I started TB after a crash, and a few folders did not have their icons.

At first I thought maybe these were all folders I had set to custom color, but on checking, no, most did not have a color set.

So I'm at a loss to explain why. icons appeared on a second startup

Does this happen only after a crash?
From the screenshot it seems to be from macOS, but in the bug is reported Windows as a platform, is that correct?

Icons are defined by the folder properties, so to put it simply if the row doesn't get the specialFolder-Inbox property, the icon will not be applied. But in that case a default folder icon should appear.

Are you able to reproduce this in some way? If I can recreate this scenario I can see what's up.
Adding Richard to this as he might have some insights.

Hmm, no, I can't say what happened. Could it be a corrupt folder icon cache? Or is it on every startup created

Or is it on every startup created?

No, the next startup was fine

I've not seen this again. And not reproducible, so => incomplete
