This could be a dup of 579848. 

Anything in Tools -> Error console ?

Error in console:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80550007 [nsIMsgFolder.getStringProperty]"  nsresult: "0x80550007 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://messenger/content/folderPane.js :: ftv_smart__isSmartFolder :: line 1498"  data: no]

Could this be related to fact that I do not keep my email folders in Thunderbird's default location?
