When I delete a message in Thunderbird, it is not deleted from my POP3 server.

I have account as"email on the server" settings and "until I have delete ' both checked. When I delete the email in Thunderbird version 24.4.0, enamel not get deleted on the pop server.

If I create a filter and say "delete server" any e-mail that has a STAR status. Emails get deleted from the server when I run the filter messages.

I don't think I should have to run a filter whenever I want to delete emails from the POP3 server.

I do something wrong... any ideas?

I found the answer on another forum by Tom Wijsman:

   Go to Options -> Advanced -> Config Editor.
   Find the Name mail.pop3.deleteFromServerOnMove
   Set it to True.
   True: Delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you move or delete the message.
   False(default): Only delete the copy of the message on the POP3 server if you delete the message.

That of it, restart Thunderbird. You must press "Get Mail" whenever you want to synchronize with the mail server, so that you can to ensure that the messages in the application is in synchronization with the e-mail server.

What follows is to highlight to perform the synchronization with the server. You will not see your message server after the initial download to Get Mail (new downloaded messages). Once you process your Inbox in Thunderbird to delete/move a new message, and then make another mail to get, which will remove messages previously downloaded on the server (phase).

Note: If you have some old messages in your mailbox Thunderbird, they will not be deleted from the server. Delete them manually from the server. Therefore, all new messages you download, then treat (delete/move) and then synchronize up redoing Get Mail will BE deleted.

  • When I open a message in Thunderbird, I sometimes the content of the message of the previous message.

    When I open a message in Thunderbird, I sometimes the content of the message of the previous message.
    This means that all the content of the message is replaced by the content of the previous message. I can't see the message and must ask the sender to send again. Why is this, is my overloaded messaging system or what?

    This usually indicates file corruption.
    Right-click on the folder of the problem, and then select Properties. Then the Repair folder.

    Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad. It may be a good idea to move all messages that you want to keep in a new folder. Create folders, under local folders to sort your emails from guardian in. It's a good idea not to keep a lot of mail in the Inbox in any case, as you'll see when you read the attached article.

    Read this article on maintaining your system to avoid this in the future.

  • 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).

  • Smartphones from blackBerry BES Question: when emails deleted from Outlook/exchange inbox why not email get removed from BB?

    Is - this b/c, the Exchange is only 'forwarding' mail for BB, do not receive any communication in return? But then why can the BB delete an e-mail message at the same time the BB device and the exchange server (if this option is selected)?

    I really need the BB to update the same as my Inbox with my exchange server, I will not be a happy camper if it does not recognize the emails that I moved into or deleted from the outlook/exchange Inbox subfolders, as my old Treo did... Is there some setting I am missing?

    Or is this what work of BB?

    Well hallelujah, is a tech BB saw my post and fixed a few BES script, or, I solved the problem by changing the setting in the options to "HIDE MESSAGED after HAVING REMOVING", I think it's the only setting I changed and I don't know if fixed it or not, but its not working as it should now.

  • Thunderbird no longer responds when you delete messages SOLVED caused by attachment tree addon

    Thunderbird "does not" for a few minutes when you delete one or more messages. All messages are downloaded via POP3, deleted items folder is usually empty, but sometimes there are 2-5 emails in there. For the most part occurs after the beginning of the new computer and first use of Thunderbird running on Windows 8.1 with a material more really fast.
    There is no Add-ons installed. And it is not related to the virus. the problem is with any antivirus or without it.

    It's a simple bug.

    It becomes a similar problem (less often) when sending emails with inline images or when the SSL certificate on the server and the exception has not been accepted yet. That's the problem since 2013 when I started using Thunderbird.

    It is not present on some of the slower laptops that I use.

  • When I delete a message on the web server, Thunderbird deletes too remove my backup. How can I stop this?

    I have a related to Thunderbird IMAP server that has only a 100 MB allowance, so I have to delete large emails regularly with the web interface of the server. However, I want to keep them on my local hard drive. I just discovered that for a year I was remove my backup at the same time - when I delete a message on the Thunderbird server deletes that too on a "Get Mail" command. I can't find a way to disable it.

    Fortunately, I had all the emails sent to Gmail for the last few months, so I didn't lose something important...

    This is how works the IMAP e-mail. The messages are on the server and you see and manage with the e-mail client. You need create folders in the local folders and copy emails to guard it before you delete the server.

  • Why will not erase the deleted messages in Thunderbird in FACT?

    This problem does not exist on my other computer or my phone when I delete imap messages, but when I delete this computer, even if it appears in the Trash of Thunderbird folder on this computer, it is not actually go in webmail or on any other device. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Re: when I delete emails from Thunderbird on the computer in question, they appear in the trash on this computer, but they do not actually delete from the server, they remain in the original folder (Inbox, sent).

    Quote:
    It is ideal for a message erased on an IMAP account or visible in webmail or other e-mail clients. Deleting a message just sets a flag, and it's the interface chart user what to do when there is a message when this flag is set. However, once Thunderbird compact (expurgated) this folder, the deleted message shouldn't be visible more webmail or any mail client, because it has been deleted physically.

    IMAP accounts offer several options to delete messages that are not available in the accounts pop tools-> account-> server settings settings-> "when I delete a message" a choice for "Move to trash", "Mark as deleted" and "withdraw immediately".
    end of quote.

    More information about the different methods are detailed on the link:

    If you right-click on the eg: Inbox folder and select "compact", this should eliminate the traces of the deleted messages.

    to compact a file: right-click on a folder and select "compact".

    to compact all folders: file > Compact folders

    you set up the auto strike?
    Tools-> account settings-> server to select imap e-mail account settings: clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on exit that compress the Inbox folder when you exit Thunderbird. If you check 'Empty trash on exit' will also empty and compact the deleted items folder when you quit.

    I want to delete a large number of messages in Thunderbird. How can I do it without going through each message individually.

    Have you ever deleted multiple files in both Solution Explorer?
    Thunderbird works the same way.

    Select the first message you want to delete. Press on and hold down SHIFT and select the last message should be deleted. This selects all messages between the first and the last of them.
    The Ctrl key and click on a message, you can select or deselect them individually.

  • Sometimes when I delete a message, the message is deleted until I see it. Not always, but often.

    When I delete a message in the Inbox, sometimes the message is deleted at the same time. Not always, but often enough to be annoying. I have to go to the trash to read it or get it back.

    Try a new mouse. Sounds like your wrong and deliver a double click when you click.
    If you can press Delete on your keyboard and remove only 1 message then its your mouse.
