Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.

If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

If your problem is with Thunderbird, let us know and we can move this thread to the Thunderbird queue. This question currently is in the Firefox queue for answers.

My mistake. I am using thunderbird. Sorry

re : The inbox shows unread emails,

Perhaps you have the view to only show 'unread' emails? This can be enabled by clicking on the 'show only unread messages' icon on the 'Quick Filter Bar' - maybe the cat did this. click on that icon again to show all messages again. The icon looks like a pair of sunglasses on the 'Quick Filter Bar'.

I tried it and it did not work

On the toolbar > View > threads > all

I was already to view all including the threads.

Please provide us with a screenshot. If you need help to create a screenshot, please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.

Thank you!

My son did a work around. We clicked the ignore threads which then showed the hidden messages although it added a red symbol to the left. I did not have the red symbol before, so I am probably not back where I started, but things are working. The missing messages had buried themselves in the threads. Thank you all.
