Deleted Emails

Thunderbird Email and messaging

I just deleted all my emails in all my folders in my host email account thinking that I was saving them locally in Thunderbird but I've lost all my emails. Is there anyway of recovering them?

There is a possibility, but it's tedious. If you have not compacted the folders, try this:

  1. click help>troubleshootinginformation
  2. scroll to 'profile folders' and click 'open folder'
  3. exit thunderbird
  4. you are now in the profile. If the messages were in an IMAP account (that's my guess), click the imapmail folder and then the account folder. you should see the folder with the missing messages, such as INBOX, INBOX.msf. Ignore the msf files.
  5. Open the file "Inbox" with Notepad or a similar text editor. ("INBOX" has no suffix; do not open "INBOX.msf.") Locate your deleted email by searching the document.
  6. Locate the line before your email text that reads "X-Mozilla-Status: 000X" (where 'X' is any character other than 0). Change the number to four zeros (″0000"). Repeat for all other messages. Save the document and exit Notepad
  7. Now, COPY the file to the Mail\Local Folders folder in the profile
  8. restart thunderbird and the messages should appear.
