Hi There!

just updated to a new thunderbird version (102) - and my workflow got totally messed up! Usability is a catastrophe

-> Mails are Threaded - I DONT WANT THAT -> Virtual Search Folders lost their functionality -> Mails sent as an answer from a virtual folder, donT get into the right sent folder

I have a virtual search folder (placed under Locale) called "current mails" where I see every mail from different mailboxes thats either 14 days old max , unread or marked important (with a star)

... had to recreate this folder after the update, because it was gone

- and I have many other virtual search folders, that have lost their function!!, I have to set again the folders in which mails should be searched for - it will take hours to make all folders working again


really the worst: When I send an answer to a Mail from that folder (the mail still is inside the correct inbox) , my answer mail doesnt get stored into the "sent" folder of the mail account - but into a "sent" folder of Locale!! WHY !!!

Please help me there

I am so heavily frustrated !!!! I am crying out loud "Total desaster - absolutely Unusable!" Really - I will change my Mail client within the next hours - I am Thunderbird/Firefox(Firebird) User from the first day! if that means something...

Thanks! Hendrik

... it seems to be even worse!

Every single Mail that I send is placed into "local -> Sent" instead of "[mail account] -> Sent"

Aaaaaahhhhh - WHY???

Have you at some point in the past, renamed an account?
