I recently moved most of my emails from our server to a "Local Folders" directory to free up server space. Using the Thunderbird global search function (top right), I am able to see the emails (subject lines, to / from / etc.) stored in local folders in search, but when clicking any one of those messages I am greeted with a blank screen - no message content is displayed.

Please help

Reporter,

If you move a single message at a time, do you see the same problem? In other words, does moving multiple messages have a different result than moving a single message?
