Thunderbird became slow and unresponsive so I used a tool to fix the problem, thunderfix. (probably It was better to remove the files manually, like in almost every case XD)

Mail boxes are smooth now, however the filter are not processed anymore. When it loads, Thunderbird advise me to fix permissions/mail folder. I tried to add "control" to my user in windows permissions (mail folder) Where is fix option in thunderbird? Eventually, I'll also have a backup profile if the operation can't be done.

Solved. (I'll close it). I encountered the problem again but I took the "magical" moz-backup to restore. Please DON'T use Thunderfix and do it on manual way: on win10, also with administrative rights, has problems with filters like said above.

After some days I've manually set authorization and control to mail folder for my user, it seems to work correctly. So you can also close this topic and mark as solved :)
