missing emails
I've lost all the contents of a folder in one of my TB accounts, including all subfolders. Mysterious, and all the more so since another email folder which wasn't a subfolder of this one is now in there as a subfolder. Everything else in that folder has gone. Nothing has disappeared anywhere else. I've trashed and rebuilt global-messages-db.sqlite but this hasn't helped, no difference. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are they visible when you log into webmail? If so, see if those folders are subscribed:
- on the main mail screen in the L. column, R. click the account (just above the Inbox) > Subscribe
Yes, but they come from three different email accounts and of course only the recent ones, some of the emails stored in TB on my hard drive go back years (decades?) and are long gone from any webmail account. So it's really a local issue. I went into the mail folder on my hard drive (Users/Username/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xyz.default-release/Mail) and the missing folder was there alright, but I didn't have permissions ("no entry" sign). Very peculiar. I checked the permissions and it said I had read/write (even stranger), so I changed it to read only then back to read/write and it still showed the no entry symbol. So I gave read/write permissions to everyone and that solved the permissions problem. I checked the folder again, and the email file had disappeared. The msf file was there, but not the email.
I have no idea how that happened but I got a backup from Time Machine and put it back. All well now. But a mystery nonetheless.
I have the same problem. However, when I do the r subscribe, I see the lost folder but how do I open it? When I click on the folder in 'subscribe' there is nothing in there. I still have the folder on my email but there is nothing in there...all gone. I cannot even access my stored emails.Charles
This is really ludicrous. I trusted thunderbird and even sent money to them. Now, all of a sudden all my saved emails are gone. I have spent hours truing to find them to no use.

If they are not on the server, they are gone. Contact you email provider support and ask if they can restore from backup.
