I upgraded Thunderbird a few minutes ago, but now I see there are messages in my Inbox, but I can only see the folder, the emails are not accessible. Nor can I seem to send messages, read messages, get to my Address book. I have normal menu bar at the top, the left panel is the normal list of folders, but on the right where I should see emails, as I have clicked on the Inbox, I see

Thunderbird Mail - Inbox 

   EMAIL
       Read messages
       Write a new message

Accounts 

    View settings for this account
    Create a new account
           Email     Chat    Newsgroups   Feeds

and so on, These are listed in groupings, which I can't effectively show, but I can't do any of these things.

I even uninstalled Mozilla and then reinstalled it, but apparently, that didn't work, as it found my account settings, instead of my having to reset them and I was right back where I was before.

Actually it did not answer my question, I still need resolution.

Actually no one has responded to your question. Besides the apparent new forum feature of quoting your posts you are talking to yourself. I am not sure what is causing the change to the forum and why all of a sudden it is quoting the questions and sending email notifications with those quotes. I am going to tag this one and see if a moderator has an answer to the new quote postings.
