Since I changed PCs and reinstalled Thunderbird, I've had a problem that I can't solve. In my orange.fr mailbox (and only in that one), my Drafts and Sent folders are duplicated. The distribution between the folders seems random, or I didn't recognize its logic. Here's their location: DRAFT imap://g.freyburger%40wanadoo.fr@imap.orange.fr/INBOX/DRAFT imap://g.freyburger%40wanadoo.fr@imap.orange.fr/INBOX/Drafts SENT imap://g.freyburger%40wanadoo.fr@imap.orange.fr/INBOX/OUTBOX imap://g.freyburger%40wanadoo.fr@imap.orange.fr/INBOX/Sent When I consult my sent messages on my browser (Brave), it is the one corresponding to imap://.../INBOX/OUTBOX that appears and only it. Orange can't help me, telling me that the problem concerns TB. How do I merge DRAFT and Drafts, and also DRAFT and Drafts without losing my messages. Of course, I don't want to lose any messages... Thank you for your reply, Yours sincerely Geneviève

Hi I am having this same issue but the folders that are extra are not used at all. In the example below, the ones with the stars are the extra ones. I have tried to delete them but they won't delete. I am using the most updated version of Nebula 128.3.3esr Thanks for any help.
