The inbox disappeared while I was deleting old emails in inbox. I received message saying exe had moved or been altered and since then I have been unable to restore inbox and messages.

Hi Christ1, Nothing is showing up on the left hand side of my screen. I can write, send and I can access my address book but cannot view any incoming or outgoing mail past or current. Screen shot attached. Tony

Start Thunderbird in safe mode. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird Uninstall Lightning via the Add-Ons Manager. Restart Thunderbird. Re-install Lightning in case it's needed.
