I downloaded thunderbird 3/24/16 . I "cleaned" my macbook pro on 7/10. My "inbox" now only shows emails from 6/26/16 to present and my "sent" emails shows from 3/24/16 thru 3/29/16 then skips to 7/7/16 to present. Need to recapture lost emails. Thanks

Chosen solution

went into my library and cleared files.

Perhaps you did delete your own mail. I hope your computer runs faster now (even though I doubt it.)

Sorry can't be more specific.

Too bad. I'm not going to speculate what you may have done.

It actually does run faster, and I didn't delete my email as it would have had to been deliberate to eliminate just a few months of emails only. anyway I appreciate your willingness to try an help me. Thank you very much
