Again, I'm not familiar with the latest version, but there used to be some option in the accounts which was check in all folders. Unchecked, it just did the inbox. It is possible that you seeing a delayed filtering affect (when you changed folders the message was there, but then disappeared before your eyes) might be the time it took Thunderbird to get around to filtering that message, or a delay in updating the index of that folder. If you have mail filtering rules and junk mail filtering, there could be a race condition between the two of them. And you could have filtering fun if something before you received it has marked it as spam, and then Thunderbird's does its own assessment. > - it is uncommon to have a valid message junked. > If it happens then I just click the junk icon of the message Unfortunately, it is not. Worse, it's often on something important. Worse still, it was on a message you've sent to someone and they have no idea about junk mail filtering, and/or have blind faith in it. There are so-many services which send legit mail in bad ways, and there are many services with far-too-zealous junkmail identifying. > Another (maybe related?) effect is that every now and then I notice > that new tabs were opened when I did not do this.

If it is false double-click detection, that could be a bad mouse button, though you said you've replaced it. There are OS mouse preferences for the double-click detection time period, you could try tweaking them. Of course going through a KVM might be the issue, and might not be resolvable. But see if the problem persists with a mouse directly attached to the computer. I've had mouse trouble in the past where inadequate power supplied to the mouse caused erratic behaviour (you'd bump the mouse and it'd wildly run all over the screen randomly and click on things - oddly this was a VERY-LONG-STANDING Linux-only issue on a dual-boot system). Mice (usually) don't use much power (other than those fancy-ass gaming mice), but there could be a cumulative effect of every USB thing drawing a bit too much. Or the mouse failing to request more than the basic tiny amount of current supplied to USB by default, because they designed it badly. I believe there are Thunderbird options for double-click behaviour, though chances are it's a complete disable rather than disabled on certain features. You could try Thunderbird's trouble shooting mode: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-mode-thunderbird There could be an oddball setting, or add-on/plug-in conflict. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
