Hello, Good morning, As I say in the question header, I'd like to report three bugs and/or improvements I'd like to see take care off. 1° I mentioned this earlyier: when starting Thunderbird new emails are not downloaded automatically in my POP3 account; they are indeed imported automatically in my IMAP accounts. As a result of that, I need to toggle 'import all emails' in Thunderbird to get my emails from my POP3 account imported. 2° I use the email filtering feature in Thundebird for my incoming emails. Some of my new emails in my IMAP account, I transfer them with the filter to a email folder in my POP3 account. The problem is that those transferred emails to a folder in my POP3 account, aren't highlighted in blue anymore then. That is a problem, because I don't 'see' then anymore that there is a new email in it. I hope you understand the problem. 3° This is an improvement I'd like to ask: when starting Thunderbird and selecting a email folder, I'd like to see the FIRST email of that folder automatically to be selected; even more, I'd like to see Thunderbird automatically selecting the LAST email selected in any (all) folder(s), when restarting Thunderbird. Thus as you can say, the 'old' set-up related to situation of selected emails, is restored. I hope again that you understand what I mean. So, this were my three suggestions I'd like to see addressed or implemented. Excuse me for my English, when it is not quite 100 % accurate, that is because English is not my native language. Thanks in advance for answerring me on these topics, and hopefully I see these things/issues addressed or solved or implemented in a new update of Thunderbird. Kind regards, Geert Tilmans

1. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1584861 2. That is because it is no longer "new" mail. Your filter has handled the new status, not it is just unread (bold black) 3. Not sure here, does it select the right folder?
