Disappearing Inbox folder

I was working on figuring out an imap timeout problem (previous forum question) when I accidentally deleted the Inbox folder. No problem, I thought, cuze imap protocol will recreate that folder when thunderbird restarts. Problem is, it did, but after a period of time (10-15 mins) the Inbox and Trash (which I didn't delete) disappear. Nothing I do seems to recreate them. Message Synchronizing is on and Inbox & Trash are checked. Doesn't matter if unread emails are in there. When I restart thunderbird Inbox and Trash are back but then disappear.

Details: Windows 10 Home 22H2 Thunderbird 128.3.1esr

Oh, I forgot to mention, I even tried Repair Folder but that didn't do anything. Didn't bring back the folders either - always have to restart thunderbird to get those back.

Helpful?
