Ah yes - POC Laptop + Beer = A Mess! Info? Sure! OS = POC Vista (Sad - I know - I shoulda upgraded that OS on there YEARS Ago!) HW - its an Alienware. Would have to have the sucker booted - and then see the actual spec's. I think its only a Dual-Core. Memory is probably only like 2GB. Disk Space? Ouch - Running WAY Low - at around 4GB - total is like 250GB maybe. Last Disk Test? Last week while in Cali - because of problems - when it was booting - it automatically did the Disk Test. Defragged? Ages ago! My bad... TB Vers. - Not sure. Haven't checked TB support site in a while.
In regards to this missing Sent mail - I was just ignoring it for a while. I noticed the problem maybe a Month ago or so - maybe longer. Its only just recently that I really got Totally Annoyed with it - and thus my posting here... I have Two e-mail accounts on there. Both are POP. And, this missing Sent e-mails, I think it ONLY one the One account. But, not sure - since the Other account, it's my older e-mail, and I no longer use it as my primary e-mail, and thus I almost never SEND Emails from that account. I almost never do the Web Interface - especially since at my Day job - they don't want us doing personal e-mails on our work PC's. Thus everyone does it on their phones. Which is also what I do. But, if I am not mistaken - I believe that the sent folder DOES Show up there. But, alas - its ONLY Showing e-mails that get Sent via the Web interface - NOT from either my laptop or my desktop PC(and, luckily that one is NOT a POC trademarked unit!) :-) And - yes, once or twice lately it has done compacting. But, AFAIK - the Compacting ALWAYS Occurs in the background - and it Never shows you what's occurring during the Compacting. Am I right? Understood - definitely NO Way I should Compact while on the train! Yes - I can easily Backup my email folders - I know where they are located. But, it's the same folders on my Desktop - so that is already in theory a kind of Backup. -K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: Friday, August 21, 2015 9:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] Thunderbird - Missing Sent Emails... Bearing in mind that this is on your POC laptop and we can always blame the beer, perhaps you could offer some more info: - OS? - Hardware? - Disk space? Free? Last time you tested the disk? Defragged? - Version of TB? - Have you checked the Thunderbird support site? - What have you tried? - How is it configured? What kind of email account(s)? POP/IMAP? - Do you have access to the email account through a web interface? Does the sent folder show there? - Anything else you might think is useful (like compacting!) If I were you, I would NOT try compacting your folders while you're on a train with unreliable power and a bad battery! That's just asking for trouble. You're a lot more likely to have success if you: - Make a COMPLETE BACKUP of T-bird and it's storage folders before beginning - Expect the compacting to take ALL WEEKEND - Start the machine off, and LEAVE IT ALONE Imagine the worlds slowest PACK. That's about what you're witnessing. OTOH, if you feel like hacking a bit, T-bird stores in SQLite3 tables, iirc, and you can have all sorts of fun poking around in there.
