I am trying to add my email accounts to TB on ubuntu. Ive done this many times before. TB checks ports & security for my IMAP account, and I hit the done button. TB says I already have that a/c defined. But the "All Folders" panel is empty.

Also TB, when idle, displays a message about downloading mail from that account. Its as if TB has the account registered, but cant display it. So I cant add it, but I cant see it either.

Amazing. Problem solved in 2 minutes. I have spent a week reinstalling thunderbird, trying to install old versions of thunderbird, harassing google, asking anyone that would listen what to do....nothing but pain.

Create a new profile using profile manager. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/using-multiple-profiles

Start Thunderbird with the new profile using profile manager. Then try again to create the account.
