Thanks a lot George! Compacting worked for me :-)

Hello,
This bug is related to the size of your Inbox.
I found some option to recreate the index and it fixed the problem
partially.
Later I used right-click over Inbox icon and select "compact" option.

So at this time, the old emails where removed and real size of Inbox
reduced.

This worked for me.

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: thunderbird

Inbox is not slow or any other strange behavior, but since yesterday my new emails has very strange behavior.
New emails look empty or a lot of nonsense block of letter and numbers, or even they refer to very old messages.

I have more than 4.000 emails in my inbox and the Inbox file size is 2156435914 bytes, I tried to delete old messages (more than 200), but the problem still happening with all new messages since yesterday

I try to check the email source for each message and got some clue:
Three messages before the error started have the following "number"
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=2146731143
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=2146784062
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=2146812640

Starting from the error message, they have the following "number":
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=157864
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=257330
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=346558
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=346558

I will try to delete more emails because I think my problem is the size of the Inbox.

Please, give me some idea to fix this problem.
