I found the solution to this problem of mine. Anyone who has the same
problem can fix it this way:
1)Locate a file called localstore.rdf(In Win2K/XP, it'll be somewhere
under C:\Documents and Settings\Application
Data\Mozilla\Profiles\default\...)
2)Open it and ensure that this statement exists(The height is up to you):
<RDF:Description
about="chrome://messenger/content/messenger.xul#sidebar-panels-splitter-box"
hidden="false" height="290" />
3)Save the file. Then, open Mozilla Mail and open up the Sidebar if it
isn't already showing.
4)Exit Mozilla Mail and all should be fine.
Hope this helps!
