I'm a new user of thunderbird. I used to label my emails, but was finding it hard to find them again, so I decided to create file folders in my inbox, I created 4 and now I only have 1 of those. Now I can't find those emails, and even searching for the labels, I can't find them in my inbox. Can I retreive those emails?

Thanks!!

It is a bad idea to use the inbox for storage. It was not designed for that. You can make new folders in an account. Use those to save messages.

Thanks for the information. Is there any way to undo what I did and be able to see the mails that were in those folders in my inbox? Also, in the link I didn't see how to create these other folders you mention. If I try to crate a folder it asks me if I want them in the inbox or local folders.

thanks again.

Try repairing the folder.
