Received message left in inbox get purged after restarting thunderbird

Sometimes when I leave received message in my inbox, rather than disposing of them in some other way, graand then close Thunderbird, the message get purged the next time I restart the program. How I make sure that any messages in the inbox will stay until I dispose of them myself.

Look at Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Message Storage and uncheck "Clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on Exit"
I'm assuming you use IMAP. Did that work?

  • Sent messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird

    Hi, my problem is that sent messages do not appear in the sent folder unless I restart Thunderbird. I have the sent 'copies' box de-checked as if not although it syncs I end up with two copies (of sent messages).
    I am using Thunderbird 31.2.0 on OSX Yosemite connecting via IMAP to ZOHO mail with STARTTLS on 587 for SMTP.
    Hope you can advise, I've tried SSL/TLS on 465 also and it is the same. It's a bit of an inconvenience not being able to view the sent messages.
    Many thanks

    Interesting to know (the RFC violation) but as you say, perhaps not relevant as such, although if ZOHO wasn't auto-placing a copy in sent then I could check the 'place a copy in' option and it would work ok.
    Anyhow, I tried your recommendations and yes, I use both an Android and an iPad to also check my mail but with both disconnected from Wi-Fi the problem still persists. There are a few warnings being reported in the TB error console on the Mac but they just relate to 'mso-table-lspace' for my INBOX.
    And for info in Thunderbird on my Ubuntu laptop the problem is exactly the same -
    'Place a copy' checked - Messages instantly appear in the sent folder but there are two copies.
    'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 5 - Messages only appear in the sent folder after restarting Thunderbird
    'Place a copy' de-checked/Cached connections = 1 - Messages appear in the sent folder on clicking out of the folder and back in.
    On Ubuntu there is nothing at all in the error console.
    I can work with how things are at this stage as I don't live in the sent folder (rather the inbox), and when you click into it (with the connections cache at 1) the messages do appear, so I suppose that's actually ok.

  • Inbox get corrupted after 3 GB size

    Like outlook if Inbox size is greater than 3.X Gb and not supported by Thunderbird now, then Fresh Inbox should be created
    and mails must get downloaded into that, can it is possible
    OR
    Can we get popping message that the Inbox size or any mail folder / mailbox size is reaching to max allowed size so as to take necessary action by user
    Actually all the options like Filters, Folders, junk mail deletion, Compacting is tried by us but all are manual type and no surety that end user will maintain it every time as Each Local folder has 4GB limitation also,
    When the User is on tour or not accessible this problem of Inbox Full become more severe , so need above stated solutions for it.
    I hope friends who reply may consider my helpnessness

    The best method is to use the Inbox as an Inbox for incoming messages and not as a general storage.
    The Inbox folder as shown in the Folder Pane, is in reality, an mbox file.
    Emails are downloaded and written to that one file, one email after the other.
    So currently you have 'all your eggs in one basket', to quote a phrase. All your emails are in a single document.
    I suggest you create folders and organise your emails by moving them into suitably named folders. eg: Family, Friends, Bills, Online Orders, Thunderbird etc.
    Delete any emails you do not want.
    Empty the 'Junk' and 'deleted/Trash' folder.
    Right click on folder and select eg: 'Empty Junk'
    Also check the 'Sent' folder as this can also get quite large.
    Deleting anything you do not want to keep.
    Then compact all folders to remove the hidden 'marked as deleted' emails.
    * File > Compact folders.
    It is also a good idea to Archive all older emails, say anything older than a couple of months.
    To do this, set up your Archive Options to store by monthly (If you send and receive several emails each day). Select to keep folder structure. Then Archive emails including the Sent folder.
    Info on 'Archive Options' here:
    * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/archived-messages
    This will reduce the size of your folders and make it less risky.
    Additional good helpful info:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keep_it_working_-_Thunderbird
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders
    I use an addon to help me know how big folders are getting.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/extra-folder-columns/
    I have only the 'Size' column displayed, but it also offers Total emails (also useful) and Unread.
    see image below as example.

  • Firefox will not launch I tried the things in article on error I received (which I no longer get, even after re-boot) and nothing. I tried uninstall/re-install - nothing HELP

    At one point I did get the error msg that it was already running, I tried the fixes in the article on that error and still nothing. I do see it create the parent.lock file (file size is 0) but I get no further. This started yesterday (Jan 3)possibly after an update. At one point it did finally launch but not since. Worst is, it is set as my default browser, so now I can't launch anything from my email.

    If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
    If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.
    *Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html):<br>File > Import and Export
    *Import the HTML file in Firefox:<br>Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Bookmarks from HTML
    See "Import from another browser" and "Import from file":

  • Safari Minimized Windows Get Lost After Restart

    If I have any minimized windows when I quit Safari, I can't make them visible after I re-launch Safari without some extra trickery.
    They are shown in the Window menu, with the "◆" bullet prepended, but when I select one of them, the bullet is replaced by a ckeck mark, and the frontmost window loses focus, but the minimized window isn't shown. It's as if the window is fronmost but not visible, as if it were positioned outside of the viewing area.
    If I then select View > Enter Full Screen, the window becomes visible and remains so after I exit full screen mode.
    Has anyone else seen this behavior? It's obviously a bug of some sort, but I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced it bufore I report it. I have a hunch that it might be limited to Safari 7 and Mavericks running on older hardware. I'm currently using Safari 7.0.4 in OS X Mavericks (10.9.3), but I have noticed this ever since upgrading to Mavericks. I'm not sure exactly how old my MacBook Pro is, but it's old.

    Is this system in domain ? 
    The new group policy is named “Force
    a specific default lock screen image” and can be found in this path in the group policy editor: “Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative
    Templates\Control Panel\Personalization”
    Is this configured?

  • Fonts get disables after restart.

    I'm having a strange issue with my Macbook Pro where almost all of my fonts in Font Book get disabled every time I restart my computer. Even if I reactivate them, and restart again, they revert back. I can't seem to find any information on why this is happening.

    Sounds like a corrupt font database. Restart in safe mode. That flushes the database and font caches. Restart normally and reset everything with Font Book.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 iMail - not receiving messages

    Can anyone let me know how I go about fixing a problem that has occured with my iMail application?
    Since I upgrated my G5 OS system to Leopard I cannot receive messages into my inbox from my btinternet.com emailing address. I have been in touch with BT and they have tried to resolve my problem using their technicians who are mac trained and can work remotely on the computer. Mails can go out successfully but nothing seems to come in. Is there is a problem with the actual application? Can I re-install iMail application only using the DVD? Or is there a simpler way of resolving the problem please?

  • I installed a suggested update, now I am not able to send/receive messages. How can I fix this?

    I installed a suggested update, now I am not able to send/receive messages.  Any advice on how to fix this problem?

    No third party apps, no signatures, we've cleared out contacts and are using just the numbers.  She ended up dropping her phone and got a new one.  She has a Galaxy S5, I'm still on my Lumia 928.
    I did a live chat with someone here, based on her suggestions we both power off our phones, remove/replace simm cards, restart phones regularly and this issue is still occurring.
    This issue ONLY happens with her, even when I'm at places that have horrible service, I receive messages/calls from everyone except her after I leave the trouble areas.  My phone tells me she is receiving my messages when she claims she isn't, her phone tells her I am receiving her messages when I am not.

  • I am not able to send/receive messages from one number intermittently.

    I have a friend, who is also through Verizon, and we are both having issues being able to send/receive text messages to/from each other.  I have no other issues with anyone else, only this one number.  I have checked that both phones are running current updates, I have a Lumia 928, she has an Android phone I'm unfamiliar with.  But we only have the issues with each other.
    Any suggestions, please
    Thanks

  • JMS Queue is not accepting requests after restarting the weblogic server

    Hi,
    JMS queue is able to receive message after redeploying the application or restarting the weblogic server. It is intermittent , not happening every time.
    Please suggest how to resolve this issue. do we missed any configuration settings we are missing at clinet side or server side.
    we are using Weblogic 92 MP2 version.
    thanks.
    [email protected]

    I assume you meant "is unable to receive messages".
    Are you getting any exceptions in the code, or errors in the log, or is nothing happening when you know there's a message on the queue to be read?
    Are you perhaps reading from a distributed destination?

  • HT201272 I rented a movie, watched half of it. Had 27 days left until it expired. After 3 days, received a message saying the movie had expired and it appears deleted from my rental folder. Any ideas how I can get this movie back?

    I rented a movie, watched half of it. Had 27 days left until it expired. After 3 days, received a message saying the movie had expired and it appears deleted from my rental folder. Any ideas how I can get this movie back?

    You would have to rent it again.
    Once started the movie you have 24 hours to complete viewing.
    How long do I have to watch a rented movie?
    You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.
