I have several email accounts and several folders in each (yearly archives). My problem lately is when I start Thunderbird my default account inbox messages display and I can select messages at this point. When I click on any other folder it will not switch to it and the messages in the default inbox remain displayed. At this point I cannot click/select any message in the inbox, nothing happens.

I have tried to delete the Global Database, no changes.

Any help is appreciated! Brian

Have you determined then which addon caused the problem?
