A vertical blue bar has appeared between folder icon and folder name

work37

A vertical blue line/bar has appeared between the folder icon and the folder name. I can change the icon colour in properties for a folder but the blue bar stays blue. It is blue regardless of the state of messages in the folder (whether read or unread). Is it possibly related to the bug where Thunderbird tries to update every time I open T? But help says T is up to date. The blue line does not appear on my wife's Thunderbird running the same software version under a different profile. It is very annoying not knowing why it is there and what it means. Thanks

Blue is the standard color of an account if you don't customize it in account settings. The colored bars are only displayed in the folder pane when you use the "All Folders" view (see image)

Many thanks. That has solved it.
