How to restore Thunderbird without a working copy
Hello - I think I may have lost all my old emails. Also, I cannot set up a new copy of Thunderbird because it tells my that my configuration does not match, and I must supply the setting manually for imap and maybe other things - probably my settings for my local year-by-year archive since 1998 or thenabouts. Which I stupidly never made a copy of. I do have a copy of my latest default profile from 1st January 2024. Is there anyone who can help me, please ? Happy New Year from Sarah

If your saved profile is intact, it should be simple to reattach. One way is to click tools>import>import from another thunderbird installation and select the profile folder.
Oh thank you. But alas, I do not have another Thunderbird installation :-( And I cannot seem to be able to set up another installation ...
Please tell us what you do have. will your Thunderbird run? If so, what version is it? You can get that info from help>about pane.
