I have an entire folder (and sub-folders) of e-mails that got zapped away. If I search for the e-mails, they appear in the search, but are no where to be found.

I saw on one forum where executing a check disk may re-index the folders, but I'm not sure if that is the problem I have, nor how to execute a check disk. Thanks for any help available!

You can get in this state of antivirus or OS/disk failure zapped your mail folders. If your mail accounts are imap you can "recover". If it is an imap account, remove the account in thunderbird and add it back
