No data was recoverable from the crashed hard drive, nothing! Need help to find a way to recover old thunderbird archive folders, adress book and so on. Does thunderbird store this info anywhere?

Yes your hard drive. If you used IMAP email your messages should be on your providers server. Thunderbird is email client software running on your computer. There are no Thunderbird servers doing backups for you.

No data was recoverable from the crashed hard drive. I just checked cox my Thunderbird archive folders that were on the crashed hard drive are not there. The archive folders were created within the old Thunderbird account.

There are no Thunderbird accounts. Accounts come from email providers. If you kept your email on your local drive like Thunderbird address books are then I am not sure what miracle you are looking for Here is for next time. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data
