I have been using Thunderbird, formerly Netscape for over 30 years. Recently, I needed to delete about 3,000 messages I had mistakenly downloaded through Yahoo. Thunderbird just crashed. I usually just download a new version and reinstall Tbird. However, it did not work this time. So I copied the entire profile and subfolders to a stick. I uninstalled TBird and then I copied the profile folder back to where it was. Unfortunately that didn't do it. TBird started but no files, no index no nothing just an empty Bird.
So essentially I hired someone to fix the profile which seems to have been corrupted somehow, seemingly with too many sub folders, but I don't have the skills for that. He took the largest of the numerous profiles and somehow got Thunderbird to open. However, the folders opened in T-Bird, yet they contained no files. He tried for hours to populate the files to no avail.
Supposedly, every email folder, mailbox, contact etc is somewhere inside the group of "The Profile" files. I need some expert help me to get these files to show. I am willing to pay for this help.
