Thunderbird: Some folder names are in faint italics
I am in the process of moving my saved emails from Thunderbird local folders to my email service provider, Runbox.com. I'm using the right-click context menu "Move to" item, moving a few folders at a time.
It's not going well. When I view the list of folders at Runbox using Thunderbird, it's far from what I see when I use RunBox's web interface (V6). Some folders are visible one way and not the other, the hierarchy of folders is different, and so on. It's bad enough now that I'm going to halt this project, until I can clean things up and be certain that I'm not going to lose any emails.
So. When using Thunderbird to look at the list of folders at Runbox, many of the folder names appear in a faint italic font. I'd like to know what this means - I wasn't able to find out anything online about this. Clicking on one of the faint italic folder names does list the expected emails, and I can open them.
Once I understand this, I might be able to improve my understanding of the situation to the point where I can explain things to tech support at Runbox.
Thanks for any assistance :)
