johnoo Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Using Thunderbird e mail on my standby laptop. Sent a mail today & got the message in the title. Did trial by sending another e mail to myself & it arrived & is shown as sent. So questions:- 1 What does "Unavailable UID Fetch" mean"? 2 Did my first e mail get through?

Belatucadrus Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 What mail server did you use, what I can see this seems most common with Yahoo accounts with various fixes suggested from using the Thunderbird "compact folders" function to logging on to your mail webpage and having a good clear out. Check this As to finding out if it was sent I'd check on the appropriate webmail page and see what shows up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnoo Posted October 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 OK, thanks I've checked the compacting & it's set to copact more than 20 mb's I'm using BT Yahoo a/c, if that is what you mean by mail server Don't understand this statement:- As to finding out if it was sent I'd check on the appropriate webmail page and see what shows up there.

Belatucadrus Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Try logging in to your e-mail account on this page, you should be able to see what's in the sent folder from there. Click Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click Here OK, thanks done that & it shows + person I sent to has replied so I will forget about the message until later. But should I clear down my "Sent" box to stop further messages?

If there are hundreds of mails going back years then culling the obsolete stuff is probably worth doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
