Strange message at the bottom of an opened email
Why do I get this alert message across the bottom of my screen when I double-click to open an email in my INbox? It is in a yellow box across the bottom of a pre-populated draft 'return to the sender" email.
A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity Robert Hill <arnilmmproductions@gmail.com>"
It doesn't mark the original email as 'Read' when I close it. But if I right click on it, it gives me the option of opening it a new Tab, a new Window, or a Conversation.
The problem seems to recur after a Thunderbird upgrade.
Hoping to get your response and a solution soon. Thank you.

Thank you again for your feedback and advice. I'm not sure that it helped because in the interim I've downloaded a Thunderbird Update and the problem seems to have resolved itself. It's not the first time that it's happened and like this time it has resolved itself subsequent to an update. I will continue to monitor the issue.

It looks like your Inbox is acting like a Drafts folder. See if you can fix it with FolderFlags:
Thank you for your suggested solution. However, it didn't work because there was no FolderFlags: option in the Folder Properties dialog box. See the attached.
Did you install the add-on? See the attached picture of a gmail Inbox's Properties.

As at December 8 2024 i also have this problem.
problem present in Thunderbird beta 1.34.0b3 ....and also in Thunderbird 128.5.1esr+linuxmint1+xia
It happens in one folder only.....not in Inbox. I have repaired that folde via "repair" in properies......gmail has redownloaded all 240 messages...all to no avail. problem persists
FolderFlags cannot be used in the beta...not compatible (The beta is on my main pc)
