432514 - Mail corruption: Messages in inbox are missing

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Morten Boysen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.14 (20080421)

I cannot say what happened before this error occured, as I do not remember doing anything specific, except deleting some emails from the Inbox in a POP3 account. The problem showed itself when selecting a message in the message list and nothing was shown in the message pane. When opening a message, it also did not show anything. All message content are gone, but the list of messages are still there. However, when I choose the last message, it shows the wrong mail in the message pane. Looking into the Inbox file, I can see it only contains two mails. It seems as if the rest of the Inbox has disappeared without warning. When I delete a message in the Inbox now, it behaves weird in the sense, that only one message is shown (I tried this earlier, and there were 5 copies of one of the messages that are left in the Inbox datafile).

Note that all other folders work without any problems.
