hello to the forum... In the column immediately to the left of the email subject, this strange orange icon appeared... in that column the icons of the new message, the reply, the forward and the reply+forward usually appear, but I had never seen this double orange arrow... I neither replied nor forwarded the message, I have no strange filters, I have TB 115.6.0 (64 bit) on windows 10... does anyone know what this is about?

Chosen solution

The arrows indicate the message has been replied to (left-pointing arrow) and forwarded (right-pointing arrow). With some mail servers, the arrows don't appear even when either action has been performed, so it's possible the opposite is true. Try Repair Folder from the folder context menu, Properties, and see if the arrows remain.

I've never seen or heard of that. Do they still appear in Troubleshoot mode?

yes, it shows that orange icon even in troubleshooting mode, but moved next to the date, as the layout of the panels is completely different from the one I usually use... at this point, since no one knows anything about it, I'm starting to think that they managed to "hack" or "crack" TB by inserting icons contained in the email into columns strictly reserved for the management of the TB itself...

I'm a little ashamed, but I hadn't tried to repair the inbox... Now I repaired it and the arrow is gone... who knows where TB got that orange arrow, perhaps from some theme among those it has available... Thank you.
