Thunderbird freezes right after startup

I am using 64bit Windows 11 Home. This happened suddenly without any changes on my part that I know of.

Thunderbird suddenly started freezeing right after startup. The only thing I can do is login with the master password then the regular thunderbird screen opens, but I cannot click on anything. Soon after the screen is greyed out. However I can close the program down with the red "x" in the top right corner. It opens a dialog that gives me the opens to close down or wait to respond. The close option works.

The only hint I can see from the frozen screen is that the local Folder seems to have a problem as a subfolder has now multiple copies of itself. It seems to create a new copy of that subfolder every time I try to start the program.

So far I tried reinstalling/updating TB, as I assumed an update had maybe malfunctioned, (it was stuck on version 128, since I could not open TB for about a week now) but upgrading to to version 138 did not help. I also tried starting TB in troubleshoot mode, which made no difference I also tried starting TB while windows was in safe mode, which made no difference.

I read around but people that have problems with TB freezing seem to not have the freeze happen before they can do anything.

I assume something is wrong in my profile, maybe the local folder? But I have no idea to fix anything, since I cannot do anything at all in TB.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Does problem change?

No, as I said I tried both those things before and neither changed anything, besides the slightly different visual in safe mode of course.

If your mail accounts are imap, perhaps try deleting Inbox and Inbox.msf in your Thunderbird profile.

No, not all my email accounts are IMAP, at least 1 is POP3. I suppose if I delete these files my emails for the POP3 will be gone?

Could I try and install a different email program and try to open my old files with a different program?
