Jillian Aversa Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 For anyone out there who uses Thunderbird as their email program... Just yesterday, I started having a problem. For some reason, none of my "read" mail is showing up in my inbox anymore. When I get a new message and read it, it disappears! My sent-box has remained unaffected. Any idea what could be happening here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanthos Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Two possibilities I can think of. One is that I've noticed Thunderbird occasionally clears its list of what's in a folder; the contents aren't lost, they're just not displayed. Switching folders and switching back to my inbox would help in that case. The second is that you have some kind of message filter set up that is immediately rerouting read messages.

DarkeSword Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Check your "View" dropdown menu in the toolbar (if you don't have one, right click the toolbar to customize it and add the View dropdown menu). Check to see if it's set to "unread" and change it to "all." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanthos Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Haha, yeah. Why anyone wouldn't want to refer to read e-mails is beyond me. I mean, if you have too many old e-mails that you've read in your inbox, make a folder or something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you leave your mail in the Inbox, it's easier to search. I stopped putting stuff in folders years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
