User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0 Build ID: 20151013030225 Steps to reproduce: First of I use Earlybird 43.0a2 (2015-10-14). I updated to Windows 10. I stored the E-Mails in a different folder, so not the default. Except for one Account which works just fine, or almost. Actual results: At start "Unable to open summary file for (name of folder)" messages for every folder not working. It keeps on spinning the loading circle but I don't know what it's trying to do. Also when you open the folder properties there's no Folder Location. Expected results: Starting. Working.
Does it also happen with Thunderbird started in safe mode?

Summary: Unable to open summary file ... → "Unable to open summary file" for folder
Fixed Apparently there were no rights to write in the folder I store my mails at. Don't know how it's called in English but changing the rights for everybody to full access for the folder fixed the problem immediately.
Summary: "Unable to open summary file" for folder → Unable to open summary file ...
In Windows, it's typically NTFS permissions.
