After latest update two of my folders no longer have their right names. They where called "DJ LEO" and "Søndre Hamre" as their data files. No they are both callen "Sendt" (norwegian for "Send") and can't be renamed. Content and data files are still right. Why is this hapening. What do I do?

This is the fallout from a deliberate change in TB146.

You may want to try this. Install the FolderFlags add-on. https://addons.thunderbird.net/thunderbird/addon/folderflags/

Then check whether any of the folders renamed to "Sendt" has a 'Sent' flag. If so, remove it. Does the problem go away?

That got the name back. Why where the folder "Sent" folders in the first place? Or did that happend when I installed identities?
