Had to power-down to regain control, but the e-mails seem to have vanished entirely. (Not in trash, nor in any other folder.)
Anyone any bright ideas? (Apart from not running Firefox and Thunderbird at the same time...)
No idea why the crash, unless you've got a Firefox or Thunderbird plugin that's a bit badly written.
Getting the emails back - you could backing up the Thunderbird folder (just in case), open thunderbird, Right click on the folder in the folders list on the LHS. Click on Properties. On the General Information tab there is a Repair Folder button. Try that.
After that press OK to close the dialog box. Then I suggest right clicking on the folder and clicking Compact.
That may work, or it may not, good luck!
