Problem with POP3 and IMAP
Hi, i'm using Thunderbird and I had a POP3 Mailbox but suddenly the Mailbox was not working so i deleted the Mailbox and added the same Mailbox again with the difference that its a IMAP now. Since i had a POP3 before my messages should be storaged somewhere in the Computer but i can't figure out where it is because i would like to import my POP3 mails into my IMAP mailbox now. My biggest concern is that my Mails are gone now and its not possible anymore since i deleted the Mailbox. Is there a solution for it ? Best Regards

If I've read your post correctly, you've deleted the POP3 emails? They shouldn't exist any longer but you could check in the profile: C:\Users\[Users]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXXX.default-release in the folder marked 'Mail'. This is where the data files would have been located for the POP3 account. Access the name of the POP3 account and, hopefully, there will be some non-.msf files in there with decent file sizes. The name of the files should correspond to the names of the folders in which the old emails were held. Retrieving the data from them, however, would take some time and patience.
