I have lost all email messages and folders in Mozilla Thunderbird. Where can I look for them? My system is Windows XP.



I have looked in the Thunderbird Profiles default profile folder. I can see Inbox and Trash but none of the other folders I have set up are visible.



I cannot directly open Inbox or Trash so I don't know if my lost messages are in these folders. Is there someone in this community who can help?

          The location of the folder can be found by following the instructions on this link.




          On Windows:



          Select Run... from the Start menu.



          Type "%appdata%" (without the quotes).



          Hit Return. Open the Thunderbird
          folder. Go to the Profiles folder.



          Now
          open the folder of your Mozilla
          Thunderbird profile (probably
          "********.default" where the '*'s
          stand for random characters) and the
          folder beneath it.




          As an aside, it's possible over the years that you may have more than one profile folder, so it's worth having a look for other locations in the general vicinity.



          As for file types, the extension for Thunderbird mail is .msf, with a coinciding file name without an extension that stores the actual data.



          You will not be able to view the data by double-clicking on the file, due to the way the data is stored.
