This issue shows up randomly, affecting a random number of messages. Issue is that one message will take over other messages following. Message notification will look normal in the inbox, but click on the message following X message, and the X message is what will appear. The subject line at the very top of the page will be from Y, but the rest of the information following will be from X. Two, three or more messages may be affected. Deleting X will make no difference. This time, four messages were affected.

Generally this is caused by anti virus product. Right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button to fix the index of where in the file messages start.

This worked for a while, Now the problem is back. How do I fix permanently? I have Malwarebytes, McAfee, and I suppose Windows Defenders.

Personally I would dump McAfee, but I have been fielding questions about it here since John McAfee sold the company back in 2012. It is a long time to be working on getting it right.
but fundamentally you need to have an exception in McAfee that stops the Av scanning in the Thunderbird profile folders.
McAfee came free with my service. Who would you recommend?
