Can you rebuild the index on that folder ?

Comment 3

[Yuri]

I closed TB, deleted corresponding .msf file. After restart these messages still show the same way as on the screenshot, even when it was saying "Indexing XXX of XXX messages in ..." and same after indexing is done.

This is the mailing list folder where messages only get added by filter on IMAP mailbox. When I look into the on-disk mailbox file I see that one of the messages (from Oct 04 13:05:53) shown on the screenshot looks like this (see the first From there):

setting status to *critical* since it involves the mail loss.
TB-5.0

Comment 5

[Yuri]

Now I got it again: I had ~20 messages in the small local folder, some marked as deleted. I copied one message to IMAP folder. After this I see many messages blanked, like in a screenshot.
