Thunderbird 68.9.0 (64-Bit) shows numbers of messages in junk folders but no messages in them

more options

Thunderbird 68.9.0 (64-Bit) shows numbers of messages in junk folders, e.g. Junk(2), but no messages in them are shown although no filter option is set. In the main window it says:

"keine passenden Nachrichten"

and the same message is shown in addition to the left of the filter input field, which is empty and shows in light grey: "Diese Nachrichten durchsuchen <Strg+Umschalt+K>". The global filter input field is also empty showing in in light grey: "Suchen <Strg+K>".

There must be messages in the junk file but I can't see who these messages (allegedly) come from: when I empty the junk folder, their number goes back to zero rising again after more spam messages come in.

In general before emptying the spam folder, I display the list of messages in them sorted by their claimed senders and then I delete them alltogether unless I happen to see one sender among them whom I know.

I suspect that this is related to the amount of memory used by received and sent emails. I am using my accounts in the POP3 fashion and I have an almost complete history of received/sent emails in it?

How can I check how much space they use? What is the upper limit? Are the numbers of emails limiting or the storage space occupied by them in sum? What is the right strategy to follow if one does not want to delete old E-mails but rather wants to be able to display them later?
