After updating to the latest Thunderbird I checked my emails and closed the program - but not from the inbox. Now, T'bird insists on opening into that same screen and there is no link to to show my inbox. I have removed and re-installed T'bird with no result. I have tried approximately 15 'sure' fixes from the internet and Mozilla but without success. Finally I read that the new version will open the screen which you were last using at shutdown, but there is no link to open the inbox. There is no link to the inbox on the left side of screen nor a down caret on the right hand side of screen. I have no folders showing, such as "Inbox", "Drafts", "Sent" or 'Local Folder'. I have referred to the Mozilla list of shortcuts without success. My inbox is not empty F5 and Shift + F5 do nothing. The email address for my PC is: albanv@netspace.net.au How can I show my inbox?

Thunderbird has a tabbed interface, just like Firefox. Do you even close those tabs? Right click a tab on the tab bar and select close other tabs. Having many tabs open only consumes resources unnecessarily and can in extreme cases make Thunderbird unstable.

Now to your loss of the folder pane. Right click the tab bar and select "menu bar" this will turn on the top menu in Thunderbird. From the view menu, select layout and ensure the folder pane is "checked"
