My Windows laptop crashed today. When I restarted and opened Thunderbird all of my emails were not listed and it prompted me to create an email account - it is behaving like a new install with no profile.
I checked "about:profiles"and it lists the correct existing profile folder as "This is the profile in use".
Clicking "Open Folder" displays the files in my existing profile and their "date modified" property updates whenever I restart Thunderbird, so it must be accessing the correct profile folder. Yet it is behaving as if there is no profile.
Perhaps a file in the profile folder is corrupt?
It has been a week or so since I backed up the folder and I don't want to lose all of the recent email messages.
Is there something I can do to that will make Thunderbird recognise my profile properly (and retain the recent emails) ?
