Since Mozilla Thunderbird updated to Version 38 I have had problems as
Jean did.

When I am Writing a Text Only message I often get a Popup telling me
it had problems, and I have to click an OK button to continue on.

Last November I chose to Compact TB and it wiped out every message that was
in the InBox.

I looked at TB Help for a solution but after I tried doing what Mozilla
suggested I still couldn't find those old InBox messages.

The funny thing about it is the messges that had been in my InBox where I
had made SubDirectories from the InBox to store them in, all were there
untouched from the compacting, still in each of the SubDirectories I made.

I hadn't made a Backup for several months prior to November 2015.
Ditto for MozBackup, Thanks Tom for suggesting MozBackup to me Long Time Ago.

So I suppose the several thousand Email messages are gone because I don't
keep them on the Server.

Another thing I'm seeing and I think it started before version 38 is if I
have read a Email and scroll the message window up or down to see a message
that isn't in view, if I pause a short time while scrolling, the message
window Pops back to the Underlined message that I had last read.

Anybody seeing things like I am seeing here? Thanks!
