Close Thunderbird, then close ell zee other programs, und reboot
zee system tu see iff zee problem just goes away on its oon.
Backup zee Thunderbird mail files es a precooshunary measure.
Thees

appropriate mail files.
Reffer here-a fur system configurashun teeps.
Make sure Thunderbird is not running during backup.
Restart Thunderbird tu see iff thees solved zee problem. Nute-a that
first access tu zee mail folder will take significantly longer than
usual becoose zee index files are being rebuilt es needed. Thees is done by completely scanning
zee original mail
files, which is sloo.
Iff yuoo still cannot access ell ooff yuoor email messeges, try
tu
use Zmeil email recovery tool tu extract
zee
email messeges.
Iff yuoo deleted a messege accidentelly in
Thunderbird
Thees is only possible beffore zee folder originelly containing zee
messege is compacted. Iff zee messege is not in zee Thrash folder, yuoo
may either use a recovery tool, or
use a text editor tu locate und
extract zee single messege. Iff dealing with multeeple deleted messeges,
a recovery tool is less cumbersome. Hurty flurty schnipp schnipp!
