Many moons ago I used Microsoft's Outlook as my email program. When I would open Outlook, it would retrieve all of my emails from my ISP's server, permanently removing the emails from the server while downloading them into Outlook.

When I installed Thunderbird recently, it was to do the same thing. My ISP had sent me several notices that my email account was close to full, so I was looking for an email program that worked the same way Outlook does, and removes my emails from my ISP's email server as it downloads them to my PC.

The first issue I'm having is that Thunderbird does not appear to do this? Or do I simply have my Thunderbird account/settings set up incorrectly?

My next issue is directly tied to the first one. Every time I open Thunderbird it starts re-downloading all of the emails that it has previously already copied into my Thunderbird Inbox, but that are still in my email account on my ISP's email server. This is probably 15 years worth of emails and equates to thousands of emails I'm saving, and every time I open Thunderbird it starts re-downloading them again. I simply want to be able to save them to my local email client (Thunderbird) and store them on my PC's hard drive.

The final issue is also tied to the first two: As soon as it starts downloading the emails again, Thunderbird (and only Thunderbird) lags heavily and almost continuously. It lags so badly that it becomes incredibly difficult to write a new email in Thunderbird, and so I end up closing the program and logging into my ISP's email server and using their client to write my emails, or conducting my email business via my phone, which takes longer and is more challenging due to continuous fat-fingering of the phones tiny little keyboard.

So, am I missing something, or do I have some settings in Thunderbird set up incorrectly? Or does Thunderbird simply not work the same way Outlook does (or at least use to)?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone is willing to give.

Would be nice to have a kind of "my own default setup of columns" function. In a topfolder, say Inbox I have arranged the columns I'd like to be present all over all subfolders. But Thunderbird apparantly does not work that way. Making a new subfolder somwhere I have to copy the layout from one folder that I prefer as my own general default layout and use the right click function "Apply columns to ..." .... every time making a new folder. That's a bit tiresome. It ought to be possible to have a function "Update default column layout" to my own liking. If it's already there please advice as reading forums and searching online does not give me an answer to this. Cheers

Hello, I downloaded Thunderbird in order to clean up storage on gmail account. Mainly, I wanted to delete files but keep the messages, a feature I thought Thunderbird provides. I deleted the files but they still appear on my gmail account and space size hasn't changed. I double checked the settings on both Thunderbird and gmail, as well as read and followed posts here, but it still doesn't work. I'm wondering whether I'm missing something... Any idea?

I am currently running Firefox on desktop (128.4.0esr) version.

The last few addons that I have installed are not working properly. Or rather, they work just fine, but when I close Firefox and re-open it later, they seem to fail to actually enable. I must go to the about:addons page, disable the addon, and then re-enable it for it to actually work. If I do not do this, it will not be on my toolbar, and the Extensions sidebar button does not show the addon in the list. It's as if it isn't properly installed.

After reading this post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1420017 I thought maybe my extensions db got corrupted somehow, so I followed their instructions and deleted the extensions.databaseSchema config. And wouldn't you know it, it worked! Once I restarted Firefox, I saw some notifications in the main sidebar menu and was greeted with this: Notifications Once I clicked through them and enabled, everything seemed fine.

However after closing firefox again, the problem comes back. Those exact extensions that I manually approved upon restarting are the ones that are giving me troubles and not enabling properly. An interesting thing I noticed is that these all seem to be extensions that require additional permissions. I enabled the addon and gave them the permissions they requested, so I don't know why they are failing to enable properly on startup.

I want to permanently fix the problem

I'm finding threads that include the correct emails for the subject, but also additional emails that do NOT relate to the original subject. How do I pull the other "subjects" from being in the wrong thread and create their own thread. See the highlighted emails in the attached image. Each color represents a separate thread that should stand on its own.

Thanks.

The spam people say to "limit outbound port 25 to mail servers". I have a profile listed on the webpage called "Outgoing Server SMTP Settings" from long ago .... This is the one (I have a few profiles) that is designed (Default)

Server: shawmail.vc.shawcable.net Port: 25 (default 587) Connection security - none

All my other profiles use: Server: smtp.shaw.ca Port: 587 (default 587) Security: STARTTLS

Q: Might this be the problem? Can I simply delete this profile - even if it is the designed 'Default'.

When navigating to msn.com/en-us, and about 5S after the page loads, the majority of the page is covered with an ad. This only happens when using an ExpressVPN Santa Monica connection (most reliable and fastest).

If I use another VPN server location the problem is not present. Additional information: - Location: Dongguan, China - Using Google Chrome does not cause a problem. - ExpressVPN have no solution or explanation at this time. The VPN app is set to block ads but this does not help - If I connect using Surfshark there is no problem. - OS is WIN10 64-bit fully updated. - Equipment is an Asus notebook. - This issue has only appeared on or about 5 Nov which is around the time Firefox updated. - I have updated manually but no luck.

I have attached a before and after shot.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

I'm trying to connect to my MS Exchange 2019 onsite server to get access to email/calendar.

I can receive emails but cannot send, probably because there's no password field for the smtp server. My Incoming mail is different from the Outgoing mail server hence I need to enter the password. But the only field there is for the username which is never going to work. My Exchange server is set to use SSL/TLS.

This I tried with the Owl addon. But same issue when configured for imap. I need to use my internet provider's smtp server. Everything I need for that is there, except the password field.

I have been unable to complete the update/upgrade of Firefox on my Laptop. Upon starting my computer I have downloaded the upgrade file offered in the opening message. It performs normally right up to the end when it gives a message that something went wrong. It then offers an alternate download and method to upgrade which downloads fine and begins to install. At the end of this install, the install wizard says "finished" however despite the "Launch Firefox" box is checked, it never opens Firefox. For some reason the update is not completing, and now I am having trouble with some Apps opening which I suspect is due to the browser being out of date. I have tried clearing my Cache and Cookies and re-trying but have remained unsuccessful. I really could use some assistance with getting my browser successfully updated. Best Regards, Brian
