I just now saw an archive folder in Thunderbird containing 45 messages that I have either deleted or were still in my .Inbox. Actually, I have never archived any message in Thunderbird. I haven't touched any of the settings to put this auto-archiving into play. I delete messages and compact folders. on a fairly regular basis to reduce the clutter. There was also a new Inbox sub-folder marked 2026 that I had not created and don"t particularly care about having. These changes are "un-arranging" my folders and messing with my system. Anybody have ideas how this happened, and how I can prevent it from happening again? Many thanks. Your help will be appreciated.
