Folder list not updating

I use apple mail on my phone and Thunderbird on my PC and my (IMAP) email provider is GMX. I recently added a couple of sub-folders to an existing folder and changed the names of couple of others (in the same main folder). I did those changes on my phone. However, those changes are not reflected on my PC. The folders with changed names are in the folder list but greyed out but the new folders are missing. If I click on a greyed out folder it is empty. I've tried several ways to force the list to update but, so far have been unsuccessful.

What is causing my problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks for any advice.

TB 68.9.0 (64-bit). I'm using this version because I'm used to it.

Scenario:

  • I am viewing the message list, eg the inbox
  • I click a message
  • The message is highlighted in grey with a thin blue outline. However it does not have focus: for example when I hit delete on the keyboard nothing happens
  • When I click the message again (after a delay, so it's not a double-click) the message is highlighted in blue and I can now delete it from the keyboard
  • When I delete it, grey highlighting (but again not proper focus) moves to the next email. If I want to delete that from the keyboard, I have to click it to make it blue.

Desired behaviour (this always used to happen):

  • I click a message once
  • It's highlighted in blue
  • When I hit delete on the keyboard, it is deleted and focus (blue highlighting) moves to the next message so I can delete that from the keyboard immediately.

I've tried rebuilding the folder, to no avail. The config mail.delete_matches_sort_order is set to false, which is what I want (emails viewed from newest to oldest; when I delete one I want focus to move to the next one down, i.e. the next oldest one). As I say, the desired behaviour always used to happen and I don't know what's changed.

Thunderbird 140.7.1 i have a subfolder called "purchases" which I add to on a regular basis. Suddenly no messages appear after May 2014 I have logged in directly to the mail server, and all the missing messages are definitely on the server. I have checked the local filters, none are set. I have tried properties/repair. I have tried removing ~/.thunderbird/xxx/ImapMail/mail.myserver.com.au/INBOX.sbd/purchases.msf

Could it be a problem with dovecot indexing on the server? all the other subfolders seem to work fine. It's just this one.

I rescue dogs, puppies, then I do the best I can to find the best homes and families that I can for them . I use Craigslist where the don't want you to give them away for free . You are allowed to ask for a small rehoming fee . Some of these people ask for $500 dollars or more . That's not a "small rehoming fee in my world ". I say "if" they can reimburse me for the puppy's shots I'd appreciate it , but that is all . I don't believe you have to have a lot of money to care for a dog .Well my philosophy has been getting my adds flagged and taken down almost as soon as they go up . Which means my puppies don't get adopted when they are the most adoptable . I have reviewed their rules a number of times and I don't believe I violate them .I've changed the wording of my add to closely match other ads on the site but still I get flagged by other users and taken down. I am begging to believe it's from puppy dealers/sellers trying to make a buck and my puppies are cheaper .I don't want money for them I want homes , good homes .So I need a new email so they won't flag me .I suppose I might have to change it relatively often.....is this possible ?

I'm reading the question Thread's broken sorting makes it completely unusable and I have to agree that order of messages within thread is not the best one - ascending. For example, I am subscribed to a forum messages and I'm getting all the notifications for a topic to a thread. Currently I have like 85 messages in a thread and to see the newest one I have to scroll all the way down each time - scrolling 85 messages is a lot and it is getting worse because the number of messages keeps growing. After I've seen the newest message, I have to scroll all the way up to close the thread. (or am I missing something - perhaps some shortcuts?)

But I guess for some such ordering is obviously fine. Hence, I guess, an option how to sort threads might come handy. Perhaps even having a default sort order and an override per thread?

PS. funnily enough, I'll have the same issue with notifications for this question :)

First of all, Thunderbird is a vast improvement over Outlook, so I'm persisting in setting it up. Unknown to me when I researched Thunderbird, it had an "Import from Outlook" feature. Well this trolled through all of the PST files on my computer and succeeded importing a fair amount before quitting saying that the errors were in some error-file that I can't find (Does anyone know where this error file is located?). So I have a large amount of what I need imported. Strangely, some folders have nothing initially then some time later, the emails are there! But I find the "Favourite" setup annoying. Thunderbird mirrors the setting of favourite with the target folder when you drag it to a higher level. In contrast, Outlook just creates a link to the target folder in its original location. I find Outlook's approach a lot better but still not worth the move back (Is there another way to create a Favourite in Thunderbird that does change the original folder?). Thanks for any help.
