Steps to reproduce:
doing something which made folderdisplay try to redisplay.
being slow, there came the message whether to cancel script or not (folderdisplay.js at line 2181?).
Actual results:
after cancelling the script, the previously selected emails were gone.
I occasionally loose emails in TB, now I think this is what happens.

Can you be more specific?

Unresponsive script dialog?
I used quickfilter to find all amazon emails in inbox (> 1100 messages), in order to move them with nostalgy.
While TB was building the display in quickfilter, I received the unresponsive script dialog. Tried wait two times, then needed to go and pressed stop or whatever it is called. TB hung and never came back, stopped by task manager (Win 10).
The amazon emails are gone (in TB), even using edit->search-> search all messages. Didn't check the imap mailserver. Other TB they are gone as well.
I think this is now the forth time in a week I am observing loss of email after unresponsive script. Happened earlier as well, but only once every three months or so.
Didn't check the imap mailserver. ... meaning: they might be there flagged deleted, or they might be truely gone, didn't check for that yet
not sure it is related. I am just deleting messages in a folder. 15 concsecutive are selected, then pressed delete. Script hangs folderpane.js:2138. (another time at :2152) ,Maybe yesterday it was folderpane.js, not folderdisplay,js

Bug reports are more useful if you list the full steps when you report an issue.
If I understand correctly, you did quick filter on a Inbox >1100 message (bug is it lots larger than that?) then used a nostagly function which you don't identify, then you get Unresponsive Script.
Anyway, it seems likely the fault is in nostalgy.
no it hangs before even completing the message list, so it is not nostalgy. ('while TB was building the display in quickfilter').
Nostalgy only is applied after the list is completed, which it never did. It is only intended to be used, but not used yet at that stage.
Script hangs in folderpane.js:2138: ->from dxr:
- This is our implementation of nsIMsgFolderListener to watch for changes
I added a folder a few days ago, but that is already displayed and synced.

(In reply to klaus from comment #6)

You'd be surprised. Please test without Nostalgy, or any addons for that matter.
ok. you're right, they inject code even if not used from their UI. I will try to find out.
no addons for three days, then no longer unresponsive script notices. So you seem to be right.
The general UI slowness stays on, and TB is still totally blocked while downloading IMAP mails. But these are other issues.
So it seems this bug can be closed at the present knowledge.
I will try to find out which addon is the culprit. In any case, on a slow notebook, quickfilters causes unresponsive script notices, but I disabled that long ago.

Thanks. Good to know it's not us :)
Thunderbird Safe mode is always a good test
