Expands all folders on startup

Hello, A few weeks ago the "sort folders" add-on stopped working. What seems to be around the same time, upon startup Thunderbird expands all the folders. I have disabled all the add ons - Manually sort and ExQuilla for Exchange are the only ones I use. ExQuilla is still running.

I have closed the folders, then Thunderbird, then gone into the profile folder and deleted the Pancea.dat folder (there was just the one). Upon startup again - all the folders are expanded.

I've read though the MozillaZine forum and didn't find any help there. (http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=520331).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your help. Yes, it did fix this after opening and closing TB a few times. Now, all the accounts and inboxes are showing, which is way better then every folder including the archives.

Thank you again!

Try this: close TB, delete session.json and folderTree.json from the profile folder, then restart TB a few times to see if the collapse state is retained.
