if i download an older version of thunderbird, will i loose all my current emails on thunderbird today
My computer had corrupt files on it, so my computer guy had to reinstall windows 11 & all my other folders to my computer. I re-installed Thunderbird with the new version 154.0 & all of my old emails are there but NO email addresses or contact addresses I had saved in there. Please help! Can I download an older version of Thunderbird 139.0.2 from June 17, 2025 for all of my email addresses to be there & contact addresses?

Do this: the files you want are abook.sqlite and history.sqlite. Locate your old Thunderbird profile for them from the folders the tech person salvaged. Then do this:
- click help>troubleshootinginformation
- scroll to 'profile folder' and click 'open folder'
- now, exit thunderbird
- you are now in the profile. replace the existing abook.sqlite and history.sqlite with the ones from old setup
- restart thunderbird and they should be there
How do I find those files from the old setup unless I install it? The only ones I have now on the computer are from this week
Then they are lost. From yourpost, I inferred that the tech person saved existing files prior to the reinstall. My suggestion is to always do backups. I regret your loss. .
