Default My Worst Nightmare

Hi all. The story is this: Yesterday I closed Thunderbird, and then reopened it almost straight after when I realised I needed to send an email. However when I reopened it all my settings had been reset, all my accounts had been wiped and worst of all, all my emails were gone. Every email either sent, or received was just gone. Emails from clients, suppliers, universities, friends, colleagues - the lot. Just gone.

Can anyone offer any advice whatsoever?!

Thanks, Harry.

Make sure you run a backup tool next time!

Aren't they stored in the memory somewhere, I'm not too clued up on PC's

Well I know Outlook stores emails locally on the PC, so I naturally assumed that Thunderbird did too. Seems I was wrong. B*ll*cks.

Woww! That must really suck! Can't imagine how it happened..maybe a power surge wiped out your data..dunno. Maybe a data recovery tool could help .

This is why I keep using webmail - entourage did that to me once and I lost it all so moved to webmail only...

Thunderbirds does store them locally. Check out this:
