This did never occure in the past!! It did take me many hours to delete all these emails.&nbsp; Do you have a solution to avoid such automatic downloads of the old mails or can Thunderbird at least signal these emails so the deletion can be done in a less time consuming fashion?&nbsp; Or what can I do to stop such automatic downloads of older emails?&nbsp; Best regards&nbsp; Rolf</P> Thu, 20 Feb 2025 09:38:30 GMT Rolf34x 2025-02-20T09:38:30Z https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/solution-to-avoid-beinf-flooded-with-thousands-of-quot-old-quot/m-p/87196#M33414 <P>I have used Thunderbird since many years and was very happy.&nbsp; During 2025 two times Thunderbird did (again) download older mails so I was flooded with old emails which I had already read or already deleted.
