I had thunderbird do something similar once - look in ~/.mozilla or wherever mozilla keeps the mailbox files and see if the old inbox is still there - if so, you should be able to copy the affected mailbox somewhere and repair it, or extract the messages from it.
This evening, I started Mozilla 1.7.12 under Fedora Core 4 and
immediately clicked Window, Mail and Newsgroups to start Mozilla Mail
just as I always did. It started up and then did something new to me:
the Inbox viewers (both right-side panes) didn't fill up with a list of
old emails as usual, and instead stayed blank. The hourglass stayed on
for a while, about 60 seconds. Suddenly, ever email I have in the inbox
between 02/22/2006 and now is trashed!
Only Inbox seems to be affected. The other folders seem okay.
I admit I had over 5000 emails in Inbox.
Is this a known issue? What's the fix for it if so?
Thanks
