I was trying to go back and catch up on reading my messages for the last few weeks and all my inbox messages (except for the very recent ones) would only display an empty body when I clicked on them. Messages in my other folders did not have this problem, only the inbox.

I checked the help on Thunderbird and someone suggested to right click inbox, open properties, and click repair. The answer met with positive results from the question. I did it and ALL my messages have disappeared except for today's! Really? That's a repair?!?

repair is rereading your mail and regenerating the list. No mail merans no list, exactly what you were seeing before a list with no mail.

Look in your anti virus product (Perhaps in quarantine, perhaps in logs for a file called inbox.
