Just tried to restore a backup file made with mozbackup. This file is 999 mb large. But when mozbackup is ready and i open Firefox none of the accounts I made is visable and the folders that are visble are completely empty. Please help me to restore. I need those e-mail messages badly!

re :But when mozbackup is ready and i open Firefox

do you really mean Firefox or maybe Thunderbird ?

To restore to thunderbird: http://kb.mozillazine.org/MozBackup

This link offers advise on how to access the Mozbackup file and restore manually if the auto did not work.

A backup and restore option as in MS-Outlook works easier!
