Is this a POP account? If so it's possible that you have Thunderbird set to 'fetch headers only'. Check in your Account Settings > Server Settings.

yes it is pop, but the fetch headers only box is unticked.

Right click the folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.

I have tried that aswell

Just upgraded to Ver 45. Now I have this same problem. I click on a message. It shows Loading. But nothing loads.

I use Google IMAP Server. So the above solution doesn't do anything for me. Need some asap. Thanks.
