I allowed Thunderbird to compact my files after I got tired of seeing the prompts for it, now all my messages are apparently gone for one account, in over 12 different sub folders. How do I get these back’ for ‘Thunderbird’ ? VERY IMPORTANT! version 144.0.1 (64 bit)

This is the second time I have lost emails with Thunderbird.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, I AM DONE WITH THIS CRAP!

I recently installed Thunderbird for use with Gmail. I have created several message filters, but they keep disappearing. I have found that multiple filter files have been created:

Any idea why this is happening? Thanks

Dear all,

Previously Thunderbird has been saying that I had several unread e-mails in my Inbox. But I was unable to find them.

This morning I opened my Thunderbird and had my e-mails in the Inbox. Then a moment later all the e-mails disappeared. Yet it was still saying that I had five unread e-mails. Thunderbird prompted me to Compact Now which I did. I would be grateful if you could explain me how I can recover my e-mails. Thanks.

Kind regards, George Nielsen

Hello

Yesterday I updated my Kubuntu from 24.04 to 25.04 without any big issues.

Today I still had some updates to do (some SNAP stuff I think) wiich I did. While using Thunderbird, I got a message that there was no space for my account (don't know why, since there's a lot of space available on the HDD).

I closed TB and opened again, and now I noticed that all emails from May to October are missing, on the 3 accounts that I have there!!!! What the hell happened? Is there any way to recover them?

Thanks
