Thunderbird has only preview but missing actual message

Hi, I downloaded messages from an university account to a local folder created in Thunderbird. After doing so, I deleted the online messages to make room for more messages, since the university account has very limited space. However, the donwnloaded messages are only visible in preview mode, with a short truncated text. If I click on them it shows a blank message, and attachements are missing too. I already did this before and it worked well. Any idea what was wrong this time? Is there still any way to fix those messages (they are not available online anymore)? Thanks!
