Problem: Thunderbird moved over 1k recent messages to Archives in Local folders
I have a problem. Without warning (and without any settings checked to do this) Thunderbird moved all my 2025 emails that were in the main Inbox (not in subfolders) to Archives within the Local Network section. This moved them off the server, so for me they effectively disappeared and I can't access them on my phone, New messages are now coming into the Inbox. It seemed to happen very quickly and suddenly with no warning. I am trying to move them back to the Inbox, but it is time consuming and unsafe and I do not know why it happened. It coincided with messages about Thunderbird needing to compact messages - something I hadn't yet agreed to and that message is still coming up. Thanks in advance of help.
