Thunderbird 128.7.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 10 PC. Upon going to my Sent Folder, I find only 2 emails (both sent today) rather than the several thousand that were there previously. This may have occurred due to a power outage system shutdown. Regardless of the cause, the problem exists. I tried to compact the folder with no success. I tried to repair the folder (under folder properties > general information > repair folder) with no success. Still only 2 emails are shown in the Sent Folder. BUT the emails still exist, because when I use the Quick Filer to search for a person to whom I've sent emails, the old emails show up! So how can I get all these "invisible" emails to be visible in the Sent Folder? Thanks for your help on this! Rich
