Hi A few of the basics to check are - do you have Threads view on and collapsed, do you have something in the search box, have you accidentally sorted by sender or subject or reverse date order? I hear that you are not very technical, but it would help if you could give some more detail and/or upload a screen shot of your inbox. Thunderbird has many settings and views, it would help if we could see what you are working with. Thanks!

Hi Agnes:

Thanks for getting back to me. I did go into Threads and it said all. Just experimenting, I checked ignore threads and it seemed to resolve the issue. Make sense?

It doesn't to me as previous email missed I don't think had a thread and still didn't appear but they have since disappeared from webmail (did I delete them?) where they were showing.

Thanks

Peter

Hi From what you say, I would doubt that you have used 'ignore' on purpose to hide parts of conversations, but it can happen accidentally. Checking 'ignored' would make visible those hidden conversations. Thunderbird has a number of keyboard shortcuts, and accidental key presses can cause unexpected effects, like press 'k' to hide a thread, or 'a' to move a message to archive. I have done that a bunch of times! Here is a list you can refer to if odd things happen in future. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts Hope that helps, Agnes

Hi Agnes: It proved an easy solution, thanks to you! Very much appreciated! Peter
