Yep.
the email appears empty
that one, too
and TB seems to enter in an infinite loop saying it is downloading the message
that one in two cases:
after I hit the memory limit in Dovecot causing it to crash and Thunderbird happily continues forever to wait for a response.
thunderbird opened too many simultaneous connections to the server. I do not remember where they would blocked or terminated, but in some cases thunderbird did not seem to detect this failure
After doing that all emails re-appear normally and attachements are readable/downloadable again.
In my case the local cache was broken, so any action to rebuilt it was helpful:
- delete the local mbox-cache file
- hit the "Reindex" button of the folder properties of newer versions of Thunderbird
