[oneiric] thunderbird forgot the folder settings on upgrade

[Paul Gevers]

I upgraded to Oneric beta yesterday. Now, if I open thunderbird the sorting of my folders is back to the default. My preference is to sort with the latest message on top and threads grouped, but all folders now have sorted latest message at the bottom and the not threaded.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Paul and anyone else affected,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Thunderbird since that time.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported? A quick test using Thunderbird 52.9.1 in Ubuntu 18.04 restored the folder settings when Thunderbird was restarted.

Please let us know if you still see an issue.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
