Hi All,

1. Attached is a screenshot of the Folder Properties tab. Can someone explain what does Flags option do? What is the purpose? 2. In the attached when I check/uncheck the Inbox in the Folder Properties, the icon shape of the Inbox folder (under Archives) changes to a different shape similar to Archive (EP) or Archive (Live).

Any advice what is going on here? Thanks.

You appear to have the Folder Flags add-on, which is used to set or reset the special status of certain folders.

Apart from the issues described in that site, you might find after deleting or importing folders that you have lost something vital such as a Junk folder. This add-on lets you designate which folder is to be used as a replacement Junk folder.

If you have no use for it, uninstall the add-on.
