1) Occasionally, an email in my inbox will disappear after I shut down in the evening and open in the morning. (Serious problem) 2) Often (1 out of 5) one email will appear twice in my inbox. When I delete one, the other disappears. (Just strange) 3) Occasionally, an email I send will appear in my inbox as well as my sent box. (A bit confusing but the messages get sent)

Thunderbird 52.7.0 Windows 10 pro Version 1709 Build 16299.431

Problems just started with the update before last.

Glitches 2 and 3 are just irritating I really would like to stop the loss of incoming emails in the inbox. If I save them in a folder, they don't get lost.
