Build ID: 20150525141253

Steps to reproduce:

After compacting folders, there are always some messages missing, usually it happens, that  the sender and subject is missing, while the content is still available! I'm not sure, if there are still other issues, like changing the subject and the content of a mail has been done. 
Version 31.7.0, as well some earlier versions, I'm using Thunderbird since about 2009
Are the messages that are missing in a pop account?
Does this also happen with version 38?
Please backup your thunderbird profile before updating.

For now many months have you seen this behavior?
