FC 8 , Thunderbird 2.0.0.14
I have a friend that has about 300-400 old email messages laying
in his inbox of Thunderbird and when he tries to read
New emails they are mixed in with old ones and some of them are
blank, it just a big box of sh-t .
I removed his emails and AddressBook from Thunderbird, and deleted
and reinstalled his AddressBook and old emails
back into the new Thunderbird , everything was working for a few
hours and then here we go again.
Are there Viruses that affect strictly Email Browsers like
this ??
This always seems like that he goes through this everytime he gets
a large amount of Emails stored in his Inbox.
As you kept the mbox's, have you tried to compact the boxes?
I have email going back years on my box with TB and I don't have an
issues over multiple version updates. I do know that if I don't
compact, then I have issues.
I am using Fetchexe to get my mail off the Exchange server and if I
don't compact the mailbox it goes to, after moving the mail, then
the mail will reappear.
Compact would be the same as Evolutions expunge in my books.
delete the .msf files for those mailboxes. These are index files
that have gone corrupt. Tbird will rebuild the file next time you
view the mailbox.
The .msf files are the emails, you would be deleting all your
emails ??
How about having about 300-400 emails laying in your inbox, wouldn't
that cause problems ??
Nope. The .msf files are the indexes. I just wen through this with an
inbox into which I'd watch mails download then disappear. In any case,
one should always make a good backup prior to deleting stuff.
Thanks much for the info.
