Wrong Folder Icon

I'm running Thunderbird 140.3.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11. Possibly because I was changing some settings, possibly because of a Thunderbird update, there are a couple of wonky things going on in my Folder Pane and elsewhere. Among them is the fact that one of my "Archives" folders now has a "Sent" icon instead of an "Archives" icon (see attached). Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried the following: 1. Repairing the Thunderbird folder. 2. Restarting Thunderbird and my computer. 3. Installing the latest version of Thunderbird (without uninstalling though).

This can often be fixed with the FolderFlags add-on, but first check that sent messages aren't directed to the Archives folder in Account Settings, Copies & Folders.
