Yesterday, for no apparent reason, Firefox downloaded somewhere over 600 very old, 2004/2005/2006, etc. messages to my inbox.

Windows 7, Firefox 13 current version... Anyone with ideas on what went wrong? Richard

Hi,

It could be a change in the email display settings, as the actual emails, email settings etc. are all stored at the email provider's end and Firefox only displays it. You may have to change the email settings or contact the email provider support.
