Hi there,

I'm having a problem with Thunderbird that suddenly started happening last week. I open it up and everything is fine, minimise the program to do something else and when I go back to it suddenly all emails from the last couple of months are no longer displayed. They will then reappear in the inbox after 5-10 minutes, but without any of the tags I've assigned.

The email account is with Yahoo and is set up as IMAP.

This is extremely infuriating because it is a business email account and I need to keep track of what's been replied to etc. Any hints on what might be causing this to happen would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Yahoo has had problems for several days now, in multiple ways. You will want to contact them.
