Hi,

How can I add a spam folder to all my Thunderbird accounts that will download all the emails that got thrown in the spam / junk folder by the provider? For example, I have regularly that I miss emails that normally aren't marked as spam (due to trusted senders) but nevertheless end up in a spam folder on, for example a hotmail account. The problem is, now I can only see those mails when I log into that account on the site itself, not through Thunderbird. Is it possible at all to download those the same way as the inbox mails are being downloaded into TB? Sometimes I miss some mails when they end up in the spam folder because they are automatically deleted within 10 days or so.

Thanks :), Dan

Set up the account as IMAP to download all folders, including spam (which Hotmail places in the Junk folder). POP accounts only download the Inbox.

For Hotmail, use outlook.office365.com on port 993, SSL/TLS, and smtp.office365.com on 587, STARTTLS; authentication = normal password, User Name = email address.

Thank you, that was really helpful :) Only downside in the tutorial of the POP to IMAP convert is that it creates loads of duplicate messages when you copy or replace them to the new IMAP account. Add-ons for this are not working, there is one add-on from that does not install due to "Not verified"

Are you installing the add-on correctly? Drag the green Download Now button from the web page and drop it onto TB Tools/Add-ons/Extensions. Note the instructions here.

Thanks, I got it working but it is not that wonderful sadly. It does not always recognize duplicates as one reviewer described, the same happens here. Clearly visible dupes but no recognition. Boils down to manual removal I guess.
