Long time TB user. After power outage today, my program stopped working and keeps asking me if I want a new account (see images). I answered no, I want to continue using my present account. However, using my file browser, I see that I now have three profiles that don't work. In /Thunderbird I have several xxxxxxxx.default files and a profiles.ini file. In /.thunderbird, I have a Crash Reports folder, two xxxxxxxx.default folders, a .directory file and a profiles.ini file.

Need to restore TB and then help with recovering/rebuilding my contacts and calendar if possible.

Uploading images feature does not seem to work. Have tried for 30 minutes to upload a 22kb file with no luck.
