The imfamous disappearing email(s)

more options

A specific email thread has disappeared from both my inbox and sent folders. I was in the process of writing a reply to the sender, my hand twitched (this happens from time to time) and I must have triggered TBird to glitch somehow. Next thing I know, the whole thread is gone. I can still access it by logging in to the organization's Outlook client directly.

I did a search for the email in TBird and the results indicate it can be found in both the Inbox and Sent folders (it's not), and it doesn't show up in the message list pane. I can access it by clicking on one of the search results, and I can reply to it from there. I have closed and restarted TBird with no change to this issue. This makes me wonder if my twitchy hand caused it to become "hidden" somehow.

Any ideas to help fix this would be appreciated!

UPDATE: This particular email had about a dozen incoming and sent replies. Interestingly, I just noticed that three of the replies DO show up in the Sent folder, just not the first and last several. They weren't there a while ago. Am I being teased by the ethernet gremlins to believe the rest will eventually re-materialize?

Helpful?
