April 1 I manually emptied the Thunderbird trash bin on my laptop. A pop-up advised me to compat my folders, so I did. Since that moment Thunderbird doesn't display any new e-mail. As I have a desktop with Thunderbird, too, I can receive new e-mails, but I like to use my laptop. What have I done wrong to make TB no more displaying new e-mails?

Have you told Thunderbird on the desktop to leave messages on the server? This is an option in your Account Settings.

right click the inbox, select properties and then the repair button. It may be something caused a bad index to be written on the compact and now it just updates rubbish.
