My in-box no longer contains all the messages I received. Earlier this year all the older e-mails disappeared. Where did they go? How do I retrieve them?
Normally, my e-mails remain in my inbox. This provides a reliable record of what I have received over the years. Recently in Thunderbird 52.4.0 (32 bit) most of these were suddenly removed. I assume they were archived somewhere. How do I retrieve older e-mails that I received. I used to have all e-mails going back to 2012 in my in box. Now, it only goes back to 06/20/17. I do have other older computers running other versions of Thunderbird where this does not occur. However, it has happened here.

"Reliable record"? "Over the years"? Shudder.
I don't like anything left in my Inbox. I file it away. How do you find anything? And experience shows that if any folder on Thunderbird is to have an accident, it's the Inbox that goes. Especially if over-zealous anti-virus software tries to impound it.
If it has been "Archived", it would be in your Archive folders.
