We noted that the text (and attachs) of our received messages disappeared of messages before March, 2014. What could be happened? And how to see again the text (and attachs)? Thanks

Look in your anti virus program in it's logs etc for a file called inbox being deleted or quarantined for some reason. I would suggest looking around the date the problem manifested itself.

Right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button. That will rebuild the index of mail in the folder.

Matt, really the folder was in the quarantine of Norton Antivirus, and I succeeded in restore it to the folder of Thunderbird, and replace the empty folder. Thanks, Wagner
