My thunderbird seems to only index my sent folders since a while
I am using Thunderbird 128.7.1 on Windows, have several mailboxes (POP and Imap) with many sub-folders and large email archives (~20 years of emails) under "Local Folders". Indexing used to work fine over all those folders and I liked it a lot, in particular the timeline view on global searches.
Now, since a while (not sure for how long) indexing only looks into all my "Sent" folders, and not any of the incoming folders or local folders. I see that in all the global searches I try now. Note, whenever I archive a large amount of emails, I delete global-messages-db.sqlite and re-start TB to make sure the index gets re-built to match the real folder content. Previously global-messages-db.sqlite had a few GB in size, not it does not get larger than ~100MB.
How can I tell TB to index all folders as it used to do?

short addition: I tried deleting global-message-db again, and followed the indexing in the Activity Manager. There I see that indexing of one Sent folder seems to got stuck. At least it does not change the counter (232) over hours. (see picture) That would explain why only (parts of the) Sent folders are indexed. Any idea how to solve this?
