e-mail disappeared right in front of me

| T-Bird 1.5.0.10
I just received a reply to an e-mail I sent an hour ago.
I read it and then scrolled down to check a previous e-mail in my in
box. When I scrolled back up, the reply I had read 12 seconds ago was
gone. Not in junk, trash, anywhere. Sender is in my address book and we
have e-mailed several times. It was a "Breakfast at 10:30 the usual
place" with another comment so I know it was just sent as a reply to my
earlier e-mail.
I'm a relatively experienced user and I'm clueless. Not looking for
what-the-heck-is-the-problem-here. Just curious if this has happened to
anyone else. Weird one.

Try View, Messages, All. Did that work?
If not, then try File, Compact Folders. Did that work?
If not, then do you have message filters turned on? Is the message
going into a certain folder after its read?
Click on the Account Name. Then click on Edit, Find, and Search
Messages, and locate the message in question. Did you find it? If
so, where was it.

"All" is standard setting.

Still same unread numbers and total numbers.

No message filters for inbox. Only in NGs.
Not in Junk mail

Nope. Only have Inbox, Drafts, Templates, Sent, Junk, and Trash. No sub
folders. Real clean account.
Cue Rod Serling intro music.
Great 2 hour late breakfast with friend.

close the program and delete *.msf files from the mail section of the
TB profile. Restart TB. Do things work now?

Everything works just fine except for the one disappearing message. No
other symptoms. No other problems.

I use Mozilla rather than Tbird but I have had something similar
happen to me.
Mozilla is pretty good at being trained for identifying spam but every
now and then it will decide a legit mail is spam and dump it in the
trash. I have to be quick to retrieve it otherwise it gets auto
deleted. I've actually seen it happen, fortunately on a genuine spam
mail.
It's possible that Tbird has decided for some reason that the mail in
question was spam and auto deleted it whilst your attention was
elsewhere.

I've never met a piece of Software that hasn't occassionally hiccupped
for no explainable reason. T-bird has done real well. Maybe because I
ask very little of it. Basic junk mail controls and no filtering of
e-mail. No extra folders or subfolders. Got the e-mail, looked at it,
looked at another one real quick, went back to the "poofed" one, looked
for it in junk or trash or any folder. All in literally maybe 30/40
seconds. And I know I wasn't hallucinating cause it was a confirmation
from a friend that yes breakfast was on, and a great late breakfast it was.
