Hello everyone,
I am experiencing an intermittent and highly frustrating issue with a Gmail account configured via IMAP in Thunderbird. The glitch occurs completely at random: when I open the application, sometimes certain folders (especially Sent and Drafts) appear completely empty or disappear altogether, while other times they load perfectly fine without any configuration changes in between.
Environment details: Protocol: IMAP (the POP protocol is completely disabled on the account side). Language: Both the Thunderbird interface and the Gmail web account are strictly configured and used in Spanish.
It seems likely that this issue is related to an integrity flaw in the localization or mapping of Gmail's internal system labels (\Sent, \Drafts) to Thunderbird's local folders in Spanish. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue, as other folders sync properly; rather, it feels like Thunderbird intermittently loses track of the folder index or mapping.
I have already tried repairing the folders (.msf files), checking IMAP subscriptions, and manually forcing the path under "Copies & Folders", but this unstable behavior always returns after a few days.
Is anyone else experiencing this localization/mapping bug with Google labels in Spanish? Is there a known open bug or a definitive permanent fix so Thunderbird stops losing the translation map for these folders?
Thank you very much for your help.
