.co.uk/how-do-i-set-windows-8-mail-talktalk-email)

    With IMAP, nothing is "stored" on your computer. It's just reading from the server in real time using Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).  Different suppliers to manage the folder IMAP synchronization differently (Google has a very bizzare which can (and by default, allow) email messages to 'inside' several files at the same time when an e-mail program reads from the server (which is intentional, it is useful if you like / use this type of installation).)

    But with TalkTalk, it seems more traditional, and change the e-mail program must be synchronized immediately return to the server where it copies the actions (and in turn send can synchronize the change itself to other programs of e-mail on your other computers/phones/tablets).

    Since this message seems to be missing, it can be synchronized in the wrong folder (it's a good idea to be looking for TalkTalk site Web-based email with any search function to see if you can find it and don't forget to check the deleted records / trash out there). Even if you don't remove them, some IMAP e-mail servers have a folder conflict or simply put all the problems of synchronization in the trash folder.

    If it is still not found at this point, it is TalkTalk asking if they can help to retrieve e-mail from their own backups.

  • Is it possible to recover hundreds of mails that have disappeared from my Inbox after it has been quarantined today by Norton Internet Security?

    I received an infected email this morning which resulted in Norton Internet Security quarantine inbox. All received emails are gone now from the Inbox (with the exception of two who apparently arrived just before the infected message).
    (1) is it possible to recover the E-mails lost without re-infection of the Inbox?
    (2) how can I avoid this happening again? Until today, the infected emails have simply removed by Norton Internet Security on arrival without all the previous messages being lost in the Inbox.
    I would be very grateful for help.

    you force Nortons of UN-setting in the file quarantine.
    Then, you create an exception for Norton analyzes the folders that contain your Thunderbird profile, so it is not repeated.

    Be aware that the infection is not as severe as the cure. Maybe you can find someone to Semantec to explain how an email in Thunderbird can infect anything unless you physically open an infected attachment that Norton should catch when it is written in the temp folder before opening.

    I lost a lot of time talking to corporate cretins to Semantec and they charge just "this is another line of defense" when asked for more details. Why, because they can simply justify not e-mail Scanner in any other terms. Enjoy it servers little or not by the challenges of usability and convenience.

    This "mail" was written on your drive hard until Semantec has managed to make a mess of things. It's a little late don't you think saying "you have an infection. Do they expect also for stuff in your browser to be written on the disc? You bet they do. Where is the preventive surveillance to data transmissions that prevents infection before it is written on your drive?
