Thunderbird reloading one account on startup and account's folder missing from ImapMail

Thunderbird Spady a pomały wukon

I recently moved from macos to linux and noticed that Thunderbird always reloads one account on startup -- by that I mean that, when I open TB, three out of four accounts display immediately, but the fourth one takes a moment, and then all its folders start appearing in the left-hand-side column. I had a look around and saw something about the .msf file being broken, with a solution being to delete it and let it be rebuilt. I headed to my profile folder but I now see that, in the ImapMail folder, the three accounts that appear immediately have their respective folders and .msf file, but not the account that reloads every time. I tried clicking on "repair" on the (unified) inbox, I tried checking the settings, but am not seeing anything that helps. Any ideas?

You can find an account folder location by : - Right click on the account - Click on Setting - Click on Server Settings - Scroll down to the very end and you should see : Local Directory

Thanks for the message. Indeed, it somehow showed the path with the previous profile name, unlike the other three Imap accounts. So I created a folder manually, clicked "Browse", it gave me an error message because it could not find the folder with the old profile name, and then it gave me the option to select a folder, at which point I chose the one I had created. Re-start and should be good. Thanks a lot!

Stajće prašenje

Dyrbiće so pola swojeho konta přizjewić, zo byšće na přinoški wotmołwił. Prošu stajće nowe prašenje, jeli hišće wužiwarske konto nimaće.
