Hi

What is this? Opened up Thunderbird after getting a new email, but everything is blank !!

I can still mark where there should be emails listed with the mouse, but double clicking does nothing.

If I right click I can open the menu and choose open via it.

I've tried compacting the inbox and restarting both Thunderbird and the computer but the problem is unchanged.

What to do??

Seems the columns have just disappeared by themselves somehow as I've not touched those settings.

After finding this out and restoring the columns, everything is working again.

Could not upload screenshot via form when posting the question. Here it is:

Should add: Its only for inbox of the one account in Thunderbird. If I go to any other folder on the same account or any of the other accounts I have, the white area blocking emails getting listed disappears.

Tried running Thunderbird in Safe mode, but no change to the problem.
