THAT is your problem! Simply copying the one. If you installed Thunderbird ‘fresh’ in Win 10, the part of the folder name will be different. In particular, bring up C:/users//apdata/roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles and the same folder on the ‘old’ Win 7 C: drive. I keep ‘well backed up’ and have had to recover both Firefox and Thunderbird a couple of times.įor Thunderbird, the first thing is to bring up the ‘new’ and ‘old’ Thunderbird folders ‘side by side’ on your screen. If you haven’t overwritten the former Win 7 C: drive, you should be able to copy from that drive to your new C: drive and get everything back ‘the way it was’…hopefully. So, before following any of my recommendations, MAKE A BACKUP!
I’ve learned everything about them by trial and error (and backup and restore). I been using both Firefox and Thunderbird for about 10 years, maybe more. When I have taken the original SSD, and put it into a Windows 7 laptop, my Thunderbird account in its original format can be seen.ĭisclaimer: I am by no means a Mozilla ‘expert’, nor even ‘knowedgeable’ about their products. Two other points, I composed and saved a lot of unsent Drafts, they are nowhere to be seen of what have been transferred into my new Thunderbid account (same detaills). The original C Drive SSD is now in my new PC, I can access it. Is there a way to transfer them back in their original settings please? Initially it came out alright, but then all reverted to this new format – see attached.Ĭan’t attach it, how do I do this please? The entire profile was copied I believe, I did not do it, but to copy all the individuals folders would have taken forever. Initially I could see all my emails in their correct corresponding folders, but then for some reason they have all now been grouped in the following folders:
However this has been done in a different fashion. Good news, I have been able to rescue my Mozilla Firefox bookmarks and Thunderbird emails. I would be most grateful, if someone can please tell me how this can be done? I specifically wish to recover the the Bookmarks that is on the Mozilla Firefox browser, and also all of my emails on Mozilla Thunderbird. I have seen it on an alternative Windows 7 computer. The Motherboard on my Windows 7 gave up, however the SSD that it was on is still working properly.
