(windows 7 Pro 64bit) Junk still goes into one of the sent folders but there is no empty junk in drop down menu. Sent folder is still working with no problems. I just need to know how to get the Junk icon folder back with the empty Junk in the right click drop down menu. I have checked all my account setting (5) twice, all accounts go to local folders Inbox all accounts are pointed to local folders Junk and everything worked fine don't know what happened. Also all icon for Junk has changed to sent in the account setting I have looked in the config editor and typed in folders in the search and found a few that might help solve my problem.

mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new;false

mail.server.server1.spamActionTargetFolder;mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Junk

mail.server.server2.directory;C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\y13olpg6.default\Mail\Local Folders

mail.server.server2.directory-rel;[ProfD]Mail/Local Folders

mail.server.server2.spamActionTargetAccount;mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders
