all sent folders renamed to sent

Since today (Version 146.0 Windows11 64bit) all subfolders, which are configured to send emails from (e.g. name+test@example.com for folder test) are renamend to the german word "Gesendet" for Sent. You can see that in the second screenshot. In the first screenshot you can see the name "Gesendet" which is locked against changes and the normal name of the folder is support in this case. I don't know, what has changed to yesterday. And as I'm using this feature intensivly, the "Gesendet" over all folders is quite annoying.

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 "Gesendet" has a 'Sent' flag. If so, remove it. Does the problem go away?

the folders were originally configured via "Addtional Identities" in the account settings.

This is the fallout from a deliberate change in TB146. Quoting the the developer who thought that would be a good idea:

"Regarding the folder names changing, that was a conscious decision and a wanted change to mitigate the problem of inconsistent naming from different servers."

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2001557 You may want to complain there.
