Server-side mail folders problem with Thunderbird
Hello list, Last week, I switched to using OAuth2 (aka "Modern Authentication") from Thunderbird to access my company's Office365 mailbox over IMAP. Everything went swell for 2 days. Over the week-end, I applied the (Leap 15.3) online update for Thunderbird (to v102.4.0), and this morning all my server-side folders were gone. The Inbox itself could still be accessed, and the local folders have no issue. I then reverted to the earlier version of TB (v102.2.2), and after some fiddling, I could get some of the server-side folders to reappear and to resynch, but: - even though the messages are listed in those folders, the message contents won't display if I select one of them (status says "loading") forever - sent messages aren't copied to the "sent items" folder -- there as well, it waits forever Has anyone else here been confronted with a similar behaviour?

A recent update to Thunderbird, the one before that, 102 series, was problematic and non reversible. I had to wait for TH to process it all, then I restarted it, and only then things were fine. Yes, some folders were gone initially, came back on the second restart.

Thanks a lot for your reply, Carlos. In my case, the update to TB 102 occurred long before the move to OAuth2, and v102 didn't raise any specific issue in itself. As to my current problem, I restarted TB numerous times, played with the folder subscription dialog, but with no consistent result. Ph.
