Leave messages on server options checked automatically
I have been using Thunderbird with two Godaddy email accounts for few years now. I always had for both accounts the option "Leave messages on server" checked, while "For at most" and "Until I delete them" unchecked. Today I've accessed one of the accounts via the web interface and noticed that only messages from the past 14 days had been left there. I've opened the settings in Thunderbird and noticed to my amazement that only in one of the accounts "For at most" and "Until I delete them" were magically checked. I'm sure I have not changed this myself (or any other setting recently), and I'm the only user of this PC. The only thing I can think of that may have caused this is the recent automatic update of Thunderbird.

It is my opinion that settings do mysteriously change when Thunderbird updates. I don't think it's ever happened to me (but there again, I had to re-set some Saved Searches yesterday) but there is/has been much anecdotal evidence where a system that has worked previously suddenly doesn't work and is found to have illogical or inconsistent settings, such as SSL with the usual non-secured ports. Another is HTML vs plain text message composition, where users complain about the HTML formatting tools vanishing, and the message composition Toolbar hiding, leading to users complaining about the non-existent Send button, and so on, hinting at settings which have changed all by themselves.
