My backup tool blew up due to 1000's of Thunderbird files being modified.
I can't tell if this was due to some kind of malware, or if Version 115.5.1 of Thunderbird went through the database/file structure and wholesale modified everything. If the former, I don't want to backup the files (yes, I have run BitDefender of the profile structure: all 125K files and it comes up clean). If the latter, and everything is operating as normal/expected, then I do. I have seen no issues with the operation of Thunderbird (which I love, BTW).
So, did Thunderbird change 1000's files that were otherwise not accessed by me? (see example in attachment)
I am currently running the Version 115.5.2 (64-bit) / December 11, 2023. I presume this event followed shortly after the installation of "Version 115.5.1, first offered to channel users on November 27, 2023."
