No messages visible
I recently imported successfully a large (2GB) folder to Thunderbird on Windows 10.. Soon after I received a message wanting to run compaction. Now I cannot display any messages at all from any folder. There is no message to show that compaction is still running although Task Manager does show show a task with the name of the imported folder using less than 1% CPU.
I am syncing to iCloud which I now gather is not recommended. As far as I can see the Mail is still in the database - the folders are all roughly the expected size. .msf files are all there - small compared to the corresponding mail file but not empty. I tried a repair on the imported folder but it did not make any difference.
What can I do please?

I closed down Thunderbird, made a backup to a location outside the cloud and then retarted. The messages reappeared and it seems to be OK. Any advice on avoiding a recurrence?
I have seen reports before where imported messages were not accessible. Is that what you are saying?

No it is not just the imported messages that were not visible. No messages were visible.
A clean restart fixed the problem for the moment, but I would like to know how how I can avoid a recurrence next time I run compacting
Your description sounds close to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1776505.
Next time you do this, check Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) for errors.
