My Thunderbird was no longer able to compact my Inbox in my local folder. I tried clicking repair the Inbox... to my horror all my current emails went missing and now I am looking at emails from 2010 - 2017. Weirdly when I clicked get mail it loaded only current emails that I had not downloaded prior to the repair. I am on a mac and am using a pop3 account. Can I recover the current emails, some of which only lived in my Thunderbird Inbox as they had been manually removed from the server?

Thank you, Julie jul@creative-zoo.com

Perhaps the list disappeared, but nothing that existed was lost. Repair rebuilds the index into the stored messages. If repair removed mails from the list they were not in the file stored in a manner that could be recognized.

That compact was failing would indicate either file contention issues of a corruption of the physical message store. Quite possibly due to an aging or failing hard disk. (New disk can fail)

I have never played with apple products and know basically nothing specific about them. Best I can suggest is use the disk utility to confirm the integrity of the disk before moving on. https://support.apple.com/en-au/guide/mac-help/mchlp2548/mac
