I posted yesterday about losing my Thunderbird profile. I'm trying to figure out what happened, and would like your help.
The "Profiles" folder has vanished from C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird. All of my email seems to have disappeared. I tried running Recuva and while it finds other deleted files in AppData, it does not show anything for Thunderbird. Everything else on my computer is working normally.
The only thing I can think of was that chkdsk did detect (and possibly correct) a bad block on the hard drive. Is it possible that the Profiles folder was in that bad block?
Do you have any suggestions for how I can attempt to determine what happened to the folder?
C:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird
folder (if that is where thunderbird is indeed storing the profile) and then selectRestore previous versions
which should allow you to restore the missing data.chkdsk
invalidated your shadow copy at the same time, unless you yourself have disabled the System Restore feature.
