The fourth time it worked perfectly again and the password settings were there too. The third time it did work, but all the password settings were missing.
Interesting enough: I also took over Thunderbird between devices and software systems a few times. Even more so, if you are not used to it and have been using the folder pane switcher for years. But the drop-down menu actually needs a bit of fumbling and therefore is noticeably more tedious for frequent switching. So, I prefer to switch, when I have to move messages. I usually use the compact view for unread messages, but the folders are in the view for all folders of course. This is really tedious, because I use that one almost every single time I use Thunderbird. I can reinstall it and it appears for the session. Now, with the most recent upgrade, the folder pane switcher went missing. Then a machine that I maintain lost language settings and dictionary with upgrades. This is on purpose to avoid distractions and only fetch emails when I'm ready to check them. Then I noticed, that messages are being automatically fetched, even though all inboxes are set NOT to automatically fetch emails after initially at start, so I have to fetch them manually. Would have been better to work on actual problems, instead of useless visual changes. But not important and not that appealing either. Then I noticed, that some minor visual aspects have changed. I have to close and restart the app to make sure, all messages are being fetched. Then I noticed, that Thunderbird doesn't actually fetch all emails/inboxes anymore. After using that one for years, that's an actual problem. First, the lightning plugin fell behind of development and didn't work with actually a few of the newest versions. To the point where it's getting increasingly harder to use Thunderbird. But meanwhile the problems grow and grow with each upgrade. I've also been recommending Thunderbird to others for years. I've been using Thunderbird for many years on many devices.
Less and less useable and more and more unreliable with one upgrade after the other
