Thunderbird 147.0.1 (aarch64, macos, m2)
Team, After spending many many hours creating 14 search-folders that can find all of the right emails in approx. 20 "real" (local) folders.
Then I renamed 10 local folders and noticed my searchfolders disappearing!?
Big panic. Now, only the last 2 created searchfolders where there. The rest was gone. Realizing that the searchfolder config is in a file called "VirtualFolders.dat" I instantly took a copy. Restart Thunderbird: Now only 1 searchfolder was left. The copied virtualfolders.dat file still had 2 searchfolders in it but the rest is gone. There is no other copy/backup of this file.
These search folders are the only thing that generated some sense in gigantic piles of email.
Does renaming local folders KILL Virtual/Search folders?
