Running Thunderbird 52.8.0 (64-bit) on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3. If I drag and drop a message from my inbox to a subject folder the message disappears. If I use search I can find the message and by selective filtering using directories I can confirm that it is found where I put it but it does not show in the required directory when I select that directory. I have tried restarting in safe mode but to no avail. Any suggestions anybody? I
