I've installed the new Quickfolders on Thunderbird 3.1.11 running on 64-bit
Linux Mint 11. Not only did it wipe the existing folders that I had set up, but
although I can drag folders to the Quickfolders bar when Thunderbird is
running, they are all forgotten and the bar is emptied every time I shut the
program down and restart it.

Hope you can help.

Jon.

Same problem on TB 3.1.10, openSUSE 11.2, i686. The QF Toolbar also returns
after removing it and restarting TB. Seems that the entire config goes poof
whenever 2.9 starts. (Sidenote: "Read Version History" link in the options'
"Support" tab doesn't work, either. It's the only one including a leading
"http://" ... ?)

Probably a dup of bug 24451, though.

(Why isn't 2.9 listed in the version history, anyway ... !?)

I can confirm this behavior: just updated from Quickfolders 2.8 to 2.9 on TB
3.1.15 running on a XP 32-bit machine and my previous settings are gone. Also
dragging new folders to the bar and restarting TB result again in an empty bar
:-(

URGENT INFORMATION FOR AFFECTED USERS:

Do *NOT* try to manually rebuild your folders when you "lost" them. The
QuickFolders.folders configuration, which contains your folder settings,
apparently *DOES* survive upgrade+restart, but is rewritten as soon as you
modify the "empty" folder pane.

(Too late for me, alas. :-/ )

Boldprint in the extended config claims that there are *more* nondefault
configs (assumedly survivors of the wipe). Will attach screenshots.
