Here's an odd question which I've searched many forums and haven't seen a good answer, although the question has been asked a few times. In Thunderbird on Linux Mint 17, I have a huge email archive that might be slightly corrupted or suffer from formatting problems. Often when I copy messages to a new folder, the folder ends up with one or more "unread" messages with blank subject line and sometimes a date in the distant past, to fix this I use the "Repair Folder" in the folder's Properties then the messages appear as I expect.
I have a large number of folders which organize various volunteer activities, friends and relatives, saved humor, employment-related, etc. The email archive has been transferred from Windows, to Mac, to Windows, to Linux... I forget what all. Some of the messages were received online or in another app ([cough]Outlook[cough]) before I transferred them to TB. I imagine that the folders/files have gotten quite beat up in all this time, maybe there's corruption or file formatting problems. Does anyone know of a way to make TB re-save them all, not just new copies but filtering them through the latest TB so that they are saved as they would be if new messages/folders without retaining any old formatting? I want to shake this corruption/formatting problem, since it comes up often enough now that it is a big nuisance.
