FIX

We believe the fix for the issue would be running the script below, make sure to Run as Admin

Set-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System" -Name "EnableLinkedConnections" -Value 0x00000001

Copy the above script on the affected machine running Thunderbird or any other problem where mapped drives cannot be seen, once it's run make sure to reboot the pc, then run thunderbird as admin.

As of windows 10, the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\EnableLinkedConnections defaults to 0, disabling mapped drives that were mapped without elevation in elevated sessions
