I've been playing with this - if I load in safe mode with no add-ons, 
all emails reappear. I've tried disabling each add-on in turn (there are 
only three) but the problem remains. If I load in safe mode but tell 
tbird to always load without add-ons, the problem remains.

So at the moment I'm running tbird, and then choosing Help > Restart 
without add-ons.
Any advice?
TIA
