Hi, I am sorry this may get a little wordy....

I had to reset an email account password ( for one of the four profiles/email addresses tbird manages) with my isp because tbird suddenly could not connect to the mail server ( It kept asking me to enter a new password.),.

Having supplied tbird with the new password it appears to have made a totally new profile and all my folders and emails are gone. I can find the default folder but I dont know what to do with it?

I just tried to create a new profile and copy details from the old to the new and nothing has changed. I assume because I am backing up and replacing profile contents that are already missing all the emails and folders I want back. Massive sad face.
