thunderbird profile reclaim

can'tfind1 · 10-13-2008, 08:24 PM

Hello everyone.

I will cut to the chase, so to speak.
A while ago Thunderbird lost my profile info, I was able to locate in explorer and copy to my desktop (for easy of locating again).

Now I have been able to redo a new account using Thunderbird and retrieved my address book. My dilemma now is that I am unable to figure out how to re install the rest of my profile ie. mail sent etc etc.

the file i saved to my desktop has 2.93gigs of info I desperately need back.

I do appreciate any assistance with this most

issue.

Thanks all,

Dean
