Problem after email is moved to trash folder

Rolandas Kymantas

Hello,

I am facing the following problem. When I delete an email and it moves to the Trash folder, Thunderbird no longer displays inbox emails. Trash folder is displayed after archives folders. After restarting Thunderbird, it is restored again. I did an inbox folder repair, but it did not help. Then I deleted the Inbox.msf file and waited for the system to recreate it, but that did not help either. I also did compact folders ->general -> Disk space, but that did not help either. If I want to use the program, after each email moved to the trash, I have to restart Thunderbird. Please, I need help with solving this problem.

Do you have automatic compacting turned on? If so, what is the threshold when automatic compacting is triggered?
