Where is the quota bar?
I’m using Thunderbird 148, IMAP, and my folder pane folder mode is set to All Folders. I seem to remember Thunderbird showed me a quota bar so I would know how much space was left on the server. Recently no quota bar has been visible, what gives?

By default your used quota will appear in the status bar when you've reached 75%. You can change that setting in about:config (Config Editor... at the bottom of Settings > General) Look for mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold, there are three tresholds you can set. Set mail.quota.mainwindow_threshold.show to 0 to make your quota always visible.

I don't recall a quota bar, but you can check the percentage quota used by right-clicking on a folder and choosing Properties. There's a Quota tab there. Not very convenient, but it's there.
I did find mention of a Quota Bar add-on from long ago that appears to have been abandoned by the author.
Lin, Thanks for that, very handy. I had no idea it was there, Alan.
