Email files deleted from hard drive
Yesterday there was a 4 hour outage at AOL. I use Thunderbird to access my AOL account. When I discovered the outage, I check my Windows 10 hard drive where my Thunderbird emails are stored and it was empty. Not only was my INBOX empty but every saved folder, delete folder, trash folder, etc. Once AOL was operational, all of my emails reappeared on my hard drive. Everything appears to have been recovered without me doing anything. My question is: who has the ability to delete files from my hard drive without me specifically doing so either manually or through the Thunderbird app?

thunderbird does. IMAP accounts sync to the server. if the server appears empty, thunderbird syncs the PC hard drive accordingly. Then, when the IMAP account content is available, it populates to the PC. Never assume that what is on the PC is a backup because it isn't; it's the reflection of the server. If you want the content on PC to be a backup, then you need to COPY it to local folders.
