Selective export/backup: junk and allowed remote content

Hello, I am planning to do a fresh Linux install and in this context I also want to setup Thunderbird completely new, starting with the default settings. However, there are two things I would like to backup and restore (export and import).

  1. The information which emails I have explicitly labelled as "Junk"/"No junk"
  2. The information from which domains I allow loading remote content

I think this makes a lot of sense because I can setup my accounts easily and the mails, addresses and calendars will be synced from the cloud, and view configuration is no big deal either. Only that kind of "user data" that was gathered over several years is something I want to hold on to, and be able to continue to use. Is this possible somehow? I am not afraid, e.g., to manually copy individual files from the profile folder, if that data is stored cleanly separated somewhere. Kind regards, Chris

For some reason, I was obliged to change the password on one of my external email box. I made a mistake creating a new mail box in Thunderbird with the same name and the new password, instead of just informing the new password on the existing mail box. I have now two mailboxes with the same name in Thunderbird. One is enough, but I can't find the way to remove / cancel the second one...

Thank you for your help

I've found that some of my emaIls in very latest Thunderbird mail client on Windows 10 have had their content replaced with a phishing email - the title of the email is as per the existing email received yesterday but the content is a phishing email made to look like a contact request from a motor insurance provider that I used years ago and the email is addressed to the email address I used when dealing with said insurance company.  It's only an issue with Thunderbird as the email looks fine on my mobile phone and in Outlook.  Either Thunderbird itself is compromised or one of the installed extensions is compromised.

Has anyone come across a similar issue?

I'm running an antivirus scan but I think I might uninstall and wipe clean Thunderbird if the scan shows no issues.

Hi I've just realised that Thunderbird has been deleting inbox messages from server with IMAP server setting. Is there any way how to turn this off? I would expect this to happen with POP but not with IMAP. Cheers Mike
