When I open a message in Thunderbird, I sometimes get the message content of the preceding message.

When I open a message in Thunderbird, I sometimes get the message content of the preceding message.
This means that the whole content of the message is replaced by the content of the preceding message. I cannot see the message and have to ask the sender to send it again. Why is this, is my mail system overloaded or what?

This usually indicates folder corruption.
Right click the problem folder and select Properties. Then Repair Folder.
Be prepared to lose messages if the corruption is too bad. It might be a good idea to move any messages that you want to keep to a new folder. Make folders under Local Folders to sort your keeper emails into. It is a good idea not to keep lots of mail in the Inbox anyway as you will see when you read the attached article.
Read this article about maintaining your system to help prevent this in the future.
