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.
