Thunderbird folder compacting changes old message headers which greatly increase size of incremental backups

Hi,

TL;TR. Thunderbird should not change the whole folder (e.g. Inbox) during compacting by replacing "From" with "From - Mon May 3 20:50:30 2004" and the other way round. It dramatically increases the size of incremental backups done by tools detecting only blocks of bigger files which change.


Longer version. I use Borg to backup Thunderbird profile. It supports deduplication and can incrementally backup only parts of bigger files which have changed. As I use filters to automatically move messages from Inbox to the other folders, before backup, I perform compacting of the Inbox folder to effectively remove moved messages (and those deleted manually - e.g. the biggest ones). I worked pretty fine - there were no changes detected by Borg in the old messages. Only new messages were backed up.

However, it worsen in the recent months - Borg started to detected changes also in the old messages in Inbox (after compacting performed before the every backup session). As a result, a (compressed) incremental copy takes ~1/3 of the whole Inbox (instead of some MBs). For Inbox having 5GB+, it can be a problem (e.g. when - slow - network storage is used).

I diffed the Inbox file before and after of recent compacting and Thunderbird around an upgrade to 128.x (I cannot tell exactly which minor version it was) changed the "From" line for every message from just "From" to "From - Thu Nov 14 22:32:10 2024" (a date when the compaction was performed). In older backups I see that some earlier versions of Thunderbird removed the date replacing the line with just "From".

My question. Had it been an accidental change (with removing the date) which was later reverted and there will be no more "rewriting" compacted folders? Or it's "more complicated" and people using incremental backup cannot sleep peacefully?

P.S. Let's skip the msf files for the moment as they are much smaller.

Hello, I can’t configure my mail account on Thunderbird because I still have the same error message: Connection failed from imap.bbox.fr server with tobidm username. I don’t understand because I use the same email and password. Is it because of imap? is it because of smtp? Because of this, I can’t read my emails anywhere but on the access provider’s website. Impossible on thunderbird or on my phone. Please help me.

Another question about FireFox. I believe I have everything set correctly, please see attachment, but FireFox is not asking me to save my sign in credentials for my Apple account. It was working two days ago when I had to count on it remembering those credentials from over 2 years ago in order to change my password. After changing it I have signed in a few times to get it to remember my new password but it isn't asking me. Any idea why and how I can correct it?

Dear Support,

I am experiencing an issue with my PEC mailbox configured in Thunderbird. In the sender column, an incorrect email address often appears, unrelated to the actual sender of the received email. In some cases, I see the phrase "on behalf of:" followed by an email address that has no connection to the message in question.

This issue makes it difficult to correctly identify the real sender of emails. I have already checked my account configuration and updated Thunderbird to the latest version, but the problem persists.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this behavior?

I am available to provide further details or screenshots of the issue if needed.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Since moving to Windows 11 and reinstalling Thunderbird, I cannot access emails by this route. I have a domain hosted by Easily and can get to my emails directly through their Control Panel, but using the same email, password, ports etc through TB it fails to find the account. I have rechecked all the settings with Easily and tried several times entering them manually in TB, with the same result. What else can I do?

I placed it in the location: C:\Users\............\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\..........\Mail\Local Folders. However, when I opened Thunderbird, it did not add itself to the local folders

Do I need to force synchronization in some way?
