I recently archived a large number of messages from one of my IMAP accounts. After that, new messages show up as unread headers, but when I click on them, nothing shows up in the preview pane and the status just seems to get stuck on "Loading message". I have done the "Repair Mailbox" thing a couple of times. After a restart, Thunderbird reloads the headers from the server, but I get the same result.

So my microsoft office365 email account that I access with Thunderbird is almost full (think 100,000 messages), and I would like to move those messages off of the server and into local folders as backup. I've done this in the past and, while it would be cumbersome and slow, it would eventually work.

Now though, I can't seem to move more than 5-10 messages at a time to a local folder. That isn't helpful with so many emails to process! When I try larger batches, the program just balks, no error message, no emails moving, just nothing. In the past the emails would move, but then it would take ages for the mail server to catch up. Now it just isn't trying.

Any help would be appreciated!

After every update, Firefox starts to a blank screen and will not start loading the webpage url put in for over twenty minutes to a half hour. During this time other browsers on my Win 10 PC load immediately so it is not a network issue. It is Firefox. When I see that an update is pending I hesitate to do the update because I know I will lose the use of Firefox until it is ready to respond. It just hangs with "loading X.com" showing at the bottom left of the blank screen. I have been using Firefox for a long time and in the past year or longer it has become very unreliable. There are also instances where without an update it will do this and the only way I can get it to work is to clear the cache and the history through settings. What is going on with Firefox! (And lately there is an update every couple fo days!

I have recently noticed that an application is slowly filling up my disk. Until today I was not sure of which application it was. I closed all my applications, some increasing disk usage others decrease but on closing firefox, a good chunk of space was reclaimed, about 50MB. That might not seem like a a lot but my drive is constantly full, teetering around the 100-200MB free range. So if any app were to leak space it could eventually cause my system to lock up until space is cleared.

Is there any way in firefox to monitor/debug disk writes to figure out which site is leaking disk space. It could also be a firefox bug but I think it is a site.

I am trying to copy a large number of emails (about 1,000) from one subfolder to another. However, TB seems to be not up to the task. I can move one email at a time but that, of course, is not practical for my purposes. However, even if I break it down into 30 or 40 emails at a time, it copies some of them and not others. Anyone know what the problem is? I will admit that some of the emails are quite large (5-10 MB). Could this be the issue?

Working with TB 128.11.0esr (64-bit) on a Macbook running Sequoia 15.4.1.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.

I had an issue with the hidden task bar not showing up when I moved my cuser to the bottom of the screen, so I was "playing around" and messed it up. I created another profile, but lost all my bookmarks and so forth. I copied files from my old profile to the new profile, but now I can't get to michaels.com - it won't load. Also, I have my yahoo mail tab looks like it's loading, but I got in my email and when I went to blackforrest.com it does the same thing.

I still have the issue of my task bar not "unhidding" when I go to the bottom of the screen. I have to minimize my screens to see the task bar.

Can you help, please?
