I was told that there is a way of getting the old emails back. I did go into thunderbird/help/trouble shooting info/show folder and it takes me where the profile is. I have copied and pasted this profile on another windows computer that has thunderbird installed in the profile folder location however only the imap folders are coming up and not the missing pop emails. If I look under Mail and news account section I can see 3 accounts with the top one saying Local folders and the bottom 2 showing the imap server details. Do you know where we can find the pop emails and how do we recover them? Please this is extremely urgent Thanks in advance for your help
