Installed SuSE 9.2 on a friends computer a couple months ago and all was
fine until last night. Whereas normally Thunderbird will list the
inbox, sent, trash, etc folders as well as the local folders on the left
hand side those have now disappeared. Instead she now has only the
inbox displayed on the top half and the message selected on the bottom half.

Checking the directory I see the folders exist. She has multiple message
sub-folders of the inbox containing important messages. Need help
restoring them to view. I clicked every menu item in the toolbars but
found nothing.
