Mozilla Thunderbird Problem

[paulisded]

I use Thunderbird for my work email, which is removed from the server when downloaded into the program. Since I'm too lazy to create an address book, these stored emails are important for my use. Today when I attempted to check email, it appears that my existing account is gone and the "New Account Wizard" pops up. I could go through and enter the settings to resume receiving email, but I really do need those my original inbox. Any advice?

Not sure. I thought you had a giant bird problem, and it was snatching children from their front yards. That, I could assist you.

Have your Windows user account settings changed (like a different username or something)?

Is there a Thunderbird folder in this path?
C:\Users\********\AppData\Local\Mozilla

No

Ok, this is worrisome. There's no AppData folder in the path you describe.

Edit: Wait, there is app data. Sorry. But no Mozilla.

You have to put your account username in the spot where the **** are.

If it's not there, try this path:
C:\Users\[userName]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

Yeah, I know...and it's not there.

I did a system restore and all is right with the world. Thanks for your help.
