Thunderbird help

Not the wine...
The mail client.
Had to rebuild the desktop computer and had to reinstall T-Bird. It's a little different than the last one. When I installed it and used my AOL account, it created a new folder -- READ -- and now when I read new mail, it sends all my mail there as soon as it's done being new -- about five seconds.
It's annoying as hell. Any ideas how to adjust whatever settings so it stays in the new mail folder until I decide to move it or after I close my browser.
I've prowled the settings and can't find it anywhere.

 

What version of Thunderbird and what OS?

 

Vista Home Premium and 2.0.0.9

 

K, that's the same OS and version I have. I've never had this problem.

This may sound obvious, but did you first try deleting the offending folder (after moving the mail out of it), shut down Thunderbird then restart it? If you haven't tried that, try that first.

 

If that doesn't work, try this.

Click on tools, then account settings. On the left side, highlight "server settings" then look on the right side for the advanced button.

Click it.

A new box will show up. Make sure "global in box" is selected, click ok, click ok.

If that doesn't work, we'll try something else.

 

No global inbox box to select and wouldn't let me delete the READ folder

 

Check your message filters (under the "tools" part of the menu). The program may have put a filter in that automatically sends read mail to that folder, thus why it would recreate the folder even after you've deleted it.

 

yeah, thought it was the wine. i got nothin.

 

What's the word? Thunder bird.

What's the price? A dollar twice.

What's the action? Satisfaction.

 

Didmt see a filter, but also wou;ld never let me delete the folder

 

The older they are, the sweeter they get.
