About every week or so, whatever messages that might be in the inbox will become blank. The Subject line will show up in the inbox as if the message is there but when you click on the message, there is no content.
Periodically, it will take Thunderbird 3-4 minutes to boot up.
Only inbox messages seem to be affected.
Twice now, messages have consolidated under one message that is in the inbox. You can tell who the message is from (there may be six or 8 different ones) but the message itself is undecipherable. It shows nothing but what I assume to be code or random letters
