Lost e-mail files

I recently returned to my home computer after having been away from it for a few months.

When I pulled up Thunderbird; I found that all of my e-mails (including folders) are gone. I am wondering if the e-mail accounts may have become disconnected from the program.

Where can I go to see if the files are still there & how do I re-associate them with my account?

OK, do more separate searches (on all drives, including hidden and system files) for: Inbox.msf msgFilterRules.dat popstate.dat

I will have to do this when I get home as I am getting ready go to work out of State & the computer that this issue is on is the computer that I leave at home.
