ნუ გაებმებით თაღლითების მახეში. აქ არავინ უნდა მოგთხოვოთ ტელეფონზე დარეკვა, შეტყობინების გაგზავნა ან პირადი მონაცემების გაზიარება. რამე საეჭვოს შემჩნევისას გთხოვთ გვაცნობოთ „დარღვევის მოხსენებით“.

I use Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit) on Linux and have a mailbox file that got damaged subsequent to a folder repair attempt.

The mailbox file size report approximately 2,4gb and should contain approximately 853 individual messages, but when importing the file into the Local Folders only 5 messages are displayed.

I tried the following recovery methods to no avail: 1) Using the "Repair Folder" function in Thunderbird. 2) Importing the damaged mailbox file into Apple Mail. 3) Importing the damaged mailbox file into a clean Linux build with Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit). 4) Importing the damaged mailbox file into a clean Microsoft Windows 10 build using Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit). 5) Using "mbox2eml" in effort to convert the messages to EML format and then importing the result into a new Local Folder. 6) Using "cutmbox" to split the damaged mailbox file into smaller portions and importing the result into a new Local Folder.

Any and all advice shall be greatly appreciated!

Not that I expect that to work either, but something you don't seem to have tried is the ImportExportTools add-on:

@DavidGG:

Thank for responding and note that I neglected to mention in my original post that ImportExport Tools NG was the absolute first utility applied in effort to recover the damaged mailbox, sadly to no avail.

All the best!
