When I click on my combined inbox, all messages show in the message list. Then when I go to click on any or hover over any message within the inbox, I get this (see photo).

Please try this: 'View' > 'Folders' > 'All' OR 'Menu icon' > 'Folders > 'All

Make hidden files and folders visible:

In Thunderbird

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • click on 'show Folder' button

a new window opens showing your Profile folder

  • Close / Exit Thunderbird now - this is important.

Look for and delete these files:

  • foldertree.json
  • panacea.dat
  • session.json
  • xulstore.json
  • click on 'Mail' folder
  • delete this folder: 'smart mailboxes'
  • Close window - top right X
  • Restart Thunderbird.

Check all Inboxes are showing correctly.

Change the view back to 'Unified' 'View' > 'Folders' > 'Unified' OR 'Menu icon' > 'Folders > 'Unified'
