Tasks have disappeared.
A lot of my tasks have disappeared from the Tasks list. I definitely did not delete them. Whereabouts do I find them in the profile and how do I restore them? It is the second time this has happened. Do i need to reinstall Thunderbird? Thanks in anticipation.

What happens when you try these options:
In the Today Pane: right-click in the Task area and select "Filter Tasks." select "All,"
In Tasks list - Events and Tasks > Tasks Left pane will now have 'Show' above the calendar list. Click on 'Show' to see the list of options. - Select 'All'
If the first comment did not work, then please try the following:
- Menu app icon > Help > Troubleshooting Information
- Under 'Application Basics' - Profile Folder - Click on 'Open folder'
A new window opens showing the contents of your 'profile name' folder.
- Exit Thunderbird if running....this is important
- Click on 'calendar-data' folder to see contents.
- Copy local.sqlite file and put copy onto desktop.
- In calendar-data folder - Rename 'local.sqlite' to 'local.sqlite.bak' -
Download install addon - Firefox sqlite DB manager add-on into Firefox browser.
- Start the addon - you should see a new icon on the toolbar near the menu app icon - hover over icon and it will say SQLite Manager - click on it.
Use addon to open the desktop copy of the local.sqlite DB
- drag the desktop copy of 'local.sqlite' into the opened addon.
run two SQL queries - you type this in the yellow area
Searched for items with null id:
- SELECT * from cal_events WHERE id IS NULL LIMIT 100
If you find any... So then use the following to deleted it:
- DELETE FROM cal_events WHERE id IS NULL
- Save the database file, 'Save' located at the bottom - save is usually saved in the 'Downloads' folder.
- Access the 'Downloads' folder to locate downloaded saved version of 'local.sqlite'.
- put the saved 'local.sqlite' back into the 'calendar-data' folder
restart Thunderbird and report on results.
