The emails in my inbox become invisible when the cursor highlights them. They aren't deleted, I can see them when I click the Inbox again. I can also see the emails in an All Mail folder, just not in the inbox. I'm running current Thunderbird on Mac OSX. I may try copying them to another folder, but another forum member with the same problem tried this without success. I may also try Safe mode, but others haven't had success with that either. Any thoughts about fixing this? I

To follow up, I tried "Reset columns to Default" which helped another user, but no success. The emails turn invisible when the cursor highlights them and stay invisible.

Maybe re-install Thunderbird?

Is there a theme installed?

Hold the shift key while starting Thunderbird and continue in safe mode when prompted.
