Migrated to a new laptop. Fedora 37 Thunderbird 102.8.0 (via Flatpak)

Was able to migrate Thunderbird profile without issue. However, I can not see any of my email folders or the contents of my inbox (All Folders). Under Account Settings/Server Settings/Message Storage/Local Directory is a path to my email folders. Thunderbird see this, but ignores the contents. Instead it created a new inbox, INBOX-1.msf And then every time it starts it creates a new iteration, INBOX-2.msf, etc.

Removing all *.msf files did not change a thing. Still an empty inbox and no other folders shown. And the iterations of INBOX-N.msf continue.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

I took the advice of @Toad-Hall and uninstalled the flatpak version of thunderbird, then installed the version available as an rpm via dnf/yum and that worked. Life is good.
