I have folders under Inbox and again additional subfolders off folders. They all disappeared. I can browse out to the folder and see them and the 26 or so .msf files but I can't get them to link to Thunderbird.

I am running windows 7 and TB 24.6 using IMAP

I have completely removed TB and reinstalled it, renamed and recreated a windows profile and with the same results.

Another person has access to the e-mail account but they save their IMAP e-mails to a different directory location and they can see all the e-mails and subfolders.
