Thunderbird corrupt?


Eagle

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Turned on the Linux Mint 17.3 this am and Thunderbird wants me to start a new account. After looking around thunderbird everything is gone. By that i mean address book, and all emails are gone. Its like starting all over.

I think its corrupt but how i have no idea because nothing strange has happened.

Thanks,

Eagle

Hi crp,

By backup do you mean system backup or backup of adresses?

No system backup but yes i do have addresses backed up.

Did you try a system wide locate for "Inbox" and/or "Trash" ?

Dont know how to do that.

Have you tried in the toolbar "Help" and then "Troubleshooting Information", then under Application Information find Profile Directory and see if you get any response when you click "Open Directory". I'm just hoping maybe the info is still there.

 

Also, maybe try "Help", then "Restart With Addons Disabled" just to see if that gets you anywhere.

hi ebrke,

I went through Help and no Troubleshooting and no Profile Directory.

Also, maybe try "Help", then "Restart With Addons Disabled" just to see if that gets you anywhere.

This also is not there.

I have no idea what has happened.

Thanks,

if you don't know how to use the console , there should be a system menu option from the gui to search for files.

oh, and setup a system backup before something else happens.

Hi crp,

I right click the toolbar (panel) and select Help. I then type in the key words Troubleshooting Information or Application Information or Profile Directory and i get "No matching help pages found in “Desktop User Guide”.

I must be doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Eagle
