I had an infected email in my trash, using Thunderbird. The solutions offered are useless.
First, the infected emails are identified by a =message number that does not exist in Thunderbird. I suspect it is a randomly generated number created by Bitdefender during a scan, so when the forum "experts" say delete the email with message number ******, the message can't be found. NOTE: the message number is NOT the "order received" number seen in the email view pane.
Second, the other solution was to delete the entire contents of the trash folder. You have got to be kidding me. I, like everyone else, store emails in the trash folder and subfolders.
The solution is to fix Bitdender so it shows the infected emails subject line and or date, not some useless id number that exists only in memory during Bitdefnders scan.
If I'm wrong about the message number, please show me where it is, and I've looked everywhere including message source.
I was able to delete the email by sorting by name and deleting every spam suspect ever received, very , very, time consuming.
