I recently started using Thunderbird and have been impressed with the ease of use it has allowed for me to have multiple emails in one place.

But I have hit a problem with my hotmail account. I deleted all unwanted emails and then I sent the rest to an archive folder I had manually created, then I realised there was an archive folder within the hotmail account (still within thunderbird) so I selected all the emails and drag and dropped them into the proper archive folder. This created a list of folders ranging from 2012 to 2019.


Everything from 2012 to 2015 seems ok but everything from 2015 to the present is not showing and I'm not sure why, I have read through some other forum posts and managed to get into folders but am not confident in changing anything in case I make it worse. I'll attach a screenshot of the archive folder details.

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Print screen was not working for some reason so a pic was taken.

Hi sfhowes,

I tried to do as you said and there seems to be nothing in there, is there anything else that can be tried?

Thanks in advance

Ok, so why would they have been corrupted? Did I drag and drop a way too big selection of emails? It was probably about 500.

I'll take it as a loss, so there is nothing I can do? They have been thunderbird blasted!

Can you give me an example of a text editor I could use please?
