Hi,

Just converted to Windows 11 this passed week and downloaded Microsoft PC Manager to assist with disc cleanup. This last piece of information is highly significant I think.

I believe one of my initial runs of PC Manager may have deleted some data from 4 of my 5 email addresses that are generally used with Thunderbird mail.

The reason I say that is that 4 emails forced a login with full name, email address, password and IMAP default settings when I attempted to log in with each affected email separately yesterday.

Not really looking for any help as I think I shot myself in the foot unwittingly with PC Manager.

More a heads up for anyone who uses disc cleaners and decided to switch to a Microsoft design that isn't really intended for the masses, - or people who have used PC's for 30 years!

Oh well, live and learn ...

If you used the Thunderbird import tool to import your old accounts then it simply does not transfer passwords.
