I'm running TB 38 on Ubuntu 12.04 and have 4 email accounts used with TB.

Today, Unified folder(s) (or whatever the thing's called) no longer show any emails (yes, yes, yes, the emails are still in their respective email address folders.

How do I fix this?

What does "no longer show any emails" mean? Do you see empty folders, or no folders at all?

Inbox when folders are set to View---Folders---Unified is supposed to contain all emails from all of my email accounts.

It doesn't- it's empty.

As Curly said, "a simple problem for simple people".

Solution;

Right click on the folder "Inbox" and rename it to something like Inbox 2.

Close that.

Shutdown TB

Restart TB.

FIxed.
