Hi T_Bird_51, If I understand correctly, after Thunderbird froze retrieving messages, your inbox is full of duplicate messages and you cannot retrieve messages.

First let's try something simple.

  1. Right-click on your Inbox and select Properties.
  2. Click on Repair Folder.

If the problem still occurs, we'll need some more info about your Thunderbird setup.

  1. Go to [=] > Help > Troubleshooting Information then click Copy text to Clipboard.
  2. Go to https://pastebin.mozilla.org/ and go to Edit > Paste to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page.
  3. In Firefox, click on the three dots to the right of the address, and select Copy Link.
  4. Open a reply to this post, and go to Edit > Paste to paste the link to your troubleshooting information.
