Problems with a huge amount of messages - it stopped archiving
Thunderbird 102.2 PORTABLE. Trying to get my files off the server. I had a LOT of files and it's not sorting/moving to the correct folder. It's like the system STOPPED filtering and moving files. App is running off of terabyte SDD for now, so plenty of space. Circled extensions are NEW as of today. I loaded the extensions, shut down TB and restarted TB.
Also, no physical way to
- "See" the progress
- "Stop" this addon (Let it run all night with no progress)
You can activate the extended logging under general. Then you can check what the addon is doing in the console (under Thunderbird extra\dev tools\error console) It should log something like how many messages should be archived for every folder.
As the addon "only" tells thunderbird to archive all these messages (depending on your options) and then thunderbird is doing the job, it might be a problem of thunderbird itself to archive them if you really have a LOT of messages. You may watch what thunderbird is doing under extras\activities.
But as you alread said you have waited a whole night it is very likely that something has crashed. Therefore I suggest you try to start with a smaller amount of messages. For example increase the number of days. Once you can archive, decrease the number again.
Fantastic idea. Sorta started to work. I started setting all 4 settings @ 1400 days. Appeared to have worked until 1000 days. I re-ran it at 1050 days (all 4 items). Appeared to work again. Tried 1000 ... locked up. Not sure if it''s the number or the files....
Did not work ... sort of. The size has to get so small, it's useless to use. I re-imported ~1000 e-mails that needed to be re-filtered. Press AutoArchive button and it says it's working, yet no progress bar or anything in the Activities section. I like the idea of only keeping NNN days on the server. Any other suggestions?
Update: Shut down and restarted TB. This is what keeps happening and gets stuck. Any way to re-start the sync?
