Hi, In my profile I have several IMAP-accounts, one of them is greyed out / italic. The account itself is working (inbox, sending, folders) everything ok.

Just the account-name is greyed out and therefor not available for applying view changes.

I have other IMAP-accounts on the same server, no problem.

What can I do to get rid of that ?

I did some some additional tests.

In the profile I have an IMAP "AccountName" with a local directory "E:\AppData\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\ProfileName\ImapMail\LocalDirName"

The "AccountName" is greyed out / italic in TB

Under Windows I made an exact copy of "E:\AppData\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\ProfileName\ImapMail\LocalDirName" to "E:\AppData\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\ProfileName\ImapMail\LocalDirName2"

When I switch in TB the local directory to "E:\AppData\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\ProfileName\ImapMail\LocalDirName2" it is no longer greyed out / italic Switching back to "E:\AppData\Mozilla\Thunderbird\Profiles\ProfileName\ImapMail\LocalDirName" and it's greyed out again"

After exiting TB, in Windows I renamed the two  : LocalDirName->LocalDirName2 LocalDirName2->LocalDirName and started TB again.

And for "LocalDirName" it's greyed out again, for "LocalDirName2" not, meaning : it has nothing to do with the contents of the LocalDirName-directories

I'm using TB102 but that's irrelevant, in TB60 it's exactly the same.

What's going on here ? What 's triggering TB to grey-out when the "LocalDirName" directory is used.

This is driving me crazy as I want to understand what's happening.
