Folder flags
Every now and then a folder flag will change to the drafts flag/icon, it seems to be a random occurrence which can happen to any sub-folder. Up until the most recent Thunderbird upgrade I had a working extension called FolderFlags which allowed me to go into the Folder properties and change it back but that extension no longer works with the latest version of Thunderbird and there is no alternative extension. How do I change the flag back to it showing as an ordinary sub-folder in my Inbox instead of Drafts? As an interim measure I've created a new sub-folder and copied the emails from the old into the new but that's not ideal at all. I hope somebody will create an updated extension but has anyone any other suggestions please?

Is this Drafts subfolder of Inbox not shown in your Account Settings?
Yes there is a Drafts subfolder in each of my email accounts set up in Thunderbird but what is happening is randomly one of the sub-folders I have created in one Inbox is changing it's label to show the Drafts icon instead of the standard folder icon. I used to just use the FolderFlags add-on to change it back but now that option isn't an option in the Folder Properties...
It's not the Drafts folder that's the problem. One of the sub-folders I created under my Inbox has mysteriously had it's flag changed to Drafts. This happens randomly and occasionally with different Inbox sub-folders and I relied on the add-on to change the flag back ....
