I did a complete OS re-install of Windows 10. Programs and OS are on one drive, all my data files including email are on another. I did save my windows user data to a third hard drive, but I don't remember copying that back for Thunderbird because I wasn't sure I was going to re-install Thunderbird. Thunderbird doesn't save account data online somewhere does it?

Hi I think your question may answer how that happened. Your OS is on one drive. Your emails are on another drive. If the entire "profile" folder for Thunderbird is on the drive that was not reinstalled, all of your profile would be unchanged. That includes emails, account settings and preferences, all saved in the profile. All Thunderbird needs to know is where the profile is. It would normally be in User Data (%appdata%) - not in the same place as the Thunderbird program. I hope that helps?

Thanks! I think I may have copied the profile over.
