When starting up and the email boxes are downloading a message about this folder or that folder being busy is displayed. I assume Thunderbird is running the message filters and having issues. Then after many clicks to continue, looking at the inbox many to all the message filters have not run. Running the filters manually moves the messages as expected. When running message filters manually it would be nice to have a positive sign that the filter is running and that the run is finished. Also it would be handy to the have a "Run all" button.

I loaded 102.1 and downloading email still stopped on a few folders which I made a list of. I had done a Properties Repair Folder on these folders before and they were still complained about. In the past some Repair processes for other software were not 100% so I made a plan. After the download I went to each folder on the list, made a new folder with a similar name, moved the contents of the original folder to the new folder, deleted the original folder, and renamed the new folder to the original name. A couple of the new folders could not be renamed so I went through the process a second time. Since then I've only downloaded email a couple of times but so far no complains about folders.

Does the exact message include "being processed" ?

I closed Thunderbird (which usually stays open all day) waited 20 minutes and started Thunderbird again and got the attached error message. When I examine the folder being complained about I can find no issues. Mornings when I start up I can get the error message for each email being downloaded.

I believe I have seen the "Being processed" message other times, not positive, should have taken screen shot.
