Thunderbird Help
 

I'm not sure who, if anyone here has made the jump from anything to Thunderbird...but tonight, I had a system dump that corrupted my folder files, and I've lost ALL of my stored mail and addresses.

Does anyone know how to recover that?

Thanks.

If you have backups, this directory contains all of your mail and profiles:

C:\Documents and Settings\kellie\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles

(where "kellie" is whatever you log in as)

Before proceeding, save everything in that directory to a backup directory. Somewhere in there is a folder "Mail", and then a folder according to your mail server name, and that's where all the mail is saved. You can try to rebuild individual mailbox indexes by deleting files with a ".msf" extension.

Also, you may want to just reboot first if you haven't. Sometimes T-bird will leave a copy of itself running, which confuses the second copy of it when it goes to read everything.
