IMAP email downloading broken if clicking on the email list

Thunderbird Send and receive email

Hi,

For both servers imap.exmail.qq.com / imap.263.net, when I click on the email subject in the email list during downloading processes (many emails headers are being downloaded but email body downloading is not completed), the email is broken without any content (only header).

I go to the web email server and move the email to another folder and then move it back to inbox. Then I delete the same email in Thunderbird and donwload again the email again, it's completely downloaded with the email body.

I don't have any issue with eM client or Outlook for such issues. Any possible setting to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Try right-click Inbox > Properties > click 'Repair folder' button.

Then I delete the same email in Thunderbird ...

Note, this would also delete the message on the server when Thunderbird is online. With IMAP there is no concept of deleting messages locally only, and keep them on the server, unless Thunderbird is offline.
