E-Mail grouped view no longer available
- Thunderbird 128.4.3esr (64-Bit) - WIndows 10
---
I have been using Thunderbird for years, and it's usually worked great. Please read through what I have done so far:
---
When I opened Thunderbird today, I was greeted by an empty screen, no E-Mails.
When I receive Mails, I still get notifications and when I click them, a new fullscreen tab with the E-Mail is displayed and when I close it, I'm back to the empty screen.
I have restarted my computer since. I was able to access my E-Mails via other clients, so I could do my work, but it's still really disrupting right now.
Attached you find multiple images, one of the empty screen, one of the other tabs working (contacts) and one of my accounts being properly setup.

Now, when I used the troubleshooting mode to reset my toolbars, it suddenly started working again. However, a new problem: Now the grouped view no longer works, and this time I was unable to restore the functionality.
When I try to enable it, nothing happens and when I open that menu again, the checkbox is gone.
This is the dev console output when I try to enable it:
``` Error intiating smart mode. : Component returned failure code: 0x80550005 [nsIMsgFolder.msgDatabase]

```
Troubleshooting mode does not help here.

I would really like to see this fixed, as I use Thunderbird mainly via the grouped inbox. Thank you for any help on this.

Wow thank you guys really helpful, such a nice and welcoming community. If this amount of detail is not enough for someone to at least comment on my post, then I don't know what else I should have done to get your attention.
Even a reinstall does not fix the issue by the way.

Do you mean this? https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/182dg5p/comment/kai08om/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Isn't this exactly what I posted above in the screenshot and what I'm trying to do all the time all ready?
I attached an image once again. I can click the option, yes, but nothing happens when I do and when I open the menu again, the checkbox is gone. The error message in the dev console is still the same as it was before, so no, that does still not work. I really think this is an error on Thunderbird's side, which is not properly comunicated to the user, I suppose the devs did not account for this operation failing ever, but apparently it does.
Again: I have already reinstalled Thunderbird and the error persists.
