I tried to look at my e-mails and I noticed at 10.2-11.7 all e-mails are indexed but without content - no text no attachment (or attachment index is present but it points and opens another attachment). From time to time I compress e-mails and there was a moment Thunderbird crashed (it seems on 10.2).

Any knowledge about such trouble. Best regards.

I'm not sure what exactly your question is. If the messages are gone you can rebuild the global database, so that those messages won't show up in search results anymore. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/rebuilding-global-database

Thank you for the response. I wanted to, well, get back the messages - their content. I want to rebuild the global database and that I save these messages and that index is well pointed. For the moment I only have index without content - blank window for message... Best regards! K.

Check this article for clues why your messages got lost. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Disappearing_mail

Beyond that your best bet would be to restore the lost messages from a backup. Did you create a backup of your Thunderbird profile folder prior to the incident?
