I have lost all files in inbox 2 times. On a new system with Win 8.1

At startup, system goes into "disk repair" for a few minutes then boots normally.
The only thing that appears to be missing is files in thunderbird inbox.
System is a Lenovo k450e. It first happened in September about 3 weeks after
migrating email to the new system. Then happened again today. (11/7) Lenovo tech
support was no help. They suggested reinstalling thunderbird. They thought
I might have an "incompatable" version.
I am running the latest Ver ( 31.2.0) . I have 3 email accounts set up. Yesterday, I did delete a bunch of files from the Inbox on one of the IDs. On Both occasions the inboxes of the 2 active accounts were lost. The inbox on the inactive account appears ok. That account has not received any messages on this system. Also, I have never performed the "file compression"
or what ever it is called in thunderbird on this system...
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks. I will try this. My previous machine was running Vista and I
rarely compacted folders. NEVER had a problem. Apparently
Win 8.1 is more sensitive to this.

  • I have lost all my documents and previous downloads after syncing mac with my ipad4. Is there a way to retrieve the lost data. I have backed up my laptop on the icloud

    I have lost all my documents and downloads after syncing my macpro with the Ipad4. I do backup my devices on the icloud can I retrieve the lost documents?

    You lost them from the iPad, or from the Mac(Book) Pro?
    If you lost them from the iPad, yes, you can restore your last backup from iCloud. Settings - iCloud - Backup - Restore.
    Note that you can always re-download apps from the App Store, and music from the iTunes Store, for free, if they are accidentally deleted.

  • Hi apple user. I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Tried hold home button with sleep button but it doesn't get back my safari bookmarks. I also have reset without erasing my iPad data but still doesn't work. Help me get back my safari iPad bookmarks.

    Hi, I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Have tried reset without erasing data and hold home and sleep button together but when go to safari all safari bookmarks still lost. Is there any case help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks ? Currently my safari is hanged, can't surf webs or anything. I saw the safari tab on iCloud is on, but I don't know using iCloud. Please help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks. I have contact Apple but could not set chat session. I have my Apple ID registered same with iCloud, also same during the time I have all iPad safari bookmarks lost. My iPad never synced on computer since I bought it with set at local store. Please help me get my iPad safari bookmarks back, thanks.

    Hi, I quitted Safari and press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously unti the Ipad turn off and on with the logo Apple appears but it has hanged on and fixed to the point. I do it again hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously and the Ipad turn off and on again with the Apple logo but it still is hanged on the same point. I have do it a few more time, it still hanged to the same point for few hours with no change (like picture):
    I think my Ipad is fault now. I guess I must connect it to the computer with itune, or something. So my case is this: at the moment everytime I hold the Home and Sleep buttons the Ipad always off and reappear with the Apple logo and be hanged on (like the pic), and I need restoring my Ipad Safari bookmarks... so I guess I need using Itune or something to get back the Ipad then using Icloud or blah. Please guide me for the step, Im not sure if connect to PC, if any that my Ipad data would lost, or is there anyway that I also can get back Ipad Safari Bookmarks after connecting to PC, also the how using Icloud. There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

  • Whilst restoring IPod 4gen, restored to new iPod instead of restoring to named iPod - now have lost all files, photos - how can I restore the named account?

    Restoring iPod and restored to new iPod instead of named iPod - have now lost all photos etc, as iPod account deleted by the looks of it - how do I get it back??

    Restore from backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    If you restore from iTunes backup you iTunes purchases have to be in the iTunes library. You can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Netiehr the iTunes nor iClouod backup included non-iTunes purchases.

  • HELP!! I have lost all of my Inbox messages......

    I hope someone can help me out here. I have been playing around with Parrallels and Win XP. I installed the Beta version of Office 7, and set up Outlook. Outlook set up my mail.mac.com account as a POP, and all of my messages have disappeared from both Mail on my MBP, and also on the .Mac server. All of the messages are now in the inbox of Outlook. Is there anyway I can change/reverse this? I have deleted my Mac mail account from Outlook so that it would stop "stealing" my email. I tried to do a rebuild on my Mac mail, but still no luck. I would like to get all of the messages back onto the Mac mail account. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Also, if this is of any help, I checked my <home>/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder, and there is no messages under the inbox folder. The other 3 accounts I have set up (2 earthlink POP and 1 Mac mail) are there, with the messages in the Inbox folders.

  • TS4062 I have lost all my album artwork on my iPad while syncing with pc??

    All my album artwork has gone....please help

    iTunes uses information in the ID3 tags when organizing the library. If the artist tag is blank then the files are classified as unknown when iTunes is arranging library.
    That bit if info will not help you though. The default setting for iTunes is to copy your files into the iTunes folder and arrange into folders this way artist>album>track. There may be a folder for compilation albums that will be compilation>album>track. There will be separate folders for podcasts, movies, and tv shows also, with subfolders as needed.
    You can turn off the option for iTunes to copy files to iTunes folder. When this is done files are left where they are.
    As for undoing changes, you will have to do that yourself. IF you had iTunes set to copy then your original files and arrangement should still be there.

    If you have non-itunes music on your computer still, you should have no problem relocating them and reuploading to itunes.

  • New OS 5 on my Iphone 4 but have lost all my pictures, need to retreive them.

    I did an upgrade on my Iphone 4 to the new OS 5 but have lost all of my pictures that had not been sync with the computer yet. Is there a way to retreive them ?

    It doesn't do that by itself. You have to manually initiate a restore.
    If you weren't backing up to iCloud and you didn't have Photo Stream on so the photos could upload to the cloud, they're gone. You can't recover them.

    Connect phone to computer.
    Select Restore.
    Tell iTunes which of the available backup files to use, let iTunes restore it.
    Also, try reading the User's Guide as it answers questions like this.

    Try a hard reset:- hold the home button AND the power switch - ignore the red "Slide to power off" and wait ubntil the iPhone powers down, and then restarts - at the Apple logo, release all the buttons and see if your contacts reappear.

  • My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages.  Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
