Thunderbird Profile Help

ots3go · 2 Jan 2008 at 19:50

So, Thunderbird has decided to clear down all my folders and accounts.

However, inside the profile there still seems to be all the mail folders.

Is it possible to restore the accounts / inboxs or will I have to go about recreating each one?

Thunderbird is still using the same profile as before, just not seeing the accounts.

Cheers.

What email accounts are they? IMAP or POP3?

If IMAP then I think Thunderbird makes the folder on the email server for you so a new Thunderbird profile shouldn't give you many problems as when you set the account back up again, it'll just download the folders again.

Using Pop3 unfortunately

Hmm. So the profile is still there and the folder information is still within the profile? Sounds like a borked profile to me. And that means a new profile. And that means the folders will probably be lost due to POP3.

It's what I assumed

.

Just reset them up using IMAP this time.

Cheers for the help MarcLister.
