Thunderbird, re - download messages from gmail years!

I got the email sending problems (see other thread) with gmail/thunderbird 38.4.0, and I must have changed something in my get parameters, because now Thunderbird is re - download all messages from July 2013. I use POP because I like to be able to delete my Gmail server messages when they are downloaded to Thunderbird. I activated the disabled IMAP and POP. I don't know where these messages come from because when I connect to gmail in my browser, it doesn't seem to be any messages it except in my "sent" folder. I am that they were removing all this time after downloaded Thunderbird, but apparently not because they are all coming in again. I'm getting flooded by mail now. Funny is that this isn't to attract new messages in my Inbox when they arrive in gmail in the browser (or maybe I'll just be for them after she did it download 2013, 2014 and 2015!) Can anyone help?

I thought about it. The messages were apparently only deleted from the Inbox of Google and always resided in other folders in GMail. I changed something in my settings in Gmail and Thunderbird which caused everything to be downloaded by Thunderbird. I saw what was happening and stopped. I closed Thunderbird before it could do more, then entered with GMail and all that had been removed from the folder all deleted messages. So I ran Thunderbird and everything was fine, after that I cleaned up the previous duplicate messages. Gmail is trying to cling to your email, so it can be analysed for commercial purposes!

  • Delete messages from Gmail, but keep in Apple Mail?

    Hi all.

    I use Apple Mail to download my Gmail via IMAP (Apple Mail 9.3, OSX 10.11.5).

    The problem is that my Gmail account is complete. To free up space in Gmail, I want to delete messages from Gmail, but keep them locally in Apple Mail. How can I do? I guess it's the server settings, but I don't know if I need to tinker with the Apple Mail, Gmail server settings, or both.

    I tried to delete the messages in Gmail, but Apple Mail sync with Gmail and delete them locally, too.

    Thank you!

    Activate the sidebar of accounts, so you can see the hierarchy of depot.

    You should see a section here which says on my Mac. Click to show it, then right click to add box to the letters it. Call it something like old Gmail 2008-2014. Now you can select your old Gmails mainly Gmail Inbox and sent boxes and drag them to this mailbox on my Mac (folder). If you move hundreds or thousands of emails, here could be a delay before they appear in the new location, so don't panic.

    Note: Many users choose simply to archive old emails, but do in Gmail, still continues to them on the server, if you're not reduce used storage space.

  • Does not download messages from a Gmail account

    Hi all

    On 26 may at 09:00, Thunderbird quit downloading all messages from one of my Gmail accounts (others work very well). Since then, he has been uploading the same message over and over again, but none of the others. When I log in to Gmail on the web, I see a lot of mails in my Inbox, and when I say TB 'get all', he indicates that he sees 100 + emails in the Inbox but it downloads only the message!

    I don't know if there is a problem with TB, Gmail or LinkedIn (the origin of the single message that continually downloads - I have 300 + copies now!) and I tried all the solutions which corresponds to something about how I feel, and nothing works.

    Thank you!

    I bet it's a problem with your anti-virus! That your use?

  • Mozilla locks the computer after downloading messages from the second e-mail account

    I used thunderbird for years. The current version is 38.1.0. on Windows 7. I used two e-mail accounts for years. As I downloaded the latest version, whenever thunderbird download anything from the second account, it crashes my whole computer. I deleted the second account and reinstalled, but the same thing happens.

    I don't know if the recent update is the real cause of the problem.

    Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this problem?

    Safe mode is mainly to determine if your antivirus software is causing problems. Antivirus software is not running in Windows safe mode.

  • Thunderbird deletes the messages from the server if I said not to do so.

    I use a POP3 server and have 'leave messages on the server - until I delete"checked but Thunderbird is still deleting messages from the server before my other e-mail viewer gets it.

    If my other program (from MR2ICE under OS2 on another machine) Gets the first messages, I'll see them on both machines.

    If Thunderbird 'em first I don't get them on the other machine, and, when I check via webmail, they aren't there.

    Thank you.

    If you want to see messages on several machines, POP is not the best choice. You choose to use POP, or is it you imposed by the e-mail provider?

    I don't have a job here POP account to check with, but you can try with the option ' until I have delete ' unchecked? You doing anything with messages, such as moving them to another folder?

    I've never been confident with the way that ' until I have remove the ' works; If a message has been moved out of the Inbox to another folder, and you remove it, a request to delete the message always spread on the server?

    With IMAP, by moving a message to a folder in account to somewhere the IMAP server can not see it is actually a deletion; the server can no longer see the message, so syncs by removing its own copy of this message. I haven't checked through what a POP server is in similar circumstances.

  • Whenever I run Thunderbird, it downloads messages since 2 weeks ago once again.

    It's as if time stopped a week ago. The mails that I downloaded right now seem to disappear when I quit Thunderbird and are therefore re-downloaded, when I then run Thunderbird.
    Also, no copy of emails sent were recorded this week. They seem to have been completely lost.
    The version is 24.3.0
    Thank you

    I thought it was worth a try, as nothing else seems to work.

    The folder exists, it's just windows hide. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/show-hidden-files#show-hidden-files=windows-7

    Allows so try in SafeMode windows networking
    See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7

    That could help.

  • TBird does not delete messages from POP3 server with setting of ' leave messages on the server until I delete them.

    I use the pop3 Storage account. I installed thunderbird to download messages only when I ask them. I installed thunderbird to leave messages on the server until I delete them. I am able to send and receive messages without problem, but the messages that I delete the Inbox of Tbird not deleted from the server.

    In addition, what is the expected behavior for messages on the server if I move them to a local folder? That should remove them from the server, or they remain on the server until I have remove the local folder?

    Thank you.

    Deleting a message that "it mark as deleted", but it's still in the folder that is hidden from view. It's now displaying in the folder "deleted".

    you need to compact your file.
    ClickON Inbox right and select "Compact".

    Inbox, junk and probably get most of the activity when it comes to deletion, so they should be compacted ona regularly.
    I have several emails that I will delete every day, so these two fodler get compacted by day.

  • My Outlook Express gives me an 0x800C0133 error. Impossible to delete my messages from the Inbox. Also, I don't find the file indox.dbx.

    I read the post on the copy the messages from the Inbox to another folder.  I tried, but get an error message.  I decided that I would just delete all but the messages will not delete.  I used the search function of windows to search for inbox.dbx, but he could not find the file.  I have a large number of messages in my Inbox and its ok if I lose all.  I get the error message when I start outlook express and download messages from my pop3 e-mail.  It still downloads messages from one of my other emails which is also a pop3 server.  I have windows xp pro and it is completely up to date.  Thank you...

    Hello craigalene,

    This issue may occur because of corrupted inbox in Outlook express.

    Perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if this solves the problem.

    Step 1:

    Create a new folder and move all mail from your Inbox to the new folder in Outlook Express.

    Follow these steps:

    a. click on the file menu.

    b. Select the folder and select new.

    c. give an appropriate name for the folder.

    d. Select all mails in the inbox and move to a different folder.

    e. move mail to the new folder.

    Step 2:

    I suggest to delete the Inbox.dbx file in your computer.

    In Windows XP Outlook Express files user (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 and view.

    Follow the steps to delete the Inbox.dbx file.

    a. close Outlook Express.

    b. use the search option to find the box of Inbox.dbx.

    c. delete the Inbox.dbx file.

    Note: Another will be created automatically when you open Outlook Express.

  • Thunderbird 31 will not download the messages from the pop server (to 24 worked) CAUSED by Avast

    TBird updated to version 31, it will not download the messages of my pop server. I can send, but not download messages. I restored Win (7) at an earlier date to return to the version 24 of Tbird, and everything worked OK.

    TBird later Auto-setting to update itself (ugh!) back to 31, and we don't go again, no E-mail download. I changed the settings to Win firewall, even tried that turned off completely for testing, without any difference. Retarted Tbird and win several times, no go. It's extremely frustrating. Does anyone actually * test * software updates before releasing these days here?

    TBird works very well for me in Linux Mint 16, but this glitch under Win 7 just jumped to the top with the upgrade to 31.

    Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer!

    the typical suspects are AV and firewall software.

  • Thunderbird downloads emails from the mail server to its own server?

    Download Thunderbird and Horus email on its own server, or wiat for pull emails from my mail server until I have connect and download them?

    There is no 'server Thunderbird', so that solves the first part of your question.

    I don't know what you mean by "log in."

    Thunderbird, retrieves all in all, your messages from the server when you tell him, or you can configure it to do periodically.

    To access your messages, he must know the username of the e-mail account (very often all or part of your e-mail address) and the corresponding password. If you allow Thunderbird store the password, there is no need even to think of "connection" to the mail server.

    I said "basically" because with some IMAP servers, messages seem to be fed to Thunderbird as and when they become available, assuming he is alive and online.
