Thunderbird just deleted 90% of my newest emails with none in TRASH
When I started Thunderbird on my Windows 8 PC it automatically started deleting emails from my inbox. 90% of my newest emails were sent to trash but none were there.

Had you done anything else you're not telling us about, such as deleting them on the server, or in another client (tablet, phone etc)?
I do NOT synchronize my email account with any other device. This incident occurred when I started Thunderbird on my home PC. The emails were immediately deleted with a message stating they were moved to "TRASH". However they were NOT in the TRASH folder.
In order for us to better investigate this issue you need to add a little more non-personal information.
