Do not download any Beta Version of softwares!

The new 3.5.2 Beta testing program had ruined my inbox, better not to download any Beta softwares. They just need Guiafna pigs to test out the bugs, it is not fun at all. Downloaded older version 2 didn't fix the problem. If it needed to deal with import files from previous version, it is time consuming. Same happened to Opera's new Beta version. Do not download any of the Beta, not stable yet. Anybody can help me to fix my inbox? Not only the new emails was hidden, could not even read the new emails. Sucks!
I hate Thunderbird and Opera to release the Beta before debugging all the problems. Fortunately older version of Opera fixed the problem but not Thunderbird version 2. My inbox is still down, could not read old or new email. Sucks!
 
sad I’m so mad at Thunderbird!

    I'm sorry, but beta versions are explicitly testing releases. I have trouble feeling bad for you here, you should have realized what you were getting into. Thunderbird 2 doesn't use SQLite for indexes, but Thunderbird 3 does, making it impossible to downgrade.

    In short, beta is beta, and you should have known what you were getting into. Same for Opera's beta. It's a beta! It has bugs! That's why it's not officially out yet!

    I was busy working on my laptop, the small icon pop up to ask if I needed the new Thunderbird upgrade. Didn't read it was a beta version. Upgrading adobe, microsoft softwares all the time. But this is not that I went to search for a beta, it was just disguised as a regular update notice? What can you do when you were busy, so I accepted the updates. Next time, remember, do not accept offered updates from Opera or Thunderbird. Deal with them when you are not busy.

    I'd tried to find any tech supports from their website, none is available. They sending to forum or chat rooms, it is so time consuming. My inbox had been "empty" for 2 days, you can still hear the sound notice of new email arrival. But not displaying in your inbox. It is somewhere in the program, but where? Sux! Some idiots set nasty traps to get negative attention? All sub-folders kept all the messages, thank God for that. But the main inbox, no way to find old nor the new emails. This is not April Fool, I would like to send an e-bomb to mozilla to see if anybody would reply and help to solve the stupid problem they had created. Stupid, Stupid! Maybe because my laptop has Vista? How about other operating system? If only Vista had the problem, then it is micro soft. They offer a free upgrade to their new operation system for all computers with vista. But didn't disclose how to get such upgrade, funny! Give you a hope like a bait, but no where to get the new softwares.
