I am using Edge browser. When I send a message from my Gmail account to anyone, the message appears in Mozilla Thunderbird. (it uses the same Gmail account.
I have tried Mozilla Support but it does not help.

If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have NO luck at all.

Re: Mystery Copy
Where does the message appear? In the inbox, or as a sent item, or somewhere else?
Have you configured Thunderbird to use POP3 or IMAP to access your gmail?

Re: Mystery Copy
Hello StuartR, I use POP. If I send an email in Edge browser, it appears it TB inbox.
If I send mail using TB, it appears in Gmail All Mail folder.
I also get mail on my Android phone, its hard at times to remerber if I have opened it.

Re: Mystery Copy
You might find things a bit less confusing if you use IMAP instead of POP. This will cause changes to replicate so that when you move, or read, a message on your browser or Thunderbird (or Android app) the same change will happen on all the others.

Re: Mystery Copy
Years ago, I used TB using IMAP, it tended to over ride my preferrences, so tried POP3 as it was then. It suited my Modus Operandi as I could decide what happens when accessed using POP.
I might never have tried TB again if Google had left it's mail app as it was.

Re: Mystery Copy
NO. I have had bad luck trying new things.

Re: Mystery Copy
I wouldn't recommend using the new Outlook for now. It's another half-baked product that lacks features. Perhaps in the future...
(For example, it lacks support for both POP3 and IMAP!)

Re: Mystery Copy
I had an outlook.com account in the Windows Mail app. I use it to open .eml files and to test the font in my other mail accounts.
After trying it, I returned to the original setting. Some how MS did not like what I had done, calling it a violation of something or other, so I just created another but it is hotmail and still works. I never got the outlook one to allow access.

Re: Mystery Copy
Seems there is no one at Thunderbird Support who have tried what my problem is. I have tried IMAP settings on the portable version, it does the same.
