Hi I have two email accounts. When I switch to unified folders view, all folders appears as expanded. If I manually collapse them all, next time I start TB, they are all expanded again, and I have to manually collapse them. I have a lot of folders, so this is quite painful. Is this a bug or a feature? I'm running TB 68.4.1 on Linux Mint Thanks a lot

Chosen solution

The folder layout should be preserved between restarts, but if not try this: Help/Troubleshooting, click Open Directory to open the profile folder, close TB. Delete or rename foldertree.json, session.json, virtualFolders.dat and the Mail/smart mailboxes subfolder. The latter two are for fixing Unified folders, and all are recreated when TB restarts.
