Draft Messages saving to inbox instead of Drafts Folder with Just 1 of my 4 IMAP Accounts after most recent Thunderbird Update 52.9.1 -- Never an Issue Prior.

more options

Hello!

I have been using Thunderbird for some while.

Following the latest update to 52.9.1 when I write a Draft Message and Save it, it saves it to the Inbox (and sends me a new message alert) instead of saving it to the Drafts folder.

I have 4 email accounts setup -- all are IMAP.

3/4 are with same Host.

This only happens with ONE of them.

If I log into Webmail with that IMAP account and create a Draft...it saves it in the Drafts Folder as it should and Thunderbird also shows it in the Proper Place.

When I create a Draft in Thunderbird, while saving it, the Pop Up briefly flashes by and Thunderbird SAYS that is is saving it in the Inbox.Drafts folder, but it instead places it in the Inbox.

Weird or what?

Tools --> Account Settings --> is set to Save Drafts to Drafts Folder on Account Name

I have not made any changes to my Account Setups.

This has occurred since new update only, but only effects 1 out of 4 accounts -- the one I use al the time.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
