Will downloading the latest Thunderbird cause a loss of my current emails and files? Or will they all be there after the download? Micaela

I always suggest doing a full profile backup (when Thunderbird is NOT running) prior to an upgrade. This is because outside services, such as antivirus software, sometimes interfere and corrupt the upgrade.
