And above, in the Tab-header, there often is a little thingy moving left-right when I select an empty mailbox, as if it tries to load the emails. However, on the right side, there were three little hollow stars, indicating there had been three emails.īut after restarting Thunderbird, the field is completely empty. I pressed OK, and all tree emails were gone. I right-clicked the mailbox > Properties. I selected one email, and could read the email in the preview-pane. But only the few néw ones, not the many other ones. Restarting Thunderbird does not help.īut when new email arives, I do see them in the inbox, or in the other boxes. The emails in the box dissapeared immediately at Repair. To be sure, I ‘repaired’ a fourth small mailbox, waited for two hours, and did not touch Thunderbird. It happened instantly after Repair, in the Mailbox-properties. Three (POP3) mailfolders (mailboxes) don’t show any emails anymore (including the Inbox).
If you are running add-ons in Thunderbird, try disabling those manually via Tools > Add-ons, or use Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled to restart the email client with all extensions disabled for that session.Lost Emails after Repair – Thunderbird shows empty mailboxes. You find that option under Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Enable Global Search and Indexer. If you do not rely on the global search, or notice that it slows down the email program, you may want to consider disabling it. You can do so under Tools > Options > Advanced > Network & Disk Space > Compact all folders when it will save over xx MB in total. Make sure you have configured Thunderbird to compact the mailboxes regularly to save space. While you may find that this is a viable solution for some slow down issues or freezes in Thunderbird, you may want to take a look at other possible solutions that help you speed up the email program on your system. It is again recommended to backup the profile before running the software program. All it takes to delete all msf files associated with the profile is to select the profile and click on the Fix Profile link. It displays a list of Thunderbird profiles that it found on the computer system after execution. ThunderFix eliminates most of the hassle associated with the process. Another possibility is to run a software program like ThunderFix.
