Thunderbird 31.4.0 started sending most new mail to junk

After a recent update, thunderbird started sending most of my new emails arriving to several email accounts to the junk folder for those accounts instead of the inbox. Messages that should be legitimately classified as junk are marked so (for the most part), and are also marked as "Read" -- since I have that option checked on the junk controls setting. Messages that are not junk but show up in the junk folder are most often no marked as junk and are also still showing up as "Unread". I can select those messages in the junk folder, then enter Shift-J and they are correctly moved to the inbox. Sometimes if I move an entire block of valid messages this way, the message list on the inbox is screwed up and I have to exit Thunderbird and restart to have the inbox correctly listed. This started happening just a couple of days ago. I have no special junk filters defined and I have not changed any mail account or Thunderbird settings.

Some screen captures relating to my question above.
First to show that the response to Tools-Options-Security-Saved passwords is a blank drop-down list as I said in my previous post.
( So unfortunately I can't use Airmail's advice in https://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=19006 ) BTW - thanks Airmail .
Second capture is the effect of trying to recreate one of the deleted accounts. ( I deleted the account to try to re-enter the password.)
On this capture note the "password OK" message indicating that the remote email server has accepted the password as correct.
Also note on this capture that "Done" is greyed out and if I try to proceed TB says that the account already exists.
So there seems to be no way of re-entering a password.
I've also noticed that about the time of the failure Trusteer Rapport blocked Thunderbird from taking a screen capture while I was using Firefox to access a banking site. ( Screen Cap 3) I'm not sure why Thunderbird should want to do a screen capture. I've posted another question related to this.

  • Why did Mail randomly start sending emails to junk folder?

    My mail app suddenly started sending important emails to my junk folder. I have been using mail on all of my devices for some time and have never changed any settings since I started. With the exception of some emails here and there, I have never had any issue with it. For whatever reason this week it just started sending almost everything to my junk folder. Does anyone know if theres any way I can fix this? It seems to only be my gmail account that this occurs.

    This is not working for me either, as of a week or two ago. Junk mail is marked as junk, but stays in my inbox, regardless of my junk mail settings. I have it set to move junk to the junk folder, but Mail simply refuses to do so. I tried changing the setting, closing preferences, opening prefs and changing it back, but that does not help either.
    Sadly this is the least of my problems with Mail in Leopard. I've had nothing but problems with it so far and I'm getting really frustrated. I'm running out of patience and ideas and it may simply be time to wipe out all my mailboxes and preferences, reimport all my old mail and start over from scratch again.

  • Offlineimap-notify - wrapper that adds notifications for new mail

    I've created my first little open source project (long overdue). It's a wrapper script that decorates OfflineIMAP's UI classes with notification sending for new mail, using Python's introspection facilities, before running offlineimap normally. See the man page for more info.

    Excellent.  This hits one of those little annoyances that's always seemed to never quite be worth fixing, for me.  The only thing that it seems to be missing to me is the lack of a way to set the urgency of the notifications, which seems to be reasonably easy to fix (assuming I haven't missed anything obvious or otherwise done anything stupid):
    EDIT:  There was a patch here in a codebox, but it turns out that yes, I had done something stupid and it didn't actually work.  I may or may not put a fixed version back up later.
    Didn't look stupid at first glance; can't tell now. Anyway, I just pushed v0.5.1 to address this. For completeness' sake, I added a timeout setting as well.

    Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
    ''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
    Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
    Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
    After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
    If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

    After updating to Thunderbird 24.3, the program stopped checking for new mail on start up. I now have to manually click "get Mail" for each email account. I have checked the configuration for each account and check mail on start up is checked.

  • Hi, has anyone had an issue where their iMac has started sending spam emails to all in their contact list. This has just started happening to mine. The emails are about starting a new begining with a link to I suppose some dodgey web site

    My iMac has started sending emails to all those in my contacts list. It's the same email friends are getting but there is nothing in my sent box. Have I got a virus (don't want to mention that word!!) or something on my Mac and how can I get rid of it?
    Thanks

    I had a similar issue with a Hotmail account, until I changed the password. Good luck.

  • Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?

    Is it possible to have Thunderbird send an e-mail automatically when a message with a specific subject is received?
    I basically want to create a rule that will send an automatically crafted form e-mail to the sender when I receive an e-mail with the subject line "New Swimmer". Is this possible?

    Thank you Todd, I was able to get it to work but I do have a few more questions...
    1) When I tested this, at the top of the message, before any of the text I created, this showed up: This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------040406040801080102080500 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
    2) After the signature line, this showed up: --------------040406040801080102080500 Content-Type: image/jpeg Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-ID: /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/4QAiRXhpZgAATU0AKgAAAAgAAQESAAMAAAABAAEAAAAA AAD/2wBDAAIBAQIBAQICAgICAgICAwUDAwMDAwYEBAMFBwYHBwcGBwcICQsJCAgKCAcHCg0K CgsMDAwMBwkODw0MDgsMDAz/2wBDAQICAgMDAwYDAwYMCAcIDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwM DAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAwMDAz/wAARCAC5ApUDASIAAhEBAxEB/8QA HwAAAQUBAQEBAQEAAAAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtRAAAgEDAwIEAwUFBAQAAAF9AQID AAQRBRIhMUEGE1FhByJxFDKBkaEII0KxwRVS0fAkM2JyggkKFhcYGRolJicoKSo0NTY3ODk6 Q0RFRkdISUpTVFVWV1hZWmNkZWZnaGlqc3R1dnd4eXqDhIWGh4iJipKTlJWWl5iZmqKjpKWm p6ipqrKztLW2t7i5usLDxMXGx8jJytLT1NXW19jZ2uHi4+Tl5ufo6erx8vP09fb3+Pn6/
    (It was actually much longer than that)
    Is there anyway that I can get that to go away? I obviously would prefer a nice, cleanly formatted e-mail to be sent just like I would send if I were creating it on the spot.
    Thanks,

  • E-mail won't send most of the time

    Ever since my Touch upgraded to the v. 4 firmware I've had trouble with sending e-mail. I don't have as much problem receiving mail...sometimes I can only preview my messages and but most of the time I can open received messages. For a while I couldn't send mail (I use Yahoo and the Touch already had the server settings for it), then after a couple of days it suddeenly started sending again. Now it's not sending! So aggravating!!
    The error message says "The connection to the outgoing server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars." This seems silly because it works - just off and on! Does anyone else have this issue...any solutions? Thanks

    majorv~
    I am having the same problem. I have an ipod touch that worked fine up until the 4.0 firmware. The only thing I have noticed with mine that it was glitchy when it came to sending mail (which I use yahoo). Then most recently it stopped sending altogether. My isp is verizon & I have an airport extreme. I noticed today I can bounce off of a neighbors linksys wifi. Now I have no clue who their isp is. It's either verizon or comcast. Regardless I was able to send mail using their internet. Mine on the other hand is a no go.
    I too am *extremely frustrated*. I have deleted my mail accts several times in hopes of it fixing the problem. I also updated to the latest firmware of 4.1 in hopes of it resolving the issue. I even tried using other smtp servers with no luck.
    I hope someone out here has a solution to this problem. It is very frustrating.

  • When I attempt to send a new AIM message it defaults to sending an iMessage. Is there a way around this?

    I use Mac Messages app for iMessage, SMS, AIM, & Google Chat.  When I attempt to send a new AIM message it defaults to sending an iMessage.  Is there a way around this?
    I have my preferences set to save messages history in my Mac Messages app and the issue seems to arise when I attempt to send a new AIM message to someone that I have recently had an iMessage conversation with.  I have tried right clicking the person's name in my buddy list and selecting "Start New Chat" and it appears as though I'm writing a new AIM message to them but when I send the message it defaults back to an iMessage.  AIM is used for daily communication by everyone in my company and used heavily throughout my industry.  Considering a majority of my contacts don't have iMessage synced to their Messages/AIM app on their desktop it is ineffective and disruptive to send an iMessage instead of an AIM.
    Any insight or help would be appreciated.  I'd love to find a solution without having to turn off the save messages history setting in my Mac Messages app.
    Thanks-
    Adam

    Hi,
    The Name at the "To" spot should become  a drop down  and this should show you the various ways you can connect to them.
    A "Chat" with someone can then switch between the various options if they have several ways.
    As @mac.com and other Apple issued ID can also be AIM valid Screen Names you sometimes have to take a little care.
    If you have made it to be an AIM chat though it should not switch back to iMessages even if that was the last method they used to contact you.
    I find in Mavericks (that I am currently booted into) I can double click the Buddy Line in the Buddy List (And I have my Buddy List separate) the Chat will take on the AIM item in the text field.
    This was an iMessages conversation before this.
    I presume this still works in Yosemite.

  • Thunderbird asks for wrong account password when I try to send an e-mail

    When trying to send an e-mail from gmail account A, Thunderbird prompts me for the password for account B. All identities in Thunderbird & account settings on Gmail.com are verified as correct, as well as my account settings and outgoing server settings in Thunderbird.

    To ensure that each gmail account is definately using the correct SMTP.
    First make sure the top mail account is definately set as default.
    Tools > Account Settings
    select the top mail account in list
    click on 'Account Actions'
    If it is set as default, the 'Set as default' option will be greyed out.
    Then check the second gmail account is offerd that option, but do not select.
    Start with the top one - the default gmail mail account.
    Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server
    select the first - top server and click on EDit.
    Under 'Description' give it a name that's easily identifies that gmail account.
    it is only used to help you id the account when there is more than one SMTP using same server settings.
    eg: 'Personal' or 'Business' or 'first part of the gmail email address' the bit before the @.
    Make sure the Username = email address of account which will use it. the top account in list - the one you want to use it.
    click on OK
    then Select the top mail account in the Left Pane.
    bottom right where it says what Ougoing Server (SMTP) to use, click on drop down list and select the one that says:
    eg: 'Personal' - smtp.gmail.com
    Do the same for the other gmail account
    Go into Outgoing Server (SMTP) and select the second smtp listed.
    click on 'Edit'
    Give it an identifiable 'Description' -
    Make sure the username is the second email address.
    click on OK
    Then select second gmail email address mail account and select the correct - second gmail smtp using the description to help identify it.
    when finished click on OK to save settings.
    When you are certain that each gmail mail account email address has an smtp server that is using the same Username in the smtp server please confirm.
