Thunderbird does not save password, stuck with same start-up scenario

Hi all: Recently, every time I start TB, it starts up with the same search term entered in Quickfilter and request the password of the account. Entered the password, clicked on "Use Password manager", deleted the search term in Quickfilter and TB works normally. Close TB, restart : same search term in Quickfilter and TB asks for the password. I tried deleting key4.db and logins.json, but no success.

Funny note: the password problem appears **only** for my POP account. For the IMAP account, he asked for the password after I deleted key4.db and logins.json, but never again afterwards.

It seems that TB does not update some *.ini file or whatever governs the startup options like a current entry in the Quickfilter or which folder to display. Is there any way to delete this without using any configuration settings? Or any other solution around this?

Windows 7 Pro, TB 60.6.1 (32 bit)

SOLVED.

Deleting session.json in the profile folder took care of the problem.
