Hello

I use thunderbird with my T-mobile account and every time i klick on the folders i get a spinner i use imap and all the settings are correct when i press on a folder i also get login account failed not every time but i see that thunderbird connects slow to the t-mobile server.

I reported this problem on the t-mobile forum and they told me that the problem isnt comming from their Email server.

With Thunderbird 78.0 still the same problem.

Still a spinner on the folders when i click on them.

Just the standard install with no addons still this problem.

Also in save mode.

On my other pc the problem is the same.

When i click on the folders i see a short spinner but when i click on the folder undesirable (Spam) the spinner stays spinning.

The problem with getting the message in the above screenshot did not appear anymore with version 78.0.

I started Thunderbird i clicked from folder to folder and on the folder to send i now get a spinner that doesnt stop. This problem is random.

Edit:

Spinner is still spinning on the folder To Send this folder is empty.
