[Bug 430457] [NEW] New emails has problems but old emails are working

[George Silva]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: thunderbird

Inbox is not slow or any other strange behavior, but since yesterday my new emails has very strange behavior.
New emails look empty or a lot of nonsense block of letter and numbers, or even they refer to very old messages.

I have more than 4.000 emails in my inbox and the Inbox file size is
2156435914 bytes, I tried to delete old messages (more than 200), but
the problem still happening with all new messages since yesterday

I try to check the email source for each message and got some clue:
Three messages before the error started have the following "number"
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=2146731143
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=2146784062
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=2146812640

Starting from the error message, they have the following "number":
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=157864
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=257330
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=346558
- Source of: mailbox:///home/ghsilva/.mozilla-thunderbird/Profiles/w0hzxyqu.default/Mail/Local%20Folders/Inbox?number=346558

I will try to delete more emails because I think my problem is the size
of the Inbox.

Please, give me some idea to fix this problem.
