I'm using the global mail search working on all mailboxes. I got two results of messages I received with plausible results. But I cannot click and view one of these mails. I believe that I have deleted this message already. Also if I search directly on the described folder I got only one match! Why are the results different? Why I see messages deleted a year ago? The Trash folder is empty!

Thunderbird 60.6.1

If you rebuild the search index, I think you'll find only the one remaining message appears in global search.
