Thunderbird lost Folders

I recently downloaded Incredimail to try it out. After a short time I
decided to stick with Thunderbird but all the folders were lost. They
still show in the file list in Explorer but will not open in
Thunderbird 0.4

I have a lot of stuff stored in my save folders and would like to get to
it more easily than opening the while file in Word Pad and digging
through all the header data that clutters the place.

I did get one set of folders back for one account.The other two are
still in limbo.

TIA!!

If I understand you correctly, you are trying to use the profile that
you have saved before. You have all the folder, but thunderbird doesn't
seem to read it properly. I had a similar problem and this link helped

Unless I'm on some pretty good drugs, this is an hardware thunderbird
(ie microprocessor) newsgroup and not a software thunderbird (ie mail
client) newsgroup.

True, but it's a natural mistake. The wonder is that it doesn't
happen more often, I don't remember a similar post in the past 2
years. Ya outa see the queries that come into the alt.winsock.
