Unified folders disappear from favorite folders after restarting. Is this a bug?
Hiya,
I just started setting up Thunderbird and I have come across a bug. At least, I think it's a bug.
The situation: I'm viewing favorite folders and unified folders. What I want, is to show some unified folders in my favorite folders. That is, my unified inbox, drafts, and sents. So, I right click on them, I select "✅ Favorite folder" and they appear among my favorite folders. All good, right? However... When I restart Thunderbird, the unified inboxes have disappeared from my favorite folders. And when I right click them, it still says they are marked as "✅ Favorite folder" And the way to make them reappear is by deselecting and reselecting them as favorite folders. See the picture.
So, what is happening? Is this a bug? My guess is that it is. Could anyone help me to circumvent this?

I found a work around, for anyone interested.
In the menu, under File > New > Saved Search, you can create a new Saved Search, which acts pretty much as a virtual inbox. I selected all my inboxes, put it under Local Folders, and then I can favorite it and it works just like what I had in mind.
Thunderbird really has a lot of functionality 😄

The bug, in my opinion, is showing them at all in favorites. I say this because unified folder aren't folders but a virtual collection of folders. My suggestion is to include both favorite folders and unified folders for the same result.

Thanks for the reply. I was worried someone might say this.
When I use the unified folders tab as a whole though it also includes many other unified folders I do not need to see.
Is there a way to hide them?
After a lot of puzzling, I found a way to display only show the unified folders I want to see, by adding this code to userChrome.css:
/* Selects all of the top-level tabs of the unified folders inbox and hides them */
.sidebar-panel-scroll .unselectable:nth-child(1) > ul > li {
display: none;
}
/* Selects the specific folders to display */
.sidebar-panel-scroll .unselectable:nth-child(1) li[title^="Inbox"],
.sidebar-panel-scroll .unselectable:nth-child(1) li[title^="Drafts"],
.sidebar-panel-scroll .unselectable:nth-child(1) li[title^="Sent"]
{
display: list-item;
}
But it's a rather complex workaround 😅 I think it'd be nicer to have the option to add unified inboxes to favorites (and to keep them there!). Cause if they're not supposed to be there, it's a bug that they do appear there.
Looks like this:
