Thunderbird 141.0 "Ghost Message" - deleted message in message list

I have a message that is still listed after being deleted. When I highlight the messages listed above it and below it, I can see their contents with no problem. However, when I click on the "ghost message" listing in between them, I will see the contents of the last message viewed, not the contents of the ghost message that is highlighted.

Also, when I first open Thunderbird and highlight that ghost message first, the review pane is blank, like there is no message there. Then if I click on a different message, that message's contents will show in the preview pane. Then when I go back and click on the the ghost message listing, that pane is still showing the previous message's contents.

When I click on "delete" message, I get the constant blue indicator light in the lower right glowing and nothing happens.

Do you still see this problem when using version 143? Or in Help > Troubleshoot Mode?

Wayne, with version 143 I now have NO email.

When TB upgraded from 142 to 143, it deleted half my folders, and it would not let me delete any downloaded emails.

Right now, my only option is a backup copy that is a month old that I am trying to use to rebuild my folders.

TB needs to implement a new precautionary procedure with updates: 

            BEFORE it installs any changes, it creates a new and separate directory with the complete, current profile as a backup.

At least this way, there will be a current copy of the profile BEFORE any corruption happens.

This has happened to me way to many times now and unfortunately, TB is the only email client that I can find that at least lets me try to rebuild from a screw up like this.
