Windows 7 Pro, Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit), Thunderbird 102.10.1 (64-bit)

First Issue: -Thunderbird email was set up a month ago, imported 20G+ messages upon initiation, then imported per normal for a couple of weeks. -Hasn't imported new messages since 04-26-23. -Bellsouth account functioning normally on Yahoo.com website. -No settings have been changed on Bellsouth.net or Thunderbird.

Thunderbird Error Message when "get messages" is used. This happens several minutes after initiation, with the blue progress bar lit up the whole time: "The DELE command did not succeed. Error marking a message as deleted. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Too many requests."

What does this mean? For one thing, I haven't deleted anything in Thunderbird or in Bellsouth.net since the Thunderbird account was set up that I know of.

Second Issue: Thunderbird has never imported Sent Mail (and other folders) from Bellsouth.net.

Thanks

For the 2nd issue: POP accounts, such as with inbound.att.net, only download the Inbox. To download (sync) other folders such as Sent, the account must be IMAP.

First issue: The deletion might refer to messages deleted from the server after download, the normal action for POP accounts. No idea why there's an error, but it might just be referring to the bandwidth limits imposed by AT&T.

Thank you. I'll be looking into that.
