As you can see in attached image, the subject (date and sender) in the emails list is the just-received email i was waiting for... but the contents is one another old email (from Paypal) in another local folder ! When I open the email in a new thunderbird's tab , same thing. I deleted the amil, from deletede folder list the subject is still correct but the contents is bad. I restore the email in my main inbox and then the subject is the old's email subject : i lost completly the new email that I just received....

What a weird behavior ?

That is a serious mistake!

There is another bug i saw since a few years ; ghost lines in some folder email lists without any subject, and a received-date from 01/01/1970 !!!

Unfortunately, this happens on occasion. The normal 'fix' is to right-click on the folder and click properties and then repair.

It's not acceptable ! Especially if you lose an important email.

I am seriously thinking about changing email software. Knowing many issues related to this one.

I have the same problem. Content from another email is displayed. I sent the wrong email once when I was forwarding! It's unacceptable. How do I fix it so it doesn't happen again? Thunderbird on macOS (M1).
