Unable to delete emails from inbox - again!!

Post by Antonym »

I have suddenly found that TB will not allow me to delete emails. I read various posts on the subject and tried all of it, including re-establishing the Trash can. Nothing works. Rather than continually remove clumps of the little hair I have left, I've found that I can remove used emails to the archive box and empty that occasionally... ](*,)

* What does the "- again!!" in your subject mean? Has this happened in this Thunderbird installation before?
* How is that mail account set up, as POP or IMAP?
* Please confirm what you mean by "re-establishing the Trash can."
* Are you using an antivirus and/or a firewall program? Which one(s)?
* Do you regularly compact your folders? Check http://kb.mozillazine.org/Compacting_folders for more information on compacting folders.
