I must click on a folder, hit properties and repair folder every time I use Thunderbird; what is the solution to this problem
Each folder comes up with diagonal pink stripes, and I must click on each folder each time Thunderbird is brought up, go to properties and repair the folder to see posts, or folder contents. Very annoying.
Chosen solution
Check your QuickFilter Bar. I suspect it's set to show only some category of messages and the pink stripes are there to point out that there are no messages matching the current QuickFilter Bar settings.

That was the problem! I must have inadvertently clicked on the quick filter at some point. Thank you very much for the simple solution.
