In the folders area I created standard subfolders. In the attached photos the icons look like a folder. I can rename or delete them as needed

Randomly certain folders change icons to "purple paper"- now I cannot change the name or delete see pic of dropdown odd and normal Clearly I must trigger this somehow- but I don't know when or how or what it means

If the question is about Thunderbird then we can move the question thread to Thunderbird Support.
