New Message Button Does Not Work On TB v.140.0.1esr Local Folders
[I am starting a new post because I was replying to someone else's post and it stopped working.]
After updating to TB v.140.0esr (then just now updating to v.140.0.1esr) from v.128esr, I cannot compose a new message in any Local Folders or my main virtual inbox. The +New Message button is there, but clicking it does nothing. It was working for over a decade before this.
However, going into the normal account folder inboxes DOES allow me to click the "+New Message" button and start/compose a new message.
I can still reply to messages in the local and virtual folders, just not start a new message.
I have tried disabling all security software. No luck.
I have ran Help > Troubleshoot mode with no addons. No luck.
When I create a new folder under Local Folders, clicking New Message still does nothing while in that new folder. But if I move that new folder to an existing email account, then go to the new folder, clicking New Message works correctly.
I am on Windows 10. I did use the addon Manually Sort Folders in the past, but not recently.
I ran the Check Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) on TB v.140.0esr. Here is the paste:

Solution:
You have to set an account as the "default" account.
Go to Account Settings, then pick which one should be your main account. On the top of it's page choose:
Set as Default
Now my +New Message button works again!
Hopefully TB gets updated so users get alerted when that is the problem. I have used this email client for a long time and did not expect this behavior.
Thanks to everyone everywhere who worked on this!
