Setting Archive Folder makes folders go missing
Fresh install of Kubuntu 18.04 64 bit --- Installed today Thunderbird 52.8.0 ( 64 bit )
When I was in windows I had thunderbird set up with these specific commands
EDIT> ACCOUNT SETTINGS > COPIES AND FOLDERS
CHECKBOX KEEP MESSAGE ARCHIVES
ARCHIVE FOLDER OPTIONS > KEEP IN SINGLE FOLDER
HIT OKAY
LOCATION OTHER > LOCAL FOLDERS > ARCHIVES > ARCHIVES 2018 > IN 2018
Every time I set that option.. All the folders under ARCHIVE vanish.... But if I create a new folder called CM'S ARCHIVES and move all of those folders from ARCHIVE into that new folder the sub folder's do not disappear.
The ONLY way that they'll disappear is if I try to set CM's ARCHIVES as the default location for archiving. When you close and re open thunderbird.. The folders are missing again.
I NEVER had this option happen before in windows... Why is it doing it now in Kubuntu?
I have deleted the .msf files and everything and the folders still do not show back up until I go back to an old backup and restore all of my " Archived hierarchy " of emails dating back to 2014.
I have even created a whole new profile..... Same thing.
Hope do I fix this?
Thanks, Chris

It's just weird this option worked fine in windows but not in Linux.

UPDATE:
I just switched all of my accounts back to being separate instead of all of the accounts using " LOCAL FOLDERS".
I then set my default archive folder under CM'S ARCHIVES ( since i'm not using the built in archive's folder until I know my emails wont go poof anymore)
by going to......
EDIT> ACCOUNT SETTINGS > COPIES AND FOLDERS
CHECKBOX KEEP MESSAGE ARCHIVES
ARCHIVE FOLDER OPTIONS > KEEP IN SINGLE FOLDER
HIT OKAY
i used the Other location's option
LOCAL FOLDERS > CM'S ARCHIVES > ARCHIVES 2018 > IN 2018
HIT OKAY
FILE
EXIT THUNDERBIRD
RE LAUNCHED TBIRD
And so far nothing has dissapeared
I don't understand why the folders are no longer dissapearing like they did when I had all of my accounts under LOCAL FOLDERS?
Thanks, Chris
由 CWM030 於 修改
Hi there,
I tried to help CWM030 resolving this issue on another platform and while not resolving this issue, we've isolated the problem to the profile data.
- Blank test user > Works fine. - Blank new profile in own user > Works fine.
The profile data comes from a backup archive, so I suspected a permissions issue. For that reason I recommended to ensure full ownership and somewhat more lenient permissions:
sudo chown $USER -R ~/.thunderbird && sudo chmod 755 -R ~/.thunderbird
This didn't resolve the issue. But it might help pinpoint the problem for others.
