How can I get my e-mails when I get a message that the folder inbox is full?

I can't get my e-mail and the e-mails in my inbox have disappeared from Thunderbird, (but not from my server's web mail), so I can't divide it into several folders on Thunderbird to alleviate the problem. I don't know what happened to my old e-mails and I can't get new ones. I did go to my server's web site and deleted a huge number of e-mails there, but that didn't solve the problem. In fact, I wonder if this procedure caused my inbox to somehow disappear in Thunderbird.
I get a message that says "The folder inbox is full and can't any more messages. To make room for more messages delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder."
I have a new Mac with Maverick. However, in case this matters, all of my old files were migrated to the new Mac, including e-mails. Most of the old e-mails are in a separate folder, however. How can I restore my inbox and also get new e-mails?
Thank you very much.
I just thought of something else. I just changed my password with the server. Could this be the problem? I am able to *send* e-mail with Thunderbird, however.

Technically the limit of 4Gb per folder should have been removed in a recent patch. Personally I an unconvinced as the developers have said so twice before and something else arose to bite people at 4Gb. So the limit probably does not exist anymore and moving mail and compacting will fix it without data loss if it occurs as recent issues have been about displaying mail after the 4Gb point, not storing it.
Use the Ctrl and Shift keys in conjunction with your mouse to make multiple selections.
click followed by Shift+ Click selects everything between the two clicks, including the items clicked.
Holding the Ctrl key while clicking allows you to select or deselect mail to either fine turn the list from shift clicking or to make one of your own.
Ctrl +A selects everything in the list from the current selection to the end.
One option is create an important folder and move your important stuff to it then ctrl +A the whole remaining inbox.

  • I have a iphone 4S and I get a message that the pair list is full- how do I resolve this issue

    I have a Iphone 4s and I want to pair a bluetooth headset and I get a message that the pairlist is full. I deleated all the phone on the list and now cannot pair a new devise. I have no option to delete the other bluetooth items that I though I already deleted. STUCK ????

    Try turning Bluetooth off and then resetting the phone (by holding the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo -- ignoring the off slider that appears first, then releasing).

  • How can I set up a new account without auto deleting messages on the server?

    Ive got accounts on COMCAST.NET (are those imap accounts?) and when I created a user account on Thunderbird for one of them the autocreate process immedaitely started downloading messages from my server before I was able to set the "keep messages on server" flag. (Its been a few months, forgive me if I am not using the exact right option text but you get the idea.)
    How can I create a Thunderbird account that will download all the message on my server (comcast.net) and leave them all there?
    That's the only thing keeping me from switching to Thunderbird. Please help - comcast's online web client is not the most bug free thing in the world.
    (Note, I am setting up a new win7 system, had been using OE 6 on winXP. I assume I am better off trying this than running OE in XP in a virtual window - and even if I moved my old message bases from XP I still need to create an account that won't immediately start downloading/deleting messages from my server before I can configure it not to.)
    Any help appreciated.

    Comcast only offers POP accounts, and one way to set up the account and enter all the settings before it connects to the mail server, might be to do it Offline:

    The server settings are given [http://customer.comcast.com/help-and-support/internet/setting-up-thunderbird/ here], but the method is for Online account setup.

  • HT5500 how can you log out of your account. i don't like that the facebook app automatically logs me in even after i log out.

    i want to enter my password every time i get into facebook

    You can still access facebook outside of the integration. I do it all the time. You just have to do it differently. I choose to access facebook via safari so I can upload photos, comment on posts, etc.
    THere are also third party apps that can be used to access facebook with a bit more control than the integration.
    The facebook and twitter integration assumes that you want to be logged in all the time, every time and post anything and everything to their services.
    The only way you can really control what you put on facebook or twitter is to not use the integration and use apps or a browser.
    For your situation, try using safari and then tell it to not remember your passworld. That should force you to log in each time. If it won't remember that then use Safari and log out each time so you always have to log in.

  • How can I display an e-mail when the message is in HTML?

    I occasionally receive e-mails whose messages are in HTML.
    They're unreadable unless I save them outside thunderbird as files with the .html extension and open them in firefox.
    Is there some less cumbersome way of reading them directly in thunderbird itself?

  • How can I delete an apple ID , when I didn't even verified the account ?

    Hi ,
    Can you please help on solving a problem . Long time ago I was trying to register an iPad with my email. A verification email was sent to that email,but I didnt verify it. Now I want to registe rwith that mail , but a message appears "this email is already in use" or sth like that. Please advise how to delete that account ( if exists) or to make new registration with my email address?
    thanks

    HI,
    Just because and Apple ID email is not verified does not mean the account is not created. (usable may be another matter)
    Are you trying to Login here with the Manage option.
    This will take you to the Apple ID page and tell you if there is an Verified Email as the Apple ID and whether there is a recovery email in use.
    There is a menu on the left to sort any Recovery email and set Security Questions.
    You are most likely to need to verify the Apple ID you were trying to create.

  • How can Bookmarks menu 'Seperators' be removed when they don't appear in the Library dialog window?

    Bookmarks menubar drop down list has extra seperators. After importing HTML favorites from other computers and consolidating the imports, there are several seperators that can not be removed. The Library dialog does not show these top-level seperators.

    If you click the bookmarks menu item in the window, on the left, you should be able to select and delete the separators, on the right.

  • And why is it suddenly in english ? I startet from a german installation. How can i protect one E-Mail account with a password may be the office part and give

    may be in the office with a password, and give the other free for the rest of the users without password, the master password didn't help here I mean, or the handling for this is not clear to see for me

    There is no full or partial password protection that is really more than an inconvenience.
    You could however use the operating system permissions, but again whole application would be the result.
    I have heard of updates occasionally reverting to English, an install will set it back. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html as data and program are separate reinstalling will not be an issue.
