Isisombululo Esikhethiwe

If this started with version 159, does it help to set mail.server.default.use_compress_deflate to false? (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/config-editor)

Did it help?

If yes, then you are seeing Bug 2087454 - Thunderbird 159.0: IMAP folders disappear after restart despite successful LIST responses

Chris Umnikazi wombuzo

tried above. was successful with: 1. Toggle "Show Only Subscribed Folders"

A common workaround for IMAP listing bugs is to force Thunderbird to ignore local subscription states: 1. Right-click your email account and select Settings. 2. Under your account name, click on Server Settings. 3. Click the Advanced... button in the lower-right area. 4. Uncheck the box for "Show only subscribed folders". 5. Click OK, then restart Thunderbird
