Thunderbird link opens different page

Post by PaulH2021 »

Plagued with unwanted Riteway Claims emails I clicked on the 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom and unsubscribed, and only then noticed the header was for my energy provider, with a completely different URL to that displayed when hovering over the link in the Riteway email. Clicking again displays the same page so it's not as if I was on the wrong email.
Thanks.

Right click on the name of the folder in which that message is found and select "Properties" from the context menu, then click on the "Repair Folder" button.

I expected that to go through a repair process with perhaps a scroll bar, but all that happened was a flick of the screen. Still doing the same thing.

Hi

Take care that it is not an URL "spoof"...

Example here : https://www.mysite.com
The url TEXT show "mysite.com" but the url actual LINK is "anothersite.com".

If this is not the case, there is also the possibility of a url redirect on the web server side...
