Thunderbird problem

[figmo]

On my Windoze box (XP Professional), Thunderbird suddenly lost all my folders in my IMAP mailbox. I've tried tweaking the profiles, editing the profiles, deleting the .msf files from the profiles, and deleting and re-creating the mailbox -- to no avail.

How can I get Thunderbird to access all my folders again? They're still on the server (it's a Linux-based IMAP server and I've got shell access).

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Update:

When I go to "subscribe" to the folders under my IMAP folder, they don't exist, even when I click "refresh".

I have tried removing and recreating my mailbox to no avail; it still comes up as if the folders don't exist when I try to "subscribe" to them.

If you can get it to start, then (in theory) you can now right click on an account, select Subscribe... and then hit Refresh to make it rebuild the list. I've had it take a couple times to do so. Can you tell if it is successfully connecting to the imap server from the bottom-of-window messages?

I can't tell. It's reading the mailbox, and it's finally acknowledging the Trash bin.

It seems to be connecting to the IMAP server enough to get the messages on it. I just can't PUT them anywhere.

I seem to have tickled a Thunderbird bug, but none of the "solutions" I've found for it online have helped.
