Draft email shows on all incoming messages. Draft & Inbox mirrored
Using140.3.1 I have only one email address/account & it has worked happily with TB for several years, but recently all my incoming emails are marked as "this is a draft".
I cannot identify what has been changed, that could cause this, nor can I find a solution on line. Some similar problems have been indicated, but without resolution
I have noticed that when in "All folder" view there is no draft folder showing in the folder pane, but when in "Unified folder" view there is a drafts folder shown In this UF view, the received messages in the "inbox" are displayed and the same contents also appear in the drafts folder. ( But duplicated; Both folders show the same message count number although the actual number in the drafts is double that in the inbox).
Any suggestions would be welcomed, & thanks for reading.

Many thanks---that's sorted it!
I did install the add on, changed the " mail.showCondensedAddresses" to false, and finally changed the flags that could now be seen when looking at the properties of the inbox.
I hate changing anytrhing, without understanding "why." If you have time, could you explain what the "mail.showCondensedAddresses" controls and how could I have recognised the problem,(without your help)when the addition of the draft flag to the inbox was not done knowingly. .

The mail.showCondensedAddresses issue is caused by factors unknown to me, and is totally separate from the issue of folder flags. It simply affects how you are displayed in the message list, i.e. 'Me' or your actual name.
I don't know 'why', just 'how to fix'.
OK. Thanks very much for your helpful signposting. Hopefully "search" and Google will better pick up this problem for future sufferrers.
