I have lost all my store Thunderbird email folders, other than local, because I deleted the email account and re-installed it from scratch in order to update smtp and port number. Are the messages still on my C: drive somewhere? If so where, I have searched AppData etc. thanks, Jane

Next time just edit the account setting, (right click the account and select settings) removing like this is like crushing your car because it needs fuel. This will be time consuming for you.
