As title says. about 1/5 times, the message (e-mail) is just gone. Nowhere to be found. Not in Deleted folder. Only way I can access this e-mail is logging into hotmail.com (because I have a hotmail account), then I find it in the junk folder. So it’s not gone from the server, just gone in Thunderbird.

Restarting Thunderbird has no effect.

Has anyone the same experience? Should I submit this as a bug?

    Right click on the account name. The folder above the Inbox folder in bold. Click ‘Subscribe…’. Make sure the right account is selected at the top then hit ‘Refresh’ on the right side. Now you see a list of all the folders exist at the server and only when a tick is in front of it it will be shown locally. If a folder is unchecked select it and choose subscribe. Maybe the message is in a folder Thunderbird wasn’t subscribed to.

    Sometimes Thunderbird has a separate Junk folder besides the server one.

      right I see. Apparently I am subscribed to all online folders. Considering it only happens SOMETIMES, this seems to perhaps allude more to a bug I’d say. Any other possibilities? I’m just unlucky?
