Mike - yes, you are right. I have Thousands. And, its been QUITE a while since I last did a cleanup of e-mail. I should Google about the Index. But, upon deleting messages at times - it asks me about Compacting things - and it Has run the Compact several times recently. So - yeah, the Index thing is probably what I need to do. Will have to try it tonite - when I am on the train ride back to my place...

Tbird can do this if it gets too many messages in the inbox...like thousands. If you google it there is a procedure where you delete, essentially, the index file that Tbird uses to make data access faster. After a restart of Tbird, the index file is rebuilt and all your messages will appear. You can also try right-clicking on the folder and selecting "compact" from the pop-up. Best advice for Tbird is that the fewer messages you have in your inbox, the better. On the other hand, I know a client who has 8,000 to 10,000 messages in his inbox all the time. Of course, he has this "disappearing" problem from time to time also.
