Can we see mail after in mozilla thunderbird as imap
By default, Mozilla Thunderbird does not display emails that have been deleted on the server using IMAP. This is because IMAP is a protocol that allows you to access and manage emails on a remote server, but it doesn't automatically download deleted emails to your local machine.
However, there are a few ways to view deleted emails in Thunderbird using IMAP:
- Enable "Expunge": Go to Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings > Advanced, and check the box next to "Expunge deleted messages". This will allow Thunderbird to periodically remove deleted emails from the server, but it won't automatically download them to your local machine.
- Use the "Trash" folder: In Thunderbird, you can access the "Trash" folder, which contains deleted emails. To do this, go to the "Local Folders" section in the folder pane, and click on the "Trash" folder. This will show you a list of deleted emails that are still stored on the server.
- Use a third-party add-on: There are several add-ons available for Thunderbird that can help you view deleted emails using IMAP. One popular option is "IMAP Expunge", which allows you to manually expunge deleted emails from the server and download them to your local machine.
- Use a different IMAP client: If you're using a different IMAP client, such as Microsoft Outlook or Apple Mail, you may be able to view deleted emails using that client.
Keep in mind that deleted emails are typically removed from the server after a certain period of time, usually 30 days or more, depending on your email provider's settings. If you want to permanently delete emails, it's usually best to do so using the email provider's web interface or a dedicated email client.
