Yesterday, I clicked on my Trash Folder to search for an old email. TB froze in the Trash Folder and I cannot access any other email folders. I am not able to click on the Profile Menu to access Help. I thought shutting down my laptop would perhaps fix the problem for today. EVERYTHING is still frozen! Thank you for your help

Same thing if you restart Thunderbird?

Or in safe mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

Hi Wayne, Thanks for your prompt reply! I was somehow able to release being stuck in the TB Trash folder. I clicked on 'continue' in regard to a Script and I'm no longer stuck! Thanks for reaching out!

I have no idea how many em's are in the Trash folder. There is no visible count indicated.

two possibilities - click the folder, bottom right, in status bar shows counts for unread and total (if status bar is not shown - view > toolbars > status bar) - right+click folder with mouse, properties
