I moved a large number of emails from "Inbox" to Local Folders" "Inbox" within Thunderbird. In the local folders inbox the only info. displayed is date/time. If I double click an email it is blank. How can I get these emails to display properly? This has always worked in the past. What went wrong? I see advice to not move a large number of emails at one time. This was about 100 emails. Thanks for any ideas.

If I want to move quite a few emails eg: 100 from an imap mail account folder to an account outside of imap account eg: 'Local Folders' mail account, then I usually follow this proceedure.

Synchronise folders for offline use to ensure I had full up to date copies stored in my profile and not just headers. Then in 'Offline' mode - I do not want any synchronising of that folder whilst I'm using it - I use the 'Copy' not 'Move' method. If I copy and things go wrong, then the original is still in the original folder. Once all emails are ok in 'Local Folders' - I test by viewing a few random emails. I've always found all is ok by this method.

Then I can delete the ones in imap folder. Go back to online mode and server gets updated.

Thanks for your great reply. I think I better understand what went wrong AND how to proceed.
