Mail folders disappeared and Thunderbird asks me to start a new account.
I started up my computer as usual and Thunderbird did an automatic update. Then Thunderbird opened but the screen has no mail folders. There is a new user screen offering me a gandi email and asking me to add an account. No matter what I do or how I log on, I can't find any of my mail folders or accounts EXCEPT that the address book is there.

Thank you Airmail...this got me a little way toward a solution but is a bit over my head! (not techy here).
Since my address book looks fine, I followed the "lost/corrupt" directions. I located the pref file and see several "mail.account" lines there (a server and identity for each email address??)
The next sentence in the instructions confused me. If I DO find mail.accounts, what then? Do I need to then go on to #1 and #2 below, back up and find a new copy of the js prefs file? How and where would I find a new copy?
Thanks...
I am not sure what to tell you there. If at all possible I would export your address books to have a backup before you go too far. If you can still get to the address book window use Tools-Export. Otherwise just copy the .Mab files somewhere save.
