When I reinstall thunderbird after refreshing my windows 8.1 laptop, how can I retrieve my messages that were on the PC?

I have done this and my email messages disappeared. I would like to get them back.

This is where the Thunderbird Profile folder should be located.
* C:\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
If you have reinstalled thunderbird, then this will be where any new Profile will be stored and where the old one should be located if the refresh did not remove it.
Maybe the old one can be located here; worth looking just in case.
* C:Windows.old\Users\Windows user name\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\Profile name\
These would be hidden folders so you will need to make hidden files and folders visible.

  • HT201365 I have 2 email accounts in my phone.  After upgrading when I open email, both accounts are combined under "All Inboxes".How can I seperate them like they were before the upgrade.

    I have 2 email accounts in my phone.  A gmail acct and an Outlook acct.  After upgrading to 7 there is only 1 inbox and it is titled "All Inboxes".  This has combined both email accts into one list.  How do I seperate the inboxes and be able to open each account seperate?

    In Mail app, on the upper left side you will see  <Mailboxes Click on that and you can select individual email acounts or choose to have them all in one.

  • How can I retrieve email folders that were deleted in Thunderbird?

    I had downloaded email folders from a webmail acct. I was adjusting the address for Thunderbird to obtain emails and when I looked back, the 4 folders of emails had been deleted. Can they be retrieved? If not is, there a way to undelete files on the hard drive with Windows 7?

    old website server -
    Connect to server by resetting the account details to the correct orginal settings and subscribe to see folders.
    Then synchronize all folders, so you keep a copy on the computer.
    'Keep messages for this account on this computer' should be checked if you want to synchronize messages between your local system and your mail server.
    see:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/imap-synchronization#w_configuring-synchronization-and-disk-space-usage
    When all folders have been synchronized you will have a copy of all emails and folders on your computer in your profile., but they can still be altered if they resynch with server.
    So, go into 'offline' mode, which will stop any connecting with server.
    In offline mode (two black screen icon shows in bottom left of Status bar), move all folders with emails into Local Folders.
    Local folders is a special default account in your profile folder. The folders and emails in Local Folders are on your computer and will no longer be connecting to the server.
    Do not change/modify the old imap account settings. When you are certain that all emails are in Local Folders, remove/delete the mail account.
    Tools > Account Settings
    select the old imap mail account name
    click on 'Account actions'
    select : Remove account'
    click on OK
    Create a new imap mail account for the new server settings. As folders are viewed remotely, these emails are on the server, so when you create a new imap mail account to connect to that server, you will see all your subscribed folders and their emails.
    You can continue to see old emails in Local folders.
    New Imap mail account will show the new emails in that mail account.

  • When I open to my desktop, my Windows Excell automatically opens, how can I stop that? I just want my desktop.

    Every time I open my desk top my Windows Excell automatically opens.  How do I stop that?  I just want my desktop to open.
    Thanks,  Jamie

    Look in System Preferences - Users & Groups - Highlight your user Account - Login Items - and then if you see Excel in the list then select it and click the - symbol in the box to remove it. Log out of your account and login to test.

  • How can I create an action that dynamically appends the filename, when saving?

    I have created a batch file that watches a folder for .jpgs. When a jpg is found, it runs a Photoshop droplet that resizes and exports six different sizes of the same image, then closes the image. This all works fine, however the step I am stuck on is getting Photoshop to dynamically rename the files. What I mean is when I drop in a file named something like filename.jpg, I want the images to be named according to the width of resize. Exported files should be filename-1400.jpg, filename-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg, etc. filename2.jpg would become filename2-1400.jpg, filename2-1200.jpg, filename-800.jpg. As it is now, Photoshop names the files the same names I saved them as, while creating the actions.
    I am using Photoshop CS6.

  • HT4623 How can I retrieve my Contacts that I lost after updating iOs 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi?

    I lost all my Contacts after updating iOS 6 on my iPhone 3GS through wifi. All my other apps, Notes, Photos, etc are as it is but none of my Contacts appear. I also signed up to iCloud during the update but can't find Contacts on iClouds. Pls help!

    It is strange people experience this problem only with Contacts because normally contacts are backed up with Notes and Photos and that stuff. If you are willing to do a do-over, you can try to backup, restore, and put your data back on again and see if anything new appears. You never know if some file clould have had some kind of conflict because iOS 6 was being installed while data was being restored at the same time.

  • HT4972 I have ipad version 4.3.2.  I have music on there that I want to keep.  when I go to itunes i cannot backup those music.  how can i update to ios 7 without losing the music?

    I have ipad version 4.3.2 and I want to update to ios7.  However, I cannot backup my musics on itune.  How can I update without losing my musics?

    Updating will not cause you to lose data but things can always go wrong. You should definitely backup before you update. I assume you have music on the device that was not purchased in iTunes and synced with a different iTunes library. You can transfer these songs back to your computer with third party software such as TouchCopy.

  • How to recover messages that were sent to me when iMessage was turned off?

    iMessage on my phone somehow got switched off while I was traveling abroad.  I didn't realize it about a week after I got back to the US (and realized I wasn't receiving texts from certain friends).  How can I recover those texts that were sent to me while iMessage was turned off?  They didn't show up when I turned it back on like I expected.

    If they are queued up they will just be delivered when you turn iMessage on again
    However they may have been sent back as unable to be delivered back to the sender
    No way of knowing for sure
