We switched from Yahoo to Gmail. I was trying to set up a new account within Thunderbird for this new gmail account. However, I decided to remove my prior email account not realizing it could possibly delete all my folders in my inbox as well as subfolders. I just assumed it would delete the address but keep the current emails on my computer. Poof - voila - all gone. Any idea how to reclaim them?
