I realize that talking about specifics of Thunderbird is a bit off topic, but I've been using it for a while and basically like it except for one fairly major problem. Every once in a while it deletes many files in my in-box. I've asked about this on the Thunderbird web site and haven't been able to resolve it, plus I've seen other people posting with the same issue.
I vaguely recall this happening to me once and, IIRC, I immediately assumed it had something to do with the "Clean up (Expunge) Inbox on exit" setting in the account settings (Server Settings tab), which I turned off and which seemed to fix the problem for me. However, this might not be causing your problem for several reasons, but it may be worth playing with. I think this setting is only required if you've set to mark messages as deleted only rather than move to trash or delete immediately. I have seen at least one web page that advises to make sure this is turned off if you aren't marking messages for deletion. I assume they had some reason for making that point. Good luck.
