The nature of the bug seems to have changed slight in  tbird 2.0.0.18.
Now I find that instead of random old messages being unavailable,
every message older than a certain date becomes unavailable when
offline. As before, when I look in my thunderbird profile with a text
editor (or another mail reader such as alpine), I can see that the
message has been downloaded, but thunderbird claims it can't find it.
I'm pretty sure this is not the same bug as #223241

I don't know what additional information I can give on recreating it.
I simply use thunderbird to access my gmail 'All Mail' folder. This is
a very large folder (2 GB), which I think is important - I don't see
this problem with small folders. I have it marked for offline use.
When I go offline (after downloading the folder) thunderbird claims
that many old messages have not been downloaded for offline use,
though they clearly have.

thanks for looking into this,

Cormac.
