I copied my emails from inbox into a local folder under thunderbird. Some of the emails are complete now empty (blank), and original content disappeared.

What can i do to get original emails back?

Help much appreciated. Thanks.

Did you copy them or move them? If you copied them, are both copies corrupted? Do you regularly and frequently compact your folders? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupted_message_body_display http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recover_messages_from_a_corrupt_folder http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keep_it_working_%28Thunderbird%29
