New e-mails and ones arrived today have messages in the message pane. Older than today the messages are blank as are attachments. Headers are in place. Just updated to latest version yesterday and today.

I did that and lost all the messages prior to about an hour ago, messages, headers, everything. I reinstalled Thunderbird and still nothing, did not lose my addresses though. Went from over 2000 e-mails in my inbox to 6? Don't know where everything went. This is a small business client, I need the messages and attachments!
