Hi, for some severely annoying reason all emails from 2nd Jan 2021 to 6th June 2022 when clicked will show the wrong content. In fact the email from 1st Jan 2021 (the first one in the Inbox). I don't know when this problem started because I don't generally look at emails that old. I suspect it happen since two months ago when I last looked up historic emails. I vaguely remember doing a compact in the last few months (it was recommended after all).

Unfortunately I have got a bit lazy with my inbox. It currently contains 1450 emails from the past three years. It seems (now) that is not recommended but why the feck should the amount lead to corruption?? If you can store 2 messages you should be able to store at least 2^32 for crying out loud! It's all just 7-bit ASCII FFS!

So how on earth am I going to fix this?! I have old backups but how do I merge messages from one account to the current live one?

(Recently running Thunderbird v115.9.0 32-bit from v109.something.something)

Maybe, but if you let your Inbox grow to a huge file, it would also take your anti-virus software a huge amount of time to scan your Inbox file every time a new message is received. Anti-virus software is the most likely culprit to cause Thunderbird mail file corruption.

To avoid problems create an exception in your anti-virus software for the Thunderbird profile folder, so that the anti-virus real-time scanner will not scan it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_how-to-find-your-profile

So how on earth am I going to fix this?

Try to rebuild the index file for Inbox. Right-click the Inbox folder in the folder pane - Properties - Repair Folder

Note, depending on the state of mail file corruption, in the worst case, your messages may already be gone. In that case you can only restore them from a backup created prior to the incident.

It is best practice to keep the Inbox as tidy as possible.
