Hello:

I am using Thunderbird 60.2.1: Just today most of the messages in my Inbox and multiple Local folders went missing or not visible. When I use the Search feature I do find the messages, but not when I just click on my Inbox or my individual Local folders. I have tried using the Restore button for my Inbox & each of my Local folders - and the messages do appear temporarily. However, as soon as I close my Inbox or any of my Local folders the messages disappear again. I have also tried dumping the associated .msf files and then we starting Thunderbird, but the messages are still missing. Also, when I get a new message in my Inbox, I have to use the Inbox Restore button to get any incoming messages.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Correction: "Restore button" = Repair button.
