No Folders in Filters possible

Dear filter specialists,

On a Windows 10 computer with TB Portable 128.6 and .7, folders can no longer be selected in the filters as ‘Run filter on’ or ‘perform these Actions’: the menu is greyed out. The phenomenon occurs with all accounts: POP and local. Various email providers, ESET virus scanner, Windows firewall, FritzBox cable router. The local account contains almost 30 GB of emails. The existing filters work as long as they do not affect the accounts or folders: for example, tagging e-mails works. Existing filters with folder-actions cannot be re-configured and no folder actions are possible when creating a new filter.

I have performed an update check and restarted Windows, changed the compression limit from 500 to 5 MB and changed a few minor settings so that the config is rewritten.

What could this be? How do I solve the problem? A workaround if necessary.

Thank you very much for your help.

I were not sure, where this could belong, therefore I chose "Settings".

I recently switched from K9 Mail to Thunderbird Mobile and were very happy to see, that there has been a migration option to transfer all the account settings from desktop to mobile version.

Well, not all accounts and not all settings were transferred and only the first QR code has been recognized whereas the other three were unrecognizable - but still a good move!

That brought me to the idea: Wouldn't it be nice, if there were some Thunderbird Sync, where all accounts, the server settings, the identities (!!), the signatures (!) and other settings (fonts, quoting etc) would be the same on all devices?

And where would be the place to promote such an idea?

I have followed the advice in the article https://mzl.la/3C1WG1b, but it leaves me up in the air with no end result. Once I have pressed RESET I am left with the BOX which states Your Primary Password has been reset. But nowhere in the process have I been asked to create a new password, and no indication of what password has been rest.

I discovered that a regular email newsletter I used to receive had stopped some time ago and it took ma ages to discover that probably it is classified as junk. I do not have the original to undo the junk setting with. I do not receive any messages from that source and I'm struggling to get junk filter to unlearn that wrong classification. How can I do this?

Read Aloud is not producing sound in Thunderbird 128.7.1esr (64-bit), Windows 11 Pro. The app does highlight the text it is reading and progresses through the email, but there is no sound. I have checked various voices and tried to sound test the Piper voices. No luck. Windows Narrator (not ideal) will read the emails. I have checked every sound setting I can think of several times. I contacted Read Aloud support and they were unable to resolve my issue; they did confirm it worked in their Thunderbird app.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
