How to correct duplicate "Outbox" vs "Unsent messages"
Having updated to 140.2.1 there are two Outboxes in my local data. They are both named Outbox but one refers to a location of "Outbox" and the other to a location of "Unsent messages". The former is the location where messages to be sent should go, the latter is the location used in previous versions of Thunderbird. Unfortunately Thunderbird is putting messages in the latter. Not only does this mean that my Thunderbird does not match the documentation but also the Send Later addon uses the former and is therefore not working. This seems to be an error in the update process. How can I get Thunderbird to use the correct location ("Outbox")? I can find nothing in prefs.js that relates to the location of the Outbox ... surely it can't be hard coded!

Are you using the en-US English language download, as indicated at Internationalization & Localization of Help > Troubleshooting Information?
No, I believe I am using en-GB viz
Internationalisation & Localisation Application Settings Requested Locales ["en-GB"] Available Locales ["en-US","en-GB"] App Locales ["en-GB","en-US"] Regional Preferences ["en-GB"] Default Locale "en-GB"
I have managed to fix this by using the FolderFlags addon to remove the Outbox flag on the rogue Outbox (the one that does NOT have a location of Unsent Messages) and then deleting it.
