Believe me, the system is far too complicated, and you can see that by the pages required to explain the policy. I've tried numerous times to identify an email as SPAM, to no effect. It seems that Tbird cannot be trained. And this month, a dear friend whose email is on my Address list got sent to JUNK three different times with no action from me. Why? Why the need for a Bayesan method of training? It's ridiculous. It's not working. Does Tbird treat SPAM and JUNK the same way? If so, why two different names for the same thing? I think the programmers could spend their volunteered time in much more useful and helpful ways. I'm grateful for Tbird, but this SPAM issue is a very bad, annoying feature. Let us decide simply who the SPAM addresses are. If we make a mistake, that's our responsibility. No need for Tbird to be so patronizing. You're acting like this is too complicated for us and so you must protect us from ourselves. Typical B.S..

I am trying to install Thunderbird with my email server being Canadian (i.e. Shaw email) and an error message continues to pop up with no apparent solution. The error message is "incoming server already exists" Below is Shaw's solution which doesn't work.

Account type: "IMAP Username: Shaw email without @shaw.ca Password: My Email address; bgbraun@shaw.ca Incoming server: imap.shaw.ca Incoming server security Type: SSL (SSL/TLS option in Thunderbird) Incoming server port: 993

SMTP server settings Description: anything I want Server name: mail@shaw.ca Port: 25 Default: 587 Do you suggest changes?

Hello: w11p auto updated, tbird dev build 128.5.2 esr 64bit (only, no stable here!), so...1) I DON'T know if this is a "my" problem or a bug. I also don't know if this issue happens in stable. So, 2) Do I HAVE to use the top menu item - message>attachments>delete- (the attachment is already hilighted)?

What I needed to do: modify the already-attached pdfs to add signature.

-History: I learned the hard way that (apparently-- note the "me?" or bug, & dev build, above), that drag & drop* do not work. Moving on from that, I tried merely 1- highlighting the attachment, & hitting the delete key 2) using the R mouse button & using the "delete attachment" choice. 3) I may have tried other things but geezer excuse, sorry, I can't remember what else. They all failed, the attachments remained. 4) I ended up just creating a new msg, pasting the msg body into that new msg & editting the pdfs using Mozilla pdf built-in editor (Note: THANKS VERY MUCH, MOZ STAFF, FOR IMPLEMENTING PDF EDITOR!!!), then re-attaching the pdfs (always for this prob, as attachment).

• ideally, what I wanted to do was merely drag the attachment to the desktop, edit it, then redrag & drop the editted pdf back into the t-bird attachment pane, and tbird would recognize this modified file & replace the old unmodified file w/the modified one. Absolutely no go on my try on this. (By "no go" here, I mean that the modified file wasn't there. The original pdf w/o signature stayed, the modified pdf w/signature added never got into attachments. File name remained the same.)

So, what do I want ? Simply for context & other non-top menu items to work, to mod or delete a file in attachments. Thank you, stay safe.

I frequently add a photo for mya pj blog (A Small Drop of Ink). I am trying to get a photo from a personal email (on Thunderbird). and just can't get it there, Please help me before I go insane.

I am going to change computer. I can not sign in to my mozilla Thunderbird mailprogram in the new computer. My adress is : evaochleif.olofsson@telia.com I got following message: Inloggning till servern mailin.telia.com med användarnamnet evaochleif.olofsson@telia.com misslyckades. Best regards Leif Olofsson

Recently, I've been receiving the following message:

"The folder '[Gmail]/Trash on **********@gmail.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

I have plenty of disk space available. I have checked the security settings for the installation directory and all related directories, and I have full access to them all. I have tried windoze checkdsk <volume>: /F /R which found no problems at all. Just for fun, I ran defrag to clean-up and defragment everything, followed by another chkdsk like before. Still no joy :-( I keep getting the message:

"The folder '[Gmail]/Trash on **********@gmail.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

I am unable to sign in to an older email account I haven't used for a while. I don't remember the password and what I thought was the previous password doesn't work. Is there any way to regain access? If not, how long does the account have to be inactive before google removes it?

I have not changed my email accounts or my Google & Microsoft usernames or passwords. A few days ago when I started Thunderbird, two Google pop-ups arrive reading "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account" demanding that I deny or allow it. Why might this be happening and how do I stop it? This does not occur with other email apps such as Outlook for Windows.
