When I start Thunderbird, my Home page appears with my 3 email accounts and all of my folders. It appears for about 2 seconds, then disappears. This just happened in the past 24 hours. What is the solution?

Chosen solution

Alt+v to display the view menu. Select folder and all or Folders > unified. My guess is you have changed from one to the other. Which I am not sure, otherwise

Please provide a screenshot. If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

No...I wish that was the case! I was able to reset the Home page so my accounts and files are there. It looks different than before, but at least everything is there that I need.

Thanks for your assist!

I went back into folders and then hit "unified" and my home page returned. Not sure what changed, but it's fixed now! THX.
