When I try to access IMAP folders, I get an abbreviated error message which appears momentarily and then disappears, where do I find those messages to read?

Thunderbird Email and messaging

Since the latest update I can no longer access my IMAP folders, which I could before the upgrade. I get an abbreviated error message which appears every so briefly, it's unreadable because it's available for too short a period, and it's full of ellipsis. Where do I find these error messages so I can figure out what the problem is?

Hi David, how are you accessing the folder?

If you mean in the left column in Thunderbird, a moderator/admin can move your question from Firefox to Thunderbird.

Thanks, yes, I don't know how the question I posed while accessing Thunderbird help ended up in Firefox , but that would be a good idea.

I posted the same exact problem a few days ago, but no one was able to help yet. Can someone please offer their input/advice? Thanks!

By the way, here's a picture of the error message I've been getting. It's probably similar to the error message that you've been receiving, DavidFnyc.
