Hi. I opened up thunderbird and I've got no messages in my Inbox. My other folders have stored and other messages. I can't see any of my inbox in the trash, junk etc. Don't know where they have disappeared to. I just sent a test message to my email and it appears to be working. I'm just missing my inbox saved messages. Any help appreciated.

What happens if you turn off automatic compact in Settings, and restart Thunderbird?

doesnt make any difference. I have 2 emails set up in thunderbird. It's only affected one of these and just the inbox in this. Very odd.

Check that there aren't any filters under View/Threads or Quick Filter that e.g. display only unread mail.

these are okay. i think the inbox may have been deleted at the server. Like i said the folders i have still have their messages in them.

Suddenly, my sent boxes on my 8 emails are empty. Each account shows the number of sent emails associated with the address, but none show any individual emails. Am using 138.0b3 (64-bit) Beta. How do I restore my sent emails?
