Restore sent messages properly in folder(Thunderbird)

             You get an error that a sent mail can't be copied to the “Sent” folder, whereas the mail has been sent correctly.

             The problem occurs sporadically when you send messages via an IMAP server. The sent messages must also be transferred to the “Sent” folder on the server, which is sometimes a problem. Usually, this problem can be solved by manually assigning the correct folder.
             Open the “Tools | Account settings” command. To the left, click “Copies & Folders”. The option “Place a copy in” should be activated. Change the option to “Other”. In the relevant combination field, select the mail account and “Inbox | Sent” in it. You can also select a different folder of the account or a local folder. Confirm with “OK”. If the problem is not resolved, click “Server settings” in the same dialog and then on the “Advanced” button. In “Maximum number of server connections to cache”, change the value to “1”. Confirm both dialogs with “OK”. This prevents collisions when accessing the server, but only one folder is monitored this way. You will have to increase this later.

Call up the address book without starting the main application(Thunderbird)

              You want to quickly look up an address, but you are annoyed to see that Thunderbird asks you for a connection before starting the mail accounts.

              The first option is to completely disable the automatic call-up of messages. However, there is another way in which you can directly access the address book. You can create a shortcut on the desktop. For this, right click on the Desktop and select the context command ‘New | Shortcut’. Define 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -addressbook' as the target and click ‘Next’. Then enter the name, e.g. ‘Address Book’ and click ‘Finish’. The next time you want to access the address book, simply click the shortcut that you have created.
