Emails from the personal address list continue to be sent to junk

I have used Thunderbird without real issues for years, but after a recent update things have not gone well. Most bothersome is that it lost my junk training information. I have been reteaching the software, but it will continue to move messages from my personal contact list to Junk. It doesn't mark it as junk, it just shifts it. If I shift it back to the Inbox it can shift it back to Junk. I've got the software set to learn from my actions, and to accept any message from my personal contacts, but it does not appear to pay attention.
In case it is related (and the page suggests including more information), the software hangs regularly for 15 or 20 seconds, and takes that time too to load a message. I have compressed the mailboxes, but it didn't fix the problem. Also, when the software updated it forgot about my folders under "Mail", but I just had to re-subscribe to those to get them back.
I use Windows 7 64 bit, with Windows Security Essentials. I have no extensions enabled for Thunderbird except their usability study tool. I appear to have a surprising number of Plugins active, but these are programs on my machine not associated with Thunderbird, so I'm not sure where it is looking for those.
Thank you for your help.

That sounds like an anti virus spam add-on, not Thunderbird. But Microsoft security essentials does not do spam. So you will need to look to your providers spam settings. Your account is obviously IMAP, so anything moving mail on the server will reflect in Thunderbird.

I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses. One is personal the other is business. When I send emails from the business address, any auto-replies I get COME TO THE PERSONAL INBOX. I imagine that this is a setting? Please help!

I am using Mail 5.3 with two separate gmail addresses.
One is personal the other is business.
When I send emails from the BUSINESS address, any auto-replies/out of office notices I get come to my PERSONAL INBOX.

Edit the SMTP server list. Add a new one for the business account. Put the correct password and information for it. Give it a description so you will know which server is which. Mke sure the correct server is highlighted in the account selected and check the box to use only that server for that account. Do that for the other account also.

How can I copy contact entries from the "Personal Address Book" to a subsidiary list without typing 500 individual entries?

There is about to be a death in the family. I need to establish a mailing list of all immediate family members, but it should not contain *EVERY* entry in either my Personal Address Book or my Collected Addresses. Is there something like a drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste facility to accomplish this task?

Check this article for more information on how to create a mailing list.
When sending a message to 500 recipients you may hit a limit imposed by your email provider.

How do I change the default address book from the Personal Address Book?

Whenever I click on an email address from within an email and ask to add it to my address book, the contact is added to Personal Address Book. How do I change that so that new addresses will be added to another book?

I do not know of a way to change the default but after you click the star beside the address to add it to the address book, click the star a second time to open the edit dialog box. There is a drop down list of your address books to make the change there.

I misspelled a last name in my Contacts. I corrected the spelling, but when I receive an email from this person, the "From" is still the misspelled name. How can I correct this?

Problem not solved. I just received an new email from the person involved. Same misspelled name in the "From" field. I did as Paul_31 suggested and then quit and restarted mail.

Outgoing Mac Mail always send from the same address?

Hey y'all -
I use 3 gmail accounts through mac mail for 3 different purposes - all fine. But when I send mail, regardless of what account I send it from, recipients always recieve my emails from the same address? E.G. I send an email from addresses 1 or 2, but when they are received they are from address 3? I've also removed address 3 from mac mail, but recipients STILL see address 3 as the sender. Can anyone help? Would a reinstall of mail be appropriate, if so what would be the effective way to go about it?
Thanks in advance,
Stu

SOLVED IT!
Right, I had multiple email accounts, all gmail, address 1 2 & 3.
All mail went to the right addresses, fine. But when I compose, lets say from address 1 or 2, it ALWAYS ends up being received the other end by address 3. I only find this out until I get a reply delivered to the wrong address.
SO go to preferences, select one of the problematic addresses, then outgoing mailserver (SMTP:) in this case it will say Gmail. Click it so you get the drop down and edit SMTP list. There is a tab that says advanced. This is where I noticed the problem. On my list of SMTP servers I had one for my microsoft account, and then one Gmail one for all 3 gmail accounts. And what did I find for authentication? the username and password of the problem address that ALL my gmail accounts were sending through. You need to create SEPERATE smtp servers for each and every account, especially when using multiple accounts of the same kind (e.g. 3 gmails!)
This fixed the problem for me perfectly and now my emails send from the CORRECT selected address. HOORAH!
ALSO...
Regardless weather it by gmail or hotmail you compose from, mac defaults to using the next working server. Before setting up seperate smtp servers for each gmail I just deleted the one that was there and then it started sending from microsoft account etc... just to clarify that it works regardless of account type!

Mail bouncing/filtering emails from a known address

Hi, I have a problem with Mail 5.1 filtering emails from a known email address (in my Address Book).
If I get several emails from the same address, one after another, normally the third or fourth one is put in the junk folder, even though Mail is set to leave all mail in my inbox!
If I turn off junk filtering, the mail is bounced back to the sender.
Any ideas? It's annoying as I don't always see the email in the Junk folder.
Thanks

Thanks for your time.
Under SCOT " * " is stated so I think that is not an issue and yes xyz=abc.com is a valid domain address and mails are succesfully sent and received via Microsoft Outlook.
And, RFC Connection is fine as when tested.
SMICM = SMTP Service exist and port number as 0.
But to remind, if I send mail from xyz=abc.com to pqr=abc.com the mail is not received at Outlook but under SOST, the status is fine and indicates it is sent.
Mail is not been sent FROM same domain TO the same domain.
As, if i send mail from xyz=abc.com to samplename=mydomain.com the mail is sent and recieved succesfully
Please help.

How do I sort only on messages in a folder "FROM" the person + an email address

The most basic search a person needs is to get a listing of the emails FROM the named person typed in the block and then selecting one of the person's email addresses. T-Bird does not seem to have this function as I cannot find it in the help library. Does it have it? If not when will it be included? We do not need all the messages mentioning the person's name from everywhere. We only want to list the emails FROM that person in the presently selected folder. Every other email system I have used over the past 25 years has this feature and it is relly, really frustrating that T-Bird does not seem to have this. Probably best solved by adding FROM to the selections for the quick filter.

Use the quick filter bar.

How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email list when I start typing again?

How do I delete a incorrect email address I typed in a sent email from the suggested email address list when I start typing again?

You can't. There is no way to eliminate those remembered addresses in the mail app. Eventually if you keep ignoring that address it will go away, but it can take some time before it disappears. The only way that you can eliminate now, is by restoring the iPad to factory settings and that's pretty radical just to get rid of a mistyped email address - IMO anyway.

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

How do I reply to an email from the address it was sent to?

I've found previous questions asking this, but they are old and this seems to be a new problem - it started when I upgraded to 31.3.0 yesterday. I have several email addresses, so say "me@work" and "me@home". Mail to all addresses end up in the same inbox (I only have one inbox that I use, there's another right down at the bottom of the folders list in "Local Folder" but I don't know what this is and there's never been mail in it).
In any case, until yesterday if I received an email to "me@work" and I hit the reply button the reply was from "me@work", and ditto with home. Now if I hit reply to "me@work" the reply is set from "me@ home". Why, and how do I go back to they way it was? If this isn't possible, can I go back to yesterday's Thunderbird? I am never going to remember to check each time and am bound to end up replying from the wrong address.
Thanks.

Thanks, but I know how to do that. It's not practical when the email being replied to is a chain of emails that may run for hundreds of lines. And if the snip I do want to quote is somewhere in the middle, I would have to perform two select/deletes.
If there was a way to "select all" and then delete the selection, that would help. But that basic capability does not seem to exist.

I have 2 e-mail accounts on my Ipad, one personal and one business, how do I navigate to send e-mails from the correct address?

I have 2 e-mail acccounts on my Ipad, one personal, one business, how do I send from the correct
address? At this point it does not give me an option.

You can set a default email address here:
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > underthe Mail section - Default Account.
Any email you start will use this account by default but you can change this manuall by tapping the email address in the From field. That whill bring up a dial to select the email address you want to send from.

How to delete addresses from the pop-down list in the "To" line ?

Several times I have entered someones's address incorrectly in my address book. When I correct it at some later time, the incorrect one still appears in the pop-down list when I start typing the name in the To: line. Sometimes I don't look closely and the old, incorrect address gets entered (and then I never hear back from the person!). So how do I delete the incorrect ones? I've tried everything I can think of.
Thanks.
John

Those are probably coming from your previous recipients list.
Open Mail, Click on Window, Previous Recipents, and delete any that you don't want.
