Hey there,

I had thunderbird at my ultrabook with rules/filters for 2 IMAP-Accounts to move mails into different local folders. Now my Windows crashed and I had to install it new. After re-installing thunderbird all those mails are lost.

What can I do?

Thanks for the help!

Restore a recent backup of your Thunderbird profile folder, assuming you've created one in the first place.

HOW do you do this? I.e. find where the old Local Folders info is?
