For the last few months, every day my Thunderbird inbox has emails (from yahoo servers) that have the wrong content. e.g. the email sender is shown as realestate.com.au at 7.54pm, however the content is a repeat from the Rivers email at 7.29pm. The only way I can access the realestate.com.au content is to log into yahoo webmail direct, and then forward it to myself if the content is something that I want to keep. How can I fix this??

The email from realestate.com.au at 7.53 downloaded with no content. The Rivers email at 7.29pm downloaded with the correct content. The Women's Health and ABC News emails downloaded correctly.

Further to above, I also get this error message every time I open Thunderbird. I'm not sure now whether the two problems began at the same time, but both have been occurring for the last few months.

OS is Win 7.

Hold shift key when you start Thunderbird and see if you still see the error message. Continue in safe mode when prompted.

Once it Thunderbird right click the folder, select properties and then the repair button.
