Email Date field says 12/31/1969, unable to keep column changes in message list pane.
On a Mac OS device using Thunderbird 91.7.0, all the dates in the date field show the date 12/31/1969 7:00pm. if I move the emails to a different account the date is corrected. I have moved the emails to a new folder, compacted the folder and moved them back and it is the same issue. The received date for the emails is correct but if I display the received date in the columns of the message pane, after moving to a different folder, like the drafts it then resets the view.
Removed the email account fully from thunderbird, restarted the app and setup the account again. Removed the account again, closed thunderbird, renamed the profile folder and MSF file for the account then setup the email again. Applied the view from a different set of folders that is not having the issue did not resolve the columns resetting or the date issue.
I have reinstalled thunderbird, updated to the 95.0b version to ensure the version was not the problem.
Any ideas on what might be a fix? Currently I have to make a change to the column selection to show received instead of Date anytime I look at a different folder in the email account as a work around.

renamed the profile folder
Are you saying you started from scratch with a new profile?

This is a beta version. The latest release version is 91.7.0. Unless you want to do beta testing, you should stick with the release version. Downgrading a profile is tricky, so make sure you do have a full backup of your Thunderbird profile. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_backing-up-a-profile
