all INBOX emails disappeared--no luck repairing folder or deleting INBOX.msf but they are still showing on provider website

Aaron Lavoie

all INBOX emails disappeared from one of my email accounts. The other is working fine. Emails that were still open in one of the tabs are also now just an empty tab. --no luck repairing folder or deleting INBOX.msf. If I go to the Charter/Spectrum website the emails are still showing What should I try next?

I setup Outlook on my PC and the Charter email moved fine into Outlook We can consider this resolved

I suggest deleting the file named INBOX as well as INBOX.msf. Do that when thunerbird not running. This applies ONLY if the account is IMAP.

Making progress, I think. There were about 1150 messages originally. Last night started repopulating and still is in progress. Seems very slow. Current count is 1129 messages in Thunderbird Mailbox, but I can't access any. Tried restarting Thunderbird but didn't change anything. Bottom message bar still indicates connected to mobile.charter.net

No change since this morning. Can't open any of the inbox or sent items messages. Should I delete the INBOX file and try again?

It may be a coincidence, but I have seen a number of charter.net problems today.

On your question, I just don't know. I have not seen this before. Maybe someone else on the forum will have suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback. It was apparently a timeout issue on the server.
