308914 - New emails arriving over pop3 email accounts have no message body and in the mail view also no header information

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 321371

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[StarBuG]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050907 Firefox/1.4 thunderbird 1.6a1 (20050916)

Since 2 days now I get empty mails over all of my POP3 Accounts.
In the email overview everything looks normal but when I open the email I see
neither the header information nor the body text.

I checked the mail on my server first and there they are ok.

I sometimes get the error message:  "There was an error truncating the Inbox
after filtering a message to folder ´Support´. You may need to shutdown
Thunderbird and delete INBOX.msf" 

Therefor I deleted all .msf files
restarted thunderbird and rebuild all my inbox folders.
After that I compacted all folders

It does not help.
All emails I recieve are empty.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write an email to one of my pop3 accounts (or recieve one from others)
2. complete download of all messages from pop3
3. open message and everything is missing

I've experienced few times similar behavior. 

I use many rules/folders (up to 1000 emails per day) and sometimes it happens, that when I click the message in folder I see proper subject, but content is shown from different email message (mostly it is part of previous emails in the same folder -  but just a part, broken in certain place). 

Sometimes (but not always) in such case I got message 
"There was an error truncating the Inbox after filtering a message to folder XXXX. You may need to shutdown Thunderbird and delete INBOX.msf"

Yeah - it sounds for me like a duplicate. 
My local mail server is often overloaded what causes timeouts during fetching emails - what probably causes this problem (as described in bug #321371).
