Hi,
my $HOME is /home/mo and there is a symlink
m -> mo/
But when I start Thunar with tree view it has always as initial directory opened:
File System -> home -> m
There is also a section mo with a "home" icon, but it's collapsed.

Where is "m" located? In $HOME or in /home.

Do you have "Restore Tabs on Startup" selected (File Manager Preference > Behaviour tab)? If so, it may be saved:
xfconf-query -c thunar -p /last-tabs-left

Directory mo/ and the symlink m -> mo/ are both located in /home.
The environment variable $HOME is "/home/mo".
$ xfconf-query -c thunar -p /last-tabs-left
Property "/last-tabs-left" does not exist on channel "thunar".

How do you start thunar?
And does the issue persist if you start it from the menu or start it manually by running "thunar" in a terminal window?
And finally, can your run:
thunar -q
thunar
...and see if it still happens?

Starting from Applications Menu -> File Manager: Same issue.
Starting via keyboard shortcut calling "exo-open --launch FileManager": Same issue.
Calling "exo-open --launch FileManager" when inside a user shell in /home/mo (same like $HOME): Now it works, and Thunar starts with the section "mo" selected and not the foreign "File system..."
Doing the same when staying in /home/m which is just a symlink: Again the issue starting Thunar in the "File system..." section.
So somehow the current Xfce session thinks it's located in /home/m
I already did some changes as before /home/m was the real directory and /home/mo was the link... I'm going to reboot first to see if that solves it.

You mentioned in your first post that $HOME was /home/mo. Can you confirm with:
env | grep HOME
Also, what does your passwd entry say?
cat /etc/passwd | grep $USER

$ echo $HOME
/home/mo
$ grep mo /etc/passwd
mo:x:4711:4711::/home/mo:/bin/bash
