Inbox disappears when I compose email message

Frequently when I am composing several emails simultaneously, the TB display with the inbox disappears. Then I have to save all the messages as drafts and close them, then quit TB, then open it again. Is there a way to solve this problem? Thanks.

This is the problem: there is no screenshot available to post. The emails I am composing are there, but the box that contains the inbox/trash/drafts/archives, etc. has disappeared.

the box that contains the inbox/trash/drafts/archives, etc. has disappeared.

I don't really understand what that means. What box are you talking about?
There is a main Thunderbird window (as opposed to a Write window) with a folder pane, and the folder pane has any of inbox/trash/drafts/archives, etc.

Are you sure the main windows is not getting minized to the system tray or taskbar?
