Are you keeping all message in the inbox? Any message filters? Is
adaptive Junk Mail Control enabled?

I do not understand what you mean by 'and appear normally once moved out
of the Inbox'?

Reinstalling Thunderbird does not solve this or any other problem with
your data, contained in your Tb user profile.

I keep an empty inbox, the only messages in there are ones that are
waiting to be read.
I use one filter, to move messages from a specific mailing list
directly to another folder.
Adaptive junk mail control is enabled.

What I meant was that if I use Outlook to move a message out of the
inbox and into another folder, if I then access that folder in
Thunderbird all messages appear as normal.

Fine. About the server settings: I would advise to check/set 'when I
delete a message' to 'mark it as deleted'.
You'll have to clean-up the inbox, and consequently remove the
message(s) from the server, by compacting it.

Note: a move from is handled las a delete from the Inbox.
