when I get emails in my inbox i can read the new ones and they display all information relating to who sent them etc plus content of email. However, once I have viewed(read) them although still listed in the inbox when I restart thunderbird and click on an email nothing appears and the content area is blank. info relating to sender etc seems to stick on whichever last unread email i viewed

Sounds like you have some corruption in your Inbox. Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder. Be prepared to lose some messages if the corruption is very bad.

Read this article about maintaining your system to help prevent this in the future.

You might log into your account on your provider web mail page and see if they are still on the server. Otherwise they are more than likely gone.

You could check the backup of your profile that you are surely doing. :) Mozbackup is a good way to back things up just for this situation.
