Which version of thunderbird? Does it still occur in 1.5beta2?

You can also try right-clicking the inbox and compacting it.

Yes i have installed the latest version today and compacted the folder. I'm
thinking about exporting the whole bunch and reinstalling the software.

Appears to be a dupe of bug 151440.

This is happening to me as well.  It started a few days ago.  I've even deleted all my trash, removing most of my inbox and it still happens.  Each and every time I check for new mail, I receive the same 25 messages that were first deleted in 2004.  Please help!
