Unable to set where to save new email

I'm not able to define in which folder to receive news by e-mail. Support the sayes.
Location of the menu: tools | Accounts settings | < account name >. Server settings | Advanced

First, account settings are NOT tools, but under Options. Secondly, there is no progress under Server settings.

Help, please.

Thank you

RE: where is the account settings?

As you have discovered, the newer versions of Thunderbird have been transformed by developers in a product not intuiitive by hiding all toolbars.
I find it a rather naïve approach to an assumption that everyone understands.
Aid generally means toolbars as there are many tools available in their breast.

So, to make life easier, I recommend that you activate the toolbars.

How to activate the toolbars:
Click on the 3 menu bar icon > Options and select the toolbars.
See the image below.

Various methods to access the "account settings".
Using toolbars:
Tools > accounts settings

3 bars menu icon using:
3 menu bar icon > Options > account settings

Right-click on the account name in the folder pane and select "settings".

Rather than change in fact which emails are downloaded, you can try first "Unified View".
View > folders > unified
It shows a single Inbox with all the messages in all accounts in a single folder.
It will show also under Inbox, so that you can also locate the email on account Inbox special folder.
If you have an IMAP email account, this is the method to use.

Global Local Inbox folders
If you have a POP email account, you can choose to receive either mail in the accounts own Inbox or configure it as a global Inbox and use the Inbox folders instead.

You want all mail to the Inbox folders?
In the affirmative.
Using a POP email account?
In the affirmative.
Have you received emails in the email account?
If so,.
Go offline to stop downloading like emails.
Move all email directories of email Pop accounts in various issues in the local folders.

"Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings" for the pop mail account

Click on the "Advanced" button - located under the storage of the messages area.
See the image below. -recent version show a change in wording because I captured the image.
Select: Inbox for the other account choose ' Inbox (Local folders) Global
Select 'Include this server when getting new messages'
Click OK

Click OK to save the changes to account settings.

Close Thunderbird.
Wait a few minutes for the process to complete and then open thunderbird.
You must close and restart before you download mail in any account for which you have changed the setting Inbox / Global Inbox.

This will remove the list Pop e-mail account.
New messages will be downloaded to the Inbox directories.

  • How to fix: downloads of Firefox is set on "ask me where to save files" permanently

    I recently reformatted my computer Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. It is also the same OS that I used until I formatted it. I installed the latest version of Firefox as usual. But after a few days of use, I noticed that whenever I am downloading something or save an image he'll always ask me to the place where to save my files.

    Even if I repeatedly put in a specific directory. I already searched this thread:
    http://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/977944

    There are some posts that I don't understand, but I have tried the reset of the Director of downloads and last directory. I also tried to make a new user, but nothing is done, I was not yet successful. I have not tried to uninstall firefox and put it back, because I want to avoid this at any price, because I think that it's a hassle for all my work recently marked with a bookmark and all my emails and details of work in the browser.

    Any idea on what to do to solve this problem? It is not a very big problem, but if you think about it, it will be sometimes annoying in the future.

    Anyone experienced this before?

    P.S. I don't have this problem until I formatted my computer.

    You seem to have some download extensions installed.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    Hey CRB123,

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, you see a badge that you have unread e-mails in your Inbox, but they are not appearing.  An easy way to separate the emails read from the unread macOS that Sierra is to click the button to filter in the list of messages, or sort by unread:

    • Activate the filters: Click the filter button at the top of the list of messages, click unread to display the list of available filters, and then select one or more filters. A check mark indicates a filter is active.

      If you use more than one email account in Mail, you can filter the Inbox into account - for example, only show emails from your iCloud account.

    • Disable an active filter: Click on the filter.

    • Disable all filters: Click the filter button .

      Mail remembers your filters and automatically applied the next time that you click the filter button to activate the filters.

    You can also sort the list of messages - just click on "sort by" at the top of the list of messages, then select an attribute, such as and a sort order. In a typical configuration, click on a column header.

    Mail for Mac: filter the list of messages in Mail

    If no unread messages, then I would like to confirm if you have emails unread looking webmail for your email account. If you see the unread messages in webmail, go back to the mail app, and then rebuild your Inbox:

    You may have to re-create a mailbox to update the list of the messages it contains. For example, if messages seem to be missing or garbled, or if you don't find any relevant messages when you search by using the entire Message search option.

    • Select a mailbox in the Mail sidebar, then choose BALL > rebuild.

    When you rebuild the mailbox for accountIMAP or Exchange messages and attachments stored on your computer are discarded and then downloaded again from the mail server to your Mac. Your mailbox is empty until the download is complete.

    Hello

    What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
    Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
    Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor
    Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:

    Someone else set up my e-mail address, and when I open it I click on send and receive to display my new email. When I had any version before he would automatically show my most recent emails, how can I change this setting so I did not click on send and receive whenever I want to see my mail?

    How does anyone know when you don't specify what program you use for email?

    Some e-mail programs have a setting options for send and receive at startup.  You might look for it, or ask the person who set up your email for you.

  • iPhone made his but without alert box new email

    This problem lasts for at least a month now, so I figure it's high time to ask about it. Several weeks back my iPhone 4 has stopped to give me a new email alerts. I have all my accounts the value 'Badges, sounds and alerts.  I get the sound / vibrate when I get a new email but I DO NOT get an alert box. It was always nice to get a glimpse of emails and I want to come back.

    Of course, I receive pushed emails I get sound. Anyone has any ideas on where to go from here? The problem persists after a reboot.

  • How to save an email on a folder?

    I get an email giving details of a new Member and I want to save 'new Member' in my folder "tennis club". How can I do?

    Where is your folder "tennis club"? In Thunderbird, or anywhere else in your computer?

    Either way, you can just drag - move the message in your folder "tennis club". But if it is outside of Thunderbird, it will save as eml file and you should not use Thunderbird to open and read it.

    So another approach is to use "file |" ' Save as ' in Thunderbird, tell him where to save the message, with whom and in what format. HTML can be useful for you.

    And you could just select the text of the message, copy it and paste it into a new text in Notepad, Wordpad or similar document that you save in your folder "tennis club".
