1. Before doing step 2, check Error Console (ctrl+shift+J) for warnings and errors when the message display has failed

2. right+click affected folder and do Properties > Repair - does the problem go away? Permanently?

Screen shots from the error console attached. The error console does not show anything when I try to display the required message but I will attempt to remove the mentioned nstmp files later.

The repair starts, downloads about 190 messages, then seems to stop on "Downloading message header 1 of 10122 In A WEEKLY INVOICES SENT". I will leave the repair running over the weekend to see if it progresses.

Unfortunately the resolution of the uploaded screen shot is not high enough. Perhaps copy + paste the text?
