Thunderbird has deleted my messages "deleted" instead of put them in a folder

I use Thunderbird in IMAP on a laptop running Vista. Recently, I used several Thunderbird on a laptop under XP. He doesn't have a problem - I've done it before. However, when I went back to my original Vista laptop, I found that I was now two folders called "deleted", but when I deleted a message from my Inbox it will not be sent to one of them. I then tried to remove the most recent 'deleted' folder but found that instead, I had deleted the original! It is annoying because it was full of messages that I would normally leave for 30 days.

Still, my deleted messages are not sent to any folder. If I try to select another folder that "deleted", it does not send them there no more.

How can I return to the status quo? And is it possible to recover the original "deleted" folder and make sure that I have remove the last?

Professionals tear he hair on that kind of stuff.
My guess is that Thunderbird on the computer created XP file "deleted" you see on the Vista computer, more specifically, what IMAP has created. When you opened the TB on the machine Vista IMAP updated TB to reflect changes made on the XP machine. IMAP will not let you delete the folder because it is linked to TB of XP. And as you discovered one created with Vista deleted without problem. One of your computers is acting as "Administrator", or primary. The other is a client of all kinds. When you set up IMAP from your computer the software makes a few assumptions. One computer (Vista) is the principal. Then you have the other computer system related. You have synchronized upward with the Vista machine. Insofar as the "Deleted" message goes, it's possible there are two. A he stayed right where he is and two that he disappeared. If its still in your Inbox, then it probably means that you, the user of Vista, mark it for deletion, and all that remains is for the XP user, it would be you, delete. Don't forget, IMAP think there two users on this email account. If it is gone so it's time for hair removal. Have a friend send e-mails with text in the body in order to distinguish them and do some experiments. Nothing but a good experience. It's Google; "The differences between POP and IMAP. IMAP allows users to store their email on remote servers. This bilateral protocol allows also the user to synchronize their e-mail among multiple devices, which is extremely important today, when most people have at least two devices - their laptop and the smartphone". IMAP, reiterate, doesn't know that you're on both devices. Put "POP vs IMAP" (without the quotes) in Google. There are several links on the subject. Either way, if you just put IMAP in the search box, you will get a page of a person named Imap. When you and I would ask what Imap do you hear, Google brings just imap pages read more. I say all this to check your settings. If none of this helped, I'm sorry. Write new and in detail what you did and what happened. More is better. Good luck

  • Some emails go directly to the box deleted instead of the Inbox

    I have Internet Explorer 8.  After several years of use, some emails go directly to my Inbox deleted instead of my Inbox.  Why and how do those little emailst o comes in my Inbox?

    Hooray!  I went back and went through my list of blocked senders a couple of times and there were the addresses.  Thanks for the prompt in this way.  I don't understand why they went to my folder deleted items instead of do not come through at all.  This means that all the time I spend blocking spam emails and then don't get no more from this sender is really an illusion... I think that I get no more because I'm doing this, but in reality these people are not sending more?

    Publishers diverts only message to the deleted items. Most of the time is a waste of time IMO.  Keeping in mind that spammers constantly change the address they send supposedly of, the only way to block a message of never gives to your computer is a message rule "delete server" .

    Whenever this happens, and it's almost every second e-mail, I have to go to "options, display remote content in this message.

    I do not understand how Thunderbird will protect me by not showing is not the content in the email sent to me. The content that I can see just the same by going in "options, display remote content in this message" or one of the other options here.

    I can't see the logic.

    My emial was working fine yesterday morning and now my old messages in my Inbox and trash are unreadable. See her font size, margins, spacing of lines and some show tons of letters/numbers. They messages make no sense. I learned to uninstall thunderbird and reinstall, but usually I lose my contacts and all my messages/photos. He also says that to protect my privacy, thunderbird has blocked a remote content. This appears in the messages that I have received long - approved places. All thoughts

    Before going to all this trouble, take a look at how you show the emails:
    Discovers the body/message / original HTML

    Tools/options/privacy and allow remote content in messages
    

    You can also give a list of senders who would be allowed or refused to show distance.

    General file recovery

    If you stop using the drive, it is possible to recover files that have not been overwritten by using the recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, recovering files or TechTool Prodeleted.  Each of the previous ones come on a bootable CD for use without risk of writing, more data on the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are disc drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos to MacUpdate or CNET downloads. Recovery software generally provide trial versions that allows you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond that, or if the drive has completely failed, you must send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.

    The hard drive remains the most widely used and the data are recorded, the greater the chance that your deleted files will be overwritten.
