Hello, I have seen similar reports on that issue here and elsewhere. What surprises me is that if I right click on the sent folder and select properties, it still gives me the right number of messages in that folder.

In fact, If I go to ~/.thunderbird/my_profile.default/Mail/pop.gmail-2.com/Sent.sbd/2023 and open that file with whatever text editor, file 2023 contains all messages sent. I have tried repairing that file, then restarting TB to no avail. Is there a workaround ?

Solved. I deleted the 2023.msf file, restarted TB and recovered everything.

I would guess that clicking where the messages should have been in the list would have displayed them as well.

It is usually that the column headings on the lists are lost, do no data is actually displayed as there is no column for it.
