[Beta] Unified Folders Inbox does not show all Inbox mail, nor all new/unread Inbox mail

Using Thunderbird 112.0b7 on Windows 11, with three accounts (1 IMAP, 2 Google Mail) and Unified Folders enabled, the Unified Folders Inbox will only show a few new/unread mails, but not the older mail in the inboxes.

When I toggle the "Show only unread messages" quick filter on and off, the other mails appear, but the process is very slow and it insists on scrolling to the oldest mail (>10 years) instead of remaining with the newest or selected item.

When new mails arrive, they (and only them) mostly show up in the Unified Inbox, but it's unreliable. E.g. when I was changing some Firefox account settings earlier, the email notification for that only showed up in the account's Inbox, not the Unified Inbox, until I switched back and forth between the two.

Overall I quite like this latest Thunderbird beta and it's almost made me switch back to Thunderbird (from Mailbird [no relation] or Betterbird), but this bug(?) has made me miss messages and the general performance, while vastly improved vs the last time I used TB, is still sometimes severely lacking (and lagging).

Apologies, after looking through the Thunderbird menus and not finding a proper spot for reporting Beta feedback, I have now found the Topicbox for TB Beta: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/beta

Several performance patches have been added. We know there are still issues, so more are coming - we should be in very good shape when version 115 ships in July.

You should also find that Unified is getting better. Anythign else?

Hello,

I just received the auto update 102 => 115, and my inbox is broken: I have 5 mail accounts and in unified view, I see only 2 of them. And no way to get the others up unless I switch off unified mode.

With 102, everything was fine!

thx and best regards, Thomas
