Thunderbird 31.0 won’t open to Inbox

Topic

New Reply

For years I have set TB to open to the Inbox folder when it starts. I used the add-on Select Inbox 2.5 . After the latest ver. of TB was automatically installed a few days ago (ver. 31.0), it will no longer open to the Inbox. I found that Select Inbox 2.5 had been uninstalled so it must not be compatible with TB ver. 31.0. I have tried all other add-ons I could find to make TB open to the Inbox folder but none will work. Please tell me why TB 31.0 will no longer open to the Inbox folder and what I can do to bring this feature back. Thanks.

I just checked my copy of Thunderbird, which updated to 31.0 a few days ago. The Select Inbox ver. 2.5 add-on is still installed and is apparently functioning, as TBird opens (and has been since the update) to the Inbox automatically.

Have you tried re-installing the add-on?

I just tried uninstalling Select Inbox 2.5 and reinstalling it. Still won’t work. I wonder if one of the other add-ons or something else is interfering? Any more suggestions? Thanks.

You could try disabling your add-ons one by one, to see if one is interfering. Another thing that occasionally helps is to read any recent comments on the TBird add-ons page for each add-on, to see if someone else has reported problems. Also try http://forums.mozillazine.org/ to see if others there have run into this. Other than that, I’m stumped.

Added: Better yet, re disabling add-ons, disable all but the Inbox add-on and test that, then re-enable one at a time.

I followed your suggestion and disabled all the add-ons, one at a time. When I disabled FolderPane Tools 0.6.1 then everything started working normally, including Select Inbox 2.5 Now TB opens to the Inbox, as it should. Guess we can assume that FolderPane Tools 0.6.1 is not compatible with TB ver. 31.0 and/or Select Inbox 2.5. Anyway, problem solved. Thanks very much for your help!
