Go to Thunderbird -> Edit -> Account Settings -> ghesk...@shentel.net

IMAP MAIL Server
Okay.
Please run the following commands and post your console session:
2024-01-12 11:49:46 root@taz ~
# cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
12.4
Linux coyote 6.1.0-17-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Debian 6.1.69-1
(2023-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Okay.
2024-01-12 11:49:56 root@taz ~
# dpkg-query -W thunderbird
thunderbird 1:115.6.0-1~deb12u1
Okay.
Searching for the Thunderbird message filter configuration files on my
computer:
2024-01-12 12:31:57 dpchrist@taz ~
$ find .thunderbird/dpchrist -iname '*filter*'
.thunderbird/dpchrist/Mail/Local Folders/msgFilterRules.dat
.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he-1.net/msgFilterRules.dat
.thunderbird/dpchrist/ImapMail/november.he.net/msgFilterRules.dat
I have no such directory structure where subbing my id for dpchrist
might hide:
gene@coyote:~/.thunderbird$ ls
'Crash Reports' f37v8icg.default-default installs.ini 'Pending
Pings' profiles.ini twpgj5qd.default
Use find(1) instead of ls(1):
$ find . -xdev -iname '*filter*'
However, I do have in my home dir, an mbox file dated the 7th:
Which may result in a clue about my raid10, its msgs from SMARTCTL
running as root to me I've never rx'd containing warnings about /dev/sde
which is part of that raid10 that is the systems /home directory.
So I'll take a break here and go investigate that.
It does lead to another question, how do I incorporate that into tbird
so I get important status msgs from root?.
I have the same need for both my Debian and FreeBSD machines.
Please post the contents of your Thunderbird message filter
configuration files. Redact if you must, but understand that we
cannot debug what we cannot see.
Appreciated David. If it happens again I will do as much of the above as
I can, It does seem as if my input sorting filters are working
noticeably better now. This is an imap account, aliased to mail2world
by my isp. I hve increased the period of the savr's whn editing a long
reply, from 5 minutes to ten, but hve made no other changes.
How ever t-bird has so many hot keys that pop up some config page as I'm
typing what looks like a legit sentence that I may have commanded
something by continuing to type after the popup shows up as it steals
the focus when it does. I wish there was some way to disable that crap
until I actually want to do some config stuff.
Edit -> Settings does not seem to offer a way to turn off hot keys (?).
All I can suggest is that you slow down and concentrate on your fingers.
Typed the above before I noted the mbox file. Thanks David. New thread
when I find out whats wrong.
Take care, stat warm, dry and well.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
Same to you. :-)
David
