Could you tell us something about the issues that led you to re-load Thunderbird, and quite what you did when doing so? Did you remove the program, or its profile, or both?

If your profile is intact, Thunderbird will just pick it up and use it. If it's missing files, that suggests it is incomplete, so has been moved or doesn't naturally contain everything you expected it to.

Are you accounts IMAP based or POP based?
