Hi all,
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
Qt Version: 5.11.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Kernel Version: 4.19.0-16-amd64
OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 4 × AMD FX(tm)-4350 Quad-Core Processor
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM
Thunderbird 78.10.0(64bit)
For some years, I have been using Thunderbird on Debian with no
problems. Over a year ago I switched to gmail.com (Imap server) for my
mail server. Everything went fine until about 6 months ago . All of a
sudden I had an All-Mail folder that wasn't there before. Since then
all of my Emails are bypassing my InBox and my filters. I decided to
sort out the All-Mail by creating a new set of filters and running
them on the All-Mail box. I completely cleaned out all 4000 or so
Emails. As soon as I restarted Thunderbird all of the old Emails were
downloaded from the web and re-filled the All-Mail box. Nothing in the
InBox. In addition, I now have multiple copies of the same messages in
all of my local folders. In short I have a real mess on my hands. I
have seen various solutions on the web but none seem to work. I also
noted that pop servers, unlike imap servers, store all of the files on
the local computer. Could switching to pop solve this problem? Are
there any other solutions? Please help.
