It is possible to create search folders by clicking the "Save as Search Folder" after doing a search. But after a few weeks, suddenly it will transform into a standard folder and folder will be empty. How do I stop it doing that? I have to then delete the folder and re-make it. So this makes search-folders unusable in the long term.

Mac OSX 10.11 Thunderbird 38.4.0 (but it has been happening for more than a year on various Thunderbird versions.)

It's a shame that Thunderbird development was stopped. I understand Mozilla had to prioritise firefox, but the world grew slightly darker when development on the only private (non-cloud) non-lock-in mail client stopped.

> It's a shame that Thunderbird development was stopped. It has not stopped. But it is being done by volunteers, not Mozilla. But this has nothing to do with the lack of response here - the people who do support tend not to be developers.

It would be most helpful to know in which version the problem *first* starts appearing. You can find versions to download at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/
