Thunderbird Email Contents don't display after a few days

more options

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the contents of my inbox folder stopped displaying correctly. Initially, when I received new emails, they appeared normally in the inbox folder. However, after a few days, the contents of these messages started to disappear, leaving only blank emails. I have created subfolders within the main inbox folder, and those subfolders haven't been affected at all.

I tried repairing the inbox folder, but after doing so, the non-displayed messages completely disappeared from the inbox. I have two POP accounts (let's call them Account A and Account B), and only Account A's inbox folder has been affected.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue. Thank you!

If you would like to restore the inbox, you can close the Thunderbird program and make a copy of your files, save them in a subfolder or usb tool.outside your profile folder.try to rename the inbox you want, then you can delete the inbox.msf file and start the program again, the new inbox named after you will appear again, try to compact this inbox to click on the right click and it will work again for sure as it should yes ,if you try to open it has this topic an okay then you can delete the copies and try to use the inbox carefully.
