Thunderbird downloaded 3000 old messages yesterday... why?

A Thunderbird download unsolicited messages have resulted in about 3000 messages download yesterday.

What would cause this? I was storing some files limit... somewhere? I have a virus or something like that?

Thanks for any advice or help.

There is a file in your profile called popstate.dat that Thunderbird uses to "remember" where are included with downloads. If it is corrupted in some way what you see occurs.

  • Thunderbird download that old messages of 11 months.

    2 days ago Thunderbird has lost all this years email. He does, however, show all past years emails (which must be archived or deleted.)

    I can not remove them (last years messages) but Thunderbird will then quickly download it again, and my Inbox is re-filled with messages from 2014.

    It's as if my PC is stuck in a time warp and think it is Sunday, July 13, 2014. (today it is Friday, June 12, 2015)

    I myself have sent by mail, and the message goes out and can be seen if I connect to my ISP e-mail account.

    Any iodeas?

    I look forward mail BT, hosted by Yahoo useless. My PC just re-uploaded all of the 2,500 + emails last 13 months. Sorry to bother.

    BT: GET YAHOO! They suck!

  • Thunderbird download the same message, off guard popstate.dat antivirus, renamed to old, still have the problem. Ready to upgrade to Outlook or another prog to mail.

    Read about other similar problems in the forum, tried the possible one - Disabled popstate.dat antivirus solution, renamed popstateold.dat, TB closed, reopened to he downloaded e-mails until the more recent with the problem and still trying to download it again and again. Can't download at the end, as refreshment shows always the same amount still on the server to download, even after downloading the same message several times. This has happened several times in the past months, with several duplicates, but not this loop continues. This is the second time in a week where this has happened. My first attempt to fix - I copied all the .msf files to the new location and uninstalled TB. Then reinstalled and back .msf files. He seemed to be ok for a few days, but now have the same issue. All windows updates to date, was updated to the most recent version of TB before it happens.

    Try to connect to your account via webmail and delete the problematic message.

  • Almost everytime I open TB it downloads my 'all messages '. Why? He sometimes TB freezes until full! Help

    From one day to the next, I usually left my TB. When I open it in the AM, it downloads almost always "all messages". Often, it freezes my email for a few minutes until the download is almost complete.

    Do you even need to see your mail folder all? I would suggest churn it and does not unsubscribed folders.

    I also suggest create you an account Bugzilla and CC yourself to this bug

  • Thunderbird is re - download old messages as if they were unread.

    Updated Thunderbird to upgrade to the latest version of the next day. I deleted all the .msf files and unchecked "leave messages on the server." I can't delete the file popdat because TB still téléchargerais the old messages of 40 k and which will crash the system and take days to remove. It is clearly a bug in the new version of tuberculosis.
    How to solve this? Thank you for all the new ideas.

    I don't have no idea of what MSF files would help because they are indexes for your stored mail already downloaded files. You say nothing about the index being corrupted. So I'll ignore it.

    However, the popstate.dat file, contain the status of the downloads from the server. If anything it either corrupts the file, not him being written or chops the offline before it can be written then what you see happens. For future prevention, you must exclude this file anti virus scan, and probably you should also disable your antivirus scanning mail, because the hash of the connection is the likely cause so it would be the culprit.

    This addon will help get rid of the duplicates.

  • 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?

  • Thunderbird downloads all messages from the server

    I use Mailwasher to pre-select my email. He shows me all messages queued on the server.

    After that I used mailwasher to delete all the spam etc, I then go to Thunderbird and GET the MESSAGES.

    SOME but NOT ALL messages are downloaded. I don't see anything different about who is 'ignored' - they have no attachments or weird content or anything like that.

    I hope someone can help

  • Thunderbird guard loading of copies of old messages

    When I connect to Hotmail, thunderbird downloads all files in e-mail, as if they aren't already on my system. If I run a file of deleting duplicates, it did the same thing brand new the next time it checks the mail.

    POP or IMAP? I ask, but he really only logic, if the account uses pop.

    You use CCleaner or any other software "ranger"?

  • Thunderbird guard download the same message, but will not download any other message. How can I fix it?

    I have 72 emails to download, but it only downloads the first message and then stops and says no more messages. Tried to download these messages at least a dozen times, but get just one. I ran my antivirus, spyware and programs malicious, but it did not help.
    Suggestions?

    Disable the e-mail scan in your anti virus suite.

  • Thunderbird does not remove messages from my server of Charter

    When I delete a message it removes the message of my server, so every time I have download for new messages that I receive the new and old messages. After a few days, the download will take 3 or 4 minutes due to the number of messages and eventually it will expire only.
    Then, I go to my Charter account and manually delete each message. Charter said that they do not support Thunderbird, but it is not a server problem

    I guess that's a virus problem. Try to turn off email scanning in your anti virus and see how it works for a day or two. So try again activated. Sometimes these anti virus problems just appear and disappear, they do not like an individual post or something

  • TB stopped to retrieve new messages and try to "reconfigure" my account to correct the problem, now, I lost my old messages.

    [15/04/14 edit #3] I posted the troubleshooting information and make a backup of profiles with MozBackup, so my problem is the presence of two inboxes, both to receive messages, and my not be sure we can safely be removed nor how to remove safely.
    [14/04/14 edit #2] Help of you bird taught me where my 'profiles' are stored but I found that I had no backup of their. However, I find now that I have TWO inboxes - had not noticed this before oddity. Fortunately, one of them contains again all my old posts! The Inbox that has still all my old messages is listed as a subfolder under "Local Folders" and the Inbox I thought was that my only Inbox is listed as a subfolder under the folder albums whose name is my email address. Two inboxes are now recover my new mail. Does this mean that I have somehow created two accounts? If so, how can I get rid of the account that uses the Inbox that has all my old messages inside? I don't want to get rid of the wrong account, but I suspect that the "right" should be listed under my email address, not covered by 'Local Folders'. If anyone understands this mess I created, I'd appreciate some tips so that I don't make things worse. At least, I have now learned what it is I need to back up.

    [14/04/14 Edition #1] This is a major update of the problem I described earlier (see below). I disabled the part Mail shield of my antivirus software Avast free and discovered that TB was again able to recover my email. Then I re-enabled Avast to see if it blocked again TB. He did not. So, apparently simply light shield mail out of Avast and back again seems to have solved the problem. However, there's now the consequences of my having tried to "reset" TB which is described below, namely the loss of a very large number of emails that have been stored in my Inbox. So the problem is I would like to get help is how to recover these apparently lost emails. If they stay on my hard drive, should TB to store and what specific files I look for? I do not have a backup of some of my drive hard (but), but I need to know how to identify them, where to look and how to get back to my Inbox without deleting its current content. I would really like to also retain their original, if possible dates. I'm under 64-bit Windows 8.1. [end edit on 14-04-14]

    ................................................
    TB suddenly stopped downloading my mail today. When I click Get Mail, I can see the screen very fast succession of messages; first the message "connected...". «, then «check...» ", then"download 1 of 10... ". ", and finally,"No message to download"after downloading absolutely none of them. I also noticed that my list of mailboxes not the entry of first showed my e-mail address as account name. Find that something important must have been changed in the setup of my account, I went through all the settings but didn't see any problem. Finally, I decided to try to restore my account even. Who did place my email address again back at the top of the list of mailboxes mailbox as my work account name, but he also created an even more serious problem. There is now no messages in my Inbox, I guess because I have created a new account using the same name as the old, whereas before there were thousands of messages I had saved for many years (since it is a business). Then when I click Get Mail, TB downloaded 383 messages that have not yet been removed from the server, which then gives all today (another loss since their initial dates were important). But after that he finished all the download, by clicking Get Mail still retrieves all messages past the time he stopped to recover earlier today. These new messages remain on the server - but now there are 14 of them instead of 10. The same succession of messages TB appears at the bottom of the screen, but now it says "Download 1 of 14..." but always downloads none and ends by, "no message to download. This sequence of messages will repeat as many times I want to pick up the mail but she can still count how many is NOT download. Two questions: (1) are the thousands of messages that have been stored in my Inbox always stored somewhere on my computer and is it possible to recover? (2) how can I get TB to begin to recover my current email again? I guess it's obvious that these are important issues for me and I am completely puzzled. Thanks in advance.

    I managed to recreate the same question.

    It's what, in my view, has occurred.

    The account that puts e-mails in local folders is set up as a global Inbox account.

    The account which has its own mail, mailbox is a classic e-mail account.

    When you created the global account to the Inbox, you have not restarted Thunderbird before you download, so the same e-mail is downloaded in the two accounts.

    E-mails currently in the global Inbox - Local folders Inbox is not deleted if you delete the account. but do not immediately.

    Please look under "Tools" > "account settings".
    You see two accounts with the same name using the same email address? I noticed you have account 2 and account 5 using different servers, but maybe the same e-mail address?

    Select the 'server' settings account 2 and click the button "Advanced".
    A small window opens, which is selected?

    • "Inbox for this account of servers.

    or

    • "Inbox for the account of different" and "records the.

    Please also check account 5.

    One of these accounts will say "Inbox for the account of different" and "records the. This is the account that has emails in the Inbox folders and is configured as a Global account.

    Tell me which account is configured as global Inbox.

    In addition, I note that account 2 has more than one identity. You have two different email addresses that go to the same account?

    • In 'Tools' > 'Account settings' for account 2
    • Click on the button "manage identities".

    If you have two email addresses, and you want both emails go into this email account, then leave it alone. Click "close".

    If the two identities are the same (identical) email address, then there is no two, so you can delete the other. Select the second identity email address and click 'remove '. Then, click Close. If not sure leave it alone, but tell me what you have.

    Click OK

    Tell me what you have and if you have two email addresses the same as the identity of this email account and also if you have deleted the second email address.

  • Thunderbird crashes on some messages - how to read these messages?

    Two colleagues of an organization in particular I sent emails a day. Whenever I try to open, Thunderbird crashes and I can not read the messages. They sent me new messages later--and I have no problem of their opening.

    The accident report ID is bp-7024757b-9db9-4e3c-8916-bfac62151019.

    How can I read their original messages? Why did they cause Thunderbird crash?

    Thanks in advance for all you can give me advice!

    Thunderbird is not an email service. If you tend to think of this as your "Thunderbird account" then it's probably one provided by your Internet service provider.

    The part after the ' @' in your email address usually indicates that provides and manages your e-mail account.

    Is this the same sender for this third message? Do you know what e-mail program they use?

    I've seen some disturbing issues with messages sent by users of Apple Mail, where the parts of the text will miss, leading to embarrassing and difficult, situations where some wonder why the other did not. A strange formatting used by the Apple caused Outlook program to think that the message had been terminated. In an e-mail program, the missing text was visible and recoverable.

    This isn't quite your situation, but it will show that there may be less than 100% compatibility between e-mail clients. Microsoft and Apple have their own specific peculiarities.
