Why TB keep download old emails

I'm running win7 and 38.3 TH. Every now and then, TB upload old emails that I have. How to avoid this?

There are three cases I know, not the fault of Thunderbird.

1. the email provider reindexes the mail on the server. (You can do anything, but becomes more common with Yahoo mail and those who use it as BT and AAT)
2. your anti-virus interferes with the download of the Thunderbird point can't seem to save the State of POP downloads information. (Turn off email scanning in Anti virus)
3. hard drive corruption that allows access to the State stored file impossible. (Run a disk repair utility)

  • Thunderbird guard download old emails & works very slowly. CAUSE: McAfee

    Help! I use Thunderbird for my work email. He started running so slow it can take me 20 minutes just to send 1 email. He maintains the gel and guard download archived old emails of my files.
    The slow & freezing mainly happens when it starts to download old messages.
    I deleted all the old emails except all sent and received from 2014.
    Unfortunately, I didn't know that I had to be compacted messages & never did until I started having problems about 1 month ago. I now compact daily. I also installed Mozbackup and saved my info because I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Unfortunately, this did not fix the issue.

  • BlackBerry smartphones download old Emails on BlackBerry with IMAP

    I just got a BB Curve 8330 Sprint and set up my IMAP e-mail account. I'm on a Mac, and PocketMac is not a useful way to get my email from Mail.app on my BlackBerry. My BB works fine when I get a new email: it is visible on the BB before it appears on the computer. My problem, however, is that I want all of my old emails and files downloaded on my BB. Because of my previous experiences with IMAP, I thought that when they were connected the BB would automatically download all of these emails and folders, but I could not do make or find answers online. So I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and how you solved. Nothing don't that seems to be working.

    Thank you.

    not possible unless you transfer all your emails to yourself

    BB will capture only whats new from the time that you integrate the e-mail account to your BB

  • How can I keep the old emails in my Inbox but disable the account?

    Hello everyone, I have a several email in Mail accounts and one of them stopped by the provider but has 5000 messages or if I want to keep. It was a POP3 account, so all messages are local on my machine. I would like this account, try to connect to the server and check for new messages, since it is now less error all the time. I want to keep messages in my Inbox well - so I can just turn off the e-mail account then hides the messages.

    Anyone any idea if this is possible?

    Thank you

    Given that it was a POP3 account, the messages are stored locally already. So why not just create a folder "Inbox" old or anyone and put them there? Otherwise, you could forward them to another account, but I don't think it's a practical solution.

    Try this...

    from your windows live client of e-mail:
    Right click on the folder you want to synchronize (i.e., Inbox, etc.)
    Click on properties
    Click on "synchronize" tab
    Check "in synchronizing this folder, download"
    Select 'new messages' instead of 'all messages '.

  • I want to save an IMAP via POP3 account in Thunderbird, but it will not download old emails that are still on the server. How can I do this?

    I start using Thunderbird to save and purge old e-mails from an account via POP3. This account is accessible by other users using IMAP on their computers and mobile phones.

    I want to archive and purge old messages from the server using Thunderbird. But it will not download messages that apparently are marked as read on the server via IMAP.

    POP mail accounts must be configured to "leave messages on server".
    Check this box before use.

    • Tools > account settings > server for the e-mail account settings

    or

    • menu icon > Options > account settings > server for the e-mail account settings

    Select: 'leave messages on the server.

    Optional: select: "during the more than xx days" this will remove something more that select the specified number of days "until I have delete" when you delete an email it will be deleted from the server.

    Click Ok to save the settings.

    POP mail accounts are only looking at the Inbox and download everything that has not been previously downloaded regardless of whether it has been read or not. They cannot access or download from any other folder on the server.

    If you want to download the e-mail messages in other directories, you must move the emails in the Inbox to upload and it's may not be practical in your situation.

    What you can do is to synchronize your IMAP folders to a copy downloaded to your IMAP e-mail account.
    Then switch mode 'offline' to stop any additional synchronization synchronized files update.
    MozBackup tool could now be used to save the profile synchronization created mbox files that contain emails.

    You can also do the following to get a copy outside the IMAP e-mail account:
    Create the same folders in the "local folders".
    Then right click on the email and "copy to" and select local folders and the folder you need.
    Put a copy in the local files means these e-mails are also on your computer and they are not influenced by what you do in the IMAP folder.
    You need backup emails in these folders.
    See info:

    MozBackup:

  • Windows mail - mail incoming download old emails and duplication

    Initially I could not receive my emails in mail windows for 4 days and then when he started again I got thousands of old e-mails reproduced several times in 2008 (I have now 30 000 mails in my Inbox) why what is happening and what do you propose, I do.

    If it is a POP3 account, follow these steps:

    1: tools | Options | In general. Disable temporarily: send receive & when starting and check for messages every X minutes.

    2: tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - uncheck: leave a copy of messages on the server.

    Now, do a manual transmission? Receive and don't touch anything until it's done. Remove the message, you do not want to and check #1 again, but not of #2. Perhaps it would be easier to move the messages that you want to a different folder and then delete everything else suddenly. The message header a culmination and Ctrl + A will highlight the Delete all.

  • Difficulty download old emails after having been on vacation

    Recently, I've been away on vacation (from August 26 to September 9). Moving, I was following my emails from Thunderbird to my MacBook Air. When I got home on 9 September, I wanted to download all e-mails from August 26 from e-mail from September 3 downloaded my computer desktop iMac, but only last week so I missed the emails of the week. How can I stop what happens when I leave in Australia for 6 weeks next year?

    Connect to your Firefox or your MacBook Air e-mail account. If they're still there, it should be possible to save them. I don't think they are. My ISP only allows 600 megabytes. Once it is full, the system begins to remove the oldest. If they come from people known to them to be able to send back them. To work around this create a Gmail account and "cc" (carbon copy) a copy of this account. If I remember correctly, I have about 1000 emails in my Gmail account and I always register full 0%. You can retrieve it from there when you get back. You can join your provider and ask him what happened. They can help. Also check your settings in TB. I myself have been guilty of crazy moments. Changes made and forgotten to my system. Or there was a troll under my bed. Previous post: the results. Good luck

  • Outlook express download old emails read like new unread emails whenever it is open

    I turned on my PC and re-opened Outlook express after a 2 week break. Under send/receive I get ALL my emails stored as new unread emails as well as new unread then emails that I was absent. It is about 3000 emails everytime I open Outlook express. How can I limit the send/receive to receive only the emails sent to me from OE last opened?

    What Steve said, but I'll elaborate on that a bit.

    Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced. Uncheck: Leave a copy of messages on the server. Then, remove the Pop3uidl.dbx file. You will get the messages once more, but it should be.

    Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (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 icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    With OE closed, find the Pop3uidl.dbx file and delete it.  Another will be created automatically when you open OE.

    General precautions for Outlook Express:

    Do not archive mail in the receipt or sent items box. Create your own user-defined folders and move messages you want to put in them. Empty the deleted items folder daily. Although the dbx files have a theoretical capacity of 2 GB, I recommend all a 300 MB max for less risk of corruption.

    Information on the maximum size of the .dbx files that are used by Outlook Express:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/?kbid=903095

    After you're done, followed by compacting your folders manually while working * off * and do it often.

    Click Outlook Express at the top of the the folder tree so no folders are open. Then: File | Work offline (or double-click on work online in the status bar). File | Folder | Compact all folders. Don't touch anything until the compacting is completed.

    Disable analysis in your e-mail anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that devours the processors and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A / V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more information, see:

  • How can I keep old emails to download after you have configured the address

    I just install a professional e-mail address on thunderbird but don't need the 7000 + old emails to download from the server
    How can I avoid this?

    If it's gmail, visit their Web site and search for the function 'recent '.

    Otherwise, and I guess that it is IMAP, he's just doing what it is supposed to do; show you what is on the server. Your best choice is to go to the website of the provider of messaging, place messages you don't need to see their own records and not to subscribe to those folders in Thunderbird.

    If it's POP, a new account in Thunderbird does not know what you have seen before, so just of gets it everything. Beware, it will almost certainly move all messages from the server to the client, then don't start immediately remove things. The 'other files' technique described for IMAP should work here too, as POP sees no folders on the server other than the Inbox.

  • I changed my email address, now whenever I need to download the updates it tells me to connect with the old address, even though I changed mt apple ID. Why my old email address come upward instead of my news?

    I changed my email address and now I can't download my updates because my apple ID always happens with my old email address. I changed it to my new address, and it always happens with the former. How can I solve this problem?

    This is because any download/purchase the app store is linked to the Apple ID used to get forever.

  • I just installed, how do I disable the download of old emails?

    I just installed TB and it prevents the download of old emails...

    I don't want to download all the old emails in my account, how do I turn this off?

    Thank you

    Just like Zenos said, it is difficult for any e-mail client which messages should be downloaded or not.

    You can take a look at

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Automatically_download_messages

    In

      Account settings > Server Settings
    

    You can experiment a bit: for example, do not select "automatically download new messages.

    Know that you * not * select "leave messages on server" messages that TB extractions (any email client) remain on the server (in contrast with IMAP).

  • Why my old emails disappear from the cloud?

    Why my old emails disappear from the cloud?  After only a month or two, they are gone! (and I pay extra each month more space!)

    Hello Unhappywoman,

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    From your post, I understand that old emails are deleted after a month. This can be due to behaviors of the mailbox defined for your iCloud account.

    The following article explains how to look at these settings. My suspicion is that the section "permanently erase deleted messages when:" is set at one month old.

    Use Mail preferences to set or change options for e-mail accounts , you use mail and to work with messages and mailboxes. Choose Mail > Preferences, and then click a preferences panel for the options:

    • Accounts: Add, remove, and disable your email accounts in mail. Use only the part of the mailbox behaviors to control how the project, junk, sent, and deleted (or "Basket") messages are stored. Advanced pane includes options for messages, attachments and more.

    Set Mail preferences - help Mail

    See you soon!
