This relates to question #1438542 Purple Folders https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1438542 which has been archived. The OP had folders whose icons had changed color to purple - the same as Drafts. The solution was to download the add-on folderflags, drag the .xpi file onto the add-ons manager, confirm the install, then on each folder, right-click and select Properties, then use the new Flags tab to switch off the Draft flag.
There are two things that I'd like to add to that solution:
- After changing the flags, I had to restart TB for the folder icon colors to go back to their normal yellow. Note that one of my affected folders had also moved immediately after Local Folders / Drafts folder. After switching off the flag and restarting TB, that folder also went back to its normal alphabetical order position.
- The OP didn't know what was causing the folders to be marked as Draft. I can reproduce the problem by these steps:
- Start a new message, type some text.
- In the menu bar, select Options > Send a copy to > select a folder
- Save the message - this immediately adds the Draft flag in the selected folder.
Many thanks to Thomas for asking the original question, and contributor Matt who provided the solution.
