[Bug 673931] Re: unable to move or delete messages without restarting TDB
Problems associated with deleting or moving email usually stem from failure to compact mail folders, especially inboxes. This is because deleted email is not removed from the application until you compact (expunge is the technical term). This can be done automatically by a setting in your email account. Manually is simple enough. On any mail folder do this: right click/compact (or File/Compact Folders). This is especially important on inboxes but also, any folder from which you regularly delete/move email. If you are experiencing problems you probably have a lot of uncompacted mail so be patient the first time and watch the activity bar for its status (at the bottom of the application).

Thanks for your reply Mario, but if you read attentively my bug description, all inboxes and folders were compacted (even junk mail folders and bin) and the trouble was still present. I finally fixed it creating a new profile and copy in all my personnal parameters files (sqlite, dbs, json files ...) BTW, I must say that there is a long time this issue didn't reappear. Now I'm running ubuntu 12.04LTS and TDB 24.2.0 Philippe -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673931 Title: unable to move or delete messages without restarting TDB To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/+bug/673931/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 673931] Re: unable to move or delete messages without restarting TDB
One thing more that may help : I use some filters to sort any emails and move them in some other directories When the issue is on then the messages are not filtered anymore and go down within the inbox directory. If I try to force the filter, it doesn't work and the message keep on inbox then, in this case too, I have to restart TDB to get it working. All my filters are setted with check the message after sort or execute by hand (this is a translation from french, it might be a bit different in correct english) -- unable to move or delete messages without restarting TDB https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673931 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
