These features go a long way in protecting users from dubious emails. ![]() One good thing about using Thunderbird is that it provides additional email filtering functionality that incorporates a Bayesian spam filter, a whitelist based on your address book, or classifications by server-based filters like SpamAssassin. You can archive emails and retrieve them later or delete emails and move them to the Trash section. From the app, you can reply to emails or forward them to other addresses. Thunderbird offers the same functionalities that you’ll expect from your email provider. Just launch the Thunderbird app, and you can view all your emails from there. Hence, anytime you want to read emails, you don’t need to open multiple websites on your browser. You can add as many email addresses as you want to Thunderbird. It’ll redirect you to the domain of your email provider where you’ll need to grant Thunderbird permission. If you have an email with any of these services, just go to Thunderbird’s login page and input the correct credentials. It supports three email providers Gmail, GMX Mail, and Outlook. You can use the Thunderbird app to manage multiple emails from one spot. Thunderbird offers many features to help users stay on top of their communications.

Thunderbird is not my strong suit to say the least. He has also lost his address book and I have no idea how to try to get that back. I thought they would be synced to his thunderbird account but I guess not? I did take a back up of all of his files that were kept in his File explorer but that did not seem to hold the local folders that were kept on thunderbird. I have found a couple of folders but when I try to open them it comes up with an error message saying that the folder's location is unavailable - "E:\Boat is unavailable" - He can still get emails, send emails, and put new emails into new local folders that are newly created but I can't find his old local folders or the files that were inside of them. I have spent 4+ hours trying to see if they are hidden on the computer somewhere but I haven't had any luck trying to find them. After it rebooted and we redownloaded thunderbird he had lost all folders that were kept in the "Local folders" tab on thunderbird. His computer was running very slow so I had him to a basic reset of the computer, deleting apps but keeping files. Hi, I am trying to help my dad get his local folders and address book back. ![]()
