Thunderbird overwrites migrated Profile data after start

Hey there.

After reinstalling windows i tried to migrate my profile folder seamlessly but it looks like thunderbird overwrites files e.g. the filter rules (msgFilterRules.dat) after starting. Don't know if there are other files affected. The path and the profile name are the same as before.. Using GMX IMAP

Any ideas how to change that behavior?

Hm. could it be, that the filter file is destroyed? When i open it with wordpad, i only get chaotic text and symbols (most stuff is asian ;) ).. Guess thats not normal. Other dat files look structured and fine..
