Hello, so, I have my thunderbird profile on an external hard drive. Thunderbird was open and the hard drive was disconnected. After reconnecting the harddrive, on just one of my accounts, the inbox folder showed empty and the draft sent and junk folders disappeared. New messages are dowloded without problem. I have tried the repair folder option, it stays at the build index step. I waited for three hours or a little more, should I wait more? my inbox size is 2.5 GB. I have tried deleting the msf file but I can get to recreate them after deleting them. I have tried copying the msf files in the Local folder, but nothing happens. The other accounts were not affected. I am using the 115.18.0 (64-bit) version on linux. Any help would be most welcome

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

ok, my bad, when the hard drive was disconnected, TB automatically set the local directory in my server settings to my home...with the correct path everything works fine...feeling much better now.
