Lost power on the computer and when it came back, went through the Windows 7 stuff and went to launch Thunderbird and the email files were gone. I copy them back from a backup to the directory and when I launch TB the tree is there in the correct order but when I click on something they all disappear. Another thing I can't do is create a directory under the host name, when I right click on the host name > New Folder > and try and create it under the host name it goes under the Inbox which is directly under the host name. If I try and drag to there I want it I get an error like the directory already exists. I still have the files/directories functioning on a laptop so not in total panic mode. Thanks ~Dave

Discovered the problem, TB configured the email account as IMAP rather than POP. I went in and manually changed it to POP, copied the backup files and all better now.

I would have deleted the original post but thought I'd post a follow up instead. ~Dave
