On the first PC (yours) go to Settings > General > scroll to the bottom until you see "Indexing": Verify if "Enable Global Search and Indexer" is checked.

R-click on your Inbox folder > Properties to open the "Folder Properties" window (see image) Verify if ⬜︎ Include messages in this folder in Global Search results" is checked. If it is unchecked you won't be able to open Inbox messages in conversation.
"Conversation" view in Thunderbird only works with a valid global-messages-db.sqlite file. Sometimes this file gets damaged and it is recommended to renew it: open the Thunderbird profile folder via Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profiles, click on "Show in Finder" and quit (⌘ + Q) Thunderbird. Now you will see a Finder window with the contents of the profile folder. Search for the file global-messages-db.sqlite and delete it. Launch Thunderbird again which will start re-indexing all messages from all folders (excepting Trash). Depending on the total number of messages this will take some minutes or several hours.
