Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209501

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:125.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/125.0

Steps to reproduce:

TB Version 115.10.1 on MacOS 11.7.10 Big Sur on my Macbook Pro Retina 13" late 2013.

Don't really know what precipitated this. Scrolled to the top (oldest) part of a message list.

Actual results:

Found dozens of message entries with all the fields containing nothing.

Expected results:

Such entries are not "real" and shouldn't be there.

Please see if repairing the folder (via its contextmenu) removes these entries and share your findings in bug 209501. You are not alone ...

I don't see "repairing" in the folder context menu. There is a "Compact" but that had no effect on removing the bogus entries. What is compact supposed to do?

"Repair" fixed it.
