1. Find & open your Thunderbird Profile folder:

Select Help: Troubleshooting Information from the Thunderbird menu (either from the menu button , on the top right, or the normal menu at the top of the window.)

Under "Application Basics", beside "Profile Folder", click the "Show Profile" button. This will open a window showing the contents of your Thunderbird Profile folder.

2. Quit Thunderbird, but keep that window open showing your Thunderbird Profile folder.

3. Delete "global-messages-db.sqlite" and "panacea.dat" from the profile folder.

4. Start Thunderbird.

If this doesn't solve the problem, then:

5. Right-click the e-mail folder and choose Properties. Then click the Repair Folder button.

6. From the menu, select File: Compact Folders.

Please let me know how it goes.
